Run:- 1303 Date:- 10 March 2008.
Location:- Bang Kruay Bridge
Hare:- Bugs
Scribe:- 4x2The mini-confusion about where the run actually was proved to be inconsequential. A big pack of 39 met at the restaurant on the right, not the left, which has recently turned into a duck & noodle joint. The restaurant on the right looked pretty swanky but it had a huge manicured car park with plenty of space for the hash crowd to destroy.
Many of the crowd were keen to let everyone know how they had managed to buy their own water for the run. Remarkable. Hash Piss arrived in time for the off and was robbed of a few precious bottles before we started.
It is getting near Interhash time so we were blessed (?) with seven or so visitors making a total crowd of 39. Hare Jeff “Bugs” Gaye was joined by Narest in their familiar stomping ground of Bangkruay.
It was a very well laid run. Back runners and mid pack had no difficulty catching up with the FRBs at well laid checks. Lots of nice green Nonthaburi countryside to get lost in. No major problems on the run, and FRBs were back within the hour.
But there was one little problem. The S2H3 – that's the “Sloppy Seconds HHH” not the Siam Sunday, had arrived after the start to follow paper by torchlight. It's a lot easier to do a run when the checks have been broken, harder by torchlight and a lot harder when your running partner decides that he is not going to wait for you. Pussy Virus came in not long after the stragglers, followed by ... nobody. Where was Sebathtion? Lost? The truth was revealed 15 minutes later when Elefsen was into his second beer and a very pissed off Marc Lavoi skulked back to his car, sneered at Pussy Virus, and drove off with his well familiar screech or tyre rubber.
Rule # 1 – Clear up your mess after the circle and don't answer back to your elders.
Rule # 2 – Boys, wait for your bumchums out on the run – they may get lost.Before the circle people were frantically looking for the right receptacle into which to put their empty bottles. The addition of “shower water” added to the confusion.
Neil and Lynda left and the circle was immediately called. The fat man from Azerbayjanisturkmensitanstan decided that he was going to give a song to all 7 visitors. Nice song, shame about the fact that the downdown had to be rerun because BMH3 did not have the chance to sing their boring song. We had one virgin, a Taekwondo instructor who came with Dunkin' Donut – note that he brings a different woman every time. The circle was interrupted by a big greeting between PV and the instructor who had met before.
Third string RA Ajarn Kee Mao seems to have been promoted to #1 RA with the regular absence of Hash Hash and the boycott by Bruised Willy. Maybe he will come out of his Texan shell before the year ends.
POTW went to Dunkin Donut's friend, the Taikwondo instructor.
A good run, circle and on to the OnOnOn in the swanky restaurant where Tui had prepared extra curry and goodies to supplement the food.
