Run 1495
THE “CHRIS LEWIS MEMORIAL” RUN
Monday: 25th February 2007
HARES:George and Colon Bowel
ON BACK: Maison George & Brooke

THE RUN
About 50 Hashers from both the AUH4 and Mainland Hashs joined forces to remember a former Hasher – Chris Lewis
The Motley crew assembled on the sand lot near Georges home and most followed instructions (now there’s a first) to wear a funny hat and there were some funny hats. One wore a giant condom aka rubber glove and resembled the cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn. Fortunately Colon Bowel had a supply of Scottish wig hats & the run was dominated by lookalike Scots
All miserable sinners were called so George could issue instructions and rally the troops The AUH4 GM OOZE ‘EE was missing in action as were many Hashers of both persuasions. Seconds later the aforesaid made a cameo entrance – a BLAB again! Disappointingly this run followed a trail not the usual rowt! Many Hashers said they preferred a good rowt.
There were 2 blue circles for short cuts, 3 circles with x’s were false trails, hazards were buses and 2 major roads as His Highness – I still think we should have had a rowt – it’s much easier
Off they went like starving ants looking for a grain of food. Horrible to see it was!
They braved the roads, cold, darkness, and lack of chalk or anything. There weren’t many chalk marks, lots of long false trails and check backs (even the Hares lost count) which even had the knitting circle in tow on several occasions until they became immediately lost and easy to find check back marks (well there were a lot of them) no crossing of any major roads, a little traffic, almost no soft sand, and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail (five minutes after we started).

THE RUN – VERDICT
No chalk – too cryptic “No rowts -10” Chalk -2: Soft sand +5: walkers trails 0: Length just right 10:; No major roads -5: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; too much ocean; bimblers got lost -6; too much fresh air not enough false trails; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.31

THE HARES
Despite immense verbal pressure from several chatterboxes and lack of respect for the GM’s, HM ‘Ooz ‘Ee got the gathering underway and gave down-downs

VIRGINS

REPAIRED VIRGINS
Vlad the Impaler, Katrina and John made a first for a while appearance and are deemed repaired virgins

The GM, Ooze EE had several charges
•

The RA, Dancing Queen proceeded to pick on numerous innocent Hashers
• Mira “couldn’t run tonite because of her hair”
• Hernia for the quote of the year “chalk marks should be like sex, a little and often – not one big one very rarely”
• Tiffany for letting a virgin wear new shoes
• Wendy for making a disgraceful entrance to last Fridays Hash champagne brunch and falling over when she arrived when she was still sober. Don’t all Hashers know you fall over at the end of a session of Imbibrination

SOME POLITICALLY INCORRECT HUMOUR
A Mother had 3 daughters.
They were all getting married within a short time period. Because Mom was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started, she made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on how marital sex felt.
The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but: "Nescafe"!
Mom was puzzled at first, but then went to her kitchen and got out the Nescafe jar.
It said: "Good till the last drop”.
The second girl sent the card from Vermont a week after the wedding, and the card read: "Rothmans" Mom now knew to go straight to her husband's cigarettes, and she read from the pack: "Extra Long. King Size" She was again slightly embarrassed but still happy for her daughter.
The third girl left for her honeymoon in Cape Town. Mom waited for a week, nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. Then after a whole month, a card finally arrived.
Written on it with shaky handwriting were the words "South African Airways" Mom took out her latest YOU magazine, flipped through the pages fearing the worst, and finally found the ad for SAA.
The ad said: "Ten times a day, seven days a week, both ways."
Mom fainted!
