I was part of Nato Napels Hash House Harriers when we were overseas. I never liked running much, but my Dad did, so I hashed.
My Hash Handel is Moses, because on my second hash I fell in Lago Averno (note: in the Aneid this very lake is were Aneis vists the under world, sulfer fumes used to kill birds as they flew over) and was pulled out from the "reeds and rushes"
My Dad is Dudly Do Right, because he doesn't take part in some of the more vulger hash songs.
My sister is Greenhouse because on the Hat Hash (everyone wears a hat) she wore a shower cap and told some one it was like being in a greenhouse
My Mom is Sensa Nome (not spelled right) which is Italian for No Name, because she didn't do anything worth nameing her for.
My dog is the Hashing Beast 2, because he was the second dog in the hash, and because he barked at someones pet Tiger on a hash. My dog isn't very smart.
