Hash Run 1671
The Run;
December 18 - 16:00 - Another glorious bright clear day in the midst of the rainy season - RA Bloodnock was not there so of course we had marvellous weather. Well marked instructions in both the Jakarta Post and on the road signs to ensure that visitors and new comers could find the site – again showing that emergency hares do it better than those who have weeks to confuse themselves and evrybody else. The drivers were all clustered ready to move out as a TNI look-alike convoy for the point to point until Leaky Dick arrived sans driver to crash through the assembly and bust up the debriefing on where we were going and the confidential short cutters advisories.
We were off down one of the over grown trails which were meant to be the thoroughfares of yet another housing project - I am always amazed at how the wanker-bankers justified lending for these projects as a brief tour by the Hash would have showed them just how overbuilt the Jagorawi was about to become. Well fortunately for the HASH all these plans fell off the rails and we still have decent running country left on Java. This run had it all: verdant rice paddies, trickling streams and bamboo bridges plus pleasant kampungs full of smiling kids who gave their phone numbers to Bolt One ON.
I lost the pack after the crossing of the expressway and linked up with Bolt On who showed me the way. After that it was a series of lost trails and then massive excavation works until we finally got back to the toll booth and ran through without paying. On In to the circle where we joined Rabbi who was trying to show Jonsey the technique of back lighting the Pack against the magnificent sunset. Jonsey's lens is about as big as his member so do not expect miracles.
THE CIRCLE:
Announcements - Bolt One On asked for sponsors and advertisers for the hash Year Book now under production. There were a number of faint expressions of support and it was declared that the project was worthy and all should pay when Bolty gives us the bill. Nick Leeson was called up for drowning Indonesian refugees as soon as his ambassador left the country. Gadget invited the entire pack to come on down to Perth for his ex wife's Boxing Day party. Tarzan made a semi comatose announcement which was immediately interpreted as an attempt to forge a KKN deal with the Asst HM. Ilem mustered up his voice of Allah to announce the Christmas run would God willing take place at the ISCI at 10:00 - unmentionables and kids included - for what we will see. All wondered when was the last time the Turks invited the Christians over for Christmas with the wife and kiddies.
Carol Singing - excellent with all in great voice - Einstein (my driver) actually thought it was an evening church service. The RA administered downdowns to those who refused to join in the singing and to those who were and were not wearing his Christmas colours - hot pink and black.
SuperBrat's rendition of the 12 days of Christmas was only slightly better than his now infamous 12 Caronas. Elephantman was brilliant as Operaman singing AsoaMiaoh. Magic Dragon was into comfort and joy while Leaky Dick gave us a description of where a Banshee likes it set to carol music.
Opinion of the Run - Fanny unintelligible. Nick Leeson - "SORRY about the illegals and the run - all in all a good emergency run". Sheepskin – great run. Rabbi - "on the edge between disaster and brilliant." But he then lost all the continentals antipodeans and Japanese in references to Robbie Burns.
(Yoshie - "who he")
ON ON at the Ikan Bakar - still a great hash eatery. And back to jakarta - with five shopping days left to Christmas.
(Kudos to Super Brat and Elephant Man who do not need long lead times to put together a good emergency run.)
