Run:- 1298 Date:- 4 February 2008.
Location:- Wat Samaragote, Taling Chan
Hare:- Spinning Dwarf
Scribe:- ?Spinning But Not Dwarf. We'll get to that later.
I guess about 20 souls gathered just off Ratchapruek at Wat S under overcast skies.. Noriega looking downtrodden as the hare had chosen the sight of his forthcoming BH3 run. There were only two women? Golden Shower and Hungry Bum. Was I at the right run? Was It Friday? I was and maybe the hare or AKM or Noriega or …had scared away all the women. Maybe Normal is getting to officious with the catering and beer pouring duties? The GM called a circle and then the real GM told him not to be silly and just get on with it. "Why are you running that way"? Asked the hare pointing in the opposite direction. [Clever that as we were about to run it backwards.]
Down the road we plodded. Much confusion at the beginning as a late coming Tastes Great drove by, but in the end we found the trail in a driveway hidden behind a house. Much running down concrete paths later we crossed over the railway tracks, more confusion as we milled around looking for paper. "This railway looks unused" quipped Love Canal. Eventually over the railway bridge and on on. At this point the front runners were running down the centre of the tracks. TRAIN yelled Love Canal laughing. Off the racks onto the laterite road. What's that noise? Yes it was a train. LOL
Now the run got interesting on orchard, Bang Kruay-like trials. Here we came to what was probably the talking point of the run a large-ish tree trunk bridge with no rial. Oops spelling. What I mean is it had no supports for balancing and not no Iranian money. Next to the bridge was a concrete bridge partially submerged. KC plunged in and ran through the water, as did AKM who doesn't like heights. As AKM was wading across Tastes Great who had caught up and doing his Blodin impersonation fell onto AKM. AKM of course described the incident as Steve being caught at Silly Mid Off. (AKM please note correct geometry) This was all happening as the front runners were on the other side of yet another klong going back the way we had all run. Very clever that.
The trail wound it's way through more orchards over yet more klongs through more wats and back to the A point. About 9-somethin kms. I arrived at the beer truck to find everyone stood in a children playground with AKM rotating on a playground roundabout. He was imploring everyone (Barbie) to stop spinning it, which or course we did after having given it some "assistance" in the right direction. AKM then tried to stand up and showed us why he doesn't work for NASA or teach at the Top Gun academy. Normal was busy doing her on site cattering, little sandwiches with the crusts still on. Tut,tut not up to tea with the vicar standards.
Usual circle stuff ensued. The Virgin Greg was favourite with the audience of kids who gave him his 4th down-down of the night. The second and third being for running in sandals and walking on water. POW went to the new father Bad Boy Bobby (hope that is right) for knowing far to much about martial arts TV and for having spawned another retirement provider.
The On On was a restaurant which we could either walk 400m to in the rain or drive 4kms to get to. I would have got a ride back with Frank but KC had all his FCKUING luggage in the car so I went back to town with Bumbo.
(Summary)
Number of runners: Average. Ash Hash Hash wasn't RA, neither Dunkin Donut nor Bog fell over, Noriega didn't expose himself, neither KC nor Lunchbox got POW, The Bug wasn't first back to the beer, Jeannine didn't stay for the circle, The Linda Brothers (c) didn't go to the On On On, Normal didn't give a handsome young visitor a ride back to town. So all in all a normal well laid run enjoyed by all.
