Lyrics

It’s a long way to Tipperrary, It’s a long way to go, It’s a long way to Tipperrary, I walked it, so I know, Good bye, Sticky Willie, Farewell, pubic hair, It’s a long way to Tipperrary, And I’ve never been there.

Note - the idea is to get the circle singing and marching while re- enacting Dunkirk. During the song various members act out pieces of the story while everyone else sings and marches. It helps if you’ve seen it performed before. Parts are:

Sperm in soldier’s ball bag Dog barking Cock crowing Distant marching (stamp feet) Sergeant shouting Luftenbastards attacking (several hashers wheel left in a circle shooting at everything with arms outstretched) Biggles and the R.A.F. (several hashers wheel right in a circle shooting at everything with hands around eyes to look like goggles) Anti-aircraft fire (several hashers raise arms and pom-pom fire)

GAMES (What to do when you want to get a bunch of hashers totally shitfaced)

Tap Tap Game: Everybody sits around a table with both hands on the table. Each person places his or her hands between the hands of the people sitting next to him, so that each person at the table has two strange hands in front of him. One person taps a hand, and tapping goes around the circle to the right, hand by hand. It may be your hand’s turn or someone else’s hand’s turn. It may seem like it ought to be your hand’s turn, but it’s hard to keep it straight. Anyway, tapping continues right around the circle until two people tap at once, at which point tapping reverses and goes to the left. The person who blew it chugs a beer, or maybe everyone in the circle chugs. One can see where this game is headed …

“What Is It” Game: Take any two different everyday objects and sit in a circle with at least seven or eight people. One person holds both objects (you, for example). You give one to the person on your right. You say, “This is a vibrator” (you can call the object whatever you want to call it - representational truth does not matter for the purposes of this game). The person on your right then asks “What is it?” You repeat, “This is a vibrator.” The person to your right hands the object to the person on his or her right, and says, “This is a vibrator” (don’t change the name). The person on his or her right asks, “What is it?” The person on your right turns back to you and asks, “What is it?” You say, “This is a vibrator.” The person on your right tells the person on his or her right, “This is a vibrator.” And the vibrator moves to the right around the circle in this manner, with the question “What is it?” always being relayed back to you, and your answer, “This is a vibrator” always being relayed forward to the next person to get it. Now, at the same time you started the “vibrator” around to the right, you handed the other object to the person on your left, saying “This is a dildo” (or whatever). This object moves around to the left while the other object moves around to the right, and it gets pretty hard to keep things straight when both objects pass on the far side of the circle.

The “Pink Thing” Game. Some hashes award a Pink Thing to hashers when they reach a specified number of runs, usually 25. The Haberdasher is responsible for having Pink Things made up (scarves, ribbons, hash bibs, whatever - as long as they’re pink). At the awarding ceremony, the Pink Thing is hidden somewhere in the clothing of a hasher of the opposite sex. The awardee then has to find and retrieve the pink thing - without using his or her hands.
