BAH3-isms

Every hash is unique. This is a *working* list of the way BAH3 usually does things. I say "usually" because there are no hard and fast rules in the hash.

• We love shiggy. The more the better, a little blood on trail never hurt, I mean, killed anyone
• We love good beer. Quailty micro-brews and imports are king at BAH3, no pee colored beer. The exception being down-down beer which of course is Natty Boh.
• We don't blow. To announce that you are on trail periodically yell "ON ON", no whistles. We are usually hung-over and the whistles hurt.
• Bring your own mug. No need to add more red plastic cups to the land fills. On some trails we'll even haul your cup to the beer-check.
• We mostly lay dead trails with 1 or 2 beer checks, but an occassianal live trail is thrown in to keep things lively.
• We don't sing Father Abraham before the trail or end circle with Swing Low. I'm not sure why we don't and for that matter, not sure why other hashes do.
• We violate in groups. Unless your trail crime is particularly heinous, we bring in several violatees at once so circle doesn't go on all night.
• We name when we're ready. It could be your 1st hash (if you did something really dumb) or 20th because we finally found that special name for you.
• We accomodate runners and walkers of all abilities. The accomodations may be a brick for the FRB to carry or shortcuts so the walkers finish with the runners.
• Trails are frequently dog friendly. When they are not, the hare usually makes it clear in the hareline.
• Drinking alcohol is not required, don't feel pressured. If you are violated, it is perfectly acceptable to request a "stunt liver" to drink your down-down. This isn't really a BAH3-ism, but it isn't stated elsewhere. (On a related note, hashers are more interesting/better looking when you're buzzed)
• Tell the RA about naming ideas and violations before you forget
• Trail is sometimes kid-friendly, the circle never is. Please be prepared to migrate your child out of earshot when circle begins. You can tell hashes to use nice language in circle, but it rarely works that way.
• Trail setting. Check out the Hare Manual
• We don't track how many trails you've hashed, but we do track how many you've hared.
• In the winter when it gets dark early we send the pack away at 3:01 PM. In the summer it's a bit looser and we send the pack off at 3:00 pm HST (Hash Standard Time) which means anywhere from 3:01pm to 3:15pm.

History

The omnipotent hash powers of the time created the Annapolis hash in April in year 48 of the hash (being 48 years after the first run of the Kuala Lumpur Hash - that would make the year 1986 for those being mathematically declined) and the Baltimore hash in June in year 52 of the hash (1990).

The co-founders of the Annapolis hash were Marty (Mad Dog) Cover and Dolph (Double D) Diemeont. The co-founders of the Baltimore hash were Elaine (Swamp Bitch) Davis and Ariel (Areola) Ortegon.

The powers and commoners alike saw this, and thought it was good, and there was much rejoicing (and then they ate Sir Robin's Minstrel).

The Annapolis Hash ran on alternating Sundays in the cold-ass months and on Wednesdays in the hot-ass months of Maryland. The Baltimore Hash ran on alternating Sundays year round.

In the year 56 of our hash (1994), in the merry merry month of May, the Baltimore and Annapolis hashes were combined under the leadership of Pat (Hangman) Lynch (the Grand Master of both the Baltimore and the Annapolis Hash at the time) to create what would be come known as the Baltimore-Annapolis Hash House Harriers. And again the powers and commoners alike saw this and thought it was good (or at least most of them), and there was much rejoicing (and drinking, running, celebrating, fornicating and all the other things we do when we rejoice). The new hash was to run on Sunday (everyone Sunday instead of alternating ones) from thenceforth. To fill the emptiness created by the lost alternating Wednesday night hash of the Annapolis Hash, the Maryland Dirt Road Hash was spontaneously formed to provide the hash an outlet and prevent pent-up hash frustrations.
