Sixteen hashers with two canine companions met at the Moss Lady in
Beacon Hill Park to celebrate the annual La Fheile Padraig with a Dark Side hared by
Speedy Whorezales, I Dream of Weenie with assistance from
Prosucker. Hashers were directed to arrive with green pool noodles
although the reason was neither explained nor apparent during the hash. Perhaps the noodles were to represent a shillelagh
to round out appearance suitable to the occasion. In fact the runners did engage in some "noodle sparring" along the trail.
The trail led through Cook Street Village, Saint Anne’s Academy grounds, into James Bay environs before returning to Beacon
Hill Park where the Beer Check was at the Cameron bandstand location. Weenie led the walkers
on an amble with shortcuts from the trail. To mark the occasion the Religious Advisor, Richard the Turd, wore an Irish hat in place
of the traditional mitre when calling into the circle the "guilty". First in were Oh Candida
and Prosucker for their "weak" brandishing of their "shillelaghs" during the "melees" on trail.
Stoolie Andrews on the other hand, boasting that his "noodle" interpretation!?) was longest and thickest,
engaged in some serious whack-a-mole with his noodle. There were no casualties but into the circle he came.
Speedy was charged for duck trolling!! – perhaps seeking to augment his weekly groceries.
Sir My Cocks A Fallen, always on the scrounge, cannot pass by a little library on trail. He was
joined by Stroke Alone for this diversion. They were charged for "reading" on trail.
Ice Breaker clearly has a "colour issue" – he brought a teal noodle instead of the green that others
had. Down-down he did. Jack the Tripper and Dikkus sought
to get an early start on the festivity by toking prior to the start of the hash. The charge was for being "highrish".
Weenie was honoured asa Good Samaritan. While setting the trail he came across someone who had
ODed. His 911 call and standing by for first responders undoubtedly prevented a death. Roadkill
participated in her second Dark Side. It has been some time since last seen at a VH3 event: she was invited into the circle to
drink from the sacred vessel and lead the hash prayer, which she did admirably (amongst giggles). Despite the trail being
marked with "gold" dots (actually yellow flour – VH3 is not that well-financed) there was no pot of gold at the end.
However, as always, the BC was a reward in itself! SLAINTE! On-afters was at the
Bent Mast.
