Last weeks run # 1463 : Hare: Derelict
I arrived 10 minutes late for this run and in my haste to find the start missed a golden opportunity to flatten Hermanus who was sprinting along in the lead. I speed along another km along Sandowne Rd. and hastily halted the chariot in the chariot park alongside other hash perambulators. I then set off in haste after the long since departed hashers.
Not being a dof article I decided the best way to catch the pack would be to inspan some modern communication technology, so I dialled up Suckface while chasing along to the last spot I had seen Hermanus. Suckface answered cheerily a sure sign that he was not in the company of the RA. He rambled on about check 10 near Kelvin Groove, there I was standing on check 2 with nary a soul in sight. He then shocked me still further when he told me he wasn’t even with the runners, He had joined the knitting circle.
They must have been smoking those knitting needles to get to check 10 in 30min, eat your heart out Hermanus who wishes to become the most famous short-cutting bastard of all time at CTHHH (MFSCBOCTHHH), more about this later.
Being the motivated, tough not scared of physical punishment type of hasher that I am (you bastards got my hash handle completely wrong) I was determined to work hard and catch the pack, probably not Hermanus as he wouldn’t be on the trail anyway with his penchant for short cutting, but the pack.
Based on absolutely no information I turned right at check 2 and ran to the end of the street to find it turned away from my intended direction and around a school and canal, blast this bloody Rondebosch town planner. Now I understand the name Rondebosch, it should be round the bush, I went round a few, NO you filthy minded bastards I mean trees.
I arrived on the bank of another bloody canal with a blade wire fence and a field between myself and our esteemed (only because he had a cooler box) hare Derelict.
Now with renewed resolve and motivation I attacked the long winding roads to find a way to that cool nectar of the gods.
I found Derelict very pleased to see me if not a little puzzled that I had not approached from direction he had planned. As soon as he was convinced I was not Boblet as he normally pulls such stunts he happily awarded me a rehydration canister. He informed me the pack and Heranus were still to put in an appearance.
We were greatly surprised to see no sign of Hermanus at the front of the pack as they came into view.
The pack had all finished their rehydration process as Hermanus arrived, he had tried the mother of all short cuts. Shame looks like there’s not much the English have got right lately.
In true whinging pom style he was rabbiting on about pussy misleading him.
The way we saw it she whipped your arse, mmmmm he might enjoy that.
We thanked the hare for his generiosity in awarding Bone Idle a second ‘nectar of the gods”
(Amstel) and departed the booze stop.
Hermanus with his ego in tatters took off more or less straight for the chariots. Pussy, Bone Idle, Gutterguts leaning on Who’s the Boss’s chariot for balance, Blabbermouth and Curry Bum made a more honest effort to follow the well set trail along past Kelvin Groove, the rugby stadium and along the river to the station, then over the bridge and back to the chariot park.
Here we found Hermanus even after short cutting having been beaten by the walkers and the hare.

Sinners:
As a result of his disgraceful conduct and the fact that the English are loosers for more than 3 weeks now it was decided to appoint Gutterguts RA instead of Hermanus for the ceremony.
Just as Bone Idle felt this to be a strategic shift in his favour, Gutterguts lived up to his other hash handle Snake in the Grass (more like Snake in the Gravel) and turned on the innocent Bone Idle and the not so innocent Heranus and punished them for not having their hash tankards present.
Next up: Curry Bum and Koeksuster (you’re the shirt lady?) for No Hash shirts

Last weeks run # 1461.

The story of the run is unknown to me as I was late for the start, exactly one hour late. I had miss read the ‘e’ mail A few minutes after I arrived the knitting circle arrived back with dog fights breaking out when the dog walkers staggered in. Herm-anus failed to win the hash he arrived second behind one of the Puckit family Slowly the panting pack returned in the end we were only short the toilet twins long drop and latreen, may be they were inspecting each others ‘U’ bends.


Ceremony: R /A – Hermanus
Sinners::
Hermanus Boblet arriving late
The puckit family and friends new feet welcome
Blabbermouth The Hare
It was Blabbermouths 20 run set so he was duly enrolled in thje brotherhood with a mug and a ritual downdown.
And several other sinners that I missed along the way.
A spot of good news Blowbeans is away in the U.K. ( hope he returns before I get there}
After the run we retired to the Blabbermouth shack and consumed large quantities of dead animal and cakes.

Last weeks run # 1461 : Hare: HERMANUS


A great sunny afternoon, and ON ON was called by Her-Anus. 10 checks with a booze stop at check 7, and in this area it was not to be a short flat run. So with “Who’s the boss” on my back we went searching. Something must be said about a hashers intelligence when you come across a two way split, and you must go either left or right, and the hashers decide to go straight. Well we were all following Boblet, so I suppose enough said.

It was at this point that the run went up and up and up, and just when you thought it couldn’t go up anymore, well it did. By now though Jan Klein, blodwin leek, Boblet and Helgar, thought the straight and flat route looked a little more enticing so they decided to bash their way along the road.

The rest of us came across the sand dune that would take us over the hill and down towards Sandy bay. It looked easy enough so we off we toddled up the sand dune. Snake Charmer and Doggy Style decided that the dogs would battle in the sand so they led them along a much easier path, hmmm. Eventually we made it to the top, check 7 and booze stop and Heranus brought out the OB’s, which even Potty, who has just turned 16, was only to keen to dive into. A great view but after having been sand blasted it was decided to head on back. At least this part was easy, downhill all the way.

Next Sunday we are celebrating Blabbermouths 20th run and Koeksuster’ birthday so there is a bring and braai afterwards at blabbermouths pad.

Thanks for the good run

Ceremony: R /A – Blabbermouth
Sinners::
Hermanus: Hare
Latrine: Co-hare
Snake charmer: Heavy panting, or rather the dog, like master like dog
Gutterguts and Boblet: Sick and sick, or dumb and dumber
Snake Charmer: Shit shirt, that heavy panting stuff.
Latrine: New shoes, supposedly, well they looked new enough.

THE RUN THAT WAS.
Gargoyle stated only nine checks and booze stops. 5pm and the run started with Gutterguts leading the pack on a long falsie to Constantia. Koeksuster found the trail and all headed down toward lower Constantia. Many walking
wounded on this run, from Pussygalore with numb feet ( numb in the brain), Heranus, crook ankle, Blabbermouth, recovering from a verble battering by Easy Rider and Boblet stricken by short man syndrome.
This motley crew was chided thru the run by Gargoyle jnr who perched atop his bike hurling abuse. Your time will come you little shit!
Check 5 booze stop and Gargoyle produced a vile green brew, a left over from the Halloween Party and insisted all must drink. All did drink and it tasted KAK!
Longdrop lead the pack down into Plumstead followed by Tinkerbell, Latreen and Potty and all marvelled at the Plumstead residents who insist this area is Lower Constantia, not Plumstead, BOLLOCKS!
Doggy Style was looking to repeat her bum shaking feat of last week, but could not find an appropriate hill and instead was content to cruise along with Mrs Gargole (TNT).
Check nine was found and all headed home.
Ta to Gargoyle for a nice run, set on his bike.

Last weeks run # 1456 : Hare: Gutter Guts

As far as I recall “The Sound of Music” happened in 1965 or thereabouts. Arghhhh way before my time. But another repeat of the Sound of Music happened on Sunday at 17h00 outside Suikerbossie restaurant. We had Gutterguts like Captain Von tropp leading his many children (condoms never came into play or are we speaking about the used ones Keelover was carrying in her pocket then taking it apart one at a time) over the mountain. Helga (Maria) was given instructions on how to take the rest of the brady bunch on their weary way. Hermanus was given the male big dog the sexless one, as he was being one happy chappie (wonder if he got shagged the previous night. I am speaking about the dog where are your thoughts)

Anyways enough about that, Gutterguts let the runners all do a falsey up the mountain, obviously (run must go up hill). Not where he is concerned. They all gathered first to go down hill then up up and away.

Us walkers were told to follow the path till we reached the top of the trees. There we waited for the runners to appear at check two. At this stage I was very proud of myself. Climbed the mountain without a “sweat”. Yip ready to go further. Did some bundu bashing with trees hitting poor Snot Goblin in the face (inconsiderate dad). Then the worst part of all we had to walk single file up to the top of the mountain to check 4½ and then played the waiting game. We waited for the runners, while Blowbeans contemplated on how to get rid of Thunderthighs. He wanted her to give us all a demonstration of how far she would fall if she fell down the mountainside. (Damn these men think they can live without women, they are mistaken. check who wrote the letter)

After the regroup at check 4½ the runners continued up and over the mountain, we walkers had to go back the same way. Here the fun began. Slip sliding all the way to the bottom. Once all of us were confident that we could stand we continued on our merry way at this stage shaggy dog decided to show us how she could skate and promptly landed with a loud bang on the ground (like everyone said must have been 6 on the richter scale) and low and below 30 sec later her’s truly also lands on her bottom. We then returned to the chariots to await the runners. Slowly but surely they started returning and true to form Hermanus complaining. The dog was dragging him around and into the only stream that was on the mountain.

Once again the Mountains echoed the songs close to our heart when the RA promptly declared the following as sinners

Ceremony: R /A – Hermanus
Sinners::
Hermanus For complaining
Gutterguts setting the run
And several other sinners that I missed along the way. Aah remembered Curry Bum gave the Shit Shirt to Blowbeans for toasting the Sharks that won the curry cup final. Blowbeans in turn passed it on to Latrine as he would be away for the following few weeks

Last weeks run # 1456 : Hare: SNAKE CHARMER

Another weekend with a good turnout of hashers. All gathered at the top of Rubbi road and then at exactly 5 pm On On was called and we were informed that there were 11 checks with a booze stop at check 6. It seemed pretty obvious that there was only one route and that was up, and when in doubt go up. Well that all proved to be correct and up we went. Checks 1 to 5 came quickly and before long we came to check 6 at the top of the hill and what a magnificent view, cold Amstel beers all lined up and ready to be drunk, what a view. Some comments were passed about the big dam below and how small things looked etc but then, in the distance, long after the walkers had arrived, did Hermanus hobble in. This must be some sort of a record.

From here there was only one way and that was downhill, so off we all went, the walkers heading back the way we came and the runners on a different route. Check 7 was at the bottom of the hill and from here we headed towards the beach. After a short spell on the beach we headed back on to the road and headed for home.

On arrival Gargoyle had already started the boerie rolls but we packed it all up and headed for Snake Charmers pad for the On On.




Ceremony: R /A – Hermanus
Sinners::
Hermanus: For coming in at check 6 really late.
Blabbermouth: For remembering to bring beans for the boerie rolls.
Snake charmer: For starting the run at exactly 5 pm, making Hermanus seem late.
Fucket Brother1 (Destressed) and Sarah (our English student) for coming in really fast at the end of the run
Doggy Style: A sprinting walker, now there’s an oxymoron for you.
Visiting foot: Destressed’s wife, who could not drink alone so she had Doggy style help her.
Curry Bum: For taking a short cut at a split
Blowbeans: The real reason I have forgotten but he was getting excited at snake charmers dog’s having a sexual go for one another. Now here was an interesting thing, Molly, the small black female dog was trying to jump this big male dog (the name escapes me). Snake charmer I think a bit of sexual education is necessary.

After the ceremony we had a raffle for a bottle of wine, cherries soaked in Vodka, which was won by Blabbermouth and a chocolate cake, won by Blowbeans, which was enjoyed by hash.

Last weeks run # 1455 : Hare: JAN KLEIN
A good turnout for a good run… I must admit I always have a quiet giggle at the runners who have sooooo much to say about the knitting circle and then get injured (Hermanus) or have done a 21km run in the morning (Long Drop & Keel Over) or are now just passed it (Gargoyle) and ”have” to join the knitting circle – See we do exercise and yes some confidential issues are discussed (no Long Drop I will not drop you in the poo we do stick to our doctor/patient confidentiality clause) – enough said!

It was good to see old holidaying hashers making the run (Lefty & Rhona) and the returning foot of Tinkerbell after his appendix was removed a month or 2 ago. So onto the walk…. Peter Pan & Blodwynleek set off at a good pace up the hill away from the Stone Church outside Kirstenbosch after being told by the hare that he did not suggest that the knitting circle follow the runners as he had set the run on his bicycle….

Herm-anus, subjected to the knitting circle due to his tendon injury was chatting away with Gargoyle, while Long Drop was intrigued by the various girl talks including Jagsmeisie’s explanation as to why long Snot Goblin’s fine hair took to dry, Keel over was gloating over having beaten Long Drop by 4 minutes but that could have been due to the fact that he had indigestion from having rushed his porridge in the car as they had set their alarms an hour later than they thought! Doggy Style, Hermanus & co pondered over whether an overseas report that SA was now in a recession was correct and the men seemed far happier to be discussing economic issues that female problems, other conversations about cars were blandished about but I did not take any notice of those…. The runners were seen WALKING up a further hill in the direction of Jan Klein’s old pad and then our paths crossed again a short while later.

In no time at all we crossed into the muddy paths of the green belt area and were shown the wonders of nature in spring. Blodwynleek was heard commenting about the array of colourful flowers along the pathway to Rhona & Peter Pan. Snot Goblin coped very well and would not have assistance even on muddly inclines which had Herm-anus worried about his ankle and Mikhail complaining about his knee…

The walkers arrived back at the chariots about 5-10minutes before Lefty was seen striding in at least 2-3minutes ahead of the pack (of course claiming that he had not short-cutted – yeah right!) Slowly the muddy, motley bunch all arrived back and hastily climbed into their chariots to race down to “chez a la Small” as the braai awaited.

It was nice to have the gourmet hashers join us (Easy Rider, who’s the boss & Bakers oven) and a festive mood continued while much beverage & kos was consumed to celebrate and commemorate the 50th run set by the one & only Jan Klein.

Thanks to Blodwynleek & Jan Klein for their hospitality and allowing us to through your shoes in the pool…..

PS – All hashers in possession of tankards were given a free drink… so bring yours along you never know when this will happen again.

The weekend that was….



Dutchcap and I set off at 10am on Friday morning for a leisurely drive to Beaverlac with great anticipation for our annual Hash winter weekend away. The views along the way were stunning and the last 4 kms of road was as treacherous as promised.



On arrival we are surprised to see that Bullwanker and Tracy are already there with 4 dogs(Vicky, Rusty, Marty and brain-dead Tiffany) in tow.



The size of the huts was small, but warm and anyway we were only sleeping there as the rest of the time we were definitely going to have fun.



Hashers arrived in drips and drabs with Longdrop and keel over arriving and the very last was the Mills family with the chicken soup and sherry. We started the party way before then with the veggie soup and beer like any good hasher. The party was then extended when the sherry and chicken soup arrived.



Saturday morning we woke to a glorious sunshine day. The sherry gave Bullwanker the hangover she bitched about all day, while Her_anus, Blabbermouth, Latreen and Graverobber set off to make sure we have a run worthy of the beautiful venue. As the morning wore on everyone else made their way to the waterfall for some serious R&R.



The run started at 2pm-ish with very few dressing up for the cowboy theme. Yours truly had my swanky red cowgirl hat, gun belt and pistols ready for action. The chocolates I won for best dressed are wonderful.



The run started out as a leisurely walk and the walkers did most of the run as well. Check 5 was a sherry re-group. Keel over and Currybum continued their longstanding flirtatious affair of dunking each other in water. With a little help from Koeksuster, Currybum went head first into the water and lost my pistol (it did not float – what type of plastic does not float!). Somehow Boblet who was missing in action for most of the run appeared as a front runner..?



Just before check 8 Blabbermouth decides to walk over fences instead of opening them nicely and closing them again behind him. Needless to say the fence was destroyed. Check 8 is where the annual egg throwing competition was resurrected by Her_anus. 9 pairs of hashers started tossing an egg or two. It was promptly decided that it is far more fun to toss the eggs at our hare.



The trail then wound its way to the water-up (not waterfall) spout. From there everyone followed the path above the true waterfall and a trail was blazed down to cross the river. Boblet was almost swept away by the river when he tried to save ‘no brain with brawn dog’ Tiffany. A few hashers went for a final swim in the river (Keel over, Longdrop, Currybum, Koeksuster), while Gutterguts and Graverobber showed us all how it is done by jumping off the top of the cliff over the waterfall to the river below – very impressive guys.



Our RA was cold and wet and we waited for absolute ages to start the ceremony while she warmed herself up…



Sinners:

Gutterguts – forgetting down-down mugs

Helgar – shite directions to Beaverlac

Her_anus – hare

Latreen, Blabbermouth, Brave robber – co-hares

Boblet – missing on trail and then getting to the front somehow?

Underdog – walking on the run with shite excuse of carrying Alyssa

Keel over & Koeksuster – child abuse of Currybum

Bone Idle – why not

Jagsmeisie – hat in circle

Dutchcap – she doesn’t drink beer on a run. Why else do we run?



The RA then dipped her filthy slops into the large tankard to stir the brew inside.

Gutterguts and Her_anus share this tankard for their 50th and 75th runs set respectively.



Bone Idle & Blabbermouth share the large shorts for shortcutting

Longdrop – forgot shit shirt & drinks from our little red toilet

Easy rider – knocked drinks over on run with an egg

Rancid Scotty Weasel Piss – no hash shirt and did not pitch for the run



Tracey gets hash handle – Doggy style



Boblet – for attempting to drown while saving a dog

RA – for bringing dogs that drown Boblet

Boblet – for not making sure hash drinks are cold



The fires were then lit to start the 3 potjies for supper. Gutterguts you outdid yourself. Jagsmeisie said she would drive to Beaverlac any day for your potjie again. It was really good. The rice, salads and desserts went down rather well with our 3 potjies.



The annual Award ceremony was held quickly before we could indulge into the supper.

Firstly down-down were awarded to Latreen and Her_anus for sleeping and being late.

Scribe of the year – Derelict

Graverobber bravely volunteered to have the down down on Derelict’s behalf

Hashette of the year – Thunderthighs

Hasher of the year – Boblet – he has never missed a run

Run of the year – Koeksuster

Spirit of Hash – Gutterguts



The new committee is as follows:

Hash master – Boblet (receding hareline)

On Sec – Keel over (send your newsletters to her to distribute weekly)

Haberdash – Koeksuster (this has gone back to its original function as T-shirts, socials and weekend away organization)

Mountain Goat – Snake Charmer (to arrange quarterly hikes for all interested)

Web Wench – Easy Rider (to maintain website)

Hash kos - Blabbermouth - the odd Sunday boerie rolls, etc.

Hash cash – Gutterguts (the booze)

Grand master – Helgar ( Oh great ruler of all Cape town hash)

Religious Advisor – Her_anus (down-down giver)



After supper, the whiskey club made their appearance and stayed up late tasting their supplies.

As it was our winter weekend away the weather obliged and we woke up Sunday morning to rain. Keel over and Longdrop got such a ‘skrik’ when they saw the weather they did an early morning duck home. You missed out big time on breakfast.

The ‘die hard’ run was an arranged trek to the new GM’s hut where the champagne breakfast was absolutely yummy. Vicky those flapjacks were great!



Pussy galore 2. We missed you. We know you were sick and could not make it at the last minute, but you would have had a great time and really missed out on a great relaxing weekend. You have a run in 2 weeks remember please.
