FOOTPRINT
The official organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4
Hashing is a state of mind- a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor."
Stray Dog (From the Global Trash Hash Bible complete reference for the Hash House Harriers)

THE “BETWEEN 2 BRIDGES ” RUN
Monday: 30th April 2007
HARES: George with an E on the end and Brooke with an E on the end
ON BACK: the Timmins-Taulelei villa
THE RUN
This was another run where hoards of Hashers showed up despite the location at Brooke & George's (with 2 e's) villa being off the Island "Between the Two Bridges"! Brooke explained that George had been detained due to the "w" word, and that 'Ooz 'Ee would stand-in to keep up with the front-runners (he couldn't even keep up with Brooke!!!). There were lots of blue arrows and two fat blue arrows to show important short-cuts for the walkers. Hashers then circumnavigated much of BTW, and saw some water and a bridge (but not one of the two!).
New Hare-raiser, Dancing Queen announced that to show a good example, he would be setting next week's run, starting near his and Hash Flash's villa. By the way, Hash Flash now has a new camera, so we know who will get a down-down next week if it isn't in action...
HM reluctantly congratulated the Hashers without birth certificates on winning the cricket world cup, and announced that even better than shortening the competition by 7 or 10 days next time, the ICC would drastically cut the time it would take for Australia to win by simply giving them the cup at the start!
HASH SOCIAL announced that the she was collecting final contributions for the Dhow & Dinner trip on 3rd May. [There are still places available and it is possible to attend just the dinner for 100Dhs - ED]. There was also some talk of a Welsh Society do at the club
THE RUN – VERDICT
The hares (and stand-in hare) were called into the circle, and amid repeated nattering offences by groups of Hashes, a vague evaluation of the run involved a score of 12 being disqualified, which left only one alternative...9.31. The down downs involved more natterers than hares, with the Songmasters using a completely new repertoire, at last giving most Hashers an excuse for not singing.
VIRGINS -
There were the usual raft of virgins including Liquor Hard (Nora) visiting from Kabul, Pulque Mirage (Bonnie) who's name derives from some foreign sort of tequila (isn't tequila foreign?), CJ and daughter Ciara (with a C that's pronounced like a K, which HM consistently mis-pronounced), and Andrea from somewhere in the States.
The GM, Ooze ‘EE
HM announced there would be a new committee position to coordinate transport to the Hash for those that don't have any, with those who do, and taxis etc. Romany was announced as the new "Hash Wheels". If you need a ride to any Hash, please contact her (romanyjoseph@yahoo.com).
Initially a Hash Water committee would be formed to relieve some of the pressure from Kangaroo keg. Several volunteers with booze licences were required to collect the drinks on a roster basis, so Please volunteer. Details will follow
Ooze ‘EE then had several charges ?HM had planned to ask how much it would take to get the signs back in use, but How Much had finally brought them, though you only saw them once you reached the car park - well the Hashers that reached the car park did! Anyway How Much (is that doggy in the window) got a down-down and we got a song most people knew.
The RA
HM then handed over to Kangaroo Keg who was stand-in RA for the night.
- Couldn't do the Auzzies as HM had done them...
- 'Ooz 'Ee & Pashmina for having some sort of a bust up
- Hats in the circle
- Matt doing press-ups
- Vlad the Impaler for showing up on time (she had to as she'd requested a later start time the week before)
THE TUCKER
A wonderful spread of shawarmas, pickles, dips and stuff was just enough for the crowd - there may even have been a couple of shawarmas left for George, who returned from w*** just as the last hashers were leaving.
Don’t forget to look up the AUH4 website. Many thanks to Sheila for putting so much effort into a GREAT website - and check out any incriminating photos of yourself!!

SOME POLITICALLY INCORRECT HUMOUR
Patrick, who was on holiday from Ireland on Bondi beach couldn't seem to make it with any of the girls. So he asked the local lifeguard for some advice. ??Mate, it's obvious," says the lifeguard, "you're wearing them old baggy swimming trunks that make ya look like an old geezer They're years outta style. Your best bet is to grab yourself a pair of Speedos - about two sizes too small and drop a fist-sized potato down inside 'em. I'm tellin' ya mate...you'll have all the babes ya want!" ??The following weekend, Patrick hits the beach with his spanking new tight Speedos, and his fist-sized potato. Everybody on the beach was disgusted as he walked by, covering their faces, turning away, and laughing, looking sick! ??So Patrick went back to the lifeguard again and asked him, "What's wrong now?" ??JAHEESUS!" said the lifeguard, ??"Mate. The potato goes in front!"
