Hares;

The official Hares were Muchira and Sekachira who hired the services of Buffalo Dung as the mercenary Hare.

Up Circle;- The Up circle, also called the first circle before the run begins was help under the auspices of Hash Master Party Boy, with Assistance from Hash Beers who had earlier conducted a search for new shoes which managed to net Hash Mattress; Hot Pants and Mukyala showing off their new shoes. Mukyala tried to defend herself by saying that the shoes were not new but Land Lord could have nothing of this as he insisted that they indeed were new shoes. So they did perform a down down with their new shoes. Hackenbush made it even taste better for Hot Pants as he filtered the beer through her new socks! Arghhh!?, And of course, Queenie was there at the beginning of the circle to surprise random hasher with the what’s the run number business. He netted two who did not know what run number it was they were Filbert (I did not get his hash handle) and Kwash. Announcements were made at the Up circle, The 7th March 2010 KH37 Hills run is on, and basically we are just six days away. First 50 people to register will have their times electronically and digitally recorded by an internationally recognized electronic timer. I should say this might improve on previous timed runs like the just concluded M/s Pisser and Associates timed Kaazi Run where the total amount of Chaos or Kavuyo that the timer at the end of the run was is simply un… unthinkable!. Dirty Dick had the best time, yet he had come in about twelfth or fifteenth position, etc. Eventually the matter had to be decided by approaximation. To try and get the true picture of what happened, some of us were subjected to questions like “was Warm beer in front of you or behind you ” or “did Mupakasi overtake you towards the close of the run?” etc. And that is just the time of the Ice berg. Anyway, back to the present. The seven Hills run is going to be Sponsored by Parambot Breweries the Manufacturers/brewers of the famous Moonberg Lager. Lots of free goodies like T-shirts before the run, lots of water points during the run, an Ambulance to take care of those ones who might injure themselves because of the run, Prizes for the best and worst finishers etc. Run starts at 6:45 am, strictly 6:45 am. So be there at least thirty minutes to the start. Harvester Pub is the starting point. It is located just next to the American Embassy along the Nsambya-Kabalagala road.

The Run;

The day having been a rainy Monday morning assured us of a somewhat muddy trail, and kicked off with a random seeming run around the perimeter of Solace Gardens with lots of check backs. The first check point was located at just across the entrance to The Roofings Factory. The second check point was located mid way the Hill that goes to that very big brown house, which Federo reminded me that it actually was not a residential house but a Church. It can be seen from the main road for miles along the main road. Actually this is where the third check point was to be located. A top this hill. Overall, a part from this being a walker’s run, there was nothing significant or worth mentioning about the run. A real bore it was really. But wait a minute, there was a Beer stop at the second check point and a whole crate of icy, cold Moonberg Lager was consumed by the hashers. The Beer Stop was courtesy of the hares, Muchira, Sekachira and Buffalo Dung. Cheers to you for this treat.

The circle.

The Circle was conducted by the hash master Party Boy and a couple of Returnees and Ugly faces were in attendance; Dirty Dick was first of all nailed by Queenie for not knowing any hash Song. He actually knows the Hash Songs but was totally disorganized/distracted throughout this run by some chick/chicken from Nairobery the entire day(they say she had along the way to clear some unfinished business) We shall get to the details of that later.
Ugly Faces; Among the newcomers and retrunees, we had Jackie who was made to come by Alexis, John Bazanye, a sign Artist who works at Nasser Road, actually, he gave me his business card and I should be using his opportunity to advertise him but I lost it. Anyway, let me look for it. . . . I can’t find it . . .may be next time. Others were; Chicken from Nairobery, Slippery When wet did get somehow involved at this stage, either he is the one who got John Bazanye to come or something, a Hasher called Johny, who was made to come by Jade, ah actually, Slippey when wet (Jade)made John come. I got that right for once. John by the way has hashed in Cameroun, Haiti, and Ghana. So its okay for him to say that he has ever been “in outside countries”. Others were Broiler who is returning from a study leave, Condom Use (CU) who has been away for some time. She hates it when you call her Condom Use so please do her a favor and refer to her as “CU”.

Sinners;

pulling his balls or should I say b****s. I didi not get the name of this one. Buffalo Dung was caught for continually whistling throughout the run. Hackenbush seriously warned him that this is not hash tradition, leave the whistles to the boy scouts, traffic Police etc., so hear that word of advice, ‘ no more Whistles’. Johny too was grabbed whistling and given a down down, actually this might just have been a ploy to get him enjoy our KH3 hospitality. Mpuuta was seen irrigating the lush green of Lubowa and given the down down. Rip off was a sinner because he mentioned something about the run that was not so palatable with someone. There is this Hasher who was given a sinner’s down down called Mayanja john. Apparently, he has hashed, with about 38 runs at the last count, and he has never been baptized. So someone important out there please do something about him. Other sinners were kabuki and Big Balls for seeking for higher office when one of them had just been running the highest office in the Land (Being Hash Master). Apparently, Big Ball had been gunning for the office of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cricket in Uganda. He got that one, he says, the job comes with perks such as flying First Class when the rest of the Players are travelling economy or worse by bus, In Uganda, you can say. “He fell in things”. Kabuki tried to shock one of our very own hashers by doing a last minute coup d’état on him as the chairperson of Cricket in Uganda. But the fella proved to be too STEADY for such cheap tricks. On On.

Announcements; Announcements made on that day included The Seven Hills Run due to take place on 7th March 2010, Harvester pub. Next week’s run will take place at Former Indoor Stadium in Lugogo. This one you do not need directions. Once again, Mpuuta the Hare raiser kindly request you to be a good Hasher and volunteer to host a run. Please, we do need Hare. Sign up today, or at the next run with Mpuuta.

Chatterboxes;- Three suspects were nominated for Chatter boxes; Kwash, Pap Smear and Nipples from Silicone Valley. Nipples is threatening to break the seven hills record, as she is continuously torturing the Front Running bastards (FRBs) with her surging runs. Pap Smear won this award with an outstanding Obama-like victory
Hashshit;- The Nominees for the most prestigious award were;- Dirty Dick and Chicken from Nairobery. Apparently, after the Naivasha Relay 2009, there was some circus as DD kept on dodging Chicken the whole night through, with Chicken wanting something sweeter than Kuku and DD not wanting to provide it. So Chicken had travelled all the way more than 800 KM to Kampala to get her things. DD became an instant candidate for Hashit. Others were, two regular female hashers we have all along been thinking that the hash is for free, or that some rich man from Kayunga (a District in Central Uganda)is bankrolling the hash or that they can hash and not pay and then imagine that nobody knows that they are ripping us off, time caught up with them. They were Ayimayima and another called Joan. It was so embarrassing, they could have wished to have the ground open up and swallow them. The third nominee was Kangaroo Crap for fasting the precious beer during the Christian Season of Lent. The Winner was, of course you know, the two ladies who do not pay! (Don’t say that I did not warn you. Perry Mason is engineering a huge crack down going on those who do not want to pay our precious 7K for the run, food, mineral water, fruits, chalk etc that we enjoy at the run so stand warned, we know who you are, you can run but you cannot hide).

Dinner and Roundup

The Circle ended at about 8:00 pm and it was dinner time. Dinner was composed of the deliciously different Sausages, chips, Fried chicken, and some P one G chops. Everyone got something to eat, almost every one, the hash master almost missed out as he came in at the last moment. He had to share a plate with Muchira and one of the people who served us. It was a bit of a chilly night and many people including yours truly took off just before 9:00 pm.

Lest I forget,

Pap Smear, Kwash and Nipples have volunteered to forward some interesting Jokes and cartoons to make this blog much more active and lively.
Pisser has got a specialized pair of shoes ideal for running in muddy terrain, so the next time you notice pisser cruising past you by on muddy terrain, blame your shoes, his shoes and not yourself.
Bin Laden has thanked you all for getting the blog idea off the ground. He is a silent but avid spectator to the blog, that should cheer you up. Johnny walker slogan , keep On Walking.
Photos of the last week’s run were posted to me by Rip off, but I am having a really hard time getting them uploaded on the blog. Why shall I do? ;-)












And finally, Dirty Dick informs me that the Monday Run will be starting at 5:00 pm instead of the usual 6:00 pm on Monday 8th March 2010, because it is a public Holiday (Men's day) so watch out for the earlier start.
