Half-Mind Rant


An Ode to the Harriettes...

by Obeastiologist

I haven't been single in a long time. But when I was I knew only one thing; a single guy in a bar had the following working against you. Walking into that bar on Saturday Night you were labeled a creep by every girl in there. Your goal was two-fold: find a girl who likes creeps or convince one that you're not a creep.

This can be difficult when the only thing this girl knows about you is that you are out on the prowl in a shady bar on a Saturday night. She knows that you are wreaking of cheap cologne and that you and your frat boy buddies are completely wasted and have drunk enough to kill a small horse. Oh, and she also knows you can't dance for shit. So, how do you convince this girl that you aren't a creep? There are tons of theories and methods that are beyond the scope of this rant. However, how does the Hash change all this? The only thing Harriettes really know about you is that you like to Hash, wear stupid tee-shirts, sing dirty songs and that occasionally you can be clever in the circle.

You'd think that Hashers would have the same obstacles to overcome as do normal single guys, yet I've heard hooking up at the Hash likened to shooting fish in a barrel. So what is it? Why don't we have to spend tons of effort convincing these ladies of the Hash that we are something special that we really aren't. The answer is of course open to debate, but for my money I'll say that Harriettes are the highest caliber of woman on the planet. Since I've been hashing; I can't tolerate non-Hasher women for more than 30 seconds (before I was Hashing I could tolerate them for about 5 minutes.)

This isn't sarcastic - I'm really saying something nice in this rant. To the Harriettes... you guys (gals) not only tolerate some of the most debaucherous, lecherous, sarcastic pains in the asses around; for some reason you actually like us. Thank you, please don't leave.

Obeastiologist!

On-On!
