Run No:- 1038 Date:- 10th February 2003
Location:- Wat Pra Ruang Prasit, Ramindra Hares:- Imelda and Toyboy Scribe:- Lick Dearly Ahhh, a write-up you ask? As I can recall, taking my vast years of experience in hashing, providing write-ups, and accurately reporting all activities, it is totally appropriate to have the fresh perspective and truth about what actually transpired.
As we all gathered for the boarding party in the hash mobile at Noriega's bar, it was noticed that there were more people than spaces, an unusual condition as the hash mobile has been known to accommodate ten people to a hash outing, so a taxi was hired to weave in and out of traffic and follow to the run site, without incident unless you count the tow motor bikes that are still laying in the street, should have walked... As we arrived at the run site, the acting GM called the troops to the opposite end of the soi as Imelda and Toy Boy indicated, needed a bit longer run....Senator showed up with the hopes of scoring a birthday shirt from Imelda but on learning that there was no chance, fucked off early... to the run:
The pack was called on and headed down the soi to the main drag with Bullet Boulter and bug Turner leading the way, an usual site but becoming more regular as these two erstwhile, multiple-years of hashing have finally allowed those 3 extra kilos to be shed and create fleet of foot front runner. Leaving Man Called Horse in their dust the turned into the greenery for some such running. On to the first check along a klong with no apparent place to go, when paper was spotted across the klong. With no saphan in site, Knickerless was the first to dive into the muck and lead the way to the continuation of the run. Being a back check, several hashers were caught as only Bug and Bullet stayed back along with Crash Daly and her followers...Again, many years of hashing experience won out as these two stalwarts allowed the lead to be relinquished intuitively knowing the hares cunning tricks. Back along the klong for 100 meters and paper crossing over the klong to the a small Mooban where the waiting residents, waving flags lined up to encourage the runners on, cups of water donated to insure the runners were well hydrated.
The next check ended at the Chonburi Highway with nowhere to go. 87 meters down the road, an large arrow indicated the paper began again on the other side of the highway.. oh, those hares, sitting back and laughing as they pictured the hashers dodging oncoming traffic at 140-200 clicks as they attempted to cross. As luck would have it, we only lost two which the crows are probably feasting as we speak. It seems the lower end of the species sometimes is pared back when a balance of nature is needed.
On the other side of the motorway, false trail showed up...ha ha, back across the traffic and into the rubber plantation where the trail went up and down for a good 4 km and then out into the paddy fields where the paper led between a couple fields. Being that the thunderstorms had soaked the ground pretty well, many slid into the fields losing shoes and in some cases, sinking up to their asses in water.... oh, these hares were just full of surprises! Again a back check that brought the pack back to the other side and onto latterite for another 2 km on in to the waiting water and piss. All in 46 minutes for the front runners. All concluded the run to be one of the better write-ups of the year and snack were served to the delight of those who made it back, all with in 55 minutes, brilliant job by the hares in keeping the pack together.
Acting GM called the circle together with visitors, returners, and the hares given their just due through down - downs and a couple sinners for some reason along with glad receiver on the Prick of the Week, an Irishman who thought is was reward and lobbied ... free beer?? Little did he know that it was free anyhow but being Irish, beer in hand was all that was important. As the piss ran out, many sinners escaped and will live another day carrying the load that they were unable to unload, the week will be difficult...
The ON ON ON was at a little restaurant where beer flowed profusely and suki cooking kept everyone hot and uncomfortable, nevertheless full.
There was a whole bunch more that happened but time does not permit the full reporting to be done as Hon Sec has deadlines and this much thinking, remembering, and honest reporting has taken a toll on the writer as the damaged brain cells required eight hours to complete this... In the end, we survived Imelda's 40th birthday again and look forward to next year's fortieth birthday, Thanks.
Note from HonSex:- If any hashers actually read the nonsense above, you should know that Scribe Lick Dearly skipped the run altogether and guzzled beer at the truck, with complaints of gout and his foot wrapped up, while entertaining his guests from Colorado,USA, retired television stars John Boy and Mary Ellen from The Waltons.
