HASHIE BIRTHDAY TO BOZO-THE-CLOWN
…BORN SO BEAUTIFUL…
Rendezvous: It was supposed to be Tongi at 3pm, but once again to political intervention, not to mention a million marchers marching on Dhaka, the RV was switched to Thompson’s End.
Birthday boy Bozo started by admonishing his own
co-hare Gorf for wearing a maroon instead of a red t-shirt. Maroon is the new red in France perhaps?
The Run/walk: As hares called on on and pointed south, runners decided that they knew better and headed east until they were finally convinced that there really was no paper in that direction (but it took a while!)
Walkers showed a modicum of intelligence and took the direction indicated by the hares, and repeated to do so at the next few checks, while runners continued to check it out in all directions.
The trail led hashers out from between the houses into rice-paddy land, then after ‘nimbly’ (hard to imagine ‘nimbleness’ considering the size of some hashers) jumping a stream both runners and walkers were led across the sand-covered flats of what had once been Dhaka’s flood-plain.
Pipelines protruding from the sandbanks offered a route across some of the ditches; a few well-balanced hashers (oxymoron) took this acrobatic route across. Most just walked into and out of the ditch…
Hashers searched in vain for paper in the sand and were almost heading back the way they’d come when a distant Minty finally found a distant check. The opportunity was taken to empty a few kilos of sand out of our shoes (some having accumulated more than others).
A ridge between rice and reclaimed land offered the route to the B-point (which was actually the A-point) – hashers didn’t seem to be in a hurry, or else they were stuck behind someone who certainly wasn’t!
The Circle: Vanilla vodka shots were handed around, the hares were abused, and then HM Penís welcomed in the alliterative birthday boy Bozo for a hashie birthday song. She also reminded him that, having spotted him shortcutting his own trail, when you’re a hare you should stay on paper!
So onto the virgins:Søren the new Danish intern, Lys from UK who’d been in Dhaka 3 years and was about to leave (left it a bit late to start the hash didn’t she!), and Candice from US here to research traditional medicine (slowest drinker ever).
Returnees were about to drink when a prayer-break was required, during which Penís made some Nash Hash announcements regarding logistics.
There were so many returnees that we needed 2 groups, but eventually all were appropriately welcomed and a special visitor could be welcomed back to our midst – 240Vulva was here for a holiday (Dhaka’s only tourist)!
Religious Advice: RA Bozo started off with a small ‘firework’ display – well actually a
party-popper display – before moving onto more important matters such as KBKC’s new shoes. Geli earned a DD for telling us that the shoes were new: ‘dobber-inner’.
An impromptu birthday competition sought to test our knowledge (we’re hashers, what do we know?) of famous people born on the 4th of February. Of course we’d all heard of Nathalie Imbrulier (sp?) 1979 – at least those of us under 25 had; Charles Lindburg 1901, Alice Cooper (who the f**k is Alice?) 1949 and Dan Quale. Winners won prize DDs.
Virgin Candice was not forgiven for carrying an i-pod, although it obviously saved her from being chatted up by Homeless: ‘technologically ept’.
240Vulvu had brought a German friend to Dhaka with her, but the friend was now sick and had decided not to hash: ‘stay at home sulker’.
Not only had Bozo the hare shortcut, so had LBH, Circumcised, GooseBumby and a whole host of others: ‘shortcutting bastards’.
Announcements: included an invitation to Trek-or-treat and CrustyLobsters to ‘sing for your supper’. As a demonstration all hashers sang a song for Gorf – no prizes for guessing which song!
Next week’s hash: for those not going on the Nash Hash, 4pm Little Italy
Addendum: back at the BAGHA, hashers had a chance to buy Bozo a few drinks – all at once – in a yard. Bozo demonstrated his skilful mastery of the yard of ale and drank the lot without spilling any – years of practice!
On paper….…
