The stand-in OnSec feverishly opened an email from this week’s designated scribe, expecting to be instantly enraptured by articulate, witty prose from one of Bangkok’s most cultured hashers, a well known thespian and skillful interpreter of works by our beloved bard of Stratford. Instead, he found this sad testimony to the chaos to which a brilliant intellect can be reduced by years of dedicated alcohol abuse.
"I regret that I do not know doggy language and I would be truly amazed if some dogs can read English, certainly not in Thailand thats for sure.
I assume you refer to next weeks write up since it is usually requested that the Hare does the following week's write up. In any case I was late for the run and did not go very far, further, being somewhat relaxed and assuming the above ruling I cannot remember anything about the circle at all, so I certainly cannot do this weeks. Given prompting prior to my attendance at a run and assuming not too much work load of course I shall do my bit.
ON ON RODDERS”
It so happened that Acting OnSec was also late for the run – not by a paltry five minutes but a whole 40 minutes. Nevertheless, he still ventured off fearlessly into the rain and mud in the direction limply indicated by from under a polythene sheet by Crash Daly who, along with Lion King, had decided to wait this run out. The trail from Unico Golf Course inevitably went South along the klong that borders Unico’s wealthier neighbour, Krungthep Kretha Golf Course. Emerging from the golf course into the maze of klong paths where out and in trails traditionally criss cross each other in this location, your scribe encountered a thoroughly drenched hare and co-hare, the latter looking suspiciously like one of the impressionable young charges unwittingly entrusted loco parentis into the hare’s unscrupulous charge at ABAC by loco parents. The pack was heard to be calling from somewhere in the middle distance, whereupon the hare declared that they were having a tough time as a result of having discovered the in trail early on and were running the hash backwards. With some heavy clues from the hare I was able to find the right trail but the first check was admittedly rather tough and I had no doubt that, without the tips, I might also have gone astray.
After some two and a half km or so I could see the trail was going to the Chonburi Motorway but thought I had done enough for a 40 minute late starter and turned around to run back to Unico. Just at that moment Tastes Great appeared hotly pursued by Thai Me Up. They had apparently been running around in circles for an hour and had only just found the right trail. In the face of their fresh faced enthusiasm it seemed churlish to continue with my sensible plan to hotfoot back to the piss truck and on we went towards the roar and fumes of the motorway. There the trail continued to prove elusive but occasionally appeared alongside railway tracks, klong paths, swamps & etc. Eventually, about 5 km out, paper was found in a housing estate on Patanakarn Road. Unfortunately it led to a breeze block wall with apparently nothing on the other side. Later the hare informed us that there was, in fact, a chalk inscription on the wall advising how to scale it and find paper on the other side. No doubt this would have been visible in daylight but our intrepid trio was sadly obliged to abandon the chase and run back along Patanakarn to find its own way back to Unico in the slashing rain.
We were back just in time for the circle which had already been started by Love Canal in the absence of GM George of the Jungle who was lost in the urban jungle as a member of the intrepid trio. It transpired that no one had managed to run the correct trail the right way round but a small band had managed to run it all backwards. Can’t remember much about down downs except that Beefeater shared POTW with Ellen for something relating to Ellen’s nipples which had been aroused by the cool breeze.
The hare had done a great job in ordering good food in advance for the OnOnOn, which was held opposite the gates of Unico, but unfortunately most hashers gave little thought to supporting his efforts and only six people showed up for the meal. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant, if quiet event, livened up by: Sebastian drinking Crash’s wine from the bottle; Hash Hash fantasizing about abnormal carnal acts that he felt Normal Kim might be performing at that very moment in Switzerland; and the hare displaying a collection of photographs of the co-hare in his mobile phone that showed off his artistic talents to considerable advantage.
