Run:- 1270 Date:- 23 July 2007.
Location:- Tokyo Joes, Sukhumvit Soi 26
Hare:- George "of the Jungle" Morgan
Scribe:- MargieThe 23 July Monday night hash kicked off from Tokyo Joe's on Soi 26. This run was a birthday hash for George "...of the Jungle" Morgan. As all hares do, George wasn't quite truthful about the length of the trail. He said it was 7K, when it was actually more like 9K. Unfortunately, I only saw the first few checks, having got lost on trail myself. When I last saw the pack (somewhere around Soi 20 between Rama IV and Sukhumvit, check #4 I think), they SEEMED to be on trail.
However, Ajaarn Khee Mao came from around the corner running in the opposite direction of where they had just headed.
Me to AKM: Hey, why are you backtracking? Weren't you just on trail?
AKM: No
Me: But I saw about 5 people run in the direction you just came from.
AKM: They, like about 80% of hashers, are absolute idiots, and they have no idea where they're going.
And with that, he ran down a Soi to my left and disappeared.From behind me then came Senator (or the Senator as I like to refer to him).
Me to the Senator: I just saw Ian and he said that's not the trail.
Senator: I know, but it's the way back. (note to self: Senator is often off-trail and is probably not the best person to follow.)
So who's a hasher to believe? Going against my better judgment of never trusting a politician, I followed Senator. And was I right? Well, maybe you should ask the hashers who WERE on trail and had to catch the Ploenchit BTS to get back to Tokyo Joes!Interestingly enough, there were alot of unanswered questions on this hash: Like, was it a trail mix-up that Golden Shower and a visitor returned about an hour later than the pack on the back of a motorcycle? Hmmm, hard to say, knowing that G.S. seems to get herself into trouble whenever she's anywhere NEAR Sukhumvit - and this time she was with a SEX TOURIST (visitor)!
After the run, the Birthday Hare received many (well-deserved!) down-downs. Unfortunately, he never got one from the Religious Advisor, Noriega, who was missing in action, showing up after the circle was over, looking freshly showered and coming from the direction of the massage parlor next door.
There was other drinking during the circle for various infractions, a few of which went to hasher Mary (who amazingly looked alot like Hash Hash's girlfriend, Marie!)
The non-runners also got down-downs for crashing the birthday party but missing the run. Stumbles took great exception to the down-down and said that everyone had been invited to the birthday bash by the hare - who then had to drink AGAIN.
Hash Tits of the Week went to 4X2 for being a motorcycle taxi wannabee in his bright orange vest.
And I personally thought that Tickler should have gotten a down-down for his new shoes. Granted, his "new" shoes were about 10 years old, but have you seen the taped-up ones that he normally runs in?
The best part of the hash was after the circle, though. It was George's birthday, but WE got the presents - free food at the on-on-on! Thanks, George. Hope your birthday was fun! On-on!
