These are the poor hashers we convinced to wear the pants of responsibility this year.
This is unquestionably the most important position in the hash. The Beermeister has the heavy (burden) responsibility of making sure that the lifeblood of hashing (properly chilled, of course) is available at each and every trail. He keeps constant vigilance to find the cheapest spirits available, always has coolers in the automobile, cases of beer in his garage, and plastic cups stashed in every possible place. This job requires a strong back and a weak mind...reminds me of a novel I once read!
The Chairman of the Bored. The big cheese. The HMFIC. The guiding light, if you will. Gispert’s legacy. The GM is not simply a figure head for the hash, rather he personifies the hash’s character (or lack thereof). He leads with a dynamic strength that glues the entire organization (or does not). Both directly, and through the hash officers, he gives inspiration, direction, and blurry visions to all (who will listen). In real importance to the hash, this position is ranked somewhere up there with Hash Cash, RA, Haberdasher, Hare Raiser, and Beermeister.
Keepers of the Faith. Enforcers of the Scriptures. Conductors of Circle. These are the hashers who have seen the light (Bud Light, Natty Light, Beast Light… ) and can taste in their soul the true spirit of Hashing. The religious advisors spread the word, inspire the zest and zeal of the hash in all participants, and mismanage circle. Any hasher found transgressing the spirit of hashing is disciplined by the RA's. They are the keepers of the sacred Laws of Hashing and come up with sufficiently plausible lies to cover any situation. They also have the ability to summon the mythical Hash Attorney at whim.
The Hare Raiser ensures that some hare(s) for each hash is available and that the start location is known well in advance of hash day for publicity purposes. It is also the responsibility of the Hare Raiser to ensure that hares are properly trained in the art of laying thy trail, that standard marking conventions are observed, that virgin hares have veteran co-hares, and communicating the start location of the hash to the masses. If the Hare Raiser should fail to find a hare for the next hash the Hare Raiser gets stuck doing it. Poetic justice...it was an okay movie!
The beholder and the accountant of the hash funds. This person is accountable and dangerous. Someone needs to brag about the start of each hash begging for the monies. Someone has to keep track of what comes in and what goes out (just like in an adult education film) and who comes to trail. These generally unappreciated duties fall on the shoulders of the Hash Cash. This trustworthy soul must withstand the whining of the Hares who have overspent and the whimpering of those who forgot their fees. They also check PayPal. It is a thankless job sometimes. But, through the sounds of cash registers the job gets done!
This hasher is responsible for procuring, promoting, and selling hash gadgets, gizmos, accessories, sex toys, and items of hash apparel to the hash. Containers of undersized clothing and useless paraphernalia fill their car at every trail hoping an out-of-towner with money will show up and buy something. Haberdasher pimping their wares helps fund annual events...we also make money this way!
This position is a writer's wet dream. The On-Sec struggles with piles of hastily-scribbled check-in sheets, incomplete data from years of inebriated record keeping, and a never-ending lineup of wankers ready to argue about their trail counts. They may attempt to occasionally remind the RA's when wankers reach certain milestones or analversaries with the hash. They also are support the kennel by telling what happens in MM meetings...it is an odd position!
The people who capture for posterity all embarrassing hash moments in pictures. The hash flashes must have an acute sense of the absurd to know what to take photos of, and also a small degree of reliability to bring a camera, take pictures, and put only the finest thereof into the sacred photo album.
The Hash Scribe immortalizes the events of each hash into story, taking careful note of anything dumb or embarrassing their fellow hashers have done on trail... or just makes something up, and then posts the resulting Hash Trash for all to read. If you weren't there you'll never know how much is true.
This is a hasher who never lacks for a song suitable to the occasion. Her songs are risqué, lewd, and supremely vulgar. The Songmeister speaks with other hashers and hashes to acquire songs to add to thy sacred hash hymnals. The mission is to explore new tunes and new celebrations, to boldly go where no Songmeister has dared to go before...this likely a rip from Star Trek and it is fine!
This wanker is responsible for keeping the interwebs up-to-date with our current and upcoming events. If hash happens, and the info wasn't available at your fingertips, this is the person to be flogged and ostracized for lacking muster.
These wankers love to travel, and they spread lewd songs, debaucherous tales, news of up-cumming events, and/or hab from our hash to others, and bring back stories from their travels to tempt others to road whore. They also sneeze hash goodness for which there is no cure, but more hashing!
Mostly former Mismanagement, these wankers provide useful skills to the kennel when needed, but have no real responsibility.
