Unless you were too young, too drunk, or not a member of the SH3 community in the early years of the current millennium, you will almost certainly remember The Scum, the off-and-on-again organ of Songkhla Hash House Harriers. And, of course, the inspiration for this website, which we can only hope will achieve a small fraction of the fame and glory of its hard-copy namesake.While a full history of The Scum will have to await the efforts of Egghead, its founder and main publisher (hint, hint!), TOS would like to pay tribute to this seminal publication by occasionally featuring particularly notable covers from its history.
We kick off this series with this splendid full-color example from Songkran 2006, the 'Dungbeetle Goes on Holliday' edition. It appears to be the work of sometime Scum editor/publisher Conebrain (please correct us if we're wrong). Note especially the Receding Hareline, which was rather typical for the time.

Snivelling Beavers won't help this cause. If the TOS is to survive it needs to maintain it own identity or suffer the same fate as the printed matter referred. It is not the SCUM, it is not one mans rave, it is a BLOG!
ReplyDelete'Blog' . . . ugly new word. 'Scum' . . . nice old SH3 tradition.
ReplyDeleteIt is whatever it becomes. If it doesn't work out, we pull the plug. Nothing lost.
