Well, it was another hot sunny day in Pattaya. And another run off highway 7. This is the third week in a row we’ve been in this area. Or as Yogi Berra would say, it’s Déjà vu all over again. Who’s Yogi Berra? There’s a hash song about him, but I digress.
It was another good turnout of runners, walkers, beer hunters, visitors, and even a virgin. The Wizard called this motley crew to order and dispensed with the normal instructions. A new shoe violation was noted. I believe it was Squeeze My Tube, who had to drink out of her shoe.
The length of the Runners' trail from what I heard was about 8k or so with some hills. Walker’s trail was around 4k. I didn’t hear much bitching so I guess the trail was well marked. However, the smart people like me, opted for the beer hunters. We had a full bus, so much so that Ferry Queen and Eating Monster had to take a second bus.
However, they didn’t show up at the beer place until a half hour later. What they did during that half hour is open to speculation, but they claimed they had to make a stop at 7-11… Hmmm
Also joining us on the beer hunters was iboibo from Bangkok. How the mighty have fallen. Less than 2 months ago, he was a GM. Now, he’s a beer hunter virgin!
When us beer hunters returned to the A site, most of the runners had finished their run... However, no food as VV wasn’t there to sell his sandwiches. He’s in Aussie land hanging out with the Hamersley boys. Not a big deal for me as I knew we would get food later at Kubla which was this week’s On-On bar.
Memorable moments from the second circle.
The Wizard called himself in for hash crash... fell over five times but claimed Herring Choker pushed him the first time. Turd Burglar was put in the bucket for hash crash. The hares were next to get some ice time. Hares this week were Squeeze My Tube (main hare) Mayo Queen, Sick of Steve, and Pink Head. Comments about the run were generally favorable. Goosey Goosey Gobbler, who is 82 years old, did the full trail and said he enjoyed it. Way to go Goosey! You’re an inspiration to us baby hashers!!
Next up was the raffle officiated by Black Panther. She had just returned to Pattaya after a several week absence... lots of corruption ensued, including 2 hashers who were put on the ice for falsely claiming the winning number.
Airhead took the circle and recognized the beer police for their service. It’s a dirty job but unfortunately someone has to do it.
There was a naming for a harriette ... now called Beautiful Bell Ringer
Lots of run awards this week. Disco Dick for 50, Eating Monster for 100, Milky Piss 100, and Something Kinder 200.
Scar brought several harriettes into the circle and told the beer hunters that they were missing out by not doing trail and following these ladies for inspiration... He has a point, but I doubt it will make any difference to the beer hunters…
Wanker of the week was awarded to Boring Wanker for eating Black Panther’s chocolates from Valentine’s Day while she was away. Not a good move. That will come back to haunt you!
One mistake the hares made was no hash song! So, they were put on the ice and BB sang them a song. (The mayor of bayswater song).
Overall, it was a good day out… Good trail, good weather (no rain) and a fun circle.
Afterwards, quite a few of us retired to the Kubla bar for more drinks and food. Thank you hares and committee for another great run!
