RUN: #644 RUN SITE: Maracas
SCRIBE: Minimus
Dan HARES: Zam & Enrique
DATE:
I knew something was wrong with this run when after the rainy
drive all the way to the run site, I see Enrique coming up the beach with a bag
of flour in his hand. I’d like to give Enrique the benefit of the doubt and I’m
going to suggest that it was the Hash Ass’ idea to use flour in the rain. I was
even informed that the rain wasn’t the only thing affecting the visibility of
the flour trails, since some stray dogs were seen devouring the flour as well,
particularly the checks and Xs apparently since I saw none in flour for the
entire run. Anyway, despite Harry’s services being already set up and
operational, we decided to still do the run and we set off.
It was only when we were about 500 meters from the start point and
checking a street, I noticed that the Hash Ass was running with a bag of flour
shouting ON ON, behind me setting the
trail after the run had started, which was strange to say the least. We
decided to wait on him, and after an extremely long wait, due to Zam’s inherent
lack of speed and coordination, he caught up and led us up a street and up a
mud stairway. He informed us that he had to set the trail again because the
flour was washed away previously by a freak monsoon that passed through the area
earlier. Tweety, Lorin and Tomas however knew nothing of this. They began
checking a side street off the main street and apparently due to some
combination of dogs, monsoon and the hares run-setting ability, the side street
was not ‘X-ed’. The trio continued up the street, eventually meeting another
trail and began the run with a 15 minute headstart.
The rest of us should have gone with them, but we were not so
fortunate. So we followed Zam. Some of us were even helping Zam suggesting
places for checks and false trails, telling him where to drop flour so it
wouldn’t be visible, and to space out the intervals at which he was dropping
flour, to make it more difficult for the hashers. Eventually we came to a
check. This must have caught the Hash Ass off guard, since he had no idea where
we were supposed to go and the trail had vanished entirely. Again he blamed the
monsoon. Eventually, Betty, seeking to capitalize on the delay began looking
for a suitable place to make love to Haniff, and stumbled on the trail and we
were off again, up and down some more stairs, between houses and so on.
Occasionally the hares would point to some faint residue on the ground and
should out “Checking” or “On Back”. We would take their word for it. We
eventually came to the street that Tweety, Lorin and Thomas ran up, and we ran
up it as well through that bar/restaurant/play ground thing that everyone
passes on the left just one or two corners before Maracas, but never visit,
since there’s a beach right around the corner for crying out loud. Why stop
there. It doesn’t even have a view.
So we’re on the main road now running down to Maracas, looking for
the right trail. Eventually we find it and we’re off again, we come to a couple
of junctions and the hares inform us that we are “Checking” and we believe them
because we see some fattened, sleeping dogs that have clearly gorged themselves
on flour. We check and we’re off. Now here is where it gets even stranger. At
one of the checks we see run into Tweety, who is coming out of was apparently a
very long loop with one entry and exit point. The majority of the pack decides
to skip the loop and just continue the run. It was not my lucky day and I began
the loop.
The loop however turned out to be the best set part of the run.
They used something called “shredded paper” on this part of the run and this
matter is not digested by most canines, and also holds up pretty well in the
rain. We should probably start using this paper stuff, especially if it might
rain. The trails were lovely there, the checks were well set and marked off,
and it ended with a refreshing downhill trip through a clear
The rest of the run was pretty straight forward. They stuck with
the “shredded paper” stuff and after some more ups and towns, twists and turns
we were out and running down the beach to the cars and more importantly, Harry.
Despite all this it was an excellent and scenic run and the hares were
unfortunate the rain washed away some of their trails.

Dookie’s Dabble
By the time you are
reading this, Randall, Mark and myself will be having drinks with some sexy
Chinese women in Bangcock. Oops, I was not supposed to say that I meant
having drinks with our wives.
Now to the hash. Zam
and Enrique - could I not say anything about the run as I only did the first
loop and judging from that, well, I guess I did the best thing by coming in
early for drinks. From what I understand there was a good lime after.
Most of you should know by
now that Derek "De Friggin Ass" DeFreitas will be acting HM for the
next two hashes. Please, I want you to show him the same courtesy and
respect that you have showered me with throughout the year.
I would like to welcome Richard
Marlay to the Hash Committee. He is the new Hash Softies replacing Bob
Dixon who is off to
Poofter - Richard Hart
We welcome all virgins to
the
Volley Ball - off
Saturdays at Maracas. I presume that Peter Noel will continue the
volleyball in Zam's absence.
ON ON!!!
