11th Anal Toys for Tots/Green Dress Hash

The 11th anal Toys for Tots Green Dress Hash is now over and the assorted weirdos and miscreants who assembled for this august affair donated a total of 38 presents to the Toys for Tots campaign. In addition, through generous cash donations from NFHN Mike P. (dude, when are you actually going to run trail?) and our esteemed No Cocky Bukake, we also collected $60 to go to TforT. I added $40 from hash cash for a total of $100 for the kiddies.

Also, it should be noted, generous hashers donated a half-bottle of Polish vodka, $10 cash and a necklace(?) to the homeless. This fine gift was left outside his/her palatial cardboard condo beneath the Hollister Highway bridge. This spontaneous gift -- and the sacrifice of the spirts -- shows the true meaning of Xmas.

Thanks to all.

Also, proving the holiday spirt works both ways, the assorted hashers in attendance were somehow able to consume two kegs of Yuengling while running a particularly heinous 3-mile-or-so trail, as well as drink a fifth of Evan Williams egg nog, half of the fifth of the aforementioned Polish vodka, and an assortment of about 20 mini bottles containing assorted alcoholic beverages. This was in addition to candy canes, chocolates and other goodies. God bless you all and I hope you've sobered up by now.

Again, it was a merry, merry Xmas for the Upstate Hash House Harriers, and hopefully, for the kids we've helped.

Stay tuned, our only other charitable effort of the year -- the 11th annual Save the Ta-Tas Red Dress Run -- a benefit to prevent breast cancer will be held on or about Feb. 14, 2009. We have brand new challenges, features and more for this event.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled debauchery, such as the New Year's Day Hash on, of course, Jan. 1 and led by Needle Thruster.
