Test

If I've done this right, I should be able to create blogs directly through my e-mail (ooh, wow).
I can apparently send pictures too, but I have a feeling they will be (crappy) camera phone ones.
Quality pics and blog editing will just have to wait until I get computer access (which is complete ass, but what can I do?).
Sent from a stop light while getting snack bitch food for today's hash...

In the beginning...


...there was Gispert.


I (me, myself and I, to be precise) am the member of the Las Vegas Hash House Harriers (Viva, Las Vegas!), who is known as Alcoholiday (currently, as I've been known for having these things changed).

While I have only been hashing for the briefest period (menstral) of time (4 years this May), I believe I have found the missing piece of my life that I have wandered aimlessly searching for since grade school.

I seems strange, a straight (mostly-ish) A kid, didn't really drink 'til I was 25 (what a shocker: index/middle/pinky) should find himself most at home with "The Drinking Club With A Running Problem" but hey, these things happen (like death and taxes).

I could give a bunch of (useless) info about myself. How I grew up (5' 11.5"), who I hung around (Mario, Link and Squaresoft), my political views (I wear glasses) and what not, but if you're not in a coma (zzz) already, that would probably do it.

However, there's a point to all this (sharp, rusty) and that is I've decided to take a trip around the world. Simple, no? (yes?)

What in the hell does this have to do with hashing (you may or may not ask)? Well, luck has it that the Hash House Harriers are a global (dis)organization. Happily (re: drunken) galomphing across the globe since their start in 1938. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers#History

So, since I'm already going in that direction (Wagon's East! Starring: John Candy), why not turn my trek into a global hash? (rhetorical question)

Since the Internet (The Wired, The Interwebs, The World Wide Web, free music and porn) is also global, it seems like a novel (short story? epic poem?) idea to chronicle all the Hash House Harrier kennels I visit in this here web log (web+log-we=blog!).
