Captain Sumo's Greek-HHH Easter eggs
Later we followed the fine Greek tradition of bashing them together to see who's egg breaks and who's survives.

Run and Walk |
Fair Cop thinking about checking (or more likely about that Kokoretsi cooking on the BBQ)
while Mad Dog checks his GPS to see if any satellites are showing themselves at Easter
or if they all decided to have a lie-in.
Thrice Nightly is already feeling hungry and is considering chewing on a dead animal skeleton.
What fine specimens of athletic human beings
Watch out! Here they come!
If that's not real shiggy then what on earth is??
A favorite hash pastime in Greece - tortoise fondling
A good way to get wet trainers.
A well-deserved (OK maybe not) beer stop.
Careful Thrice Nightly! That's a loose stepping stone. CU Alithia gives encouragement.
Mad Dog jumps up and down to test if the bridge is safe. Is that stupid or what?
L-to-R: Teeny Boner, Mad Dog, Thrice Nightly, Fair Cop - all trying to impress the photographer Capt. Sumo.

Clitoria questions Ferret Blower - who has brought her daughter
and son-in-law to the hash.

Clitoria questions the hash virgins
Oooh!, aren't they bold??
Clitoria checks the hash virgin - she enjoys this bit
Look!, I'll show you says the visitor
Clitoria is taken by surprise
And again!
They drink to the hash virgin song
Clitoria is given a DIO for being embarrassed for the first time anyone can remember
CU Alithea gives Captain Sumo an award from our inaugral run in Lionethio
A golden goblet (sort-of)
Doggie Style & Rear Entry have their Name Days on Greek Easter Sunday
The
Easter Meal |
The lamb is cooking - being turned by the electric motor (which later fails)
The Greek country sausages are coming along nicely.
Now the sausages are ready to be handed round and eaten.
Rear Entry's Kokoretsi is ready to eat and so are the hashers
It's hard work getting the Kokoretsi off the Souvla and into the Tapsi
(Does that sound a little Greek?)
Hungry Hashers join the food line
Here we go! Spy Shagger helps to serve the guests.
Rear Entry's sister smiles for a photo
Teeny Boner is happy that the meal is finally ready.
The lamb is taking longer to cook than expected -
so rather than wait, the hashers get tucked-in to what is ready.
Coke Dealer wields her egg in an egg-cracking challenge
The electric motor for the spit has burnt-out and so Rear Entry has to turn the lamb by hand.
(Capt. Sumo and others took turns to turn later).
Capt. Sumo combines lamb turning with drinking
The lamb is now fully cooked and is taken down from the BBQ
The meat is carefully cut away from the main carcass
Spy Shagger (R) and her sister (L) pose by the BBQ
Dissecting the lamb is hard work for Rear Entry
Mad Dog & Doggy Style - with the first trayful of lamb
After eating, the hashers get down to more drinking and chatting
