HASH NAME Short Name

Reason For Name

4pac
I wore a Kangaroo outfit to the Easter hash (it should have been an Easter Bunny outfit, but Amazon let me down!) After the Hash, MotorX suggested that I use the pouch for sandwiches. I commented that it would be better suited for a 4 pack of beer.. and my name 4pac was born!
Agatha
His surname is Christie… A mystery indeed.

When registering for an African Hash Run, I was asked what my Hash name was. I answered, " I don't know" whereupon Angaze was registered, as it is Zulu for,' I don't know '.
Aqua
Not known.
AWOL
A while ago he was skiing with some Hash friends and met a 'sweet' lady at the bar early in the week. Apparently, his ski group didn't see him for the rest of their time there. He'd gone… AWOL.
Plod
She offered her slightly small shoes to Dunny, runs fast and she is associated with the police. Thus, Plod, is an ideal name.
Big and Bouncy
She's a slight and delicate lady.

BillyBullshit
Essentially, he's full of it. Just ask him any question.

DoorMatt
I think it has something to do with me regularly having to do my wife's shoe laces up for her, usually when caked in shiggy or worse. 
Dorothy
Because I turned up to my 4th Hash in my brand new bright red running shoes!
Dr. Pooh
I was going to have another name. For the naming ceremony,  I came prepared  with an old tee shirt  on underneath.  It had a picture  of Pooh bear in Dr Who's tardis, entitled Dr Pooh. On taking off my top exposing this,  before  being floured, the ceremony was emergency stopped as Dr Pooh would be a better  Hash name.
Dumb
See Dumber's naming information.
Dumber
Approx 35 years ago we started Hashing and Bashing, cycling to and round them on our tandem. Twin names for us were favoured and when Dumb and Dumber was released we were named. We spent years arguing between us about who was Dumber. It was finally settled on a bike ride near Rye. We cycled along Dumb Woman's Lane. So that made me the Dumb Woman and as always suspected, Ian is Dumber.

NonStick
Advised to take a stick to beat down nettles, NonStick duly did so. After 3 miles and no nettles he threw it away. 200 Yards on and he was in the thick of a patch of them. He was named NonStick because he didn't have one when he needed it.

Shitfor
He and Desperate were marshalling at the Shinfield 10k. He said he would kiss all Hashers who passed him during the race and duly did. The Hash consensus later was that he'd have to have sh*t for brains to want to do it.
Skinny Dipper Skinny or Dipper I was given my name on Lonely’s 60th birthday Hash from his house by the river. It was very hot and I mentioned how lovely it would be to go skinnydipping in the Thames. I did eventually live up to my name on a Hooray Henley Hash.

My Hash name Slackbladder originated from my FOTMHHH ( Friends of the Mole) name Blackadder. While competing in the Para 10 mile challenge, I had to visit the bushes for a leak. This was witnessed by a number of fellow FOTM HHH runners and the name has stuck for over 30 years!

It was conducted by Glittertits, and as I was about to be anointed as No Balls, a reference to my golfing prowess, I leant forward ready for the deluge of flour and beer and someone who shall remain nameless (Simple) shouted, "Call him Snowballs!". An uncalled for reference to my silver hair.

Twanky
I crew backstage at Amateur Dramatic societies, so naturally whoever named me thought it was only fitting to give me a Panto "name".
Utopia
