RA Bruce “Hash Hash” Weeks celebrated
his Birthday in true style with “The” Bangkok Monday
Hash House Harriers last week. Inside information from
the previous Sundays run revealed in the circle that the
hare had a 1:00pm meeting that he could not miss and
that laying the run would be tight. A panic ‘phone call
was made to the GM as he was out laying paper – he could
not get a boat across the river to leave from the
restaurant and could we please go to the wat to catch
the ferry.
By the time we all arrived at the
restaurant the boat was waiting and the hare was back.
Hash Cash extraordinaire “Spinning Dwarf” collected all
the registrations (with one exception) and off across
the river we went. The run started (it normally does
start in case you had not noticed) up river, weaving in
and out of the stilted homes and temples until suddenly
we can to a check, and checked, and checked, and
checked. No paper. What was going on.? Had the hare
forgotten to lay paper? After 10 – 15 minutes some
people went back, some went in what they thought was the
general direction of the run and some remained
scratching their heads. Eventually, the check was solved
with a bit of a short cut and the runners continued.
Back at the restaurant Bimbo’s staff
was sitting at a table trying to sell overpriced
t-shirts looking extremely bored. The shortcutters and
those who gave up started to tuck into the beer and
snacks. The runners arrived back in about an hour or so.
GM called the circle and called in the
hare. The pack called for good run and the hare was sung
the traditional birthday song. GM then welcomed visitors
and one non paying visitor – one of Bimbo’s marketing
department. Bimbo was called in for not registering his
staff while profiting from the event. The GM proclaimed
that the wearing of Asian Pacific Harrier t-shirts was
for the duration of his tenure an offence and all
offenders would be punished. Bimbo’s response was “Oh
good, free beer for my customers”. Cheap Charlie that
his is. Piss mistress “Crash” and first lady “Eat Me”
were dragged in for not remembering to pass out the
splashes. “I’m not their maid” protested “Eat Me”.
RA “Ajarn Kee Maw” continued with the
customary obituary column – nobody had heard of this
week’s stiffs. He then gave “Crash” another beer for her
winning Oscar appearance . Birthday Boy “Hash Hash”
deservedly won “Prick of the Week” from a weak field and
off we went to the restaurant after a brief “social
drinking” session.
The OnOnOn was made more lively by the
Birthday Boy bringing round shots of Tequila for all.
“The Tickler” then generously donated a bottle of Jack
Daniels which we consumed quickly. The evening got more
blurred and slurred. We had a great time. OnOn!
