Our Traditions

Rule #1: There are no rules.

We believe that hashing is supposed to be fun. We welcome anyone and everyone and will judge you only on your sense of humor.

There are no rules, because rules are set in stone. We have many traditions, because it's fun and connects us with our hasher brethren. If something stops being fun, fuck it.

 

That having been said

If you show up at a trail, you are likely to find:

  • Both runners and walkers
  • Shy people and (ahem) outgoing people
  • Extreme silliness whenever possible
  • A lack of drama
  • People calling each other by strange names
  • A one to 3 mile trail, depending on the whim of the hare & the relative humidity
  • Secret knowledge of all those weird white markings all over the road
  • Sand spurs and cactus - wear running shoes, just not new ones

Some other things to expect

  • After the trail, we hold the on-on celebration
  • There will be a circle, wherein various exploits on trail are recognized
  • You will probably be called into the circle
  • We will congratulate you with a filthy song
  • If you know any filthy songs, please feel free to share
  • We never sing the Speed Racer song
  • You will be instructed in the art of a down-down
  • Beer is often the beverage of choice, however...
  • You are free to consume whatever is in your vessel *
  • A very vocal minority believes that Gator Beer is the most perfect beverage ever
  • Variable bawdiness, with a 20% chance of boobs
  • Good times and something to talk about other than work

We rarely post the start for this week's trail more than 24 hours ahead of time. Sorry, we suck. If you are coming from out of town, email obxh3 @ yahoogroups.com or call Maybe at 252-599-2450 and leave a message.

Half Mind

Global Trash

or heck, why not

Wikipedia

 

Most hashes will have slightly different trail marks and traditions. Just remember, if you have half a mind to go hashing, that's all you need. It's free for virgins and if you don't have $5 after that, you can always hare. Or trade sexual favors. Whatever works.

 

 

 

* Due to something we like to call "DUI", we are very gentle with our down downs, except on special occasions, with crash space. <back>
