HISTORY:

Hashing started over 50 years ago in Kuala Lamper. It is based on the Old English Game, "HARES AND HOUNDS". Hashers (Harriers and Harriettes) take turns being "HARES" and they decide where to set a trail. The "HARES" lay the trail using dollops of flour and the rest of the group, HOUNDS", try to follow it. The idea is to keep the group together so there are False Trails and Loops to slow down the faster runners. You can run a little or a lot, jog slow, or even walk the trail.

WHEN YOU HEAR	IT MEANS:
ON ON!!	I'm ON TRAIL (or Flour)
ARE YOU??	I'm Lost
LOOKING/CHECKING	I'm Looking for Trail (Flour Dollops)
CHECK	True Trail goes in any direction.
BACK CHECK	The True Trail Branched off behind you.
BLOW JOB	False Trail. Go Back to the last Check.
TURTLE CHECK	Wait. Last hasher must find Trail.
BEER/WATER CHECK	STOP. Drink some Beer, Soda or Water
ON IN	HASH Running Over. Drink Beer. Eat Chips.
CIRCLE UP	FORM CIRCLE. Traditional Event Follows.
DOWN DOWN	CLUG-A-LUG a Beer/Soda/Water.
ON ON ON	After HASH. Real Food (Like Pizza Place).
