BFM 376: Stinko
When you look at the history of it, the act of celebrating Mexicans kicking the hell out a French army a hundred and forty years ago by dressing like a Mexican and drinking margaritas is really the act of looking for an excuse to drink. Seriously, read about the battle of Puebla sometime. An army of French troops got mugged by a bunch of Mexicans, who apparently, according to Wikipedia, stabbed them in the back, took the hubcaps off their horses and spray painted their forts. Apparently the French had hired them to mow their lawns, and a disagreement ensued. The French had actually agreed to leave Mexico and the battle wasn’t even supposed to happen, but, “When the Mexican people saw these French soldiers wandering about with rifles, they took it that hostilities had recommenced and felt threatened.”-Actual Wikipedia quote.
Ask anyone drinking that day, however, and to a man they will tell you it’s to celebrate Mexican Independence (Actual Mexican Independence Day is Sep 16th). Have it on a hash day, and we’re talking PARTAAY. Hey, at least we hashers KNOW the origins of our silly traditions.
So, dressed as an undocumented worker, I donned my $5 sombrero and headed into the Druids Keep, an Irish Bar, filled with real Lesbians, and their dogs, to celebrate a misunderstood holiday that is barely celebrated in Mexico. God, I love this country.
WHO STANKOed: Hold The Sausage, Just Meg, Short Distance Rimmer, Flounder, Cause For Blindness, Where’s My Vagina, Just Eliza, Just Jessica, Wild Bill, Dumpster, Rear Engineer, Eat Trail Suck Head (Visitor), 3 Balls, Just Dave, Can You Hear Me Now, He’s A Lesbian, Sternum And Rectum, Tits of Steel, Mr, Snuffleuphermuff, Doctor Squealgood, Shemale, Tube Cock, Bonzai Bush, Just Michele, Tickle My Elmo, Just Jen, Grab My Handlebars, Penis In My Ear, One Inch In, S&M Man, Shemale, and Piss Cycle (apparently PC is TWO words. Ya happy now? You can stop bombarding my facebook ).
Sausage started handing out straws and CAUSE, of all people, drew the short one. As we resigned ourselves to the trail lasting five days, Tits of Steel thrust her chest forward and decided to help. A quick conspiratory whispering session with Sausage followed in which the co-hares were told where the beer stop would be, and off they went. Since it was Cause, we decided to give her a decent chance and waited four hours before we chased after her.
TRAIL:
Upon exiting Druid’s Keep, we were confronted with the site of what can only be described as a flour explosion in the middle of Brown Street, and immediately looked around for Cause’s body, thinking that someone had made her a hood ornament. Apparently Sausage had yet to get a vaginoplasty for her bag of flower, and had also neglected to inform anyone of this. Finally someone yelled “ON ON” and we took off down Hancock Street towards Spring Garden. Do you know how hard it is to hold onto a Sombrero while you’re running? WTF! We hit all the back roads, running into parking lots and under Vine Street, next to a bum (Oh, I’m sorry, a Homeless person) who yelled a drunken expletive to us as we trucked on by, into Franklin Square for a Margarita stop. I snuck off into the tree line because I felt like tearing up my leg for no reason and then came back for some shots. From the stop, we headed up into North Philly. Since I felt particularly lazy, I decided to follow Rimmer to the beer stop, rather than run the trail.
I’m glad I did, because our hares had a hankering for some Ghetto Shiggy. Now I love urban decay as much as the next guy, but I have a minor problem with running unarmed through neighborhoods where I have been shot at or cleaned up bodies before. The last thing the pack needed would be me, saying, “Oh yeah, we had a shooting here, and over there is a drug corner” Instead, Rimmer and I wandered to the newly regentrfied Northern Liberties, near where some asshole used Subcuntinent’s apartment as an entry point to murder her neighbor. The beer stop was under a parking ramp, and no one apparently checked the unattended cooler. Nice. Glad Bin Laden’s dead, so he can’t use that info. (Like how I was able to mix in a current events reference?). We attacked the Busch beers like the media did the former President. (There’s two).
While we were swilling cheap brew, Tits wandered in, with a satisfied look followed by Cause sporting two bloody knees. Now we all made fun of cause, but later it dawned on me just HOW satisfied Tits looked. I missed it? Damn you, big belly of mine! We walked back and I decided to run and ended up at Liberties, an old bar where a cop had been killed in the 1870s. His portrait still adorns the wall there. I drank a quick Guinness for him and made it back to Druid’s Keep just in time for…
