A more perfect evening for a run, I have not experienced in Bangkok before. It felt like we were running in a different country. For the first time, this hash scribe did not short cut or abandon the run at the end to walk ON IN. Stimulated by cool breezes she sprinted with the FRBs only to miss the last sudden turn off the klong path into the bushes, and so failed to arrive near the front of the pack. Anyway, a decent run with a relatively small turnout due to many regular hashers back in their home country, doing mandatory family visits for the holidays. For those of us here, we are quite happy to NOT be living out of a suitcase in someone else's house for the next few weeks. This is the best time of year to just RELAX in Bangkok.
Before we set off on the run, GM George of the Jungle called the pack together for a moment of silence for a beloved Saturday Hasher, Prabhas Sakunwadhna, who has departed this world for a better place. He had several good friends at the Monday Hash who spoke about what an outstanding guy he was. Rest in peace Prabhas.
Then we were off on the run with checks that were good enough to keep the pack together. In case there are some new hashers reading this Trash, the objective is to have checks that result in all front running bastards and slow running bastards finish the run within ten minutes apart.
Sinners called into the circle:
The Hares: AKM and Carlos and Tatoo Lady, the poor thing had been abused by
the men and treated like a slave while laying the trail - clearly evident by
her shoes and legs covered in mud; the men were clean as a whistle.
Beefeater and Tatoo Lady visitor for being Tatooed Rural English People.
Virgin Elvis (Presley or Costello?) for I don't know what.
Id for standing up Ian "AKM" Slater for a date. Ian, Mini, Todd, Max and other friends have a trivia team that won some tournament at the Londoner, winning dinner for themselves and dates. Ian was the only one to turn up solo. He said "even Mini had a date!" Id stood him up in the late afternoon, leaving him with no time to find another woman desperate enough to go out with him for a free meal. Normal Kim and Tim Crash Daly started jumping up and down and demanded to know why he didn't phone them. In the future he knows he can call them at a moment's notice and they will 'NEVER TURN HIM DOWN". When will AKM learn that older women are the way to go?!
Ajarn Kee Maw later came up with the horrible suggestion that we no longer sing songs at the BMH3. It is just about the only hash tradition we uphold, let us not lose it! We even have a new Hash Moosic, Beefeater. Knickerless, remember that hash song book I passed you last year, please pass it on to Beefeater. Truly the singing was at an all time low last Monday, maybe it had something to do with the holiday blues.
Anyway, on on on was a little depressing in this scribe's opinion, due to the Thai singer on stage that drowned out our conversation, he must have been singing about lost love. No matter if it's Thai, country western, or Irish ballads, sad love songs all sound the same and I'd be happy to never hear another.
On On, Lion King
