Hash 469, the Chinese affair

Manolo and company hared the monumental 4SIXTYNINE hash. Make no mistake, the power of the hare is strong in Lima. Manolo conjured up very rarely seen rain on the start of this run. The group, about 40, reluctantly began the hash about an hour-and-a-half late (or early??) and we proceeded to run through, around, above, and even below the Chinese Peruvian cultural center.

Marking the trail has really become a thing best read by some French cave dwelling anthropologist. Some arrows went up, some down, and some in reverse. Nevertheless, we found our beerstop situated between seven ragged downtrodden dogs and 12 chickens that were picking their own feathers out so that our dinner would not take so long.

Back at the center, we welcomed three newcummers: 2 ladies and a germ. The run and walk both received generous ratings of 9. Hashmaster got things going by having the two ladies dressed in purple have down-downs for their participation in the Senor de los Milagros events in Lima. For good measure, we made this gender unbiased and Chino stepped in, donning a Dona Pepa gown.

Things got hot (? really?) when the hashmaster offered up a shirt to anyone who could sing a song. There being no takers, Fresco (so names cause he ate a kilo of cheese on the trail) walked in and with all shame, left the circle to change. As SpermBank of Mauto H3 would say, "he must work out..."

Next hash is a biggie: halloween. Surely, the hashes of the world are planning big stuff. Our hash will be in San Borja, starting at 4:00 pm. Be on time, and come in costume. There are prizes for best costume, a chifa buffet dinner, and HOT HOT Latin dancing. This reviewer cannot hold back his new hash shoes to get there.
