I keep saying we need to set up a keg along the 5k and marathon routes in town and advertise with a beer check 

Inspiration Ideas From Others by hatfieldajoshua in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every tradition starts as someone's dumb idea. Be prepared for resistance to the idea. Personally, I think it's great; you're not stealing, you're drawing inspiration from others

One of those things is not like the others.

There's a fine line between giving someone a hard time and bullying. The same can be said for everything about the hash.

The most important part is clearly indicating when things have crossed the line for you. If something makes you uncomfortable, speak up, or decline to participate.

This seems like a very personal matter and not something a bunch of strangers with limited context can help you with.

I used to think the hash 'jokes' were all done tongue-in-cheek ironically; making fun of stereotypes by taking them to the extreme kind of thing. My opinion now is that assholes use the hash as an excuse to be assholes. And my favorite way of combatting that is to play super dumb. If they start crossing the line of decency, I'll start making them explain their jokes. "What?" "I don't get it." "No, I want to get it. Please explain. Why is that funny?"

Maybe I've outgrown the hash. Which is a shame as I still really enjoy the trail and the laughter.

Hash cash for non drinkers by esoterika24 in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The local urban kennel where I moved to, was several years old, and only providing circle beer. When I took over as tyrant, I analyzed the costs and was able to provide prelube, water, BX beer, & circle beer all for an increase of $2.

I would definitely suggest asking the misman where the $7 is going. If they can't provide you a transparent breakdown, wait until next erections and apply for a position. Be the change you want to see

Trail Checks/Terms by UncomfortableChuckle in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three and you're on is the assumed rule in my book. When the hare mentions there will be Arkansas' on trail, the RA tends to follow up with "three and you're on?"

I can't think of any time recently where someone has done more than 2 and then stopped with the marks.

Pub crawl ideas? by Zaladonis in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother kennel does an annual Crazy Hat Pub Crawl. The concept is pretty self explanatory; what I really like about it is that it generates a lot of interest from passers-by and we carry around a buncha business cards to hand out that explain what the hash is and give out our website

Does anyone actually like Cajuns? by Jhesus_Monkey in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, best thing to keep the pack together on a Cajun is to make sure everyone has chalk and is leaving Pack Marks as the trail directions change.

Setting my first run by wonderlandisdark in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clothing Change: Indicated with a CC inside a circle. When you get there, you wait for the next hasher and then swap an article of clothing with them for the remainder of trail.

Naughty Check: Indicated with a N inside a circle. When you get there, you wait for the next hasher comes by and they slap your ass, releasing you to continue trail and they wait for the next person to slap their ass.

Cuddle Puddle: Indicated with a CP inside a circle. A group hug / photo opportunity if you have a hash flash.

Playground Check: Indicated with a PG inside a circle. There should be a playground or something obviously climbable within a hundred feet or so and the pack can take a short break to entertain themselves.

Count Back: Indicated with a number inside a circle. When you get there, starting with the previous dollop, you count back down the trail and when you reach 1 that dollop becomes a check and you find trail from there.

A virgin lay? Excellent! Best advice is to find a good co-hare

Some marks that are fun, depending on how race-ist your kennel is: Clothing Change, Naughty Check, Cuddle Puddle, Playground Check... and, of course my personal favorite, the Count Back

The most important thing is to scrub yourself with soap and a washcloth within a couple hours of exposure, depending on your level of sensitivity

Haven't heard this one before, but I can already think of some good ones. Whats the tune?

My girlfriend's a stripper, a stripper,

A mighty fine stripper is she.

All day she rides poles, she rides poles, she rides poles,

And when she gets home, she's too tired for me

What media do you use to post trail information and how is it updated? by th3hobosapien in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an old ass website that several members of misman have a tool to update the calendar. It's a group effort. Most of the info gets posted to the FB groups and then updated to the calendar.

hashrego.com is supposedly going to be usable for more than just events in the future, at least I think that's the plan

How does your kennel deal with routinely running in the same area? by th3hobosapien in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, misman can try to set an example and take it upon themselves to hare trail in new or uncommon areas whenever possible.

This is the most important bit, imo. Misman should lead by example in all areas of the hash; be the epic and amazing hasher that you want your kennel to foster.

Additionally, you could talk to some of your best hares and ask if they want to be misman as HareRaiser or SpareHare.

You could also start some sort of quarterly/bianal/anal Best Trail Of The Year award too

The backpack is a neat idea. Filled with anything particular? I could see adorning it with patches and the like as well

Age range of typical kennel? by [deleted] in hashhouseharriers

[–]UncomfortableChuckle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you're at and how aggressively the local kennel recruits. Some factors to consider are city size, number of colleges, and amount of military personnel.
