Hash House Harriers in Canberra: up-coming runs

I’ve been hashing for many a long year. The ‘No poofters’ thing comes up more in some hashes than others. However, Utah has it right. The terms does not refer to gays, it refers to party-poopers, whiners, whingers and their ilk.

We’re gay friendly. Hell, we’re friendly to everyone except those who are violent. Angry people are not welcome. Police forces across the world have been amazed that hash crowds from 500 to 5000 thousand get together for big hashes, drink copious amounts, and do so completely peacefully. We are proud of that aspect of hashing.

However, there is occasional coarse language and sexual references. Not for those of a nervous disposition, perhaps.

Don’t know what you’re talking about.

Overheard (a.k.a. FishAr$e)

So sue me!

They’re a great bunch, Overheard. I like them very much. And I do like the hash sense of humour.

Still laughing about how the Utah hashers let Licks The Crack’s dog hash with them!

It is still not very politically correct, but as the front pages warns:

Located within these pages you can get a taste of our humor and our history, but the faint of heart should be warned that Hash humor is occasionally of an adult nature. Explore at your own risk.

I do accept that hash is probably not everybody’s cup of tea ….

Which is what I was at pains to say in previous threads. They’re/we’re a bunch of irreverent &^%$#@*!s, but by Bob they’ve supported me through some stuff much more than some I once called friends.

I’m going to say, ‘Ah, spit!’ too ….

: )

Wow, yes, how funny!

The Utah hashers seem to have added quite a few rules to the original version however ….

There is a footnote about the ‘poofter’ thing:

** For purposes of these rules, the term ‘poofter’ refers to a more liberal definition meaning someone who goes out of their way to prevent the Hash from having fun. We do let Licks The Crack’s dog Hash afterall. However, for item (b) above regarding the ovine relationships, poofter may also be interpreted by its older definition.

Ah memories, haven’t seen that for years. I used to own the vinyl version and knew every word. To this day, I still say, ‘Ah, spit!’
