Hashing with hardly a soul in
sight |
The
Run Having been stuck in town for the last few
runs it was wonderful to get back out into the countryside of Ashulia. Being
a working day for most only a select few managed to turn out, but all the
more fun for those who did and there’ll be another celebration on the 19th
Jan. Special Silver Jubilee T-shirts and
patches were handed out and the cleverer amongst the hashers (well, one
hasher) spotted the deliberate error: GenderBender’s name was on the t-shirts
as a hare, but he’d mysteriously transformed into LBH (the universal hare)
for the occasion! Ah well, at least GB sponsored them. Two types of paper to follow: shreddie for
the runners and fettuccini for the walkers (you’d think that would avoid
confusion, but ohhhh noooo, of course not). Some apparent cross-trailing
(like cross-dressing but without the boobs) but nevertheless runners soon
found themselves jogging in peace and tranquillity, with hardly a soul in
sight. One particular soul – RailJerker – was soon completely out of sight
although he was apparently taking the running trail (over 10% loss by the
hares – oops). Walkers and runner’s trails bifurcated at
the sign of the four dots. These dots looked peculiarly like the teleport
spots on the Star Trek Enterprise, with LBH and Warm&Fluffy wearing the
red shirts (they’re dead)! As we headed back into civilisation we
came across the walkers at a checkpoint close to home. There was a brief
pause for a sound thrashing by some 10 year old boys (no idea what the name
of the game was) – CamelJockey seemed to fit in! Ignoring the advice to stay on shreddie,
runners came across fettuccini and promptly picked up the walkers trail.
Warm&Fluffy eventually called them back in line. Before long we were on
beer and popping out behind Little Italy where the usual field for the circle
had been turned into a wicket. The walkers weren’t far behind. Ignoring the couple having a romantic
dinner in the corner, we decided to hold the circle inside LittleItaly (how
could they refuse after we’d handed them one of our exclusive hash
calendars). The
Circle There was still no sign of RailJerker, but
Motalib had mysteriously appeared, as deputy GM WebFart took over for his
final Christmas/New Year turn before the return of Penís. RJ arrived as the
hares were thanked for a great run, just in time to receive his 300th
run certificate and mug. ‘Get a life’. RA Bozo stepped up and started with some
Cricket world record celebrations and a down down for young Sucker. Motalib
was the ‘late turner upper’. PrinceZulu had grown a little since he was last
in town – watch out CamelJockey! Warm&Fluffy was obviously responsible
for the paper everywhere and, considering their trail confusion both W&F
and LBH were dubbed the ‘pointless hare and the recruitee’ – LBH not least
because he’d been recruited only 2 minutes before the run started, due to the
GenderBender no-show. WebFart’s idea to put 4 dots on either
side of the trail at the bifurcation point seemed rendered half of them
redundant. LBH was reminded of the Star Trek ‘beam me up’ spots. DD to the
‘wannabee trekkies’. TrekOrTreat was noticeable for being an
FRB for the first half of the run and a back-marker along with CrustyLobster
at the end – LBH syndrome! Together they were the ‘lack of stamina and the
probably cause’. A visiting SexStarved was no longer running on the hash –
getting unfit perhaps: ‘slob around all day’. Sucker was not responsible for the
t-shirts but shared in GenderBender’s ‘t-shirt crime’ for having his name
down as a hare but not turning up. TruckYanker didn’t seem to share the
others enthusiasm on the walk, although had time for a spot of birdwatching;
‘disappointed walker’. Deportee spotted lurking on the edge of
the circle with his hands in his pockets, no doubt playing ‘pocket
billiards’. Had hares tipped CamelJockey off about the
trail? At one check he saw paper going in one direction but told us that it
was going the wrong way – how did he know? He had ‘spies’. Bozo self-confessed to racing with Sucker
and awarded themselves a down down for being ‘racist bastards’. And finally, WebFart was thanked for
organising this special jubilee run: ‘hash hero’. WF in turn thanked the
event sponsors GenderBender (t-shirts), Shinepukur/Beximco (mugs) and ChickenFucker
(patches). On pizza… On paper… Warm&Fluffy |
