10 YEARS OF HASHING!? Holy shit! My hashing story is basically a Hallmark movie, only slightly less dramatic. If I suddenly die, then it’ll really be a Hallmark movie, but hopefully, that doesn’t happen… at least for a few more years. I have shit to do.
Here’s my hashing story — After traveling for a year across the country with my sister, we heard about hashing. Unfortunately, we never tried hashing on the road. After moving back to PGH, I decided to go to one of the trails while my sister was visiting. It was a Cream of Mushroom Trail on December 28, 2012. Fool Moon the day after fresh snow. It was freezing cold and a perfect night to hash. My sister, “Golden,” had been hashing in Pheonix, so she wasn’t a virgin. We showed up to the start of the trail early, but no one was there, so we found a local bar in Mount Oliver to stop and grab a beer… we went into Moinks on Brownsville Rd., and the music literally stopped when we walked in. So we played it cool, grabbed a six-pack, and quickly ran back into our car to drink before the start.
The trail started, and we ran through the woods, we drank spiked hot cocoa on trail, and I fell on the ice after accidentally following someone named Peedom the wrong way through some school. Trail finished with circle in Moon’s basement. I quickly got drunk as I kept wearing my hat in circle. Strip flippy cup started, and after a while, my sister (who was driving) wanted to continue the party back in Millvale, so she invited this Defender of Peedom character who was chatting me up to come with us along with Mushroom and a couple of other hashers. The rest of the night is pretty blurry…
Almost everyone in the hash had warned me about Peedom, but 10 years later, this Defender of Peedrom & I are somehow making it work. We are married (on a fool moon) and have 2 beautiful but completely insane kids. I’ve been involved in starting two new PGH kennels, traveled in Europe hashing, in various US cities, and on our honeymoon in Hawaii. Our first child was even conceived at an interhash. All of this amazing life is thanks to one drunken night in Mount Oliver.
So join me in celebrating me and my 10 years and if you have a virgin to bring this is a good trail! Time to create your own destiny! Mount Oliver… where all your dreams come true!
Trail will be mercifully short. It will also be cold, dark, and snowy, so dress appropriately and bring a light source. For the after party Moon has promised dancing, black lights, disco balls, foam, stripper poles, and a naked woman crashing into a gas station. Actually, he only mentioned having a party at his house with a black light, and I might have made up the rest. It’s going to be a good time.
