Homebound Human Trafficking		The RV KBKC’s where we all gathered before piling into two Homebound trucks provided by Can’t Pull. CP was there to see us off but couldn’t join as he had a greater calling to attend (it being Sunday n’all). With hashers hanging from the sides and climbing onto the roof (Horse’s Arse playing daredevil for the sake of a good photo), the trucks eventually arrived safely at the Dhanmondi lakeside. We all piled out and let Warm & Fluffy call for her obligatory group photo, before moving on to let the freedom fighters place an offering outside Sheikh Mujibur’s house/museum. Once the formalities were over KBKC led us to a quieter spot and the hares, in the absence of a Hash Mistress, called themselves to order. Hares reminded us that being Victory Day there was the dreaded red paint (the blood of the martyrs) instead of hash paper. Back-running hares included Warm & Fluffy who 1) had only stepped off a plane from UK 6 hrs earlier, and 2) hadn’t set the trail because of 1), so pity on those who couldn’t keep up with the FRBs! The Run With flags waving (some bigger than others) hashers set off into the crowds. Both Horse’s Arse and Bum Deal limped alongside the run – hashing martyrs. One virgin slapped along in a pair of sandals – had no-one told her that we actually don’t just stand around and drink beer (hard to believe I know). It wasn’t long before she was asking: “are we there yet?” Checks came thick and fast and there were no falsies, so hashers barely had time to work up a sweat before they were holding yet again. No-one was complaining, especially those who’d either 1) got rat-arsed at Matthias’ the night before and could hardly stand, or 2) run in the morning’s charity race and had done quite enough running for one day. With so many checks to slow the runners, the walkers following the same trail were eventually spotted not far behind. Is it true however that they had to take rickshaws because KBKC buggered off and left them leaving Pubic Hare to get lost? With a few more twists and turns around the lakeside and side-streets, including a brief crossing of trails which did not impress Bozo (hares blamed it on KBKC), hashers eventually popped out in front of the Parliament building. The homebound trucks were there waiting patiently and as the runners climbed in, the front running walkers appeared – KBKC having left the real walking walkers behind to fend for themselves. Once all safely on board the trucks headed into the traffic jams and crawled their way back to KBKC’s for the circle.

Virgins from down-under		The Circle Being a combined hash, the Dhaka Hash GM, Dunny Gone, stepped into the fray along with the stats sheet and did the hashing honours. Since I don’t have a copy of the stats sheet and I didn’t take any notes (as I’d had no intention of writing a trash until the trash-on-holiday Towed dropped me a line and delegated me the job for the next week or two), I have no idea who anyone is or what misdemeanours they perpetrated. I could just make it all up. Virgins (I’ve no idea what their names were), all from the land of down under, supped their beers to the tune of ‘all Australians are born illegitimate’. Returnee Warm & Fluffy was welcomed back from her trip to head office in the UK (pause for a song about head). Permanent leaver Headlights On was handed her obligatory leaver’s mug full’o beer, whilst temporary leaver Clothballs kept her company. Trek-or-Treat received his 125 run certificate, then Homeless received one for 200 runs but there was some debate about how many of those he’d actually paid up for! KBKC was called in to help acknowledge Victory Day by drinking lots of beer (true hash style). Then it was on to a not-so-sprightly Bozo (big night last night) for some ligious advice. With no notes and a shite memory there’s little to report. RocksOff obviously did something; a small beer-drinking dog joined us; the hash calendar team Bozo, Warm & Fluffy and Web Fart (with Web Fart look-a-like Infused) took a bow (i.e. a beer); Tall Man drank out of yet another pair of new shoes. Syphie also took a turn as RA where he reminded us of the difference between men and women, as illustrated by the female perseverance of the sandal-clad virgin and the male pig-headedness of an injured Horse’s Arse. A final RA turn by KBKC rounded off the circle with a song by the freedom fighters and, since Web Fart had failed to materialise with the certificate and mug there was no celebration of KBKC’s 1250^th (or was it 1350^th) Dhaka Hash.
