Keep Them Doggies Rollin' ~Raw Hide!

Another Hash and my time has finally come. Time for the "naming!" Every Hasher gets some sort of crazy moniker chosen by the group based on something you did, said, or some goofy person you look like. It is said that, " Being given a Hash name is the ultimate accolade in hashing and it is only done when enough is known about you and your failings. Hash names are not meant to be honorific; indeed they are invariably derogatory or humiliating." Some examples are: Highbeam, Skid Mark, Fig Jam, Double Entry, Call Girl, Ewe Trollop, etc.

Sometimes these things take time; the group needs to be inspired. After 5 months on the Alexandria Hash circuit - my time came. It's.....well if you want to know...just ask. Let's just say I told a story about an experience floating in the Dead Sea. Anyone who's ever been to the Dead Sea may be able to relate to my anecdote.


I was then "baptized" with my new name with the traditional water from the very clean, not parasite-infested, not disgustingly dirty Nile River. Just kidding, it's not really Nile water. Or is it?

"How does this thing work?" (in case you are wondering, his t-shirt says: "I support two teams: New Zealand, and anyone playing Australia!")
Is this someone's house?
Trail Blazing! *groan*

The cow says, "Moooooooo."

"I baptize thee........."
Such a motley crew!
