Other Area Hashes
Atlanta is a city blessed (or cursed, depends who's neighborhood
we're hashing in!) with many hash groups! This gives us excuse to
run and drink nearly every day. Some people hash with only one group,
others with many. All groups are friendly and we all get a lot of
both visitors and virgins. (A.K.A. first timers. Don't get yer hopes
up, Hoss.)
If you are planning to visit Atlanta, please phone the TWO hare-lines
at (770) 455-6952 (ext. 1 for AH4) or 404-320-3032 (for Pine Lake
and the rest of the rabble). You will be prompted for an appropriate
voice-mail box. The various hashes and their mailbox extension
are listed below the calendar, along with web pages where available.
This hash also runs on Saturdays but at 2:30pm, for those of you
too slack to get out of bed in time to do AH4. It used to be that
they had woodsier trails, and AH4 tended to stick to the roads,
but that is no longer the case, as AH4 seems to have the more scenic
trails. But, PH3 does have better beer; you just have to hang out
with them to drink it. Them's the breaks, Bud. Sometimes live trails,
but mostly dead. Has been known to confuse short cutters from AH4
who have shown up at their ON IN by mistake. There's a bit of a
rivalry between PH3 and AH4, as they spun off from us (SPLITTERS!!).
You'll hear them give us crap about beer in cans, and you'll hear
AH4 wankers bitching about them doing the bottled beer thing, which
requires a bottle opener, is a pain to recycle, and cost more money.
(AH4 hashers are keen on the "buzz per dollar" thing,
you see...)
This hash forms every other Sunday at 1:30pm, with the hare(s)
off at 2:00pm. Founded by the illustrious Norfucker in 1991. This
is ALWAYS a LIVE HARE and almost always off road. You will get wet
and muddy and enjoy the hell out of it. This is the hash with a
formal circle, blocks of ice for the hares and summary down downs
for all kinds of infractions. Wimps need not apply. Not for little
kids, nor for those on their last pint of blood, as you WILL get
cut from briars, prickers, etc. If you've done any hashes with the
military kennels, you'll feel right at home.
We'll not even go into what the 17 H's stand
for. Only the Original Dominatrix ( Dr. Crotchrot)
seems to know, or care, for that matter. Think
of it as the antimatter version of Black Sheep.
During the warm months, this hash forms every Sunday. When it gets cold, this hash forms every other Sunday on Black
Sheep's off week. They also form at 1:30pm
with hounds waddling off at 2:00pm. The SOB's
take great pride in more beer per mile. Mandatory
Beer Stops and a rule from founder TWO TRIP
that "no trail couldn't be improved by
cutting it in half " assure that Trails
RARELY exceed 3 miles and are almost always
walker/baby stroller/dog /HANGOVER friendly.Very
mild overall, but still fun.
Also known as the S.L.U.T. Hash - Similar to the S.O.B. hash,
as they're both slow, but a heap of fun. This hash was founded
in March,
2001 by MC Hasher and Dr. Doo Doo. who are both slow, but a heap
of fun. The cool thing with this one, is that you almost always
get a yummy meal that the end - but sometimes you get hot dogs
- life is an adventure, bucko...
Here is MC's vivid description of their "baby":
Are You a S.L.U.T.?
"Life Ain't No Road Race"
* Always between 2.5 and 3.5 miles.
* Bottled and canned beer.
* Always at least one beer stop.
* Shiggy good, road bad.
* Nobody leaves a beer stop before the DFL arrives.
* You get beer and cheap grub at the end.
* House ending.
The SLUT Hash House Harriers meet at 7:00PM on the FIRST Thursday
of the month in Atlanta, Georgia (404) 377-2888, x3.
This one about as extreme as the Black Sheep are. Always live and
a sister hash to the Samurai Hash in Japan. Hash forms Friday evening
at 7:00pm, hares off sometime thereafter. This hash usually hashes
on the south side of Atlanta, vicinity of Hartsfield International
and south. There is shiggy everywhere and the area is rife with
great trails, briars, plenty of swamp and all those things that
make hashing special. Virgins have to down a WARM NON-ALCOHOLIC
BEER!!! Usually a small pack, but always hardcore!
Here's a pretty simple concept, even for
half-minds:
Two beer stops over two miles for two dollars per mile on the 2nd
Tuesday
evening of each month. Hounds meet at 7pm, hare off at
7:20, unless otherwise stated on the T4TH3
website or on the hareline.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all about hashing...we give it to you on a bike! The Wheelhoppers ride TWICE a month, on the third and fourth Sundays. The third is usually an offroad (yes, you need a mountain bike!) trail, and the fourth is usually an urban (or suburban) assault (you can probably get away with a hybrid). Down Downs are done from the top of a stationary bike.
You drink while you peddle. We like this one, because they make
a normal running hash, well, seem normal. Oh yeah, and they have been doing this insaneness since 1992.
This hash forms Monday nights at 7:00pm, with hounds departing
shortly. Always fun and a great way to overcome those Monday Blahs.
Usually an intown venue and normally an end where food and beer
can be obtained. During Daylight Savings Time you'll actually be
able to see what you trip over - bring a flashlight in the winter!
A personal favorite and highly recommended. Many times the hashes
are "Free" but you're on your own at the On-In, so bring
enough $$ to make yourself happy. (Bring more if you wanna make
someone else happy!!)
Atlanta Full/Blue Moon (770) 455-6952.
If the Moon is waxing large, it's time for another Full Moon hash.
The least formal organization (none) of all the hash groups and
a predictably good time. The current hares pick the following month's
hares at the Down-Downs. Lazy folks might want to hit the bathroom
at the moment of truth. Still, it is interesting, as people who
would NEVER lay trail together often get stuck together. Be sure
to check on a weekly basis, as this is the number to call to find
out where Friday Nite Happy Hour is going to be!
George's Tavern -
While not strictly a hash event, the Wednesday Night Run that starts
near the intersection of Virginia Ave. and North Highland Ave. is
usually attended by at least 60 or 70 people who run various routes
and all end up together to drink beer and carouse. Starts at 7:00PM
rain or shine. Not all who show up are hashers, though, for reasons
that baffle us, it seems that some people actually like to run,
and then they leave. Perhaps they are living double lives? We just
don't know. If you listen closely you can still hear the ghost of
Wilma muttering something about going on a tequila crawl.
Great Southern Leap Year H4 - Hashes every February 29th.
If you get 100 hashes under your belt, they'll give you your own
Rocket Ship. Next trail will be set by "Marty Byrne".
Marty goes by his nerd name, since the GSLYH4 has only done 4 hashes
so far. He's looking forward to number five so he can get a name.
Like, Can't Score, or something!
