A Thrown-From-The-Hip Tuesday Christmas Caroling Hash
Hare: No Blow (with help from Momma, Toys in the Drawer, Sunk'n Shit, Cooter Pie, and Divide My Pi)
Hounds: Blow Jack, Bone My Ass, Coocoo For Coconuts, Cooter Pie, Gucking Foofy, I Wear Short Shorts, Momma, Old Ironside, Paid to Lay, Richard Pierce, Shit Dickler, Skinamax, Sunk'n Shit, Teddy Foreskin, Toys in the Drawer, Waayyy Beyond Gay, Just Jack, and Virgin Matt
Divide My Pi was the person who suggested we carol around No Blow's neighborhood on this eve of Christmas Eve, but she didn't bother to show up. Luckily, Momma had a few carols, and Paid to Lay was a carrier for the carols Pi would have brought. We all know Pi was truly sick ... She never misses one of these holiday hashes. Get better, Pi!
No Blow had put up a sign at the mail boxes asking people who really wanted carolers to come by their homes to call him. He also put up a sign asking people who really didn't want carolers to come by their homes to call him. One person from each category called ... One lady wanted to let us know she would be out of the house and to leave it alone, and one young lady (She was ten years old) wanted us to bless her with our good cheer (Poor kid didn't know what was about to destroy her idea of Christmas!).
Trail simply went down and around through the neighborhood to the house of the request. Many of the carolers carried frog candles, lyrics, mugs of beer, and/or mugs of Baileys enhanced hot chocolate. The carolers basically learned that, except for Coconuts, this group lacked any talent. However, the group made up with their lack of talent with a great deal of enthusiasm. This group had more than its share of baritones and bass singers. Teddy was the only caroler who actually sang his deep part correctly (Elvis was not sure whether or not to roll over in his grave). After torturing/entertaining the first house, we directly hit three more homes (Some homes probably got some stray residue). One house had a teacher who loved us (No Blow taught her algebra ten years ago), one house had a couple about to hit the sack who suggested we not sing any more, and the third house had a neighbor, Mike, who invited us over. For this guy, we altered "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". In place of, "Bring us some figgy pudding," we put, "Bring us a mug of beer." You see, he recently installed a beer keg in his old fridge and suggested we stop buy for re-fills. He was gracious and filled us up before we returned to the start for circle and food. Unfortunately, someone made the mistake of telling Mike we had a fire brewing in the back yard of the end house (His son, who is seven, overheard. Mike, the keg guy, had to fend off numerous requests by his son and daughter to go see the fire. "No, you may not go hang out with people who drink beer, do not sing well, and really scare me." Thanks, Mike!
In circle, a bunch of down-downs occurred, but the only two I believe are worthy of note belonged to Matt and Toys in the Drawer. Matt was Richard Pierce's Virgin and seemed to fit in quite well, and Toys in the Drawer had been asking us for something to blow ... After Teddy's surgery, he has not been an option. Since it was her 25th running with the Daytona Beach Hash House Harriers, we blessed her with her very own whistle. She, in turn, blessed us after circle with an amazing dish of sausage and Sauer kraut. Cooter brought some desert, Sunk'n brought cider, and Momma made delicious chili.
Take care and Happy Holidays!

PS #1 Coconuts gives a mean massage and cracks a great back ... She also looks good riding Momma.
PS #2 Did anyone else notice the Foofy and Bone disappeared rather quickly after the festivities ended?
PS #3 Jack is cool guy. We enjoy his company.
PS #4 What the heck is figgy pudding, and why would carolers assume random people in random houses would have so much of it that the carolers would threaten to not leave until they got some?
