Monday’s run was an A to B set by another Peter – Haycox
to be exact. It’s direction was known as the destination was Noriega’s
fine establishment at the end of that soi where the ‘boys’ have their names
on their t-shirts. Many of their customers must have bad eyesight.
Having been delayed by some business, I made it to the B
site after Dodik and the forever young KC were relaxing and recounting
their experiences. Soon the great Lunchbox appeared. He started to
complain about something. I guess he was forced to shortcut as he knew the
shortest way to Noriega’s once he entered Lumphini Park. I said “Hey, it’s
Christmas man. We don’t want to hear it.” Others arrived, Stretch with
his daughter. Another Frenchman – hasher from deepest Africa – visitor on
a guided sex tour. He used the hash is a new way – leaves the wife and
kids at the hotel saying he’s going on the hash. Returns a few hours later
all sweaty and wasted saying it was a helluva run today. This was the
first of several runs he supposedly had been on. To his credit (I suppose
his trickery on the family is laudable.) he knew how to drink a down down.
With more guys like him the French might have tried to save Paris! Then
again probably not. We all mingled around – French fries, samosas, fried
chicken snacks. Always a pleasant time………..
At some point GM Matt started the circle. Come on guys we
have got to stop ignoring him when he calls a circle, he is the GM after
all. It’s not his fault that he’s short, does not have a commanding voice
and is easy to ignore. Well, then again I suppose it is his fault. The
usual down downs for the Hare – infrequent runner Peter Haycox. Returners
Dodik, KC, Elen, Non Stop, Lecherous and maybe one or two more. No notes
on this thing. The French visitor from Killimonjaro ended up getting
several down downs – always filling his half glass offered to the brim. He
downed them well. Other visitors included Stretch and his daughter,
Gonthier, and maybe a couple more I can’t recall. RA Noriega gave a few
down downs and a most pleasant circle – no Christmas songs were sung –
fortunately. And after social drinking we headed inside for a free On On
on sponsored by the Hare. Well done. A most pleasant Christmas Eve. Merry
Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.
