"Good Run" says Sheepskin

Ad De Leeuw was back able assisted by Bolt-1-On and Simply Fred. The run was very similar to last week.

Sentul Services Provides Free Entertainment

The Circle was hardly placed in a discrete corner of the car park at Sentul Services. Despite the persisting rain, the proceedings were witnessed by several bemused and confused travellers, locals and/or traders. Starting a little late, the Hash Master set out to chastise many Hashers for misdemeanours, the first being RA Herpes for allowing the rain to persist. He was duly iced whilst the proceedings continued. Pretty Boy told his story about the Irishman who followed the directions in last week’s Jakarta Post and went to the wrong site. Having found out where the site was by using his mobile phone, on arriving there, nobody was there either (by this time the Irishman was getting paranoid – did the Hashers not like him?) The explanation was in fact simple as the Jakarta Post’s directions were in fact wrong and the run was a point-to-point and the Irishman arrived too late – everyone had left, including the Hares. The Irish man was of course Pretty Boy himself.

We were without Hash Trash this week as Jonesy was ill – was it the steak and nags from last week? In any case he will be pleased to know that Dr Budi has relocated to Central Plaza according to the Jakarta Post, although the telephone numbers do not work according to Sheepskin – how would he know??!

By the way, in case anyone is interested, the run was reasonably good despite the rain which got progressively worse – what do you expect in the rainy season. The trail started off out the back of the Service area, not the usual way and meandered around kampong, crops and tracks with a couple of checks. The indication was that this would be a lefty with a loop going back north but the Hares had in fact come back round to the toll road to the south of the services. The trail crossed a bit of lunarscape before hitting a challenging bamboo bridge across a raging torrent – too challenging for this scribe who made a shortcut back to the toll road to find paper disappearing under the toll road at the very point where the road crossed the same raging torrent. The trail then proceeded back north along tracks with a couple of simple loops back to the pedestrian bridge and back to the Services. The last part of the run was somewhat boring – too much road and kampong but overall, a good run. There were 33 Members, one new member and one visitor.

Anyway, back to the circle. This run should have been next week we were told to commemorate Waitangi Day – trust a Kiwi to point this out – but had been hijacked by our Chinese friends to celebrate the Chinese New Year. To punish them for this – sorry – reward them, our Chinese runners were brought into the Circle for a DD – Jungle Fucker, MGM, Botkasan (?) and Colonel Bloodknock (???). During the roll call for DDs for the returners, Stretch was called in but no one had seen him arrive let alone return. DDs were awarded to Tom Jones and Botaksan, both blaming each other for the cock-up.

Our soon to be "Father of the Bride" Vatican Rag very kindly sponsored a barrel. At last we were into singing mode with Crusty Nuts singing "S and M Man" at which point the circle seemed to shrink. The Scribe got a DD for last week’s sheet focusing on fashion and was able to demonstrate a dramatic improvement in Hashers attire this week with fashions modelled by Botaksan (complet with umbrella hat), Witless Wanker and Next Week, the latter wearing an excellent polo shirt which he obtained on a run at which Bob Coombes was Hare and the Scribe co-Hare. Tarzan had a new horn that looked more like a sexual aid for Bionic Woman. MGM was presented with his 450 run mug. Bolt-1-On tried to start a hate campaign against Hash Flash who had not witnessed his co-Hares song which was actually sung by Vatican Rag. At-the-Loo sang "Bye, Bye Blackbird" and Herb pissed on the sacred Hash ice!!! Has this ever been known in Hash history – a former Hash Master relieving himself on the ice! Would the assembled crowd of locals appreciate his defiling the ice which they intended to use for their drinks? Undeterred the Cicle continued though rapidly dwindling – could this be due to the lack of an On-On at or near the run site – future Hares, please note. VR was obviously on form as he then sang "If only I’d done the Things….".

And at that point, the Scribe packed in his struggle to write notes against the elements whilst balancing a pen, sheets in plastic folder, beer mug and cigar. The Circle continued on well past the appointed hour of closing with beer appearing from no-where – had VR sponsored two barrels without telling anyone? Those that were brave enough went on to TGs for the On-On whereas I went home.
