Run: 1915, 2 December 2019
Location: Onnut Soi 37
Hares: Noriega and Boob-a-lube

'Greetings my dear children of the BMH3. I write to you from my plane back to Rome. I thank you in advance for the hospitality you will show my emissary Antique Road Show. I have been hearing rumors of blasphemy and debauchery on the Hash and thought it best to see it through the eyes of my faithful servant.’ Cum dilectione, Pope Francis

A wise man once told me: "Stay away from OnSec before the run…" This week’s Hare was Noriega. Many of you don’t know that Noriega is working on testing a new theory (© Frank A.) – you can get by in Thailand speaking only English if you know how to pronounce the words with a Thai accent. You don’t call for a "motorcycle", you need a "motosai." "Computer" becomes "computeeer." He had a bunch of other examples that I can’t remember. I think he is planning on turning it into a Lonely Planet Phrasebook. In spite of that Frank and co-hare Boobalube laid a nice run in a busy part of town. Rumor was that they copied part of someone else’s run, but I am not sure about that. Mainly the run was along narrow khlong paths and through residential neighborhoods.

The pack stayed together until the last couple of km thanks to some well-placed checks and false trails. I think I passed Sweety about 5 times – once he was holding up a woman on a bike and about 6 Hashers. He of course was penalized for this during the circle. There was one rickety bridge that appeared to not be used even by Thais that we needed to cross (Boobalube crossed it?!). Of course I was directly behind Sweety – at least he did not fall through the gaps. For the late cummers and Lurch, Tom Yum Goong broke all the checks and everyone made it back in one piece.

In the circle, stand in Grand Master Gringo called out the usual infractions. It was a bit hard for me to catch everything because I was listing to a story about how the 5 most dangerous snakes in the world come from Australia. Spiders too. And then something about the stock exchange. However, I do know that Sweety and Lurch were called in. There was also a visitor from Honolulu. Diarrhea was called in for Hashing in every Bangkok Hash since 14 October. FYI, Hazu Kashii is working on Hashing in 100 countries, but apparently has gotten stuck in Bangkok – probably met a friend down in Nana. For prick of the week there really was no competition. For reasons unknown Antique Road Show was stripped down to his shorts and wearing a beautiful white cape. Something to do with the Pope’s visit. I couldn’t make it to the dinner so if anything interesting happened you’ll have to ask someone who was.

OnOn!
