It is the rainy season of course, but the Hares were surprised that their trail was wet. They assured us it was dry the previous day. Imelda and Toyboy blamed the RA, but that wise old sea captain, Capt Erik sagely observed that “it’s wet everyf*ing where these days”! The trail took the pack through a lake of water at the start. Jeanine freaked out at the sight of a large snake lying in the grass (Imelda had warned us that she had killed two) and so determined was she to keep her brand new shoes clean, she paid a passing local 20 Baht to carry her across. By this time Weedeater had called the pack on a trail to the left.
Maew, who was positioned centrally observing the checks, said confidently that it would be to the left – and she was not wrong. This is a good hashing area, which Hashendale said he had opened up for his run some time in the past. Capt Erik said his ex-wife lived in this area and that it was not virgin territory for him. However, unlike Everest, the records will not discern who got to this hashing area first. I can’t fault the run. Good checks, and a nice falsie which brought all the frb’s back to the pack. Lots of shiggy and more water, rice fields, troughs and trenches. Bimbo, who was moving at a pace just below walking, expressed surprise at Pussy Virus taking a short cut across a soggy field of what was hoped to be premium rice. In Bimbo’s opinion, many short cutters end up running further and deservedly end up at the back of the pack. This of course did not happen to Pussy Virus who got well ahead of us all. Frb’s must have made it back just under the hour. Back-markers where coming in much later.
At the circle Spinning Dwarf turned up in what Noriega described as a Baden-Powell outfit. Brown shoes, socks and large khaki shorts. Joylide was admonished for calling the GM an ex-GM (what does she know that we don’t?). George of the Jungle certainly looked anything but an ex-GM, with a fine haircut and bulging thighs as a result of his recent 500 km ride in Laos. Pussy Virus got a bollocking from Hash Hash for splashing dirty water over him as he ran with giant steps through the first lake. Bimbo got a down down for something or other and Hashendale carried on a rather long diatribe in the circle about all the injustices that are heaped upon the intelligent and sensitive Dutch race. Noriega pleaded for a complete ban on Hash Hash performing ever again with a Karaoke machine. But in the end Agent Orange got a resounding POTW for his words of wisdom on saving money - you can defeat vehicle depreciation by keeping your car in the garage and not selling it.
