World Hash Events: August 2014

[Haz]

Hello hashers,

I'm packing my bags . . . I'm ready to go . . . Looking forward to seeing many friends in Brussels . . .

EUROHASH 2015 - Registration is open. http://www.eurohash.org

In the Spotlight - Okinawa

All of the IN THE SPOTLIGHT articles I have written have been based on my own experience in the particular area featured, often along with a healthy dose of research and correspondence with other hashers that I know of that can add to the story. This month’s excursion into Hash House Harriers history is one that I have thought and wondered about for decades. If you have been around even for a short while, you have certainly seen or heard about the Okinawa HHH, with those colorful orange and blue happi coats standing out in any crowd of brightly colored hasher frivolity. I started my hash life in 1984 with the Okinawa HHH, which has directly spawned nearly 30 new hash clubs all over the world.

And now for something completely different . . .

Heteronyms

Homographs are words of like spelling but with more than one meaning.
A homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym.

So you think English is easy?

- The bandage was 'wound' around the 'wound.'

- The farm was used to 'produce' 'produce.'

- The dump was so full that it had to 'refuse' more 'refuse.'

- We must 'polish' the 'Polish' furniture.

- He could 'lead' if he would get the 'lead' out.

- The soldier decided to 'desert' his dessert in the 'desert.'

- Since there is no time like the 'present,' he thought it was time to 'present' the 'present.'

- A 'bass' was painted on the head of the 'bass' drum.

- When shot at, the 'dove' 'dove' into the bushes.

- I did not 'object' to the 'object.'

- The insurance was 'invalid' for the 'invalid.'

- There was a 'row' among the oarsmen about how to 'row.'

- They were too 'close' to the door to 'close' it.

- The buck 'does' funny things when the 'does' are present.

- A seamstress and a 'sewer' fell down into a 'sewer' line.

- To help with planting, the farmer taught his 'sow' to 'sow.'

- The 'wind' was too strong for me to 'wind' the sail.

- Upon seeing the 'tear' in the painting I shed a 'tear.'

- I had to 'subject' the 'subject' to a series of tests.

- How can I 'intimate' this to my most 'intimate' friend?
