Whether you accidentally or purposely did it, you stumbled upon the website of the Biloxi Hash House Harriers. Biloxi is located in Harrison County on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Because of Keesler Air Force Base located in Biloxi, there is a good mix of military and civilian hashers from the coast that participate in the Biloxi Hash. The Biloxi Hash is part of a worldwide club call the Hash House Harriers, also known as a "Drinking Club With A Running Problem". We hash every other Saturday meeting at 1:00pm. Hares away at 1:30pm (if we are lucky) This is just a basic run-down of the Biloxi Hash.
What is Hashing?
Let's get one thing out of the way first - it ain't about drugs, but beer and alcohol, that's another story! Here is some quick info on the hash, for more depth info, check out the virgin's page.
The Hash House Harriers as we know it today was founded in Malaya (now Malaysia) in 1938 by Albert Stephen Ignatius Gispert (commonly referred to simply as "G"), an English chartered accountant. The philosophy of the original Hash House Harriers from the 1938 charter and what many Hash House Harriers still follow is:
"HASHING is a state of mind...
...a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting the fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor. College professors or students, colonels or privates, managers or assembly line workers, doctors or plumbers... all are gathered together without concern for social status or education. They are gathered for the sport and the camaraderie and take on a new personality, for they are now...
...HASHERS"
