How do I get to be a hasher with the Carolina Trash?
Show
up! (and don’t let us scare you away after the first time) Our members are
continually changing due to the nature of this great city (and FB). Regular
participation in our Sunday Hashes and other events will virtually guarantee
your membership with one of the most diverse, entertaining, and sometimes down
right obnoxious and disgusting crowd of beer drinkers with a running problem
that you will ever come across. Once a hasher, always a hasher.
Where can I find out where the hashes start?
You’re
here! Click on the CTrH3 Homepage link for the latest
information on current and upcoming events. Join
the CTrH3 Yahoogroup to get the latests info on the Trash and other
Trashable hashing events. If it’s not current enough you can
check the Fayetteville Observer Weekender Calendar or the Calendar in the
Sunday edition. You can also call or email one of our mismanagement on the Trash Roster.
Why should I hash with the Carolina Trash H3?
10.
If you’re going to r_n you should r_n for a purpose, there’s no better purpose
than BEER!
9. What else are you doing on a Sunday
afternoon that can taste so good and hurt so bad. (That doesn’t increase your
family size)
8. Those receive help whom help themselves. So
help yourself to BEER!
7. If you’re all alone and you want to
pound something, pound the pavement, and then pound some BEER!
6. We aid environmental conservation by
removing large portions of thorny underbrush, razor-grass, and swamp foliage
(all known as SHIGGY!) from the areas pristine pine forests!
5. We contribute greatly to the local
economy donating large sums of cash in return for ample supplies of CHIG AWAY,
OFF, BAND-AIDS, OINTMENT, ICE, soda, and BEER!
4. Our friends, neighbors, and families
tire quickly of us r_nning through every room of the house jumping over
furniture, bulling through closets and destroying ornamental shrubbery only to
stand defiantly on the porch afterward as if we conquered the world doing a
down-down with our preferred beverage.
3. Nothing cleans out the system better
than flushing out the bladder and breathing really hard. (Even better is the
occasional download on the trail or an unexpected projectile Down-Up right
after one too many Down-Downs)
2. Our program is better than any twelve-step program out there. How many steps
do you think is in a 3-5 Miler? And thanks to the occasional BEER NEAR no one
goes cold turkey.
And the #1 reason- BEER!
Who should Hash?
YOU
SHOULD! Generally this is an ADULT crowd of people that enjoy ADULT
camaraderie, ADULT humor, and ADULT beverages. But hey we just can’t take
ourselves THAT seriously. If you like a fun crowd, this is it. We’ll try not to
scare you to bad. By showing up you are responsible for the dumb shit that you
do.
What is?
DOWN-DOWN-
The act of quickly consuming your preferred beverage.
DOWN-UP- (or the REVERSE DOWN-DOWN)- The (usually) involuntary act of losing
your favorite beverage from the direction it came and usually much more quickly
than it went down-down.
ON-ON-
When you are (or think you are) following the true trail. Shouted by hashers
when on trail. Also signified by blowing whistles.
ON-ON-ON - A casual gathering following the conclusion of a Hash. Most often at
Fat Daddy’s.
HASH HYMN- Some of the most illustrious lyric and melody than man has ever
created. (There once was a man from Kent, whose …etc. etc.)
HASH HOUSE HARRIERS- Basically beer-drinkers with a r_nning problem and people
wanting to have a good time. For more info see the Trash
Links Page.
SHIGGY!- Anything that catches, cuts, trips, or generally sucks to r_n through.
Briars, swamps, creeks, razor-grass etc. It sucks so good and we like it!
What can I expect if I am brave (or stupid) enough to show
up?
Basically
be ready to meet some friendly, entertaining, extrovert, and just plain odd
people. We begin at a start point where the Hares take off 15 minutes before
the pack laying a trail with flour or chalk through the streets, woods, briars,
swamps, and creeks of Cumberland County. The pack then tries with varying
degrees of success to follow the trail left by the dubious Hares. What makes
this all worth the effort is BEER! (and soda). BEER at the start point, one or
more BEER STOPS on the trail, and BEER at the finish point. The ON-AFTER
usually involves FOOD and BEER! Bring a sense of humor, an appetite for your
favorite beverage, and possibly a change of clothes in a small bag. Don’t worry
about the r_nning part. FRB’s (Front R_nning Bastards) as well as walkers are
equally welcome. What’s important is getting off your lazy ass, having a good
time and meeting people.
