Run:- 1306 Date:- 31 March 2008.
Location:- PraNangklao Bridge
Hare:- Bugs and Narest
Scribe:- No NoDue to massive civil engineering works around the Nangklao Bridge, many of the Hashers did not arrive on time. (So what’s new? Just this time they had an excuse.)
We set off running parallel to the river but soon found ourselves in good hashing territory with some shiggy and a dangerous klong to cross that claimed its quota of victims. The run made good use of the territory, and it was an A to B run, at the end of which we found that a boat (rather than a bus) was awaiting the pack. As the run was reasonably short (at around 4.5 kms), the usual desperadoes – you know who they are – elected to run back along the road rather than await the few stragglers still to arrive for the boat.
The rest of us had a most pleasant boat ride back to the restaurant, albeit under dark threatening skies illuminated by frequent flashes of lightning. We were fortunate that both the run and the circle escaped the rain.
The GM took firm control of the circle, and was himself awarded a tankard, allegedly for completing 13 runs on the Nonthaburi Hash. However, many of the circle were a tad sceptical about this.
The RA congratulated Pussy Virus and Sebathion for making up over a romantic, candlelit dinner, after their lovers’ tiff, but poured scorn and derision on Pussy Virus for allowing a 50 year old woman to trounce him in the Triathlon. PV claimed that “she had cheated” but didn’t go into details. (PV how the Hell do you cheat in a triathlon? Was she using a performance enhancing substance that you couldn’t get your hands on, or did she simply use a four-wheel- drive??)
Some of the Hashers were on their way back from InterHash in Perth, down under, and brought distressing stories of their experiences there. They told us that because it was Easter weekend, some of the bars were closing at 9:00 p.m., and other similar horrors. They didn’t actually say if Interhash stopped serving grog at that time, but if there was even a possibility that this happened then we all reeled in horror at the enormity of it.
For that reason therefore, P.O.T.W. was enthusiastically bestowed on Jeff Reynolds as the token sacrificial lamb from Oz.
All in all, a most enjoyable evening: the Hares are to be congratulated on setting a good run at very, very short notice. that made good use of the territory, Well done lads.
