Hash House and circle up. Welcome to On On, the Hash House Harrier podcast for interviews, history, and stories. I'm your host, Ra

Ra: Today on the podcast we're in Heidelberg, Germany with a relatively new hasher who has founded a hash which has some unique things to it that runs all over the world on different continents even. It's a new thing. So we like new ideas, and we like people who travel. If you've been traveling recently, you may have bumped into her.

She seems to be everywhere. Welcome today on the podcast, Squirrel Style. Hi.

Squirrel Style: Thank you so much, Ra. I'm really, I'm highly honored to be here, and I'd like to start in maybe a bit unusual way, just the way I am, by singing a song that I, actually created. Titumium, here they go again. My, my, what a pair of fit tits.

Titumium, how they show again. My, my, circle loves to see tits. Yes, they jiggle this way. Show your tits the hash way. Yeah, beer and tits will rule the day. Titumium, now we sing and cheer. My, my, flash the tits and drink some beer.

Ra: Yeah. How long has that song been around? I think that's gonna be popular

people-

Squirrel Style: Not long. Not long. I think it's, just a few months actually. Very cool. That's a kind of a hymn for fit tits, obviously.

Ra: We'll talk about that new club that you created, and it seems to be getting lots of runs in this year. Let's start with, though, your hashing origin story. When, where, and how did you get to your first hash?

Squirrel Style: as you said correctly, I haven't been hashing for a very long time. , My first hash was, in November 2019 in Munich, my ex-boyfriend invited me to join him because his colleague, yeah, just said, "Have a look," that's, Last Cock Standing, Munich hasher from Australia. And, yeah, that's how I ended up there.

Still remember that one very well because it was rather shocking for me. I never heard of hashing before in my life. And, Half Monty was the hare and he was late. We waited for him more than I think 20 minutes or so. So I had time to get to know other hashers. And the first hasher I met in my life was, a beautiful lady, Indian lady who just came to visit us from Stuttgart, and whose name is, Reason to Be a Gay.

Ra: Nice. Was Bird Brian in there? I just saw Bird Brian who was back in Toronto from Munich. He's been in Munich for about 10 or 15 years. Do you know Bird Brian?

Squirrel Style: Of course I know him very well. We hared many times together and he's like soul together with Bottom Blower. he's the soul. And, also recently, Mother Fucking Theresa, she's a GM.

she was actually our , religious advisor on that hash when I appeared for the first time. I heard all these different names and then when they asked me to introduce myself, then I said, "Hello, I'm Sunshine."

And she was just shocked, "What? That's your hash name? It cannot be." And then I figured out, okay, I got something wrong. It cannot be, right? Yeah.

Ra: that's great. let's talk about that first hash a little bit. That's not that recent. That was seven years ago . you waited for the hare for 20 minutes.

what was the trail like? How many people were there? And you said it was shocking. What do you remember?

Squirrel Style: I don't remember the trail so much. I know where it was because everything was new to me. the shocking was obviously the songs. I come from rather conservative family, and also live in rather conservative Bavaria.

singing about necrophilia and incest, things like that was obviously a huge cultural shock for me. but what I remember well was my first Down Down. I got a Down Down because I was introduced to hash for the first time, and they explained me the checks and so on, and I took so many falsies that day, first time hashing ever, and I took more falsies, I think, than experienced hashers.

yeah, there was a bit surprise with my behavior.

Ra: Were you a runner? Were you front running

Squirrel Style: Yes. yes. I… So that's something also I wanted to talk about because, I'm in love, and, my boyfriend is also a hasher. and I met him, on hash event, and that's how we met because we're both, front running bastards.

it was,on the kilometer 22 when we started n- noticing each other because we were both, checking and taking all the falsies. So yeah, he started talking to me. It was in Denmark last Christmas hash. Just the advice- … for the girls, if you want to get, good runners, then you have to run yourself.

Ra: . Yeah. Nothing much happens in the first 20K. It's after that. all right. – You do know the name we have for people who met their other significant other on the hash, so you're a bottom-feeder now.

Squirrel Style: Yeah, I heard that in Indonesia when you, talked about that.

so also relationship's very important. it's so important for hash, for a hash family, all kind of relationships, like from one-night stands, through orgies, up to , the families so to say. I went to a family hash. There is really a hash where they don't use any swear words or anything.

They just have one song. It's a clear one so there is everything in between, including long relationships like the one, Mary Calkins and Bubbles, and other couples as you said. So yeah, I hope I'm going to be in the road together with all these guys.

Ra: You mentioned a couple people that we saw in May.

If some people were at Andrew Hash, Mary Calkins ended up in the hospital from the Ballbuster Run for they … She kinda got dehydrated. she's all okay and everything.

Squirrel Style: I just hashed with her this weekend, and we were all … We also took Ballbusters and it was crazy. It was really crazy in the mountains because, we went through water, we went through, all kind of thorns, and we just had to help each other, but we ran together for a while, yeah.

She's a good runner.

Ra: often I ask people that been hashing in a relationship for a while, there are people whose partner doesn't go hashing with them. Do you think hashing is good for relationships, and are relationships good for hashing?

Squirrel Style: I think hashing is only possible a good relationship only with another hasher.

if I'm away, and I'm away every weekend and summer holiday, right? And, somebody will wait at home for me, what kind of relationship is that? So you really need somebody who's got the same interest as you. And, only a person who also likes running, who likes socializing, drinking, then, you could be happy.

Otherwise, I don't know, maybe it's possible to have different kind of relationship, but that's not the right thing for me. That's something I definitely know about myself in .

Ra: After the first hash, how long did it take you to get involved, to become a hare or to get involved with more stuff on the hash than just showing up?

Squirrel Style: I fell in love immediately with, with hash. That was just my world, away from all taboos, talking about everything. And what I loved about it is also this international background because,I live in Germany and I am German, but originally, I'm from Yugoslavia. And, I … Used to live in the area with people are rather,nationalist, and it's something that I never, understood really because, I see totally differently. And finally, for the first time in my life, I was surrounded by people from all over the world.

We had somebody from Singapore. We had somebody from Alaska. I met a girl from Lesotho. Where can you see people from Lesotho, It was just a paradise for me, and I was just happy. Also just different cultural backgrounds, also educational backgrounds, and that opens the whole world, opened the whole world, to me.

Because I think most people, they live in their bubbles, surrounded by their families and friends, and just moving, thinking about the same stuff. And this way, when you travel all over the world, you get a opportunity to talk with people from all kind of backgrounds. and, that can broaden your horizons enormously.

Ra: I think we should take that clip and put it all over the hash world on TV to tell people about hashing. 'Cause what you said is true, and it's, , one of the most magnificent things about hashing. it gets it.

Squirrel Style: . very important event in my life was my first time Haring. I love Haring.

Sometimes I say I love Haring more than hashing because I love to discover new places and beautiful places and to share that with other people. And I actually famous for my scenic,hashes,or trails where I want to have everything. The same was on the first time when I Hared, and it was just, three or four times , after I was introduced to hashing.

But I have to add, it was COVID. I only was there for twice running, and we almost had no running. Everything was closed for two years

Ra: Yeah,

Squirrel Style: Because it was end of 2019.

Ra: yeah, it'd be good to hear about your first Haring. I wanna also put in the mix, are you a good co-harrier? Do people like Haring with you, or do you like Haring by yourself too?

Squirrel Style: Okay, too many things I want to say at once. we should talk about my first time Haring. I wanted to have it perfect. I wanted to have it like, I want everything. I had a river, and of course,having a trail around the river is very complicated.

and I wanted to have runners and walkers together for a drink stop, and I had a medieval city, I had, abbey, I had a castle, I had nature. It has to be everything. And I prepared this well, but, I also, had help by Loose Nuts. Loose Nuts is, an experienced Munich hashers. He hashed for, I think, more than 40 years, and he's my, hash father.

so he explained me the stuff about, how can I keep the group together, like fish hooks and check backs and so on. but he also told me, "If you want to have a proper trail, you need to put blobs every 20 steps." It took me seven kilos of flour. A

Ra: lot of steps. Okay. And

Squirrel Style: five, and five hours to lay the trail.

Ra: I think this answers the question about if people wanna hare with you. I don't know how many people are willing to put five hours in to set a trail. Good for you.

Squirrel Style: It was an experienced hasher. I like doing things like that, just throwing myself into cold water, and that's exactly what I did.

But it will get better. It was already 10:00 in the evening. I did it previous day. We always hash Saturdays,just to be sure I did everything well, I, marked the trail already on Friday, and by time I was near my house, it was, like, just 500 meters away from the house, it was 10:00 in the evening.

I should explain the area a little bit. There is a river, but that river is,going into different branches. There are more than 10 branches. It's a huge park. It's beautiful. and there are also small bridges, between, so you can cross those little branches.

When I was on that, bridge, somebodies, just took my arm, one arm and then the other arm. It was in the middle in the night. There was nobody. 10:00 in the evening. I was just,what's the word? imprisoned. or kidnapped or I don't know.

Was the right thing to say. Anyway, I didn't have my freedom to move anymore. it was two men. they believed that I was spreading, some dog poison.

Ra: Wow. So white powder story on the first trail. Good.

Squirrel Style: Exactly. I didn't know what's going on, and actually I told them, "Come on, try it.

it is flour." and they licked in it, and I also licked a little bit, but they just wouldn't believe me. And they kept me there for, more than one hour until police came. they called the police. and we were in the middle of , this strange forest, so the police took them really long to, to find us.

And when they finally arrived, they were very polite, two young, policemen. One talked to me, and the other talked to the other guys, and they told them their story. I told him my story. and, they escort me, both of them, after that to my house. And imagine Serbian family, afraid authorities anyway, and I'm coming so late, 11:00 in the evening with police escort.

These things you do not forget.

Ra: This is one of the best white flour stories. And so the pack knows nothing about this, yeah?

Squirrel Style: of course they knew about, following day I told them

Ra: Well, you told them, but yeah, they didn't, nobody else got involved. It was just you. Wow.

you do look like a dangerous person.

Squirrel Style: Okay. I don't know if that's joke, but I hear men are afraid of me. I hear that again and again, Anyway, when they came into my house, and they saw it's decent house, everything is okay, and, I show them all those, bags, with flour. Then, they say, "Okay. Okay, no problem." but, I was then pissed off with the other two guys who kept me in captivity, so to say, and I wanted to sue them.

That's not okay just to take somebody's freedom. but then they wanted to counter-sue because I called them names.

Ra: Not hash names.

You're just giving them hash names, yeah.

Squirrel Style: I don't know. Askol is not a difficult- Yeah … or idiot difficult hash name. It could be.

Ra: Oh, there's somebody called that.

Kidnapping is illegal just about everywhere. that is amazing. Wow. Yeah, that's tough. What happened on the trail the next day? I was very- , you were just angry, not scared anymore by midnight

Squirrel Style: No, I was okay. I was just … I like adventures, and that was adventure for me.

I was a little bit, yeah, angry and, I talked to the others, and they actually told me I should sue them. It was not my idea. I wouldn't think of that. Comes in Handy was the one I remember who supported me in, doing so. But the policeman said, "No, drop it because you have no chance." but what I learned from that one is now whenever I Hare, I always call the police before that and inform them, and it was a few times really good idea because they would really call me and said somebody was complaining about what was the white stuff there.

so now I feel more confident about these things, and I learned something from that lesson. Yeah. and-

Ra: yeah. . hashers all know this, but there has never been a security incident caused by white powder on the ground. There's never been a real threat of any kind by white powder on the ground.

Someone should put this in a little movie that gets somewhere but, people make their own calls, but kidnapping's out. Okay. That is just wild. How did the trail go? You had put so much effort into planning this trail. How did it go the next day for the pack?

Squirrel Style: They loved it. They loved it really, from the beginning on.

I even had a kinda amphitheater for the circle. So they were amazed how successful it was. And I also loved because I invested a lot of time and energy preparing for weeks, for months. So it was a good one, and I enjoyed so much that I want to hare just a few weeks later, and, it took them two years to give me a name.

Ra: Two years. Okay. So how did you get your hash name? Zany. what did people call you before you had a hash name on the hash?

Squirrel Style: Just

Ra: Zany. They didn't call you Sunshine? Just Zany.

Squirrel Style: No. no. It was just Zany. Just Zany.

Ra: – What happened for the naming?

Squirrel Style: it was I think fourth time that I was the hare because I liked it so much, and I was really pissed off that they don't give me a name.

I was, like, not so well-behaved after all. They decided to put me in the circle and ask me different questions. one of the questions was,what's your favorite animal, of course. And the first animal that came into my mind was squirrel, because that day we're laying in the trail, I observed two squirrels just jumping from one tree to the other tree and, looking so cheerfully playing with nuts.

Yeah. And that was just the first animal that I said. And another question obviously was also, what's your favorite sex position? I said doggy style, and that's why it's Squirrel Style. I've got my family, there is a doggy style also, my hash brother and his wife. And, when people say, "What's your name?"

And I say Squirrel Style, and then I explain that's like, like doggy style just in the trees. And the question is always, "So have you tried that?" No, I haven't tried that yet. I have to ask. If I try, I'll let you all know.

Ra: That's great. Let's talk about how long it took you to get the songs. How easy was it learning the hash songs? How many different songs did they have there, at the beginning end?

Squirrel Style: I'm actually a singer. I used to learn opera singing, but to be honest, I'm not so good at, in, in hash songs.

I know some, and my favorite ones are all those with movements. I do the chicken song all the time, and I'll do banana song. that's something I love. But, the other songs, I don't know, because English is not my mother tongue. … They just don't stay in my head. but, something that I did at the beginning a lot , I was haberdasher in Munich.

and that's something I'm a little bit, yeah, proud of, because even now after years, since I did it, I see my babies all over the world. When I see my design … Because I designed the T-shirts and the other things, and when I see … people I don't know in Indonesia or in, in Canada wearing my T-shirts, then,

this makes me really happy to see my baby

Ra: all over the world. among your talents, running, singing, and what about design? Had you designed things before you were a haberdasher?

Squirrel Style: No. No, I just start with, haberdasher. Nowadays I do a lot of, that for my choir. the posters, and so on, but I, obviously I use,artificial, artificial intelligence a lot to do that.

Ra: You have a great white powder story. I've caused a few people to get picked up by police.

I've been held by the army. But you were actually just kidnapped by civilians. That's brilliant. Let, let's talk about the start of your hash traveling, we've seen you in Central America and you've traveled a- you've traveled a lot in Asia. I've hashed with you on at least three continents already.

When did you start hash traveling, and how does that fit into ,the scheduling you keep? 'Cause this summer you've been going and going.

Squirrel Style: It is true. Just in the first five months of this year, I was in 13 different countries on four different continents. Okay. That's just crazy. And, it just happened like that.

I didn't plan anything. one reason is a little bit private because my boyfriend, he is from Algeria originally, but he lives in Abu Dhabi. So I went to see him there, and, also his family. but most of the traveling was,for hashing events.

Ra: Okay …

Squirrel Style: the first time I left the village, so to say,

When I say that, Munich was, Ana Fest. It's Bavarian. we've got Bavarian hash. But Bavaria is always very special. And we even got our national hash. and it was great. I loved it so much. I met all the hashers from, especially Stuttgart. People from Stuttgart impressed me, because, Stuttgart is, industrially very strong city with, Bosch, with Mercedes, with Porsche, and young people from all over the world come there as skilled workers.

so they've got strong hashing as well with seven kennels. and, they were so much fun. They were so much fun. just the weeks ago I went to hash, with Stuttgart again, but that's changed. You can also notice there is a economy change in Germany as well, and you can see that even when hashing.

so I met people like, John, Just One Hard Nipple, or an Indian guy, or, from Mexico Kitty Fucker. Hello, Kitty Fucker. oh, we had so much fun there dancing and just doing stupid dance things. But, something that, a person that impressed me most of them is TNT.

she's got energy. She's so crazy. she's my idol, I really have to admit. and she also founded a hash. It's Sugar. Sugar is, just ladies in Stuttgart. I have to say something just what she did, or she told me that she did.

once when I hash with her, she talks to everyone. She gets to know the whole city and, she becomes so, I don't know,I don't know what's the right word for that, but she took a pistol off one policeman once. So you can imagine h- how near she becomes, to … Just loses every distance, and she took the pistol just like

Can imagine. She's so crazy. Yeah.

Ra: she can be your idol, but yeah, sh- don't copy that. You're, you have enough of a police record already, okay. w- let's just get in a little bit about Munich. You've got Oktoberfest, been a Nash Hash host several times. are you going to be there for Oktoberfest,

Squirrel Style: yes, I will be there for Oktoberfest. last bigger event that we organized was German Hash House last year in Bad Tölz. and I was in charge. I was the party manager, so I organized live band and DJs. Opie was there and Horse. I also organized the buses for Tegernsee. so all the hikers, walkers, and slow runners, they were with me, and, some of them loved it really.

I remember, a young lady from, the US, she said, "I've never been on such a beautiful trail." And of course, in the mountains with the view on the lake, you just want to share this, these beautiful areas.

Ra: That's great. Let's talk about starting Fit Tits. How did it come to be?

Squirrel Style: The following big event when leaving, Germany.

This is going to be the fourth tomorrow, actually, starting the fourth German Hash House that I'm going to visit. And I think, I am sorry, I have to apologize to all the other kennels in Europe, but I think German Hash House is the best part in Europe. And, just can't wait, for the next one.

So the next bigger, obviously, is Eurohash. and I was there for the first time last year, in Tallinn. and I was stupid enough to book the wrong flight. th- and that led to it, that I stayed a whole week in Tallinn. and although I tried to do everything right, and learn from the mistakes, best things happen.

And just because of that mistake, Fit Tits was founded. Wow. Yeah. you like to hear also a bit of negative things or a little bit, not really this time- Yeah,

Ra: yeah …

Squirrel Style: but, only

Ra: the- yeah,let's hear all the inside stuff that people who love the FitTits and were there don't always get to know or don't talk about, so yeah.

Squirrel Style: no, I just try to explain chronologically important, things that happened, at EuroHash. When I'm with Hashers, I've got so much energy. I don't know what is it, but, it's like my dog. My dog is also a Hasher. he got his name on Fit Tits in Munich after Oktoberfest after Red Dress, and he's a golden retriever.

and he's such a golden guy. But when he's with Hashers, he goes wild, totally wild. and, his name is Retrieve Her. That's his Hasher name. The other day Hashers visited me in my house here, and, they said,"Wow, he can be so quiet? And he's, can be They don't know him like that.

They know him, he's a therapy dog, he's just peaceful. But with Hashers, he becomes wild. And the same with me. So at EuroHash- Yeah … I've never been in Tallinn before, and I hared five times there. Yes. So I was planned actually only for the medium trail, because they outsource, different trails to different kennels within Europe, and Munich Hashers got that one.

but we did it. We laid the trail in the evening, but there was so much rain in the night that I got up very early and went to repair the trail again. I came back for swim. There is a lake there, swamp. And then we did the trail. And then in the evening they all said, "Where do you have all that energy from?"

And I don't know, it's just the Hash, my Hash family gives me the energy. And then, there were saunas at the lake. we would go in the sauna. We were like 17 people, like sardines. We'd jump into the lake, and then half naked I would sing karaoke. And then go… It went like that on and on for hours.

And in the end there was also a huge stage with live music, and we ended up half naked there on the stage, dancing. This is just, thanks to them, stay forever somehow and give you energy. Anyway, because of the wrong flight, I arrived to Tallinn already on Tuesday, and then, I get to know the organizer, Says the Couch, Black Tits as well.

and I told him I'm going to hare the Hangover Trail. and the Hare raiser was little brother from Sweden. so we planned everything for the hangover trail. I got material and so on. And then what happens? Sunday morning, Hazukashi sends the, message to everyone, "Hangover trail start there and there at two o'clock."

And then he comes to me asking me, "Can you give me the flour and the chalk?"

Ra: Ah, you're getting kidnapped again. Okay.

Squirrel Style: And then, "No, no, no, no, dear Hazukashi, I'm doing the hangover trail." So yeah, this was conflict that we had there, and it became a little bit political. so the poor organizer tried to find a solution, and they asked us if we could do the trail together, but no, we couldn't do it, so there were two hangover trails that day.

But FitTITS, were founded following day, on Monday

Ra: . Are there five founding members? And I think the rule is to set a FitTITS trail, you have to be one of them.

Squirrel Style: That's true. That's one of the rules. Oh,

Ra: who, who are they?

Squirrel Style: you're well-informed. but there are, like, 16 people. Oh. everybody who was in that trail is considered to be a founder. but just a few of us are really active. one of the most important guys was, Cockatool. You know Cockatool, and he's also a fantastic guy

he organized , that cruise, Eurohash, and,this year was, Easter Challenge, and he's amazing. he's , such a talented, hasher. so when he's around, you know it's a lot of fun. what happened on that, trail is that I came in, and because I was a little bit stressed with my luggage and I was supposed to go to sightseeing tour, somehow it happened that my T-shirt was wrong way around.

and, Cockatool said, "Now you have to be punished, and to flash your tits." That's what I did of course, as a good Harriet. And, that's how , this name came up later on, FitTITS. and, I have to say, I'm all nature. I just do a lot of training. That's important to say. And actually, FitTITS stands for, very cleverly, for Found In Tallinn, to, a abbreviation, Fit, Found In Tallinn, TITS, Traveling In Town Slowly.

Ra: I didn't know that. I've been on a Fit Tits and I didn't even know that. I've done a traveling in town slowly in La Cuenca with a Fit Tits. CIA's also a , founding member of Fit Tits. I think he set a trail going on.

Squirrel Style: Exactly true. I don't think he set the trail yet, but he, definitely provided these.

We've got our- Yeah … fatties. Where is it?

Ra: Yeah.

Squirrel Style: That's something to tha- thank to CIA. the organizer of the Euro Hash were there. there are, 16 founders. and I guess I'm just the most, active one of all.

Ra: But then that doesn't mean you're the only one.

The … Yeah, the trail I was on, we did a photo stop and everyone had to pose. Was that a one-timer or is that part of Fit Tits every time?

Squirrel Style: no, that's part of my way to Hare. I like, being creative and, I go around a lot and I just get the inspiration,from the place. I thought of this DSS, do something stupid,stop.

Or, one that I invented also is a heart. Yeah, I've got a heart that's supposed to, stand for that. Which means, either kiss or hug or something what we do is, a group hug. Group hug is something I love really and I do regularly. So when there is a heart on my, trail then you know, it's a hug.

I hope it won't look like showing off, but this is such an important, event for me. Dublin not long ago, just a few weeks ago, Nash Hash, and I did Fit , Tits there as well and we enjoyed. But the problem is, you're not allowed to drink alcohol in public places there.

Something that we don't know in Germany here but, in the US it's, I think similar, in many Muslim countries.

Ra: It, j- yeah, there's a few city there's some places in Florida and New Orleans you can drink publicly but generally no.

Squirrel Style: so we had a problem where we're going to have circle, and we ended up somehow in a park.

And in a park, of course, obviously it's forbidden to drink alcohol as well. But Cockatool and the others, they all brought a lot of alcohol, and I have to go earlier to catch my plane. Although I laid the trail, I was the hare, but, yeah, I said, "Sorry, I have to go." And, a good friend of mine, fa- also fantastic harriet, Tan Brulee, she's, from Aberdeen, from, Scotland.

She said, "Okay, now you're going to circle. We need to fuck off, fuck off the proper way." There were, like, 30 hashers, they all just did a huge hug. They squeeze me in the middle, and they screamed like crazy. And you can't imagine what a feeling it is, just is … Because we were hiding, actually, there.

And they screamed like the whole universe could hear you screaming. they want to thank me for investing, more efforts , in organizing that one. So yeah, fitbits are fun

Ra: I think the one we did in La Quinta might have been number 11.

Squirrel Style: No, it's not. Actually I prepared here.

The 11, 11 was just this weekend in Switzerland.

Ra: Oh, maybe it was number six. Oh.

Squirrel Style: if you want, I can go through it. So the first one was in Tallinn, as I said, EuroHash where we were founded. Then, the London one. Oh, there is another rule. , we've got plenty of rules, but this is a funny one.

we always have, a lock gate. A lock gate has to be on the trail as well, and the reason for that is when we,we're on that trail on Monday at EuroHash, we were in the middle between different buildings, and the true trail went through a gate. There were, like, metal bars, and we had to go through it, and it was very high as well.

So you couldn't do anything. And then somebody pressed the remote control, and the gate went… Imagine.

We were all so shocked. What's going on here? But that was Andres in the garage of the Black Tits, and so he called her .. while we were running to open the gate, and we go… And since then, it's always a part of,

Ra: New tradition born …

Squirrel Style: Absolutely. we need a gate. So when, we were in London in the UK, Nash Hash, at the Trinity College, I also found a beautiful gate, and I knew this one is going to be locked , after 6:00 when the trail was supposed to start.

But under the walls, there are, like, small arches that you can,what's the word? go through.

Ra: Crawl?

Squirrel Style: Crawl, exactly. so I was so happy. That's going to be a perfect gate. But I was so unlucky because there was another event, and everything was closed because of this concert. So that one didn't work, unfortunately.

Anyway, that's about London. Then Munich, the one where my dog, got Hash name. The next one did a Cockatool, and it was Transylvania Halloween Hash. And this one must have been fantastic because they did it , in a train.

Ra: Wow.

Squirrel Style: Okay. Then Messiah. Messiah is a very important, of course,

he's one of the founders. and he did one in Barbados. Then you're right, number six was Ecuador, the first Nash Hash. And then , Messiah and I did one, in Yogyakarta after the Interhash. And then Messiah did one in Saint Kitts. then Zadar, Croatia, Dublin, and now the Stein am Rhein.

Yeah. And a few traditions or rules. Circle begins with the viewing of tits. That's because that happened. we just mirror everything that happened on that, , trail. Any gender accepted. We don't discriminate against man boobs.

Ra: Yeah.

Squirrel Style: And no running. Oh, this is also important. There is no running. It's a live free extremely short walking trail, unless you're over 60. In the tradition of Captain Caveman and Messiah arriving late, hashers over 60 must wait 10 minutes sprinting to catch the pack and get through the gate before it locks.

Yeah.

Ra: Have you made Fit Tits T-shirts besides a patch?

Squirrel Style: No. No, we haven't because we don't collect any money, it's, question about finance and, we have some ideas, but, we just do hangover trails or, we're a nomadic trail, hash, so we just connect it to big events and do it afterwards.

Normally we get, beer from the organizers, but we don't , expect people to pay anything for it. but for the future it is maybe something that we should think about.

Ra: That's a big factor. It's cool. It's a free hash, but there's usually beer provided Because it's tied to an event with some hangover beer.

That's really cool.

Squirrel Style: yes, that's how we do it. Or pay as you go, that's another option. But normally, people are really happy and grateful when we jump in and do, something additionally, like it was , in Cuenca. remember that one that we … had to change the plans because of carnival and the buses didn't come, so we had this famous, seven-hour circle and thanks to you.

Ra: Cuenca was a good event for you to get a chance to perform. I'll remind you and you can talk about it. We happened to be there at a great time when the tradition for a carnival for them was spray foam and throwing water. ,, I don't know if you were just happy the way it turned out or you overestimated how effective you would be, but you ran in the street to start a battle and you got demolished.

Squirrel Style: the whole time I spent in Ecuador was amazing. and I want to, mention my friend,Flash Princess.

I met her , in Tallinn, and we sang karaoke every evening. We both can sing. she's better singer, I have to admit that. And she invited me. She told me about , this hash and I said, "Why not? I've never been in South America before and around carnival, so why not?" And this was all just amazing experience.

I came in February from cold Germany, and not only Germany is cold in February, also people are cold. And the first thing that happened to me, apart from paying just $3 for the taxi from the airport to the hostel, which is already a very positive surprise- There is a guy waiting at the hostel,Freddy, and he gives me a hug.

Imagine, I come there, I don't know anyone, and he gives me a hug. Totally warm welcoming, and I was just, "Okay, this is going to be great." The reason for that actually is, there was a misunderstanding. I just fell in love around that time, so I couldn't sleep and I would wake up at 3:00 in the morning.

and Flash Princess, she would go very late to bed, after 10:00, 11:00. Plus eight hours difference. So when I told her I'm coming tomorrow, there was a misunderstanding. Her tomorrow was not the same like my tomorrow. So that's why poor Freddy was so relieved that I arrived finally, because they expected me the previous day, I have to tell you a little bit more about this foam stuff, because it was just amazing. I have to talk about it because this was just all altogether an amazing event.

so the first evening already Friday, I was, really tired after very long trip from Europe. And, the hashes were inside that hostel. But I went outside, and what was going on, the locals- having even more fun that we had because they had , this foam, cans, and they would just foam each other.

And they then also put the water on their heads from buckets and things like that. And what I did, I thought I was very clever, but for me it was warm. It was 23 degrees, and I came from cold Germany. So I just put the swim gear on, just like bikini or something, and then I said, "Now you can fight me.

Now I'm going to win." And all American ladies like, "She's crazy. Let's make pictures." And they made so many pictures of me and I just have fun of my life. and it was the Circle Jerk who organized that, and he gave us the cans, the, the foam cans. And we were like cowboys, each of us with two cans going through the city and attacking every car.

Whenever the , the window was open, we would just spray inside, and the kids would spray us, and we were all white.

Ra: Yeah, it was epic battles. We actually got wa- Doggy Style's wife actually got so much in her eye she had to go to the hospital.

She turned out okay. Everyone , at one point had their face disappear in foam. But she got some in her eye. But I remember when you were out in the street and getting- Doused. Flash Princess is like, "I'm gonna go rescue her." She goes out, and then she got demolished. Like five guys-

knocked her over with buckets of water. It was great.

Squirrel Style: yes. That was all in front of the hostel. , That's true. And one event I really talking about Flash Princess, she got this clever idea, let's do some, foam bikini. You do remember that one.

So we went into the toilet and then took off our clothes, and we foamed each other bikinis, and then everybody was having lunch, and we were just screaming like crazy ladies because the foaming was melting very fast, like- Yeah … running around and screaming, "Ah." And nobody had time to react to get the cameras out or anything, and now we are like foam bikini sisters.

Ra: Yeah. Yeah, maybe that's something, I don't know if we can get that foam, maybe that's something that, hashers who wanna go on naked runs who don't wanna be naked can do. It was like streaking through the hasher's lunch except covered with foam.

It was funny.

Squirrel Style: By the way, talking about naked runs, I did many and just hairy one, not long ago. the idea also about Fit Tits is, it doesn't work like that unfortunately, but this gray area between normal trails and the naked run was supposed to be like topless, but it depends of course who is there, and sometime it works better sometimes.

That is… That's good.

Ra: Let's go back to travel and what you're looking forward to next. Of course, you love German Nash Hash and you say it's the best hasher party in Europe. But what other things are you looking forward to and are on your list of things you're gonna show up at and people can see you at most likely?

Squirrel Style: next year I'm going to have sabbatical. I'm a teacher. I've got quite many school holidays, but, mostly I can't go to big events because of course I can't take holidays. But, next year starting August 27 to September 28, as a friend of mine, Wooden Chew, the turn, GM said I'm going to be a professional hasher.

Ra: . Wow. Nice.

Squirrel Style: The plan is to do all the big events. of course Eurohash is going to be Interhash, Pan, Asia, Pan,Africa, Sierra Leone. I plan to hash a lot in Africa because, some African hashers I met, in Indonesia, they impressed me so much. I love , the way they do circles.

I love the way they sing tuneless. What a voice this guy has got. That's just amazing. so I want to do more Africa and Asia. just last weekend I talked to the Serbian Bomber. Really difficult name for me because I'm from Serbia. He has nothing to do with it. and he gave me the list of places he, hashed a lot in Asia, where I want to go, like Vietnam and, and Thailand and so on.

I've got friends now all over the world. many Indian hashers, , my good friends. so I haven't got, the kind of, exact list of what I'm going to do, but it's going to be a lot of hashing. additionally, I want to found two more, or already found two more,kennels.

one together with, Canada Wet from Switzerland. He's originally from Scotland. it's the Little Venice, and, it was supposed to start this year already, so we are going just into places who are the, the Little Venice. Both of us love a Venice hash, and Switz- Travis did very much, so that's how we decided, to start that hash.

There was some technical reason why it hasn't started yet, but it will. and , there are places,, they are like little Venice. There are like 15 all over the world, they're not going to be regular hashes, but just occasionally, and then we'll let everybody know. And the other one is the one that I want to do together with my boyfriend.

it's called Medieval Hash, and we are just doing, small medieval, towns. the first one is going to be in Germany, middle of Germany. Papenheim is the name, and, there's a castle. There's a beautiful area, and these places are, not well known, so they will be happy to have us to… So we can bring some money, and for us also, I hope.

And this one is going to take place every year.

Ra: Fit Tits is a thrown together, doesn't have overhead of funding or anything. You just gotta have Fit Tits founder there to make sure the traditions are a part of it. What about the Medieval Hash?

How are you gonna, invite people? How big do you think it can handle in these little towns?

Squirrel Style: it, they won't be very big, at least not in the beginning. It's going to be a proper, hash event, like, an international hash with Rego and so on. But at the beginning, it won't be more than 100 people.

Ra: Like the Venice Hash after camping- Exactly … sure.

Squirrel Style: Exactly. Probably more direction 70, next year. but we'll see how it's going to develop. And for the beginning, , there will be hotels. Those hotels are not very expensive. Also a option with camping, but, youth hostels is just too expensive, in Germany.

and, yeah, we have to consider these things.

Ra: the only places that you didn't just happen to mention is Down Under. Are you gonna get to Australia and New Zealand on your sabbatical year, do you think?

Squirrel Style: It's possible. It's possible. Okay. my boyfriend has got a very good friend there that he would like to visit, so if it's possible for us to go there together.

But something that we haven't mentioned is actually the USA. The USA, I never been there for hashing. It was actually planned this year that I go a really big round, but, something came in between. And that's the one I'm looking for very much because I know so many hashers from, from the US, and, that's really exciting for me.

Ra: Brilliant. Yeah, so that'll starting in the fall of '27 – Summer of 2027 … travel and do all that.

Squirrel Style: Yeah. First of all- One summer.

Ra: Let's talk about any other people you wanna mention. You got a lot of good names in there and you're very appreciative of these people that you've met and enjoyed making friendships with and, Loose Nuts, a 40-year Hasher.

Everybody knows Messiah now. we made him, sashes and we've given them to him to say he's a World Down Down Champion what happened. he won the World Down Down Championship, and then every time he visited somewhere, everyone wanted to say, "All right, race me." So everyone got their fastest drinker and saying, let's beat the Down Down Champion."

So we got him a sash that he can wear and he does- he can just not even drink fast at all, just let them

Squirrel Style: win. I know, I was there. I remember all these things. And, we were supposed to hang together, hang around, between those events, but something again came in between, but I'll see him tomorrow. And, Good

I suppose he knows that I'm doing the interview today with you, so I'm supposed to mention his name.

Ra: I interviewed him a long time ago. I

Squirrel Style: 2021. And interesting thing- Wow … … I listened to that one today just to get inspired. and I don't know all these details, but he said, he was about to get married, also hash wedding, and he organized a kind of, white dress run.

So I wanted to ask you if you've got experience with that because next December I'm … this December actually, I'm going to have also hash wedding. and I like the idea, about, white, dress run. I just don't get it whether they're going to run- I guess that's one option, like we run in red dresses, or is it more like in the evening?

Or what were , the hash weddings that you've been to?

Ra: Yeah. We've done a lot of hash weddings. There's a bunch of us that have … Everyone likes to organize that, and we have a ceremony and we make up vows and everything. And a couple hash clubs, the first white dress , it was a wedding dress hash that I heard about.

there was a wedding dress store that went out of business and they made us slash their dresses and put them all out in the alley, and hashers stumbled upon it and they all grabbed wedding dresses, and then they came and did a wedding dress hash, and everyone ran in wedding dresses. But when you get to the US, you'll have a chance maybe to go to the Savannah Green Dress.

Toronto has a pink dress for cancer. There's a lot of different colors. Unfortunately for most traveling hashers, it's hard to travel with all the colors you need. But I think the spectacle of people running in white dresses is a really nice thing. Whether it's a walk, Maybe Fit Tits can do a white dress trail one day.

But it i- it does bring out people and it gets a good reaction. It's a chance to promote hashing, 'cause it draws attention. that's my experience. we've been in green, yellow, pink, red, white dresses, and, I

Squirrel Style: founded orange one as well.

Ra: Ah.

Squirrel Style: Yes. There is orange hash run. And this one is against violence against women, and it's around, 9th of November.

So when I do that, somewhere, that did last one in Munich, then I do orange, hash run.

Ra: in addition to being happy, positive, promoting hugging, … and having all this energy, it's great you're creative. You've already got Fit Tits well established around the world. A lot of people have gotten to do it, and you're creating two more events.

It's just this is what gives everybody confidence that the hash is going to live on and grow and expand even though it contracts and comes and goes everywhere else around the world. It's a really good thing.

Squirrel Style: Thank you.

Ra: anybody else you wanna mention?

Squirrel Style: Yes, my hash family in Germany, Hog With No Name and, Seaman Commander.

They like my hash father, hash mother. They're around all the time. yeah, many people I like , from Sandbach. The Sandbach also I think, again, between us, don't say anybody best kennel in the whole Germany. and so many other people I love. Nienburg, for example, Rainbow Warrior, Squeeze It.

she's also fantastic, talented, hasher, also new GM, and she travels a lot. yeah, so many people. Mabouche. Mabouche is also great. You interviewed her as well. I visited her in Brazil and we had fantastic time together there in, São Paulo. It was around Carnival. Of course, in São Paulo is the capital, of gay people, and then imagine what it feels like to be amongst the almost naked people and then just feel the energy moving slowly.

so many people I love.

Ra: Yeah, she just got a poster ready. She's inviting all the hashers to come down and see her on the coast in Brazil there, and she has a place for people to stay. , what was your visit like with Mabouche?

Squirrel Style: it's a hostel. she running a hostel. it's very important to, to distinguish it's not just a crash space.

and, I loved it. I enjoyed it so much. I was just dancing and singing because the atmosphere is fantastic, the temperature, and you're so relaxed, and you just see, hear this samba, samba wherever you go. And what I loved most of it is that she lives like locals. She just bought one of those houses, and we had some rusty bicycles like 50, 60 years old.

and we took the rusty bicycles to go to the beach, and of course, what happened? The chain fall off, and she was, like, desperate. And I'm from area of mechanical engineering, so it was nothing easier for me than to repair a bicycle, and I was just having fun making all kind of pictures and videos, and poor Mabouche totally desperate.

But of course, we repaired it and went to the beach. The beach just amazing. I loved… And the crazy thing, they walk across , the highway there. they're really pedestrian crossing, and you have to walk there, ride bicycle, and first time when she told me that, then I said, "No chance to do it."

And the second time was already, "Come on, Mabouche, hurry up. Let's go."

Ra: I don't know if you heard the story, but the next time see either Bubbles or Cosmo, do you know their story of the Uber ride they took?

Squirrel Style: I see them both tomorrow, but tell me

Ra: I'm gonna let you tell them. But the summary is Cosmo and Bubbles were with Mabouche, and they had set a trail, and they needed to get an Uber ride home, and it's a different company.

And the ride they got was with a person who was doing his first ride ever, and he didn't know how to use the GPS or the directions. It's a … You gotta hear the story. They were a few kilometers away. It took hours. And it's not … They weren't kidnapped, but they went to somebody's house.

Their driver's- … brother came out and slapped them, made them sit in the back seat with them. It's a great story. You need to hear it from them. Yeah, I'll leave that.

Squirrel Style: I'll ask them definitely

Ra: Talk about what you're wearing. , Your hash name necklace is one of the biggest

It looks like maybe made by cannibals. I don't know.

Squirrel Style: I know. It's just a long hash name, and there is a rainbow penis, and because of my dog. Should be I love my dog, and of course something to drink. It's a cocktail.

Ra: Ah,

Squirrel Style: very bright. But it's beautiful and heavy. Yes. And, and I have to show my, outfit.

Oh, I can't. It disappeared.

Ra: It comes in goes. We can see the tartan there. All right. , On fifth tits or every other hash, is the Ra always right?

Squirrel Style: Ra is always right, of course

Ra: Okay.

It's great hearing all this Squirrel style. it's gonna be a party when you're around, and fun, and there'll be hugging and smiling and laughing and dancing and singing.

It's great to hash with you, and I hope everybody in the world, gets a chance to hash with you too. Go to Germany.

Squirrel Style: Thank you very much. I enjoyed a lot. All the best. All

Ra: All right, let's wrap it up and just say we'll see you on trail. On, on.

Squirrel Style: On, on

To close the circle, here's the Hash Anthem sung by Mother Hash
