Run:- 1320 Date:- 7 July 2008.
Location:- Klong Toey Port
Hare:- Jeff R
Scribe:- 4x2Following the pattern of several crap runs in the last few week, this was no exception. Clues such as “I laid the run in chalk and flour and got back about three hours ago, and it has been raining heavily” made several of us nervous. “Don't go in the park by the main gate” was the tip from the hare and off we went. Brilliantly, a private taxi boat had not been organised and we had to share our transport with the local rif-raff despite paying the charge for a charter boat.
We ran up the main road to what is often the first check. No paper, so maybe a check? Paper was found to the left, past the house. A reasonable find, but it was actually in paper, and the ON IN sign was washed away too. The paper actually went straight on, and the hare commented that he laid an “extra blob” the other side of the junction. An extra blob? What's that worth? When you lay paper at uncertain points, you need LOTS of paper, to tell the pack that it is “this way”. So we did the run, or part of it, where we could find paper, in reverse.
We then discovered that the hare laid the run on a motorbike when talking to locals, confirmed by the hare himself. Motorbike? What's wrong with your legs? Taking into consideration the speed of a motorbike required not to fall off, and the frequency of paper marks required for the pack to see it, the hare needs to throw paper from bag to ground very quickly indeed. In fact hand/arm movements at wanking speed would be required to lay a decent trail from a motorbike. Don't do it.
One of the key moments of the evening was Captain Lurch's attempt to reverse his car from the Sanitary Section parking lot. It was not a hard space to get out of. Crash Daly managed a much harder reversal with ease. However, our airplane Pilot finds it easier to maneuver a Boeing 747 than a Honda CRV – strange.
Very few people, maybe only a car full went to the OnOnOn at Suda Restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 14. Several stayed around, drunk The Tickler's beer, whiskey and what ever else was left in his boot. OnOn.
