BMH3 Run report

Run 1513, 19 March 2012
Location: Tha Nam Nonthaburi - Wat Bot Road
Hare: Spinning Dwarf
Scribe: Hash Hash

The Run Site was 5 kilometers from Ratchapruk Road and only 1 kilometer from the Chow Praya River. The site was located in a large clearing, in preparation for a future highway linking a soon to be constructed Chow Praya bridge with Rachapruk Road. Some people are surely going to be making some big money out of this venture. And those who were at the run will be able some time in the future to recollect about “the time before this road was built I ran a Hash, blah, blah blah……”

No No was the stand-in GM in absence of the Senator and he put in a very, very strong performance (was this an audition for next year’s GM. Hmmmmmm?)

Word has it that one Hasher has bought a new home in the same housing estate as another Hasher and the new digs are directly across the road. That means that one Hasher will be able to look out their window and see the much LARGER house of another Hasher! Will this spurn a “keeping up with the Jones” phenomenon between these 2 “guys” each seeking the BIGGEST ONE? I due hope there are no hard feelings ……

Then the run. The Hare announced there would be two trails, one for the FRB and another for the shortcutters. The reason for the difference was a difficult bridge on the former trail.

The Hare designated the short portion of the run the “Pussy Trail” and wrote this in chalk on many parts of the trail. I know who this leg was named after and dedicated to: Pussy Virus. Because what did he due after the run, but before the circle? On command of his dominatrix woman – who phoned him and demanded that he come home immediately - he tucked his tail between his alabaster legs, got in that big expensive car and pushed the autopilot while squeaking “Follow the Pussy Trail to home”. I hope you didn’t get chapped skin from doing the dishes, while wearing that frilly apron, PV. Your bromance buddy ManBoobs was never this clingy…..

The trail was quite good, challenging checks and much greenery and for a large part staying off of the road. There were some difficult, difficult bridges which really broke up the FRBs from the short cutters. The consensus of the pack was a Well Done Run.

Post run talk involved the usual subjects of imagined sexual/business conquests (“I don’t cheat on my taxes I only engage in planning”) and there was much chatter about the “new” Bangkok Wednesday Hash. Some were heard to bemoan the changes as not reflecting the “will of the people” (which generally translates to “not what I wanted”) while others pondered “Where were those people when the previous incarnation of the Wednesday Hash - for years - could not find any hares or had pack sizes in the single digits?” Was the change a Hostile Takeover, a White Knight or a Trojan Horse? A travesty or karmic payback? What's done is done, history is in the past, The Future is what we make. Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” so maybe ditchin’ the mouse wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

The Circle was called and sinners dealt with. Ting “The Cock Teaser” was a Returner from long, long ago.

A number of people at the Circle were wearing that offensive shirt from the 30-year celebratory run, a blatant copy of a previous original Bangkok Monday HHH design from that inspired Italian artist Phinocchio. Now some of you recognize that this is a copyright legal issue, a matter of no proper compensation for the work of another, and these issues might well be decided in a court of law. But this also represents an issue of Human Rights, the recognition of the original work of an author. Accordingly a committee has formed, the Phinocchio Freedom Foundation which seeks justice for artists from around the world. If you wish to contribute to this worthwhile endeavor please contact Noriega who is now taking your tax deductible donations.

The level of wit and non-stop, spontaneous hilarity from the Religious Advisor Joostless almost made one pine for AKM’s Wikipedia-based observations.

Fawlty Towers was nominated for Prick of the Week for using a “hi-tech” Samsung mobile phone to access the internet and ordering up a map to find the way back to the beer. Maybe using The Paper is a better strategy.

Splat was also nominated, and justifiably won Prick of the Week for using the water which cools the Hash beer is to wash off some brown, sticky stuff which was on her hands, left over from taking a shit in the woods post-Run/pre-Circle. Eeeewww you sure deserved the win. Unfortunately, The Prick accoutrements were not available.

Missed the ON ON but sure it was A – O – K. Many thanks to Spinning Dwarf!
