BFM #697 Mullets, Bullets, and Hops

​​tl;dr we played with a cute dog.

A screen-grab from an adorable video of Just Charlie Brown.

We decided to celebrate America’s b-day in the place that started it all: Old City.  We met up at Jon’s bar, where Goose’s chalk talk skipped half the marks (not that anyone listens anyway).   One of the marks was a selfie check, where the number written was the number of people the pack was supposed to squeeze into a selfie.  The pack couldn’t quite establish if that meant “at least” or “exactly” that many people, but we took a bunch of selfies on the jog up through Spruce St. Harbor Park and past the summer fest toward Elfreth’s Alley.  Elfreth’s Alley is the nation’s oldest residential street, but more importantly, is home to Just Charlie Brown.  We had our Beer Near in the courtyard behind Just Bridget’s apartment, and ooh-ed and ahh-ed over her adorable golden doodle, who liked to play with balloons and get attention.  Then we moved on to Washington Square, where we had red, white, and blue Jello shots.  On the way back to the bar, people started signing at a song check because Cause showed up even though she wasn’t the DFL – just FYI, it’s only a joke that we wait for Cause to start singing, the rule is really to wait for everyone.

Back at the rooftop of Jon’s we held a circle that featured an impressive number of cums latelies/BFM old guard hashers.  Including Shop N Fuck, who apparently can’t hang anymore, asking “Have down downs gotten shorter?” Baa Ram Him had an impressive hash crash along trail that effed his face up (but how could you tell?), leaving him looking like a bad Nelly impression.  The Virgins were not impressed by circle, but we had a 100% flash rate from our visitors, Super Cool Guy and Maybe It’s Gaybelline.  Bitch$hots and Judge Doody had a costume contest, which at first glance appeared to be an easy win for ACP, but Judge Doody was secretly packing a flag speedo under his pants, and image we won’t soon forget.
 
It was International Dicklomat’s last hash with us before shipping off to Korea :(.
