Shawn Watson-“TailGate” Switzerland p. 16 TailGate started hashing in 1988 in Bern, Switzerland where she’s been On-Sec, RA and is currently HashCash. Her 2nd Swiss home hash is BerZuBa where TG is a major player in mismanagement (there are only 2) and helps organize the annual Halloween weekend. After spending many years resisting the call of international hashing TailGate finally discovered how much fun it is and can certainly be found every year at Munich’s Oktoberfest Hash! Who can resist all that beer?
Deric Probst-Wallace “Haggis” Honkers P. 30 Haggis has Hashed in Asia for over 12 years and has run with every Hash in Hong Kong. Current Grand Master of the Blood Run Hash, Ex Hash Master of the Royal South Side Hash and Ex Assistant Grand Master of the Wanchai Hash, Haggis is happiest when ‘tail gating’ long haired, nubile, lycra clad Harriettes ……..……….. who isn’t?
Ann Smith -“Head Bone Handler” Memphis p. 26 Head Bone Handler started hashing in 2006, but to those who have had to put up with her, it seems like much longer. She is the head nurse of the bone marrow transplant unit at Baptist Hospital in Memphis. Head Bone Handler recently had to give up... beer. She brings her own hooch to the hash and is always up for a shot of liquor straight up or in jello. Head Bone has been instrumental in organizing and giving orders, and cooking to order, at such events as the Dead Elvis weekend and the Memphis-Music City Meet in the Middle.
rOB jAMES-”fORKY” Brunei p. 12 While traveling through Southeast Asia, Rob “Forky” James discovered the absurdities and wonders of the Hash while running with the P2H3 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Since, Forky has run (if you’re willing to use the term so liberally) with hashers in Europe and Asia. Originally from the US, Forky has lived in Italy and Africa, and he calls Bangkok his ‘current home away from home.’

These are exciting times for international hashing, full of outstanding events that offer a cornucopia of inviting destinations, both closer to home and around the globe. To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Harrier Magazine (formerly Asia-Pacific Harrier Magazine), we will publish a new monthly Digital Edition starting in August 2012. The new monthly Digital Edition will be published in addition to the quarterly print edition we have created for your reading pleasure for the last ten years. At the recent World Heritage Interhash in Borobudur, Java, some 4,700 attendees were treated to what many saw as the most spectacular display of venues, entertainment, trails, food, and organization the hash world has ever seen. This event certainly raises the bar as to what is possible at such mega gatherings. There is no shortage of controversy and international uproar resulting from the shameful saga of the previous Interhash in Kuching. See Garfield’s “Rape of International Hashing” for a perspective worth reading. In this edition of Harrier Magazine, we visit Hainan, the venue for Interhash 2014, the Vietnamese capital Hanoi, the Sultanate of Brunei, the Swiss Alps, and Memphis USA. Set your sites and make your plans to participate in some of the many HHH and running events in this edition of Harrier Magazine.
