Getting Lost along the Way

Written by eklastic

has never happened to any hasher ever. HA!

To be clear, I’m talking about hashers who run (or walk), members of the Hash House Harriers. Although we drudge through weeds, it’s got nothing to do with weed.

  2. They certainly look as though they’re lost. A good one for our Lost challenge, thank you.
    You lost me a little, as I’ve no idea what a Hasher is; you mentioned Hash House and Harrier, So presumably, a Hasher is someone named after the building. Harriers are hunting dogs and there are also birds known as harriers. So does this mean a Hasher is someone who kills animals? I’ should stop speculating and let you explain!

    1. I could just link the wikipedia article but here is the short version: The Hash House Harriers are a world wide organisation (organisation is debatable as the different kennels/chapters are very loosely connected, there is no membership in the traditional sense). Jokingly it is referred to as “a drinking club with a running problem”. We run (or walk), strictly non-competitively, following a pre-laid trail (similar to hares&hounds, hence the kennel reference). Before, during and afterwards we might consume beer (or whatever tickles your pallate) and sing rather rude songs. It was started in 1938 by British expats in Kuala Lumpur, and today there are about 1500 individual kennels all over the world. The original group used to meet in a cheep eating establishment, called the Hash House. Harriers is also another word for a cross country runner. No killing involved 😁
      If anybody wants to know more, wikipedia is a good start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers
