Surprised? That I want to contribute to mis-management for a second year? I’m not – I love hashing and especially love meeting everyone at the beginning of the hash. As long as I can continue to fit it into my schedule and don’t get tired of showing up every week, I will continue to hold this position. Surprisingly, though, many people thought I would be moving on due to my extended absence of the last 3 weeks. Nope! I’m back for another year!
Today is the Incumming Mis-management hash….but I’m late! Although I arrive on time at the start location, since I am coming directly from a work meeting in Tysons Corner, I’m still in my work clothes. I instruct a couple of roaming hashers on where to congregate and head over to the Starbucks to use their facilities (I could change out in the open, but the sky has just opened up and it’s sleeting).
And who do I encounter in the Starbucks? Assfault and Just Jen. I sign them in (always open for business!) and hand the sign-in book to Assfault to give to anyone on MM while I’m changing. An Asian chick goes into the restroom after Assfault and ends up taking forever!! I swear she occupies the bathroom for 10 minutes (if not longer).
In the meantime, there is this creepy dude talking to me while I am standing in line for the bathroom. I never look his way, I never make eye contact, I don’t even smile at him, but the things he says are just wrong! I know I’m a hasher and should be able to handle anything, but it’s very different when you’re saying sh*t to another hasher and when some random person starts spewing filth.
So, Mr. Random Dude tells me that he is supposed to take his meds but he isn’t taking them any longer. Why not???!!! You need them! Then he tells me how he met this chick last week in the Starbucks and talked to her for hours and then went behind the Starbucks into a neighboring alley where she offered him a blowjob. He said he was bothered by her offer and that he doesn’t do such things. And he kept repeating the story. A woman in line behind me bolted and I would have too if I hadn’t already been to the shops nearby to know that there was no alternative place for me to change.
But regardless, here are my mental reactions:
What were you doing in the alley in the first place? Up to no good!
Was that girl really coming on to you? Ha! Doubt it!
Why are you telling ME this story (even as I pretend not to listen)? Don’t even begin to classify me as a chick to go down a dark alley with a random stranger! Haven’t started yet and ain’t going to now!
What the hell is that Asian chick doing in the bathroom? Hurry up!
Finally! The Asian chick runs out of the bathroom and I realize she stopped up the toilet which is why it took her so long. Hell! I don’t care about the friggin’ toilet, I just need to change into my running clothes.
I quickly change and run back to the start. And boy am I late! There are easily 50 people waiting for me to sign them in and no-one else on MM is around. WTF??!!
“Assfault, why didn’t you give the sign-in book to someone to start collecting?”
“There wasn’t anyone from MM here.”
Great! I’m starting off my second year badly. And where is Big Bend Over, pray tell? Dude – you’re my backup. You need to get here on time, too. And why are there SOOOO many people here? 18 virgins??!!! Don’t y’all know you’re supposed to stay home and warm when it’s cold and sleeting out? Yes, I’m complaining – y’all should know by now that I’m a big baby.
…and we’re off! And this time, the hares (Cum Dumpling, Areola Borealis, and Obeastiologist) really are telling the truth when they say the trail is short, dry, and flat. (Well, there are sections that aren’t flat with big check backs, but I skipped those parts and the trail is average length – 4-ish miles, but who’s counting?) Great trail!
One major complaint, though! Who keeps calling true trail on 3 dollops of flour? And who calls on-on when there is only one dollop? D*mn newbie FRBs!! And boy, do we have a fast pack tonight! I have to admit I’m a lemming, but why bother reading trail when I’ve got 50 people in front of me telling me the check goes straight ahead? This sh*t is ludicrous! And then half the pack gets all turned around in Dupont Circle for no d*mn reason at all! I have to admit, though, the hares did a hilarious Turkey-Eagle split where the Eagle trail is SHORTER than the Turkey trail by 100 yards. You guys are having entirely too much fun on this trail!
Since trail is over, it’s time for late sign-in, right? Well, I can’t sign anyone in because everyone’s coming to me with $20 bills. People! I don’t have the cash to give change – that’s Big Bend Over’s job. Where the hell IS he?
And this is where I must make my formal apology to Big Bend Over – I’m sorry I was cussing up a storm about him slacking on the job in front of the hash. I should have realized that he was still lost on trail. I was not pleasant and out of control. I’ll try better next time. Seriously.
