HARE OF THE DOG: History, Humour and Hell-raising from the Hash House Harriers

Everything you’d rather not know about Hashing - ‘the drinking club
with a running problem’ ... and much, much less! The new Hash House Harriers Bible - the definitive history of Hash House Harriers - updated in 2018. (Only available in ebook format)

The Hash run laid through a Falkland Islands minefield. How Lt-Gen Gordon Bennett was evacuated by Hashers from Singapore. The Rome t-shirts blessed by the Pope. The entire pack lost in a Malaysian jungle overnight. The hares mortared in Yemen and shot by a drug-lord in Thailand. The Harriette who was married on the Hash and had a baby without missing a run. A Belgian’s fixation with anatomically correct rubber chickens. The PNG police with M16s escorting a Hash convoy. The Hashers who escaped the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. How Hashers get names like Hughie Blaaaaaaaargh, Dog Spunk Gozler, Mellow Foreskin Cheese and Grouchy Tiger Hidden Tampon. The waiter carrying a tea-tray in the Libyan desert. The Hash held at 39,000 feet over Europe. The Israeli beer check just outside Cairo. The Hashes who parachuted to the beer in Hong Kong. The dead Foreign Legionnaire given a 21-bum salute. The American Hasher who dragged his cryogenically frozen dog around on a skateboard.

The inside story of the Hashing experience from Alaska to Antarctica, Dubai to Dubbo, Helsinki to Hobart, Zagreb to Zimbabwe.

Who were the first Hashers to notch up 1,000 runs? What was the first Hash name? Whose arse was the first to sit on ice? How did the Red Dress run get started? Who were the first Harriettes? When was the first Hash shirt made? Who invented the word ‘shiggy’? And plenty more surprises featuring Bill Clinton, John Wayne Bobbit, the Sultan of Oman and the King of Tonga.

With Hashboy cartoons by Nut ’n’ Honey and Whack.
