    Default Upstate House Hash Harriers

    http://upstatehashers.com/home


    Hashing . . . it's a mixture of athleticism and sociability, hedonism and hard work, a refreshing escape from the nine-to-five dweebs you're stuck with five days a week. Hashing is an exhilaratingly fun combination of running, orienteering, and partying, where bands of harriers and harriettes chase hares on eight-to-ten kilometer-long trails through town, country, and desert, all in search of exercise, camaraderie, and good times.

    Hashing began in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1938, when a group of British colonial officials and expatriates founded a running club called the Hash House Harriers. They named the group after their meeting place, the Selangor Club, nicknamed the "Hash House." Hash House Harrier runs were patterned after the traditional British paper chase. A "hare" was given a head start to blaze a trail, marking his devious way with shreds of paper, all the while pursued by a shouting pack of "harriers." Only the hare knew where he was going . . . the harriers followed his clues to stay on trail. Apart from the excitement of chasing the hare and solving the clues, reaching the end was its own reward . . . for there, thirsty harriers would find a tub of iced-down beer.


    Hashing hasn't strayed far from its Kuala Lumpur roots. A typical hash today is a loosely-organized group of 20-40 men and women who meet weekly or biweekly to chase the hare. We follow chalk, flour, or paper, and the trails are never boring . . . we run streets and back alleyways, but we also ford streams, climb fences, explore storm drains, and scale cliffs. And although some of today's health-conscious hashers may shun cold beer in favor of water or diet sodas, trail's end is still a celebration and a party.

    GOALS OF THE HASH
    . . . from the 1938 charter of the Kuala Lumpur Hash House Harriers
    To promote physical fitness among our members
    To get rid of weekend hangovers
    To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
    To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel

    WTF? I don't get some of this shit, chase a rabbit or track it, fuck I do that all the time, its called hunting cept I prefer walking after bird dogs. The ya'll got the Crossfit workouts, choppin, rolling, flipping, toting, climbing, swinging etc, we called that shit work when I was younger and got paid for it.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Be glad to, you got your own chainsaw and hand tools. And since ya'll want to pay for it bring your checkbook, I ain't lettin' ya'll tote, chop and split my logs and tractor tires for nothing. I will supply the nails for the hammer swing portion. How are you with a concrete com-a-long and a flat shovel?

    I gotta get my shop up and I'll let ya'll crossfit all you want putting up and lifting shit.
