A relatively small pack (considering the auspiciousness of the occasion) assembled just over Rama 5 bridge for Run no. 1111. Several hashers had foolishly followed the misdirections and were waiting at Lung Sangha restaurant. Fortunately Maverick fielded them and directed them to the new run site that the hare had redesignated only seconds earlier. Your scribe arrived a few minutes late and was just in time to capture photographic evidence of the unauthorized mode of transportation used by the hare the set the trail, as above.
Thoughtfully the hare offered useful advice to latecomers on how to solve the first check etc in the form of, “quickly, quickly this way”. Consequently your scribe soon found himself going down a tarmac road with no less than two false trails on either side of it. He eventually recognized it for the double false trail that it was and went back to find the real trail which took him round and round a temple full of the most horrible and dilapidated dogs that had been abandoned there by Frank’s bar girls, as soon as they grew too big to be considered cute little puppies. No less than two more false trails led out of the temple along a stinking sewerage klong but eventually ran out, forcing your scribe to re-enter the temple, narrowly avoiding being savaged by a miserable creature with such bad eczema that the poor beast was practically bald and looked like a black pig (if lethal injections are good enough for small fry drug dealers and cop killers without the proper connections, why not give these poor beasts the same chance?). The trail then led to the compound of a beautiful temple carved from wood in a fanatasical style vaguely reminiscent of Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia.
Again two false trails led round and round the temple with no apparent exit. Finally your scribe tired of slinking round the temple compound looking like a pervert trying to spy on middle aged nuns at their ablutions and did the sensible thing i.e. beat a retreat back the way he had come. Within 5 minutes he found himself running in amongst the FRBs, as the in trail had obviously intersected the out trail and he got back in time to find Acharn Kee Maow complaining that he had fared even worse in asking the hare for latecomer directions which proved incomprehensible in several languages – English, Thai, Lao and Teochew.
Down downs were awarded to: the hare for setting the trail on a bicycle and being incomprehensible; to Wichanee and Tim Daly for fawning all over the obnoxious “Phi Chuwit” (the notorious gangster/pimp who demolished the bars on Soi 10), when he came into Frank’s bar soliciting Bangkok gubernatorial votes from bar girls, which he thought they were; and others that I have forgotten. POTW went to Toy Boy for some reason.
***
On Monday 5 July we had 18 Harriers, 9 Harriettes, 1 new boot and 2 visitors, total = 30. Returners included Peter "Maverick" Laverick. Dodic finally paid his 200 baht joiner fee and now qualifies without doubt as a full-fledged BMH3 member.
