Hashfest

HOT SPRINGS—I was out for a total 42:58 with the Hash at Hashfest today, beginning at about noon. The trip was three hours of enormous fun, one of my favorite Hash experiences.

OVERHEARD
"I was going to move to Canada, but when I really started looking at it, I realized there was no way I could live in a country that allows, indeed embraces, crappy twelve-man semi-professional football."
—Pete in a conversation with B.J.

"You know, I can't figure out why Mike Pence was so surprised that he got lectured by the cast of Hamilton. I mean, lord knows, if you're trying to hide that you're a homophobic racist, the last place on earth you should go is to a fucking theater production."
—Pete in a conversation with Turd, though he truly does understand why the cast of a Broadway play might be concerned about Pence's record concerning gay rights. Truly, Pence should not have been surprised. On the other hand, to lecture a man with Pence's track record when he appears at a Broadway play is the same as publicly lecturing a liberal gay-rights advocate who shows up at the Forge or the Levy First Baptist Church. It's no way to win anyone over and will more likely steel their resolve against your causes
