Virgin Stephanie brings up the rear	The Run With the Hares only arriving back at 3.20 the pack were getting a bit anxious (and rightly so) about the length of this run. Mind you, most of the pack was late in arriving as well so it was some time before things got underway. The first paper was up the main road for a fair distance and off on the east side. (I’ve since noticed that had we gone about 50m south we could have got away from the road easily). Anyway, we headed off to the north and into the maze-like alleys of bricks which had the pack confused for a while. Soon after that it was along paths through some disgustingly smelly ponds and finally to a check next to a couple of working brick kilns, where Geli proceeded to take on the role of tour guide and the hash was temporarily forgotten about by a fair few including, notably, the GM! From here we headed into the trees and villages for a while where Can’t Pull used seriously questionable interrogation techniques on the local kids to find out where the paper went, before crossing the river via the road bridge and turning south through the bamboo to follow the lake side for a while, pausing for the group photo. Then it was through the school and cricket matches where Son of Sucker managed to score a quick half century before moving on, and onto the main road. The Hares had intended the next section to be just a quick loop back to the On In but hadn’t bargained for a limited number of crossing points of the small but murky stream which meant we had to go about 2km west to find a suitable crossing point (the same as used on run 1370). It was then a gentle meander through bamboo forest and villages and along brick roads back to the main road about half a bloody mile away from the On In.

Five of the Seven	The Circle Once everyone was in and refreshed the circle got underway up on the roof of “Big Italy”. First in as usual were the seven Hares to be told what a fantastic job they had done in setting the run of the year! We then welcomed virgin Marlene who is from LA and is Pussy Pick Up’s mum. Also present was new runner Ron, who ran on the LA Hash sometime back in the ‘80s and who in consort with virgin Marlene is responsibly for bestowing on the hash the wonderful (at least they think he is) Pussy Pick Up. They have a lot to answer for. The trio of Rocks Off, Slippery Hole and Crusty Lobster were welcomed back. Crusty has been in Taiwan, Slippery Hole in Germany and Rocks Off in Oz. Leavers? Well I think it is time to make something of a point about the numbers of leavers who happily turn up at the following week’s hash. Please understand, and its not too difficult even for hashers, that to be a leaver you have to actually leave and don’t fucking come back the next week. Rugger Bugger and Dirty Girl please note, and Andrew Long (who was observed at Run 1373). You’re all bloody freeloaders just after a free drink and a moment of glory in the circle. Genuine leavers this week were Five Year Old Shit (far east), Foreskin (Oz), All the Pussy Family complete with Mum & Dad (China and Philippines), Hairy Crack and some of the offspring and friends (Oz), Penis & Challenger (Dubai and somewhere else). And finally, Dirty Girl who is headed for Cape Town via Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. That is, unless she decides to come back next week. Proceedings were then handed over to stand in RA, Five Year Old Shit. The thing about FYOS doing his RA bit is that he rabbits on at a rate of knots handing out down-downs like there’s no limit on the beer supply. As a result, it is all I can do simply to list them, with no opportunity for fleshing things out with artistic prose. So here goes: - Dirty Girl for shocking pink shorts (see main photo) - Horse’s Arse for being a disorganised Hash Cash - The Walkers Hares, Andrew and Pubic Hare, for guiding the walkers through industrial wasteland and rubbish dumps - Private partiers Cloth Balls and Can’t Pull - Rugger Bugger for being a lost Hare - Rocks Off for not sweating on the run - Numbered Hares Dunny Gone, LBH and Upguts - Dunny Gone for not providing cakes and Tee shirts on his birthday run - Stephanie for not wearing a hash Tee Shirt - Foreskin for talking too much - Geli for the guided tour of the brick kilns - Cloth Balls, Upguts and Blow Pipe for their animal magnetism And finally, anniversarians (that must be the American word) for managing to stay together for 25 years.
