My father was from Berlin, Germany, and loved the Rhine River, but his country not quite enough to stay. He took me on a Rhine cruise to Boppard when I was 10 years old. I learned the story of the siren Lorelei, who would sit on the dangerous rocks combing her beautiful hair and lure fishermen to their watery deaths. Maybe I should have learned a lesson about women from that! My father always used to sing the chorus of this song as we drove over the Cape Cod Canal -- O Du Wunderschöner Deutscher Rhein:
O du wunderschöner deutscher Rhein,
Du sollst ewig Deutschlands Zierde sein.
O du wunderschöner deutscher Rhein,
Du sollst ewig Deutschlands Zierde sein.
I sat on the Rhine and looked into the waves,
The flood seemed to me to be a fairy kingdom
because suddenly the choir of angels sounded
very quietly up to me,
intoxicated with happiness, I listened
the mermaid's sweet choir.
Refrain:
O you beautiful German Rhine,
You shall forever be Germany's adornment.
A girl soon came up in the boat,
only Lorelei was so beautiful.
She then sat down next to me
in the evening sunlight,
of ancient times and glory
we sang over fine wine: O you beautiful German Rhine
But when I looked the lovely person in the eye,
there it was, alas, very soon about the heart.
I swore to the maiden in bliss
eternal love and faithfulness,
she sank into my chest with pleasure,
united we sang again: O you beautiful German Rhine

A young German woman once told me the song is no longer allowed in her country because it's too German.

The Hash
We arrived at a semi-sheltered run site, which was the same as the last German run. There were slightly less decorations and hostesses, but we got one banner. We're also given two free history lessons as printouts taped to a column of the building. One about the Trabant car which was made from 1957 to 1990. That must have been the most amazing car that Germany ever produced. Good to know! We were also informed about the Berlin Wall (a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989) which was called the "Anti-fascist Protection Rampart" in the East. It's good to know which side "anti-fascists" are on at all times. One hopes that the Hares are not too much in favor of collectivist oppressive regimes.
The run was very pleasant and bucolic. There were some areas of very three-dimensional paths with rivers and jungles and bamboo and all kinds of vegetation above below and beside us. I really like those kinds of trails as opposed to just walking down a road somewhere.
We got splendid German food under the shelter of the shed. Barbecued sausage and some ethnic potato dishes. There was also supposed to be some leftover food from a previous local Hash. I'm not quite sure what it was.
There was a slight drizzle and a lot of mud at the circle. What follows is a stream of consciousness as the fluids mingled:
Run disgusting:
"Wonderful" wunderschöner . "Lovely, muddy". "Good". "So lost!"
"Nice area". "Good but petered off, had a bad fall". "Hashers need to know how to call 'On on!'".
"Farmer was not happy". Why? The check was at the cows. "1,000 checks". "Irate farmer". "Check upon check". "Disgusting behavior from the hares".
We played Hash lotto.
Beer token finders all got a German beer prize! Extra special.
The Wizard takes it like a man.
Rain and farmer ruin the hairs plants.
Crazy German gets Hash Shit
Sour Kraut Bone Collector, French Kiss sell haberdashery, Hash fashion. Received the Emperor Airhead Hash Family Award.
EA awards: Liberace and Nurse Nancy introduced. Festering Fish Face comes out of his shell. Knickerless gets a 50 run shirt. Sperm Polluter gets 10 hares. Casper gets 5 hares.
Anchan gets divirginized. Knickerless lost the Wanker of the Week prize. We hope she didn't use it to stir her pot. Phuket Hash visitors were interrogated. Lord Chicken Fucker will be the next Hare. Spastic Whore King broke his spleen while falling in a hole while reconnoitering. a traumatic story but they say he will survive. Ging Gang Goollies was recognized for his virgin but she sat the whole time! The Wizard lost his sausage bowl, disappointingly. Fuck Off did, or didn't, do something. Mr. Bean won Hash Trash for claiming that an extra large used condom was his; there was no Cinderella-like fitting, fortunately. Lord Chicken Fucker
Told us everything. Did I miss anything?
"Me No Likey British Soldier" was the song of the week.
Lyrics:
Yankee call me honey baby
Blitish call me flucking whore
Me no likey Blitish soldier
Yankee pay 5 dollars more
CHORUS
Me no likey Blitish soldier
Me no likey men of war
Me no likey Blitish soldier
Yankee pay 5 dollars more
Yankee leaving on next friday
Blitish stay for evermore.
Me no likey Blitish soldier
Yankee pay 5 dollars more...
Hash hymn.
On-after was at Buffalo Bar with more delicious food.
On-On! Mr Bean
