A Hash is Born - Santa Bastard H3
Raise a beverage to Santa Barbara's newest hash...drum roll please... t-t-t-t-rat-tat... weighing in at seven hashers and 24 PBR's... the Santa Bastard Hash House Harriers were born Wednesday, November 12, 2008.
There to witness the momentous occasion and name Santa Barbara's newest "drinking club with a running problem" were: Meatless Erection, Spotted Condom, Jolly, Land Ho, Poke Her, Where's My Waldo and Rub Her Dinghy.
Besides the name we worked out a few "standards" for the Santa Bastard Hash:
- SBH3 hash days will run every other Tuesday.
- The trails will (usually) be about 5K and hares out (hopefully) at 6:30.
- SBH3 will be a sitting circle hash, bring your chairs!
- SBH3 will have special hashes throughout the year such as the solstices, equinoxes, and a grunion run.
- Hashers will be thanked for cumming out to play with a ribbon, sash or bracelet awarded on the 5th, 10th, 25th SBH3 hash attended.
- Hares will be similarly recognized.
- Virgins Hash for free on their second hash.

- 1/16/2008
- SBH3's first naming of a hasher. DeLorean was so named because he was fast, agile and had a thing for the white powder. DeLorean is a dog that could not, would not leave the flour be.
