Humble Greetings,

First thing, Puff apologizes for the lateness of the announcement for the posting of the Hash Flash for Hash 565. It was not due to the emergence of our new website which is both a joyous as well as momentous occasion. As many of you have already noted, the ease of navigation and the information presented places Surf City near the top of the half-mind pile in my opinion. I have even taken note of the fact that Flashes, Trashes and other obscure paraphernalia I believed to be lost forever have been resurrected by our website constructors. The flip side is after reading one of Puff’s old Hash Trashes, I am reminded of what a dreary, verbose fool I was in my younger days.

The reason for my being late, so to speak, is the many cards, letters and dinner invitations Clucker Fucker and myself have received since the climax of Hash 565. Fulfilling the necessary obligations has kept us both obscenely busy until today. I have now put the finishing touches on the Flash and you will fine it available for your enjoyment. Also, thanks to our website constructors, you can see it all on our new website instead of traveling to Flickr.

This is for dBASED only, no one else need read it. dBASED, Clucker says that while she is both flattered and more than a little intrigued by your proposal, she feels she must respectfully refuse your kind offer of her first born.

I believe a brief recap is in order. It will not be extensive as I do not wish to make those of you that (foolishly) skipped this hash weep tears of regret.

Point A was Chili’s in the Capitola Mall. A large group of mortals assembled to see the pack off wishing them Happy Trails. The first check was at the end of the mall at Sears. Trail made a slight on-left to a check at the intersection of Capitola Road and 41st Avenue. Trail doubled-back along Capitola Road and soon crossed the street into the parking lot of Orchard Supply and crossed the parking lot to the 41st Avenue Playhouse and exited the parking lot on-left onto 38th Avenue. Trail proceeded across Brommer and made an on-right onto Garden Street. At the next street, Bulb Avenue, the caring hares laid their first check. True trail continued on Garden to Thompson and made and on-right bringing the happy pack back to Brommer when an on-left was required. Just prior to 30th Avenue, the merry pranksters turned the troops on-right into the parking lot for a large apartment complex which then turned on-left to 30th Avenue. At 30th, the gang was directed on-right and then came to Capitola Road again to discover the second and last check of the evening. Marker went across Capitola Road to the end of 30th, took a locals-only walkway to Axford Road. Once there, trail headed on-left to Catalina Drive and on-right there. A set of locals-only steps leads on-up to Gargano Street where a second locals-only walkway led the litter into Beer Check in Coffee Lane Park. Food and beer was provided for the pack beginning with FRB Dog Breath who was soon followed by dBASED. Puff laid trail on-in to Clucker’s house where she kindly allowed the mob to get in out of the rain and use her garage for Religion.

Religion. Broke Bench Mountain was elected mob-rule Religious Adviser and he immediately appointed Just Samantha as Beer Fairy. Both discharged their duties admirably though they both drank too much while doing so. Notable down-downs were: Spock Her for holding up Religion while she went to pee; TIMMY! who almost ran, head lowered into the rain, into a tree; Banana Basher for ratting him out; Clucker Fucker for having a completely-full recycling can with almost nothing but beer cans in it; Cum Lord as a backslider; Clucker again for prominently displaying a Star Wars Storm Trooper doll collection. Clucker’s Significant Other, Aaron, arrived home from work just in time to find his garage filled with drunks (including his girl-fiend) and was promptly awarded a down-down for allowing it to happen! The pack voted that trail has been so exquisite, on-on-on was not necessary.

On the third day of this month and for the second time in three weeks, TIMMY! will torture the troops as hare. He will begin his vicious attack upon our collective bodies from the Rush In on Knight Street. It’s right behind the Town Clock in case you’re new to the Cruz. As Banana Basher has finally done something for Surf City and raised a website of the highest quality, I no longer need include a link ushering you to the Hash Flash on Flickr. Those of us not computer geeks thank Banana for making a website so easy to navigate, not to mention chcoked full of useless, embarrassing information.

Oh, yeah. After giving it careful consideration, I, too, dBASED, think I should refuse the offer of your first born as did Clucker.

On-out,
Puff the Magic Drag Queen
