Run 1363, KH3Run 1363 – Graceland Gardens Hotel, Bbunga.
Location; Just opposite Okapi Gallery, along the Kampala-Ggaba
Hares;
The Hare was Mpuuta, who is now fast learning how tough the job of being Hare Raiser is. After the circle, you could not mistake the pleas of “I need Hares please” for subsequent runs. So please, just do your bit and volunteer to host a run by booking your date as early as possible. The 2010 KH3 Calendar is out and getting filled put so fast so do your bit.
The Run;
The day happened to be like one of those rainy days from a rainy hell, It started raining from the early hours of the morning til some time about 4;00 pm. Throughout the day, my thoughts went out to the unfortunate hare would have to mark the trail in this non-stop, annoying drizzle. Due to a technical problem , involving one Hasher forgetting to pack her Hash shorts, for the second time at the same venue, I had to hunt these shorts from the Red light narrow corridors of Kablagala, a very popular hunting ground for u know what and believe me you the place was steaming with activity. But that too is a story for another day. The Hunt for shorts (which we failed to get by the way), ensured that I missed first circle, and the start of the run and had to do a Federo-like chase to get in touch with the rest of the runners. (Federo of course being a regular late comer at the hash, has perfected the art of chasing. I missed the first Check point, but not the second. Among the Honorable chasers of the pack that day was Baby Hen, Kilavu lavu, and this honorable gentle man with glasses (see photo) I forget his name, whom the
Little kids that we met along the way kept on shouting out things like Bin laden etc, and of course Dirty Dick who reached the second check point and attempted a Martina like manouever by running past the check point before the Hashers had been let go. Martina is that FRB from the bad Boys Team of Nairobery who was so fast that at the last leg of The prestigious Annual Jinja Relay, he passed by Jinja and almost ended up in Iganga, a Town miles away from Jinja. Passing the Timing car regulars is his first hobby l\he bragged to us later. Anyway, back to the issues, second check point was on top of a hill in Buziga. By this time, a number of us had somehow managed to keep our shoes mud free, with Stretch Marks being the leader among the cleanest ones then, and Hackenbush being the leader on the other side. But as you all know, what goes up must come down. The next section was interesting to say the least. A run downwards to the main road, using the muddiest road that many of you will ever get the chance run on. I t was real muddy, and it showed at the third check point – this was really a fake/artificial check point as there was no mark indicating the check point. Trust Hackenbush again during this decent, whenever he would pass by a couple of goody goodies going downhill, trying to be as neat as tidy as possible, he would cause the most ………………… There is a word that I should be using here, but you will help me out. The word should mean ‘running while you are trying to splash as much water and muddy as you can to anyone within striking distance, targeting small ponds made by the rain water and going directly for them with the intention of splashing this water on anyone within range. There was quite a bit of that after the third check point.
The last section was a very long gentle uphill run about a kilometer and a half long all the way from the base of the Hill to the hash venue. Upon reaching the Hash venue, we realized that not a single Walker had made it back by then. Someone suggested that we should indeed eat all the fruits and drink all the water before the Walkers arrive, as a way of making them has a taste of their own medicine. This sound like a good idea but the fruits and the water we a little bit too much, we could not finish them. In any case, the total turn up was not the usual 100 plus registered hashers. It was about just below 75.
The circle.
The Circle was conducted by the hash master Party Boy and a couple of Ugly faces were in attendance, most notable among whom was the late GM Pocahontas, who I had seen earlier with two T-shirts and had unsuccessfully tried to ask for one of them from him. The other new comers were Stella from Great Britain, Leah and Maura from Wisconsin both Visiting Solar Erection. An announcement was made about Juba HHH, who will be celebrating their 200th Run on Saturday 27th February 2010. Please Contact hash Cash for details.
Sinners; Included hash Muzeeyi for telling someone I will do you, you will do me. I don’t know exactly what they meant over there. Kwashakior for peeping at hash Muzeeyi while he was irrigating the grasslands of Buziga. Licking Balls for sending a text message while he has in the circle. Pisser nominated Dirty Dick (DD) for spending the longest time dressing in his car. The previous record was 8 minutes which was held by I don’t remember who but Dirty dick’s time was staggering 15 Minutes. The reason for this pisser said, must have been the incredibly large amount of pants that he was putting on. . .or off. (Remember the Waragi Team presentation at the Hash bash 2007 where DD‘s act was to put off some many of them). We were dancing to the famous song Zangalewa. It seems like such a long time ago. Other Sinners were Federo for peeping at something, Land lord for dressing like an Astronaut enroute to the NASA space station in Houston Texas, with the complete astronaut kit missing only a helmet.
Announcements; Among the announcements made on that day were The Seven Hills Run due to take place on 7th March 2010. (just over one week away). Lots of volunteers are needed for the seven Hills so please feel free to volunteer . (Contact Mpuuta for details on how you can volunteer). Next week’s run will take place at Solace Gardens Lubowa. The turn off is at Roofings Industries move uphill for about one K, and somewhere opposite the Shopping Mall is where you might find Solace. This info is subject to confirmation by the Hare Raiser by the way, so take it with a grain of sand or salt whichever it may be.
There was a special moment involving former Hash master GM Pocahontas, who is presently running with the Nairobery Hash House Harriers. It started with a little tension as the W**kers worried about their mobile phones, wallets pockets etc. (You all know how Nairobery is all robbery). So he proceeded to offer a T-shirt which was deemed too clean to The Hash Master Party Boy and one to Queenie, for generally being a pain in the A*** to us all the time. Both T-shirts were washed by the hashers’ clean shoes, and of course when one Hash Master Drinks, all Hash Masters drink, so there was a round of drinks for all present GMs and hash Mattresses. They broke the down down record as they cleared their glasses in approximately 3 – 4 seconds.
Chatterboxes;- Once again, Dirty Dick nailed down Tiny Sausage for repeatedly using the “F” Word during the run, he became a nominee for Chatterbox. Other nominees for Chatterboxes were Dayo, Solar Erection and Etonyatonya. You should have been there to hear Hackenbush trying to pronounce “Etonyatonya”.
Hashshit;- The Nominees for the most prestigious award were;- Peeping Dick for stealing a bottle of soda from our down downs, A goody goody hasher called Rough Rider for not knowing any hash song never having done anything wrong. And one other hasher for something I did not get. The award went to Peeping Dick.
The Circle ended at about 8:10 pm and it was dinner time. As usual, we were the very last to leave, me and a couple of Hashers including Pisser, EtonyaTonya, Pisser’s Stripper, Dick Chopper, Septic Tonku, stayed around to outlast the night. He told us a story that I had to confirm from the Internet, Par t of it is true, there other part we are yet to find out. But here it goes.
In 1974, at the 10th British Commonwealth Games Commonwealth Games held in Christchurch New Zealand, The Republic of Uganda Team won a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay, behind the eventual Gold Medalists from Kenya and The British Team that won silver. One of the runners on this bronze medal winning team is a former Hasher, names to be disclosed, but they say he used to be as fast as an Antelope. Anyways, the same runner, at the prime of his athletics peak, lined up with the likes of Kabuki, at the Makerere University Inter-Hall Atheletics Finals, surely anticipating an easy win. But believe it or not. There was a major upset on that day as Kabuki who was running on the outside lane, used the famous “Catch me if you can’ system, taking off so fast that by the time the athletes reached the finishing Ribbon, he was still ahead and dipped on the line before anyone else emerging a shocking winner of this event. This second part I am yet to verify but, if some one out there could send us a more accurate recount of this tale, its would be quiet interesting. Any any, any way any way, . . . On On!
Katanga Bbi.
FYI;- Perry Mason is compiling a list of flukers, or call them reknown gate crashers; who are basically people who come to the Hash and enjoy our runs, beer stops, fruits, mineral water and sometimes food and then they leave without paying the mandatory 7K. The list is almost ready, its just that he was complaining about not getting the book or something from the hash Cash to confirm his finding. So watch this space.
