Bloody Homebound drivers don’t know their way…	Scribe Towed has decamped for the Christmas holidays so I shall attempt to catch a few Victory vibes by turning my hand (once more) to providing a page or two of utter trash – but I try to make up for it in pictures (Warm&Fluffy). The run/walk The usual combined Victory Day gathering of Dhaka Hashes, with circulating of ‘Spirit of ‘71 t-shirts’ (for once not bearing the ‘not forgiven’ slogan) at KBKC’s home. Once signed up and the customary group photo taken, the hares were introduced (not one of whom had actually set the trail) then it was on-truck (courtesy of Homebound) and off to Dhanmondi. Boy-racing with flags a-flying down the airport road soon (a relative term considering Dhaka traffic) brought us chez Mujibur for a solemn moment of wreath-laying and tear-shedding (how that grit gets in your eyes). KBKC’s comprehensive preparations were then put into action: - just run round the lake until we hit road 12B (or was it C or D?) and look out for some red paint (cunningly disguised as blood) marking at least some of the trail. So we did, with TallMan leading the way on the run most of the time on account of his knowing the way. No checks but we somehow managed to hold them anyway – either that or leave a few slow-running bastards way behind. I guess someone eventually recognised where we were and veered away from the lakeside, and lo and behold the trucks appeared. A few over-energetic hashers added a kilometre or two to the day by hopping off the trucks in front of the cantonement and heading in on foot to KBKC’s. The rest of us saw sense and rode on in like the live cargo that we are.
Mini me
Bridge over stinky waters	Clueless hares			And the clueless who follow them
This smelt better in Hyde Park	The Circle A combined attempt by GMs Warm&Fluffy and DunnyGone to greet virgins – of whom there were many – say goodbye to leavers and hand out certificates to those who really ought to get a life (particularly CamelJockey on 450 hashes). We said a sad and permanent goodbye to C*ntText who is making his way back to Scandahooligan land. RA Bozo began by accusing the running hares of being “shite” – so what’s new – then handed them shots of some kind of engine fuel instead of beer. TallMan was unusually dubbed a hash hero for actually knowing where he was going (unlike the hares) and brining us in on time. Hashers so often able to put themselves on a stage and act like idiots had obviously found a way to do it in front of a real audience by putting on Dracula the Musical. Beers all round for LipService, Bozo, virgin-Larissa and LousyLay –lookalike for being ‘wonderful thespians’. Not content with just treading a few boards, a couple took the opportunity to take it all off (almost) for Warm&Fluffy at her batchelorette party: no names given but a beer for stand-ins WetBalls and son-of-Extorsionist for being ‘hashers who broke the rules’. So what else. Somehow Bozo discovered that ComicStripper does a sideline in women’s underwear (won’t dwell on that one). Thanks to Can’tPull for his trucks – with luxury cardboard to sit on for a change – a very generous sponsor. No thanks but a large kick up the arse for MintyHole for not having arrived with a bunch of much anticipated hash calendars to distribute. A couple of final misdemeanours: Homeless taking a running lead with flag flying – as we found ourselves heading in the direction of his home; then something relevant about ShittyTitty, involving a website and group sex and an attempt to teach Bozo a thing or two. DHHH RA Brigadier then stepped up but I have absolutely no idea what he was talking about, although I’ve jotted down a few notes as follows: clean hare, henless drivers, skinny and hairy, misguided, mutter-chug (what the f**k does that mean?). Obviously we rounded up with a rousing ‘joy bangla’ and recognition for KBKC – the only hasher to have a road named after him (a road called KBKC?). A final announcement assured us that there really would be a photo exhibition of our very own David Bailey, Homeless, coming soon at an Aussie Club near you. Put 14 January 2009 in your hash diaries!
Candyfloss man
Meet the virgins
Goodbye and get-a-life
Kiss to the right and…				…a kiss to the left.
