"In the morn’, picking through broken drinking vessels, and stumbling over half naked bodies of the hashers overcome by the sleep of hops, malt, yeast and water, what remained of the hash mismanagement looked forlornly to the horizon, searching for the Grandmaster who hath disappeared into the night like a very ghost, and awaiting the rise of the next man (or woman) foolish enough to take the reigns of this sorry group of wankers, sluts, *****mongers, and imbeciles."

"Globally the hash is aging. At the Interhash in Wales last summer, the average age was 47. That is only two points above the average hasher IQ. Can you picture 3,500 old farts doing the Red Dress Run? Not a pretty sight.

The Philippines has several active hashes, and they show this aging pattern. When the Americans pulled their military out of Clark Field (Air Force) and Subic Bay (Navy) in 1989, they left behind a legacy of bars, *****houses, and derelict retired military trash. This was fertile breeding ground for the Hash House Harriers, and today these groups thrive. The Angeles City HHH, outside the gates of Clark, gather at the Anchorage Inn in the sump of an infamous district of sixty girlie bars, for Thursday hikes out in the surrounding mountains, and on Sundays for runs. The hikes alternate weekly between short ones of one to two hours, and long ones of four to five hours. I did a long one with a group of seventeen - two Swiss, two Scots, two Brits, one Dane, one Japanese, and assorted local bargirls and girlfriends. They do an out and back course, and turn back whenever they feel like like. There is no circle afterwards but the Jeepney they hire stops on the way back for a beer or two at a roadside store before regrouping at the Anchorage Inn in the evening. The Sunday run is a regular hash followed by a traditional circle. Most of these hashers are too old and broken down to actually run. They get to start early and walk the course. They are called "cripples" and they show no shame.

The Angeles HHH is a "family hash" and behaves mostly decently, unlike the Olongapo HHH at Subic Bay. I cannot give you a first-hand report of their outrages, even if you are twenty-one, because I didn't do a run with them. It is speculated that some of their activities would appall even Swampy.

Five hours by road up the west coast of Luzon at La Union is another HHH composed of older expats, many with local wives and girlfriends.....
