HASH TRASH 26/8/07

NEXT WEEK'S HIKE: led by Grave Robber, 9am Rhodes Memorial, bring a packed lunch as the hike is to be followed by the run from Rhodes Memorial at 2 PM, ie. 14h00, that is NOT 16h30 as usual…

Apart from the lunch bring sticks, knives and guns, water, sunscreen and snakebite kit (for those that don't know this is lager + cider + blackcurrant, guaranteed to kill all snakes as I, Snake Charmer, am in a perfect position to know).



Next Wednesdays run: I wasn't really listening but I think it was Pirates, if this is wrong will someone please send out a correction :-)



Now, the run… as I had entered the epic Peninsula Ultimate Fun Run, affectionately known as PUFfeR the day before, I joined the ranks of the walkers. OK, so not that I finished this 80km run, or indeed even started it, as I stuffed my back up a few days before which wouldn't have been so bad but it wasn't even doing something pleasurable… now I have 2 entries but no starts, perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here, maybe I should stick to Hash runs as they all seem to be a piece of piss – for example, on this particular run I saw Grave Robber break into a short run once but apart from that all I saw was walking.



Having struggled through a torrential downpour to get to the run, at great risk to life and limb, I was thinking of sitting in the car for an hour while the run took place, but as I had the Mutley Crew with me I was compelled to get out of the car and shake a leg – and the rain had stopped.



So off we all toddled, with 1000 rabbit hutches on the left and scenic power cables on the right; black sky overhead completed the dreary scene. Does Hermanus really live in this god forsaken country? No wonder he is such a w*n#%r.



The highlight of the run/walk was a small (and I mean small) shot of OBS somewhere by a cesspool in the middle of Mordor. Hermanus actually had a decent beer in his backpack for a change, fine Pilsner Urquell, but Flo guzzled it all before I got so much as a sniff.



What else can I tell you about the run? Bu**er all, 'cos I turned back, slipping through the mud the same way as we had come.



Circle sinners:



Runners, or pretending they were: Gutterguts, Boblet, Grave Robber

Hare: Hermanus

New foot walker: Koeksuster

Can't remember why: Blodwyn Leek

Hermanus: BEATEN BY A WALKER

Dutch Cap: urinating discreetly behind a hillock so no hashers could see, but exposing all, right under the eyes of a couple of African gentlemen who were watching from nearby

SHIT SHIRT Snake Charmer aka Bull Wanker was most unfairly awarded the shit shirt by Grave Robber for not managing to even start that ridiculous – only 80km – run mentioned earlier, you wait GR, I'll catch you on the TMC and throw you down the mountain (like the tortoise caught the hare, didn't it?)
