THE RUN
A good turnout by hashers who are not easily
intimidated. Many of those present heeded advice from their embassies and
particularly oil company employers not to go to work that day but to remain in
the safety of their homes. Which they did of course, but the advice did not
extend to staying away from the Hash.
Not
a particularly eventful run, which means not a lot to whinge about. I will
however whinge about the junction where Tom bin Jones and I went one way, and
the FRB’s and rest of the pack went another as they were convinced that we were
on our way to a checkback. As it happened, we were on the trail and the rest of
them were running into the checkback. Great, I thought, we now stood a good
chance of ‘winning’ this non-competitive run because the other silly buggers
were miles behind. Sensing ‘victory’ we got into sprint mode – only to come
upon Vatican Rag. Not a problem, we
thought, as VR is a professional shortcutter. However, having added another two
to his tally (I don’t know what the final number was because he had a strict
curfew on Monday and pissed off before the circle), he then informed us that
about twenty had already passed him. The bastards must have run through the
checkback and cut out a big loop.
For a change we got back before 6.00pm which meant
we could contribute to the run discussion before it actually ended.
THE CIRCLE
Run comments were generally positive, although Pretty Boy considered the run
demonstrated why the Germans came second in the war, due to some good moves but
poor finishing (reference to the crappy kampung trail at the end).
Tarzan gave an in-depth appraisal of the progress of
the war against terrorism. Or maybe it was a run comment; I’m not sure. Anyway,
final verdict, good run.
Magic Dragon took over the duties of MM (again). We can’t let him do this too often; he’s only got about another five hundred songs left in his repertoire. He started off with Forty-two virgins came down from Inverness, a reference to the rewards that await would-be Scottish suicide bombers.
Hares
songs and jokes drew the wrath of RA Konkrete Kock who showed no mercy by
placing the three pensioners, GoBlokM, Witless and Herpes on ice. Actually, I
thought that Herpes’ joke about Mrs.Ghandi was quite funny.
The RA was himself an achiever tonight so having
donned his 400 run shirt, which others had kindly prepared, he entertained us
with a rerun of his Bastille Day hit ‘Thank heaven for little boys.’ Could this
be a hint that he wants us to remember the song when we decide upon the song of
the year award? If so he’d better repeat it closer to the AGM. He also used as
a prop for his song his favourite toy of the day, a vibrator in the form of an
egg-shaped tampon on a piece of string with a battery on the other end.
While there were still a few left in the circle
Magic Dragon treated us to These Foolish Things prior to Swing Low. Don’t know
how many joined the crusade to raid Betty’s Bar. Maybe Witless will edit in the
number [ed: 3 basket chook, 2 hamburgers and ubiquitous nasti goring for 9
hashers].
Also, thanks to United Arab Shipping {Bin Laden et
al} for sponsoring the T-shirts.
FORTHCOMING ATTRACTIONS: Betawi weekend at Carita and Batavia at Sambolo. Contact anyone
but me for more details.
NEXT WEEK’S RUN: Monday, 15 October. A special holiday run starting at 4.00pm.

all the way along Jl.Alterntif, cross the big junction and follow the big signs
to Citra Indah. Site is about five minutes drive into the complex. Allow 40
minutes from Cibubur exit. All hashers and harriettes welcome to join this
run. Not sure about dogs, but you
can bring your bitch. Who said that?
On-on,
Col.B.
