This was a new A Site for me and I was quite impressed by both the location and the setup by the Belgians, who were hosting today. Apart from the shiggy, which I never like, and the low sun in places, I also enjoyed the run with undulating terrain, sweeping views and a cool breeze. The only hitch was near the end with lost paper and some "alternative" finishes, although this did bring the pack back together again quite well.
On to business with the GM leading with Hash Crash and Hash Trash, followed by the Hares being iced. It transpired that no particular Belgian day or event was being commemorated, but there was a general consensus this was a well organised and decorated event on a good site with great food. On the run the main debate was with regard to the distance, with people clocking anywhere between 7 and 10 kms. The raffle results highlighted Bitter Balls taking first prize and Gin Tonic winning yet again...
Emperor Airhead then took the stage and further iced and congratulated the 6 Belgian Hares for the day's proceedings. However he then moved to the main event which was in fact the engagement of Cocktail and Softwood, to be celebrated at June's On On bar later. Softwood confirmed he had proposed in the traditional manner, on a cruise no less. This happy event was unfortunately followed by an unsavoury scramble as participants in the Swamp Rats Christmas Bar Crawl all tried to get access to the ice, and then unsuccessfully try to explain what had happened the previous Friday.
The GM returned to ice Arse van Hole and Mayo Queen for talking repeatedly, and then presented a cake to Two Time to celebrate her birthday.
Scar with 2 T's then surfaced to conduct the circle in his usual abrasive style, taking Stupid Kraut Kunt, Something Stupid and one other to task for not wearing Hash Shirts. The GM was iced for his Hash Crash and, following Diarrhea being quizzed on his return to Thailand, Wild Wolf was bucketed for the somewhat erratic routing of the SR Bar Crawl repeatedly up and down the designated Soi.
Sperm Polluter appeared for the awards - 50 Runs for the very popular Something Kinder and 20 Hared runs for Smokey Trucky Fu-ky.
Over to No More Cum, who was in reminiscent mode today referencing both a past Belgian eating club - "Black Sheep" - and the "Scandi Hooligan Train Run", the details of which are probably best left unpublished. He nonetheless found time to ice Borderline (waving paper instead of shouting On On), the GM, Scar with 2 T's, Drinks Like A Girl and Wild Wolf.
Finally back to the GM who, having named Shithead the Wanker of the Week (runners up Seal Sucker, Something Stupid, Parisian Titi and Cement Head), closed the proceedings in the usual manner after Wild Wolf led a stirring rendition of "Father Abraham".
That's all for now.
See you next week. On On Home Brew.
