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…
