Hash Scribe No. 600
Tubbie Twinkie of Hansel & Gretel fame, plus, yes she with the Songkran ray gun, Cheap Drive, bring us run 600. Where are we? Back in Lamia Valley of course. Boring. Somewhere special we had hoped. A new virgin area? Perhaps the Seychelles. No. Same, same. No doubt we’d be tripping over all the paper from earlier runs. Everyone gathered under the swaying trees and greying skies nursing their hangovers from the night before. Feral arrived fashionably late hoping to avoid the 600 baht fee for the run but well in time for the free beer and bar-b-que. His fellow hashers had cunningly waited for him, so muttering away he reluctantly opened his wallet to pay the fee. The circle formed and Germany decided to hog the commentary, “it vill be long and hard” cried hare ein (one), but enough of my first marriage and off we went. Zaroom, into zee fatherland. Oh of course that’s all except for one hasher who thought 600 was a meter too far. Come back Comes First, all is forgotten. Off we go, with your’s truly sucking the hind tit in last place. I’d forgotten my iPod and with Bags not around, entertainment was needed. If you ever walk with the walkers you’ll know exactly what I mean. Suddenly in front of me were Where’s Wally & Gromit. I tried my Sebastian Vettel passing movement but Where’s Wally saw it coming and edged me towards the buffalo. I decided to wait until the next corner. Engaging a more upbeat tune on the iPod it was easy. It was now Gromit’s turn. She tried idle banter but I was wise to that and made an easy passing movement. Like a Samui Hamilton I picked them off one by one, moving ever closer to the front and a chance to find one of Cheap Drive’s lucky numbers. In the distance I spied Forbeskin but by this time Tubbie’s trail had me well and truly *uc*ed. Wimmin’ Power Do Run 600. Sock it to them Nina. Arriving back at the circle site after a truly great virgin run in a definitely shagged out Lamai Valley it was time to tuck into the free Leos. By the way, apart from an incredibly shitty homestead there wasn’t a single pice of paper to be seen despite all my misgivings. To my horror others had began to realise Leo was in the piss truck and they soon ran out. And then the heavens opened. Now, what you don’t know, (as I am the one with inside information), Strolling Bones had been praying to the God(s) (Brian Jones I believe) every night for it to rain late Saturday afternoon, and lots of it. Why? For the past couple of years the Piss truck under the eagle eye of one Mister Bones and Comic Strip has run at a profit. An event like 600 had to have a short circle to cut consumption and as all us sodden buggers can attest to, it worked. We were not alone. From the four corners of the earth hashers had flocked to Samui for the 600. Blue Lugs lent his Gulfstream executive jet to bring seven of England team players (all Carlisle United first team regulars) to Samui from Rio. For those of you following the world cup England’s shock defeat against Pattaya United in the group stages ensured their early departure. Red Mullet sailed from Nathon all the way to Hong Kong to pick up nine of his Hong Kong hasher mates. And then there were the real heroes who came from Hua Hin, Vietnam, Australia & Songkhla. Thank you for coming to enjoy our very shitty weather. Big Yin, our leader and hero, called the circle to order and apart from Corkscrew all thought the trail top notch, which it was. Corkscrew was naturally iced, hoping for a free down, down. Silly bugger had forgotten that the beer was free. Cleavage photo with Mullet winning the male section. Feral, Corkscrew, Mullet and the usual heroes ended up on the ice from our Samui contingent. Fagash didn’t as she’d pissed off with her beau. Tinkerbell brought his Hua Hin criminals into the circle for their crimes. Softcock from Songkhla did the same for his crew. And then one of our visitors (from either Hua Hin or Songkhla) ended up on the ice for buying his partner new shoes earlier in the day. A daft visitor did the trail in flip flops. God knows why. Now I have a story about shoes. Bin Runnin’ (my missis) on her third run in Accra in 1997 wore new shoes. Why? Well I’d bought them in Bangkok and knew the dastardly penalties of wearing new shoes on the hash. So I suggested she wear them. And if she liked them I’d buy her them next time we were in Bangkok. Just in case you are wondering, we have similar shoe sizes. She had a down, down and I ended up on the ice as hash shit being the loving husband I am. (Just filling space in case you are wondering). Back to the circle. The water started falling again and Wee Yin suggested to Big Yin that he wrap it up, which he did. Now to thanks for 600. Big Yin, Little Yin for all your work making it happen. Tubbie for doing a shit hot trail that must have taken lots and lots of effort. Cheap Ride too. Blue Lugs for lending his bar for the food and after event venue. Oh last thought on the T-shirts……………………………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? An agreement amongst all the males. !
