A large crowd of hashers turned out for the last run of 2024 with the PH3.
We all arrived at a great leafy A site with a view. With the experienced hares we all expected a great run.
The GM calls out virgins and new shoes, so one of the virgins got 2 free beers. Lucky him.
With a large pack and many FRB's out there, they all took off like a rat out of a drain pipe only to miss the trail markings. 15 minutes into the run confusion set in. I found myself as a front runner which is NO LONGER ALLOWED. Was good fun telling all the FRB's that they must all be getting old for me to be in front.
10 minutes later more confusion on trail. There were groups of hashers all over the place looking for trail. At one stage I followed GI JOE but after following him for about 50 meters and not seeing trail I decided to stop. When Joe runs his in his own world, so he continued down an unmarked trail. Because I had a hard night before and confusion was still all around me, I thought I would follow VV and Tampax home. Great idea guys. We got back to the beer truck in about 40 minutes only to hear that some of the FRB's, Herring Choker and co, had come back to the A-Site only to go out again on the real trail.
This caused more confusion because as runners came in were we allowed to open the beer bucket. NO was the answer, so we hung around until Herring Choker returned.
The hares had put on some great nibbles and then a top feed before the circle was called.
The GM started the circle with hash crashes x 4. Istanbullshit had eaten one of her famous cookies so she fell over. We also had a Kiwi visitor take a tumble. He probably thought he was tackling sheep again. Sorry I didn't get the names of the other 2. Too many people in the circle talking. The shut the F up sign was then paraded around the ring ready for round 2. Hash trash.
Seal Sucker claimed the running shoes, and Hot Hope claimed something else.
Hares on in and take a seat please. Comments from around the circle varied. It appeared that runners found many trails out there and came in from various directions. Confusion was the name of the day, but we all enjoyed it. Some runs you remember for various reasons, but as Sperm Polluter reminded hashers, without hares there are no runs. Who cares if things go wrong out on trail, we are there because we are hashers.
Speedo Pete gets the ice for talking and there are comments by Herring CHOCKER and Panzer about the trail. GI Joe and Whore in the Window comment about their self made run. Sperm Bank made a comment about being confused but he always is anyway. It was great fun a great trail and top food. Well done hares.
Raffle by Black Panther. Winners were Stupid KC, Kidney Wiper, Arse van Hole, Belle, Happy Survivor and Bubbles won the bucket for trying to win a prize with the wrong ticket. Losers me again.
Emperor Airhead has the circle and of course the hares are on the ice again. EH points out the good things: the food, the view and the entertainment enjoyed by hashers when someone else is in the bucket.
He then calls out Janne from Finland. Janne is quite a big lump of a guy who grows carrots in Finland. You can learn quite a bit of useless information at hash but apparently, Finland exports tons of carrots a year. You could tell by Janne's size that he doesn't eat many of his own carrots. Names are suggested, and he is bathed in holy water and christened Salad Dodger Carrot muncher or something similar. Welcome to PH3 Janne.
Thorsten from Germany thought he was getting christened Thor but no such luck mate next week we will think of a better name.
I like being scribe, I get to sit down and hashers give me beers.
It's about this time at night though when my writing gets worse and I'm now reading scribble.
Scar with 2T's ices the hares and talks about bees. Blow my lengski on ice for talking and coz his still talking on ice he gets an upgrade to the bucket. Ball Ringer is iced for no hash shirt. Speedo Pete is iced again for talking some hashers never learn. The virgins are asked what they thought about the run and will they return? They all said yes because if they had said no I think we would have found a seat for them.
Panzer is iced because, according to the story, he came out of the bush with a pretty harriete and a big smile.
GM has Slo Blo Jo back in the circle because it's her birthday. Happy birthday.
Sperm Polluter gives presentations: Goosey Goosey Gobbler 100 runs, She's the Boss 30 hares.
Well done guys
Hares do the Banana song
The Koh Samui visitors are called into the circle for the final down down. Ball Ringer leads us in the hash anthem and another fun day with the PH3 comes to an end. We'll done hares well done commitee.
It's then on back to the Kubla bar for more drinks, more food, karaoke and dancing.
Roll on next Monday. On On BB
