The best thing that can be
said is that it is not just the Japanese that understand the term ’Death
March’. Being one of only six, by my
count, that actually completed the course on paper, I can say that the views
were spectacular from all of the great heights (oxygen bottles would have
helped) that we ascended and descended.
The constant effects of gravity and vertigo from this Himalayan
re-creation would have bought a tear to the eye of Sir Edmund Hillary (probably
a relation of Sheepskins) and I now understand why Gurkas are so fit and have
one leg shorter than the other. I also
hasten to add, prior to having report the actual farce of a run report, that
the beer tent and truck were visible on a number of occasions on the run,
though this was thoroughly outweighed by the grandeur of the scenery.
Now to the obviously
rigged run reports made by either blind, palsied, drunk or a combination of
all, hash members who were selected to provide comment. Vatican
Rag stated that it was a well planned run with the count being 71 divided
by 26 (2.7307692) and then concluded with that all descriptive comment “who
gives a fuck”. Elephant Man then eloquently (for him) stated that he could see the
umbrella, though this is unlikely given that he must have run most of the
course in darkness (Welsh mining habit).
Magic Dragon in a momentary
lapse into of sanity also stated that he saw the umbrella and noted that this
resulted in an automatic ‘Hash Shit’. Witless then added to the report in a
succinct three words “Fucking good run”.
Leaky Dick was then selected
for his unbiased comment which appeared to be that he only saw paper for the
first and last five minutes (same route) which may indicate some short
cutting. Then for some unknown reason Jonsey was asked for his comment and
after due deliberation of Vatican Rags contribution stated ”It was up and down
and he was too fucked to decide”, some in the assembled crowd were a bit
perplexed by Jonseys comments about being too tired. The next to comment was Yoshi
and appeared to center on the abstract Japanese concept of being legless or
helpless. This was followed by another
abstract multi-dimensional concept by Mudguard
which involved the non payment of KKN which resulted in him being lost for
twenty minutes and thus the run designers were “incompetent cunts”, which
though probably true was a bit harsh considering the Everest like proportions
of the run. Colonel Bloodknock then started to comment in a pleasant and lucid
manner, only to be verbally abused by sheepskin in an ungentlemanly manner (a
NZ rugby custom probably), the Colonel however remained composed and merely
commented that if the incompetent Hares could have got the train timetable
right we might have got rid of some of our less popular members
(un-named). He also noted that the tent
was visible on a number of occasions. Tommy the Who then though the sole
purpose of the run was so that he could advance his amorous adventures and the
discussion degenerated into the availability of a certain attractive young lady
observed on the run, though what was to be done with the baby seemed to present
some problems. There was then an
attempt to get the outside view from Bartacus
however he was obviously on drugs and believed the run was good. Clark
Cunt then commented that he didn’t do the run but was doing a
pre-recon. Then in a desperate attempt
to get some sanity in the proceedings Mark
Manderson who had been volunteered top pour the piss was asked to comment
and in one of those once in a life time insights noted that “It was probably a
good run but I had to run with Bolt One On”, to quote a line from Apocalypse
now “the horror, the horror”.
The overall run report
appears to be a great run.
Announcements
Herpes: The Volcano
run is on 15-17/9/00 and the spiritual and moral support is over whelming,
however, financial commitment is lacking.
Yoshi: In another announcement requiring
translation and clarification announced that the children’s run has been set
for 20/9/00.
Nick Leeson: Then
made a very important announcement that the Australian Embassy Ball would be on
16/9/00 at the Regent Hotel from 7.00pm (tickets available from Leonie Flemming
0811993325/Monique Sheehan 0811994119/Jane Waslin 0811993302/Betsy Dixon
0811995235). The proceeds will be used
in may beneficial ways but some of the more important are to help health
projects in Indonesia and provide educational opportunities, otherwise
unobtainable to less well off Indonesians.
Raffle tickets (Rp 50,000 per book) will be available from Nick Leeson
next week with the first prize being two return tickets to Europe on
Qantas.
Songs and
fines
Its not until you have to
record the circle that you actually realise that some of our members have some
serious psychiatric conditions which
would in most normal societies result in their criminal incarceration in
either solitary confinement or a funny white suit. The song selection by Angie appeared to center initially on sexual
intercourse with animals in Block M, then sex with a little bird called ‘Cock
Robin’ and he then went on to express his longings for a cat on a hot tin
roof. The most disturbing aspect of
this behaviour however became apparent during intermissions in his singing when
he kept commenting "Bestialities best boys".
Colonel Bloodknock then
for some unknown reason compared Herpes to Dorian Grey and wanted to wash him
or immerse him, or atleast at some stage a painting of him in water to see his
‘true face’. At this time the circle in
a rare moment of unison and clarity of purpose declared the good Colonel mad
and assumed that it was best not to comment on which type of narcotics caused
him to reflect on the true image of Herpes.
The good Colonel, however, undaunted then went on to relate a joke that
apparently originated in Turkey and appeared to involve some understanding by
women of the depths that men would go to in order to have sexual intercourse,
most of us thought they already knew this though.
Mudguard was then fined
for being a “tight arse cunt” which he denied, however, his protests were in
vain when Tarzan attempted to defend him about the payment of monies to park at
the zoo. The only other fine of note
was that rightly dished out to Super Brat for attempting to leave the circle
early and he was properly iced. Mention
must also be made that Postponed was fined for that most heinous of offences,
that of attempting to shoplift the horn.
Some note should be made
of the Hares songs. It is with great
reluctance that I have to say that Sheepskin bought the house down with his
rendition of “Hashing on a Monday afternoon”.
It was an excellent song (unlike the run) which was both melodic and
descriptive of the Hash. The other
extreme was however displayed by Herpes with his rendition of a Rodney Rude
song involving masturbation and sodomy.
The agreement of the circle was that Herpes should in future tell a joke
as clearly if he ever gave up his day job, singing on street corners was
unlikely to give him an income.
Other singers of note were Mark Manderson who gave a Scottish rendition of ‘yippee yi yo’ which was warmly received by the circle (especially after the Herpes torture). We then, by some quirk of nature were given a politically correct Canadian rendition of their national anthem (I think) by Clark Cunt. This expression of nationalistic fervor was apparently caused by the Canadian governments requirement for diplomatic staff to be bi-lingual in French and or English. The rationale for this in Indonesia escapes me, but there you go.
