BFM #114 - I Can’t Believe We Didn’t Get Thrown Out

Posted on April 27, 2006

27 April 2006 – PHILADELPHIA:  Real quick - I said I’d write the trail part of the hash from two weeks ago at Bonner’s, so here’s the short version:  There was a lot of running.  And there was a lot of ass-slapping.  And two beer checks.  The End.

Ok, now that that’s out of the way…. This week’s hash started at The Irish Pub, a place that’s way nicer than the places we ordinarily frequent.  C*nting Season and Fiber Opdick arrived first, followed by Just Stephanie and Just Mark from LVH3, Rash, He’s a Lesbian, Jamaican Me Horny from Atlanta, Oral Oh!, Skin Fiddle, Can You Hear Me Now?, Tickle My Elmo, Just Maritza, Just Jamie, Stacks, Dry Hump, Nice Shoes, Wanna F*ck?, Cause for Blindness, Self Service, Just Andy, Just Dan, E = My Cock Squared, Strap On, and Little Red Riding Wood.  The Mob gathered at the back of the bar, and Ms. Season summarily distributed the straws around until she was left with her very own short straw. But Can You Hear Me Now? gallantly stepped up  and headed off with the bag of blue flour. 

Five or ten minutes later, the Mob poured out onto the sidewalk in search of trail.  They took off west down Walnut St, scaring a group of teenaged tourist girls and nearly getting hit by a bus.  And seriously, people, you KNOW how they drive here in in Philadelphia.  ESPECIALLY the SEPTA buses. [Motto: “A light timed for 35 is also timed for 70.”] STOP RUNNING INTO TRAFFIC. God.

BFM #113 - Beer and Loathing in Philadelphia

Posted on April 20, 2006

20 April 2006 – PHILADELPHIA:  Some stories are composed of unbiased fact.  Some stories are composed of unfortunate lies.  And then there are stories that are simply based on confusion.  This account of the BFMH3’s 113th trail at the B and W Bar will be of the latter variety.  Why?  Well, I kind of sort of missed the start of the hash and then became kind of sort of confused by some pretty red flour from last week’s hash and then basically decided to scrap trying to find the trail in favor of channeling my inner Rocky.  And why was I late in the first place?  I was industriously researching clever ways to use leftover Easter candy and just plain wasting time watching fine films reenacted in 30 seconds by bunnies.

BFM #112 - Scooby Snatches Straws

Posted on April 13, 2006

13 April 2006 - Philadelphia Ahh….Thursdays…don’t you just love ‘em? Well, I do.

This Thursday the BFM met at the lovable favorite, Bonner’s Irish Pub. After fighting the Schuylkill Expressway idiots, then moderate traffic (more idiots) in center city, I arrived to find a front row parking space. First thought: "It’s going to be a good night!"

There was no crowd in Bonner’s. It was quiet, boring and unusually empty.

After only a few minutes alone at the bar, Skin Fiddle appeared admitting that he must have missed a 2nd beer check; Then Cunting Season and Tastes Like Chicken, who admittedly, "just came back" because they "didn’t want to be out there anymore."

BFM #111 - A Cast of Thousands

Posted on April 6, 2006

6 April 2006 So I was getting on the train this afternoon to go home, and do you know who I saw buying a newspaper?  Elvis. ELVIS!  I swear to you, I saw Elvis.  He’s not dead, y’all!  Of course, he’s old  squat Elvis, not young shiny Elvis, but still. Elvis.

Does this have anything to do with Thursday’s Hash?  Nope, absolutely nothing. Well, maybe a little something.  But we’ll get to that. 

The evening started out as it usually does with hashers collecting at the bar, which this week was Kelliann’s at 44th and Spruce in University City.  Daylights Savings time seems to have enlivened people because, boy did a lot of you show up!  At the bar were Stacks, Scooby Snatch, Tickle My Elmo, Hold the Sausage, Skin Fiddle, Rash, the newly-returned-Dolph-Lundgren-look-alike She Man, Cunnilingus Interruptus, Little F*ckin Winkie, AKA all the way from Bucks County who brought along Just Liz, Can You Hear Me Now?, Dancing Fool, Just Dan who occasionally hashes with Philly H3 and brought out Just Marcie, C*nting Season, Fiber Opdick, Cause For Blindness, E=My Cock Squared, Strap On, Bumble Beaver from Boston, Gag Reflex originally from Boston but who has been living in Philly for approximately forever but hasn’t come hashing since Halloween, and visiting from Fort Lauderdale, Tongue In Groove, who brought along Just Andy.
