Hash #170 - St. Patrick's Day Hash

As is our tradition, we solemnly pay homage to the death of St Patrick, which happened for sure on March 17th but it's uncertain what year in the second half of the 5th century!

But we are not a dour bunch, and St. Patrick's Day celebrations are a bit of a must, so even though it's the anniversary of his death, totally made up, and roughly 1500 years ago, we celebrate!

OK - maybe we still don't have a pedal-powered stripper-pole, but we can always dream! The great thing about it is that it's a celebration, pure & simple & very, very green.

Yes. There will be green beer. A keg of it, to be exact, and we're celebrating at Mickey Gin's fine Irish establishment, Flannery's Irish Geo-pub, where karaoke stars are born!

Bring your finest, most ridiculous green attire to show your support for celebrating while running.

What is going to happen is that we're going to go for a run, and then we're going to down a keg of green beer. Special dispensations apply on this day because it's such an important milestone in human civilization, so wear green! Hasherdashery is required as usual, but if you're green, we look the other way. It's sort of like green-screening!

So... everybody loves a parade. We're having one of those too.

...and Psy is going to be there:

along with Rob Ford as Grand Marshal:

and possibly a bit of free beer and false advertising. But there will be attempts, doubtless, at River-Dancing

like may or may not have happened at the last St Patrick's Day Parade Hash, which we can't forget soon enough.

So join us for a trail (hared by Noname LeJyBy, to be named at this very hash!) and indulge in the most Pythonesque après-ski  in town (hosted by a real live Irish barkeep).

The deets:

• What: Hash #170:
• When: Saturday March 14th, 2pm. (beat-the-heat time)
• Where: Flannery's Irish Geo-pub.
• How Much: 6000CLP for the Hash. Yes - it's more expensive than usual, but it's a whole keg, which will be divided among all comers (and hashers are all comers).

What to Bring:

• green - green hats, green clothes, green skin, green smiles
• cash
• your best & most lurid stories about LeJyBy

** For the uninitiated
We are a drinking group with a running problem. If that sounds a little de trop, don't worry. It is. We follow hashing traditions, singing songs, drinking beer, and following silly rules. We start with a ~7k run / 4k walk (your choice), then do our circly ritual (which may or may not happen this time), sing some ribald songs, and finally we relax, and eat a little. This time we're expecting 15-20 hashers. Come check it out, or join us next time, in 2 weeks.

Hash #169 - We meet again, Mr Bond!

Saturday Feb, 28th: It's the last day in February 3 out of every 4 years! Once again we find ourselves at the Black Rock Pub this coming Saturday, as it went so swimmingly last time. It's the 61st anniversary of the discovery of the double-helix by Crick & Watson, too, so there's that. Here's a little primer. There will be a quiz!

Also, there's the distinct possibility that the notorious Sir Ladybug will be paying us a visit. Until recently, Sir Ladybug held the dubious distinction of being the most dedicated hasher in Santiago, alas recently surpassed by Mariachi Mansterbtor and Sir Acting Semen. We meet again, Sir Ladybug.
