Hare;- Muchira and Engabu. Later Muchira mentioned to me that they were assisted by their sons Ssekachira and Allan.

Up Circle; - The up circle was called by Party Boy, the Hash master with the help of the giant microphones inside the swanky Night Club. I noticed Hash Mattress Hot Pants eagerly searching a bottle of beer to perform one of the famous start of run “New Shoes’ baptisms”. She got the beer from the reluctant bar maid (I wonder if they still call them that), and looked around for any new shoes, there was none, so we could not let a perfectly good beer to go to waste. So we, I mean me, Dirty Dick and Hot pants down downed it right there on the sanding floor before the run begun. Hot Pants, I must say took the Lioness’ share of that beer. The up circle included a caution from Muchira warning Hashers not to use the U-Turn over there and instead drive the ‘longo” way till the roundabout. (I was nabbed there doing the exact same thing once, and I think so has he,). Anyway, off we went.
The Run; -
If you need to know one thing about Muchira’s runs that I am beginning to think are his signature runs, Once the run starts, be sure to do a run around the outside perimeter of the establishment where the run has been set from. This happened at that run opposite Roofings. I recall it was called ……. Something gardens, and the same thing happened at Nyondo Pub. But it is a good way to keep the numbers well spread out. The turn up was so good. We were getting close to about 150 people that started out that day. There was a timely beer stop at the first check point. This happened just right outside the gates of the residence of our very own Hasher Engabu. He served us 2 crates of the warmest beer that has ever hit my thirsty beer drinking throat. It felt like African tea at that temperature. But as they say, a beer is a beer. Run was a nice long one mostly rural terrain and with Check points in just the right places. The run having been set up by the most seasoned hasher went up to the top of one of those hills in Najjanankumbi where we had he second check point. I asked Baby Hen what the hill was called and he told me,” I have no idea”. Anyway, Witch Doctor told me that there was a house on that Hill which belonged to one of Uganda’s First Architects, (I heard some people refer to him as 'He used to be an Architecture!?) and legend has it that it was such an Architectural marvel that he never allowed any outsiders to visit this house or have a look at it at any one time during his lifetime that until now it is still a huge secret in the architectural World of Uganda. Anyway, I could have certainly have liked to have a look at it, but this was not possible as you can only see its roof from the Check point. Anyway, get the full details from Witch Doctor. If you want to have a guided tour of this premise. . Or is it premises, contact Conman, pay the usual tour fees, and off you there you are.
The circle.
The circle started round about 7:30 pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. The Hares were those two w*****rs that I mentioned above. The new comers included Anthony, returnee, Julia who was made to come by Pisser, Johan also made to come by Pisser, Bakyayita Nicholas Ronnie Bakyayita both made to come by Engabu. We had some new shoes from veteran Hasher and former multiple Hare Raiser, Al’s bar. Apparently, Al’s had new shoes and new socks too, so the beer was filtered thru the the new shoes and he drunk down the whole mix, without leaving a single drop to go to waste. True Hasher!!! There were other Newbies but I did not get enough time to get their names, so maybe next time.
Announcements: - Next Run will take place at Kisubi Beach, on Saturday, 1st May 2010. I tried all sorts of people including the Hash master and the Hare Raiser to get the venue of the next Monday Run, but he told me that this information is yet to be confirmed. In any case, we have had enough runs this season and a break would come in handy. (Just kidding)
Sinners;
• Stretch Marks for . . . . . . I do not really recall, but she seems to be one of those persons who always gets picked on for things like inners. Actually , the other day, she was telling me that here was a season when she got so many hashits that she felt like the entire hash was doing it on purpose .Come to think of it, it’s quite some time since she got any HS. So member out there, kindly do her the honors.
• Apalia for oba what
• Rip-off for appearing in the newspapers.
• Queenie, Conman, Perry Mason were all nominated for sinners.
• We had a happy Bash Day for Kwashiorkor; you should have been there to see the sweetest smile in the world that she gave me when we reached that part in the Happy Birth day song when you mention the name of the birthday person. Almost everyone just chall/became silent at that time and almost only me managed to shout out that Hash handle. Bambi, it was such a sweet smile. I promise her a Nile Gold bottle on my account at the Nile Gold Sponsored Run at Kisubi Beach. By, the way, talking about Kisubi beach, it’s going to be a total blast. Miss it only if you can, you remember moonwanker, he is now back into the business . . .I MEAN THE BEER BUSINESS. . . .AND HE IS PART OF THE WHOLE KISUBI BEACH DO. And you know when he is running those promos, there is enough frothy stuff to last all night. !!! The run itself is 10K the rest of the night accommodation is an extra 20k. This will cater for your transport to the Beach from National theatre parking.
Chatterboxes; -
Was won by Terry’s Pussy who was given a double glass down down, which he swallowed in dubious sytle, pouring from one glass to the other while taking sips in between. He ensured that the bulk of the beer was poured to the ground.
Hashshit;-
The hashit was won by Volcanic Hash who it was alleged that she always attends the hash tries her best not to participate in the circle and spends so much of her circle time talking endlessly with whoever is around her. Idi Amin, His Excellency, the conqueror of the British Empire was there too as one of the Nominees for Hashit. Dirty Dick nominated him for going on national Television and in Amin style, telling the whole nation that it was indeed true that there is no more fuel in the country. Apparently, some technocrats at the ministry decided that the last few remaining drops of fuel be shared equally among seven hundred trailers and these trailers would immediately be dispatched to Mombasa to get us the fuel. However, due to some over sight, none of the trucks was given enough fuel to reach Mombasa, so all of them run out of fuel at the same time. They all ground to a sudden halt just after passing Athi River after Nairobi city. So the trucks are stranded the drivers are stranded its circus time once again. (Anyway, this explanation, or something similar was the reason why we were experiencing the crisis). Anyway, he somehow survived Hashit. The Circle ended at 7:45 pm and it was Dinner time.
Dinner
Dinner too was another affair. It was composed of delicious beef sausages, roasted whole Irish potato, salads, fried beef shop and kitchen . . . sorry chicken. Even those goody goodies that sometimes walk away from our food o go home and eat their stayed around to have a go at it. Hot pants was on hand to ensure that the flukers were not permitted to join the food queue. Again we experienced that problem of where the food gets finished and we have to resort to having half portions or something. Overall the food was quite enough to satisfy those hungry throats. After Dinner it was Dance time.
The Dance
That dance hall is really a very nice one, with lots of space in it, high quality sound system, lots of Air conditioning. It was not just air conditioning. Those guys have got a system that gets in so much air and expels it out so fast that you would think you are in a wind tunnel trying to test one of those new Jets from Russia that can even perform somersaults that we are almost acquiring to show off to/scare tour neighbors. Anyway, the place is so hot, or is it so cool that we should have another party there soon. The DJ took some time to get into the mood off the day, I kind of think that the was a bit over whelmed by the quantity of music that he had at his disposal and he kept on jumping room here to there. However one thing that I noticed is that almost all of the music he was playing had an accompanying video. Kudos to him. When they played Yori yori, you could not mistake the look of pure smile. (I hope that that is correct English. . . .)(Look of joy on a smile???!!! I will ask hackenbush to teach me how to better phrase that one) anyway, anyway, anyway. . . They also had a vintage video of Luther Vandros’ Dance with my Father. It was my first time to watch that one video and it left an indelible memory.
The Dance, you know, it’s almost impossible to ‘talk” about a dance. How do you talk about a dance? we Reggae danced to Bobby Marley’s Timeless classics, Danced to Lucky Dube’s Music, Danced to traditional Luganda Music “Tugenda mu Lubiri e’mengo, Abakyala, mwambale busuuti kubanga ttugenda mu Lubiri e’Mengo”. – probably Saava Kareem. We danced e’kitagururo to those songs from western Uganda and crowned it all with with the South African miners shuffle” Ntabanjalo”, which to date is still disturbing Goofy. When he is supposed to move away from you, he moves towards you. When it’s time to move left, he moves right, colliding with you. Dayo uses the same system too. We danced in the circle, coming one by one to the centre of the circle to show of our latest dance moves. It was a night to remember!!!
Anyway, to pen it off, hope to see you there at the Kisubi run. Probably should not be reporting this but as you know, everyone loves a good rumour. . . here it goes. Remember its all a rumor.
Rumour
Rumour has it that during one of KH3’s biggest Run’s of the that we have held this year, caterer of the day as of the Nyondo run had not been paid a single shilling because of disagreements involving the Hare, assistant hare raisers, the caterer and Hash cash. The rumour says that the actual turn up was about 179 Hashers, however the initial budget estimate which had been prepared by the assistant Hare raisers was a budget for 120 hashers. However, someone who is very conversant with predicting the future thought to themselves and decided that the estimation for just 120 plates of food would not be sufficient to cater for all. So, in their wisdom, they dramatically hiked up this number to 200 people, and communicated to the caterer to prepare meals for that many. Of course the caterer was only too happy to make this adjustment and so they did. You all know what it means when you make any change that involves more than 5 or ten people. The Hash Cash might eat you alive!! Anyway, the Caterer went ahead and prepared a meal to satisfy 200 people, hoping that the turn up would be good and every one would be happy and then all concerned parties would get paid, and that that would be that. Well, the turn up was excellent!! Fruits, were there as usual although the walker must have cleared the bulk of them just before the Runner s and hashers arrived, but of course we are used to that, water was there. Food, I remember I ate, and hope lots of other ate too. However, hash cash thinks that maybe some people did not eat or the food run out at some point. Anyway, this always happens, but there no major crisis as far as those people who were served is concerned. Anyway, after all is said and done, the interested parties presented their Audit reports to the PAC like Hash cash. I think hash cash told them that he could only pay for the originally aniticipated 120 people. They refused to touch this money. The sitiation has been at stale mate for the past three or so weeks. Until GM Pisser was called upon to intervene. I hear he tired to bring some conclusion to this lingering affair at the Nyondo run but still the situation has yet to be resolved. In the meantime, a lot of hot exchanges have taken place between some of the concerned parties. I hope with the untimely leakage of this information, we are likely to see a speedier conclusion to this matter.

Run 1374
Run 1374 – Nanyonga House, Namagoma, 30 meters after the kobil Petrol Station located between Nabbingo and namagoma, turn right and there you are. Land Lord’s Up Country Homes. I remember seeing a white goat tied to one of the many trees in the compound and thinking to myself that I hope that land Lord does not intend to have that small young goat slaughtered to satisfy these W*****rs. I mean it really looked too young to have to undergo this humiliating ordeal, it really felt like child abuse. . . no goat abuse to me.
Anyway, the regular Saturday run fee is 10,000/= but this too was subsidized to 7,000/= courtesy of land lord. Cheers to him, and on no to him too.
Hare;- Land Lord and Mukyala who were assisted by Dayo to do the marking of the trail. Probably I think, Mukyala spent most of the time in the Kitchen, preparing the dinner, while Dayo did the trial and land Lord did what most lad lords do. . . they make sure that everything is all right.
Date: - Saturday 24th April 2010

Up Circle; - The up circle was called by Hash master party boy at 11 minutes to the official starting time of the run. Lots of Hashers were still driving riding or boda bodaring there away to the venue, so land Lord requested that we wait a little for them to arrive. Of course you know, this was accompanied by the famous chant. . “Why are we waiting’? The Bus that Land Lord offered to transport the Hasher from National Theatre got there at about 4:30 pm almost full of the famous KH3 hashers. There was a disco on the grounds too, courtesy of the hares and we had the privilege of having a tour de Nanyonga conducted by the Land Lord hinmslef. The house is surely something of an architectural wonder in the area. Real creativity all over.
We had a speech from our host land Lord, the majority of it delivered in Swahili and I really tried my n\best to have it recorded and could only manage to come up with bits and pieces of it. But here it goes what I had, mostly I do not know what they mean, but they sounded like welcome remarks or warning etc

PAKA NAGBBINGO
YIKO PALLE FISH FARMING 9I think this referred to a fish farm ha we saw in one of the valleys that we passed, it seems land lord has a fish farming process going on)
ENTERTAINMENT NA CHAKULA
Land Lord also invited those who are interested in becoming his neighbors to that he had plenty of plots on sales available ranging from 11 million to 20 million. Those who would like to have him as his neighbor are welcome.
During the up circle, we had the Father Abraham song being sung led by Dayo as we tried to wait for the late comers to arrive.
The Run; - Run was a nice long one mostly rural terrain and with Check points in just the right places. The run having been set up by the most seasoned hasher that the KH3 fraternity has to offer, I mean as in Dayo himself, edging ever close to the 900 run mark closely watched by Anonymous who is not losing a single run these day, the run itself was a master piece. The walker kind of complained that it was too short for them but as you all know them, serves them right. I have the chance to speak to Ayimar yima during the run and she explained to me that the Hash shit of a week ago was actually meant for her but there has been some sort of mistaken identity regarding herself and Etonya tonya, mostly was a result of the fact that they got baptized on the same day and many people confuse one for the other. (I hope to conduct DNA testing to ensure that they are not some sort of twins.
The run took us to Nabbingo Catholic Diocese church down from the swampy Nakati, where by design or good fortune, we had a check point just next to a Waragi Bar in Nabbingo. Where a few of us clever ones who had traveled with some change ordered a few rounds of Waragi / kasese / crude waragi name it what you want but it is as delicious as black label itself. Me and a couple of enthusiasts contributed and bought a glass of the nectar/ muchuzi, however, with the recent incidences of people going blind and some dying from the brew, we were swallowing the juice with a little bit of apprehension, hoping that I hope I am not going to be another Waragi Statistic. Anyway, any way, anyway. Dirty Dick mentioned to me earlier on that he would not be making it for the run because he was torn between having to watch the Season ending rugby league game between the formerly unbeaten Heathens (who were thumped recently by Kobs) and the fast improving Pirates. Anyway, his excuse had nothing to do with hashing so it really sounded like b*****t to me. But later, after the run, he turned up to witness the likes of Mupakasi, Perry Mason and Conman contributing or raising money among themselves to have a crate of tuskers delivered. We shall come to that later.
The trail traversed through a fish farm and a lot of downhill and uphill running through villager’s trails. We passed a group of young village lads who were so amused by the whole idea of seeing Hashers for the first time passing near their well; it was like Christmas day had come early for them. What joy!! They cheered on every hasher trying their best to direct us to where the others had passed etc.
The circle.
The circle started round about 7:00pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. Jamilah ssenyonga who was made to come by Kilavu lavu.
Lillian Nanyonga Nalongo Mutawwe, how I think is hash Cash’s assistant, Robert Okia, who was made to come by Daphne, otherwise known as Narrow arrow., Mbabazi Goretti, Natalie Pheonah, Alice Kizza, Solome Bakka who was made to come by porkino, nakimuli Beatrice, Sherina Bakka
Sinners;
• Perry mason was nominated for something to do with glasses.
• An Architect was nominated for something I did not get. Apalia too somehow came into the picture.
• Goofy for eating the roasted at right in the middle of the circle.
• Tutu for bringing an underage kid to the circle and feeding him on large quantities of the frothy stuff
• A group of Hashers for performing an illegal waragi stop in the middle of the run. Apparently, Katanga Bbi, Mayanja, Toilet window, Alexis etc. had stopped at a local waragi outlet during the circle and ordered for glasses and glasses of crude waragi in the middle of the run. They were given down downs for being too thirsty.
Chatterboxes; - tumbocide for talking non-stop to Itching thighs, Daddy’s Girl for speaking continuously on her vibrating machine. The winner was Daddy’s Girl.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Announcements made on that day included for us to get prepared for the Kisubi Beach run on Saturday 1st April 2010. Others included next Monday’s run due to take place at Nyondo Night Club Najjanankumbi. I wish hackenbush as around and he tries to prounonuce that word najjanankumbi.
Hashshit;-
The hashit was won by toilet window for his constant use of Lusoga language words that sound . . . well that if translated into other languagaes world sound vulgar to say the least. Words like ‘Tinkumanya” which is I do not know in Runyankole would sound very different if shouted out loud in other languages like Lusoga. Any way, anyway, any way. . . Nsanyuse

Written by Katanga Bbi
Hares; The runs are coming on so thick and so fast these days that we are having a serious threat of being hashited one of these if the usual suspects like Conman and Perry Mason begin to ask about “Where is last week’s blog/ How come it has not yet been posted? Etc.) I am beginning to appreciate why those journalist need to get paid those six zero salaries. It’s really so much work to get up and jolt the brain for something interesting to say. Anyway, anyway anyway, here we go. The hares for the run that day were those two, defaulter and Pork threader. They hooked up with the Night Spot people and we gather at the entrance, wherever you could get parking and proceeded to do our thing. Apparently there seemed o have been some sort of parking problem but that must have sorted itself out somehow.
Up Circle; - The up circle took place at the verandah to the entrance to the Prime Night spot overlooking the Bakuli Nakulabye stage (Agendelawo) Stage . . . basically this means the taxi stage where they always tell you that the taxi is leaving immediately, but the mieediatley could be anything nbetween 2 – 230 minutes.
The Run; - The run had a lovely beer stop where the EFE larger was served to the Hahsers. The run itself was very short, the beer stop was atop of Namirembe Hill where this time we were warned to keep the decibels lower as we enjoyed the frothy stuff. The run took us to Nakulabye then up hill towards the mengo Bulange junction, and round till we returned. . Or you could say till we returned back to Prime Night spot;
The circle.
The circle started round about 7:00pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. Among the ugly faces we had that day was vibrator who is returning after a marathon baby making session, apparently, but this she denied. Georgia and Helen from the U.K. . . .
Sinners;
• Pork Threader for having a twin, this attracted other twins ha included Kato and Babirye plus of course the famous Dirty Dick who always confuses himself with the brother.
• Mupakasi for making too much noise at the hash.
• Mukpakasi once again for sexercising during the circle
• Same applied to Foxy who was performing some illegal sexercises at one point during the run.
• Kifulugunyu for something that I barely recall
• Dirty again for something that I did not get. Sewage for coming in so late that one can only conclude that he came in to eat the food, and drink the wine.
• Somehow thro ugh all this chaos read ‘kavuyo’ loketo, peeping Dick and Kisanja became sinners.
BAPTISMS
Believe it or not, in 2006, I received a card Inviting me to attend the baptism ceremony of Blah blah bla blah and their children and then later to a get together lunch. However, the invitation was clearly marked Baptisation ceremony. Any, way, we had our very own multiple Baptisation ceremony at Prime Night Spot that day, with Regina Nakkazi becoming Volcanic Hash, thanks to the volcanic ash that has been making travel much easier across European skies of recent.
Paul Agaba became Machinery, courtesy of the fact that his job entails working with all kinds of Machines. He survived being called Kachupa for some reason. Kachupa means bottle or a ka small bottle.
Sharifa and her good friend zurah wanted to come into the circle to be baptized but everyone seemed to think that they have not yet made 20 runs so they just have to sit tight and enjoy the ride. Dr. Wilberforce Sekireme was named Abortion after possible hash handles like Monster, kasepiki failed. Actually kasepiki failed because one hash Maser reasoned that it has got nothing much to do with Hashing, which may or may not be true.
Chatterboxes; - the nominees were Flavia Namulondo who was putting on a miss USA T-shirts and Mupakasi. Flavia won this one hands down.
Hashshit;-
The nominees were Red Kifulugunyu for always complaining about how lousy the run was despite the fact that he has been hashing for so long and yet may never have set a single run. Etonyatonya was nominated for having a similar sounding name to Aimar yima, or so the hash master thought, and of course, the hash master’s word being final, Etonya tonya won this one hands down.
Announcements were made about upcoming runs

The circle started round about 7:00pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. Among the ugly faces we had that day was vibrator who is returning after a marathon baby making session, apparently, but this she denied. Georgia and Helen from the U.K. . . .
Sinners;
• Pork Threader for having a twin, this attracted other twins ha included Kato and Babirye plus of course the famous Dirty Dick who always confuses himself with the brother.
• Mupakasi for making too much noise at the hash.
• Mukpakasi once again for sexercising during the circle
• Same applied to Foxy who was performing some illegal sexercises at one point during the run.
• Kifulugunyu for something that I barely recall
• Dirty again for something that I did not get. Sewage for coming in so late that one can only conclude that he came in to eat the food, and drink the wine.
• Somehow thro ugh all this chaos read ‘kavuyo’ loketo, peeping Dick and Kisanja became sinners.
BAPTISMS
Believe it or not, in 2006, I received a card Inviting me to attend the baptism ceremony of Blah blah bla blah and their children and then later to a get together lunch. However, the invitation was clearly marked Baptisation ceremony. Any, way, we had our very own multiple Baptisation ceremony at Prime Night Spot that day, with Regina Nakkazi becoming Volcanic Hash, thanks to the volcanic ash that has been making travel much easier across European skies of recent.
Paul Agaba became Machinery, courtesy of the fact that his job entails working with all kinds of Machines. He survived being called Kachupa for some reason. Kachupa means bottle or a ka small bottle.
Sharifa and her good friend zurah wanted to come into the circle to be baptized but everyone seemed to think that they have not yet made 20 runs so they just have to sit tight and enjoy the ride. Dr. Wilberforce Sekireme was named Abortion after possible hash handles like Monster, kasepiki failed. Actually kasepiki failed because one hash Maser reasoned that it has got nothing much to do with Hashing, which may or may not be true.
Chatterboxes; - the nominees were Flavia Namulondo who was putting on a miss USA T-shirts and Mupakasi. Flavia won this one hands down.
Hashshit;-
The nominees were Red Kifulugunyu for always complaining about how lousy the run was despite the fact that he has been hashing for so long and yet may never have set a single run. Etonyatonya was nominated for having a similar sounding name to Aimar yima, or so the hash master thought, and of course, the hash master’s word being final, Etonya tonya won this one hands down.
Announcements were made about upcoming runs

Run # 1371 - Kabaka's Birthday Run 2010
April 12th, 2010
Bulange
Hares: Dirty Dick, Federo, Measles
Edited on May 3rd, 2010 to add: Very sorry to Measles and Parasite for the mix-up, I will stop relying on drunk hashers to tell me who's who in the circle!! and of course I will insist that they speak English as it is the official language of the hash. Can someone please tell me though - was it Parasite or Measles who had the new shoes?! Will edit accordingly.
I had to hurry up and post this so as not to be surpassed by Kantanga Bbi's speedy blogging and get things all out of order. Lucky for me he seems to be having internet problems lately.
The Kabaka's Birthday Run was held at Bulange and hared by Federo and his minions, one of whom (Parasite) was caught with new shoes - you'd think he was a rookie, thinking he'd get away without a shoe-o-beer at a hash he's haring.
The run actually started early - something I truly could not figure out seeing as Federo is usually chasing at any other hash. Once we started we were treated to several of the hills that part of town is famous for, nearly 7 of them! There were far too few cannons on the run but with beer stops at Namirembe and the Kabaka's Palace, hashers were so ecstatic that they hardly noticed it was that Efes swill. The hash was attended by lots of "newcomers" from Buganda including the Katikiro and the Buganda Minister of Sport (yeah, I was baffled about this one too but he had a sweet Adidas warm-up suit that said "Buganda Kingdom" on the back. You think they need an assistant minister? or maybe Buganda Kingdom Head Swim Coach??? I hereby submit my CV and candidacy if it means I'd get that sweet get-up)
When we arrived the water and fruit were swarmed as usual but when the dust settled the cake was cut... twice and the beer started flowing. Ok, ok so two cakes were cut but will someone PLEASE explain to me a few things??? Why on earth is the cake and frosting here is dry? I don't want to seem ungrateful for free cake but the frosting was like a rock. If someone opens a bakery that can really do cake they'll make a fortune - so far my winner is the chocolate cake at Java's Cafe. My next question is why didn't the Kabaka show up to this ragingly awesome party his little bro threw for him? I mean, three beer stops, two cakes, music, dancing and even a few muzungus acting a fool?? What more could he ask for?
Anyway, on to the circle. After all the cake cutting and fanfare we are, after all, still a drinking group with a running problem. The hares were saluted with a down down but Federo couldn't be bothered to show up for his so the got a look alike (Just Charlotte) to step in.
Newcomers:
- Just Petra from Finland said she isn't married and she's searching, Tumbocide (her host father) made her come.
- Just Natalie is a new physio at IHK and she made herself come - should know those doctor-ish types are good at masturbating!
- Just Dieter from Germany is on vacation and training for a marathon - ooh la la
- Just Zora was made to come by Diggy Ass - is it just me or has Diggy Ass been making an awful lot of newcomers come lately?
Returnee - Blue Movie said that he's been hiding out in a cave
Sinners:
- Ripoff for being unintelligible when he does hash calls
- Dayo for making the rookie mistake of walking through the checkpoint circle
- Lokato and Foxy for having sex on the hash - Foxy was looking up Lokato's shorts
- Stretchmarks for thinking that her future's so bright she has to wear shades
- Thierry's Pussy and Pap Smear - now let's see if I can get this right, she shouted some kind of obscenity at him and he got so embarrassed that he blushed
- Landlord for shitting in the circle
- Knock Knees for coming late
- Perry Mason, Conman, Mupakasi and Swine Flu for wearing strange long shirts that appeared to be specially designed for the occasion
Chatterbox:
- Whopper and Leaking Balls - both for using vibrating machines during the hash
- Mechanica for directing traffic
Hash democracy found Mechanica to be the winner
Hashit:
- Cockroach who apparently rode his bike to the hash but didn't bother running
- Pisser who forgot to bring the KH3 banner to the Bududa Charity Run
- Buffalo Dung and Dick Chopper who came to the Bududa run and only drank - typical
- Idi Amin claimed there was oil when there was none
- Federo didn't wear the proper attire but he sent his (public) "defenders" in his place and the took the punishment for him - Hashit was given to the "4 Musketeers" in their funky kanzus
On! On! until next week, Solar Erection

Run 1370 – Gumy Gardens Kulambiro
Hare;- Sunset Stripper
Date: - 3rd March 2010, Easter Monday
Written by Katanga Bbi
Hares; Hares were Sunset Stripper, with Mpuuta Once again joining the fray as the assistant to the Hare. Others who helped in organizing the run included Wide Load and Dick Chopper who manned or should I say womaned the Beer Stop
Up Circle; - At the time the up circle was taking place, I was on a Boda Boda rushing to the hahs Venue. I missed that part and he first check point.
The Run; - Run was a nice long one mostly rural terrain and with Check points in just the right places. Some where along the run the poor walkers got so hopelessly lost and you should have been there to see them fuming at the hare when they missed the turn off towards the swamp section. There was a Beer stop at the third check point courtesy of the hares. Where we drunk the famous EFE lager, manufactured somewhere in Istanbul,Turkey.
The circle.
The circle started round about 7:00pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. Among the ugly faces we had that day were a team of Queen Dancers from Kigali who included Back yard Booty, Me 2 you, Hot Chocolate, Ganja Planter, Juicy Pumpkin, a one Bob, Juicy or was it Lucy a new comer, Nsubuga Godfrey who was made to come by Kamdulu, Daphne Arrow girl’s gal also know as Narrow Arrow. We later had a vigouruos song by the Kigali Hashers., all I had form that song were the words ndahuru, Ndahuru ndahuru, anyway, they deserved our down downs as the KH3 Hashers song to them the famous “sounds like, sounds like sounds like b*****t to me”.
Sinners;
Hashshit;-
The nominees were Red Dick for having more than 50 runs and never having been baptized.
Warm Beer for having broken his third leg.
John Mayanja for always putting on a Hash t-shirts right in the middle of Kampala Road on a regular basis. Red Dick Won this one and that marked the end of this run.

Sinners;
- Saddam for scratching his b***s awkwardly while one of the Kigali hashettes introduced herself.
- Stretch Marks for a fashion statement putting on her shoes first before she put on her socks, actually it was her G-string on top on the outside, with no hahs T-shirt on her.
- Perry Mason nominated Charlotte for bringing a guest to the circle and not informing this guest of the rules of the hjash especially thoe one the adoes not aloow sitting in the Circel .he guest just happened to be her 18 Months German Sherperd baidric who actually has now run two run. Come to think of it, If the dog has two runs, does he pay forhte runs!? And if he pays for the runs does he alos get served the fruits and he drinks tc. All those sorts of interesting questions. Any way, anyway anyway,
- We had Mayanja John for coming in new shoes together with Etonya tonya for the same offence, They enjoyed the Moonberg lagers form their shoes.
- Perry Mason was nabbed for having a ring some sort of ring anyway, that signified som unknown event tha he happened to recently.
- Mpuuta for inidicating on the Email abnout the run that the turn off is 3 meteres from the round about and there by getting many hashers needlessly.
- Big Balls bro, small balls for coming in late round about 6:30 pm when the run actually started at 5:30 pm.
- Hacken Bush nominated Galloping Major for attempting to strike a coalescence withte visisting Kigali hashers despite the fact that the tensions at the Border have eased. Hairy breasts for shouting at Children who were shouting at him. Actaully this almost got him a nomination for hashit.
- Mupakasi and his colleague in the rat race Max Mutabingwa who until then had never been baptized and promptly, has hstyle, names started pouring in until the Visiting Kigali Hashers who were all clad in these lovely Red Mitzig Lager suggested Red D**k.
- Stacey and Allison were almost hashitted for being heard saying “How can you bring a f****in dog to the circle.

Run 1369 – Wavz End Hotel, Restaurant and Bar, along Kasanga – Ggaba road
Date: - 29th March 2010
Written by Katanga Bbi
Hares; The Hares were Mpuuta and another Hashette, whose hash handle I failed to get. She actually seemed to be oblivious throughout the run, with a non appearance from her at the up circle, and hiding herself in the shadows all through the run. I guest this is the feeling that you get when you are setting a run for the first time, or when you are not yet fully used to the Hashers, and you are so fearful of these people who make their friends drink beer from their shoes, make them kneel down for no proper reason etc. One of the most enduring and nerve numbing words about how to let your hair down and have fun at the hash were told to me by Sunset Stripper. There was a time, not too long ago, when I too was very afraid of those fearful Hashers. Not anymore. Anyway, that was a long time and she noticed I was trembling like Christopher Cor-panic-us when I was making the announcement. Later, she came round to me and told me, Katanga, I didn’t know that you fear these hashers. These are just w**kers. There is no reason at all to be afraid of them. From that moment on, I simply became immune to them.
Up Circle; - Was held almost five minutes into the hour. 6:05 pm. There was a bit of a delay in starting the circle, however, the sudden appearance of the chalk clad Mpuuta showed us that definitely the run was one. Chalk clad in that Mpuuta was virtually unrecognizable. He was covered with from head to toe. Actually there had been a delay I n announcing the venue of the run, for some reason, probably the lack of a hare or something. Similarly, I think the hare started marking the route a few minutes to the start of the race suing a boda boda. By the way, a Boda boda is a motorcycle that you can be ridden on in return for fee. The situation is really getting desperate with the Hare raiser so far, himself, having set almost five runs between now Jan and March 2010. This friend is an anomaly at 11:45 (see the movie Armageddon). Anyway, the up circle was held, and thereafter, we sped off.
The Run; - It was the run from hell. Long predictable, trail, no check backs, actually, a seasoned hasher will know that it was all something done so hurriedly, by the Boda Boda man. Obvious runs, no check back etc. Time check from start to first check was about 25 minutes so that almost 3 km. likewise for the second check pint, another 30 minutes, almost r4KM while the last one was about 2 KM. Overall it was an even 9 KM run. At the end of the run, were. Some of us were completely knocked out. But it worth it. There were enough fruits at the end of it all, and enough water.
The circle.
The circle started round about 7:30 pm with the introduction of the hares and the ugly faces/new comers. Among the ugly faces were Chili Sauce who is practicing is craft at Nairoberry these days, Miriam from Amsterdam, she told me that she has hashed before in Indonesia and Thailand. Catherin who is returning to the Hash after some time. There after we had a song from Chilly Sauce, which was quite a lovely Hash song that sounded like b******t to many.

Chatterboxes; - Big Balls was nominated together with Fred Lutaaya. In the process, there was one Susan, a preeminent Socialite in Kampala who furiously objective to introduce herself to the hashers on her maiden run and when she was told by Late GM Pisser to kneel as in on your knees, her eyes almost popped out. I do hop e she enjoyed herself at the run and she returns, We need a few more goddy goddies to make the Kampala Hash a little bit more interesting. But deep down, for those of you who are lucky enough to have met or spoken to her, she is really a very nice person. Bound to make the Hasher a little bit richer as in character and as in beers, just wait and see. Anyway, enough of that day dreaming. On On to the other Chatter boxes. We had Nakuzambwa (Loosely translated this could mean either, the misery of dogs, or the days of dogs), Tony Kiyingi, who seemed not to know how to pronounce his own name, or was speaking in an accent or something, either way, I had to ask him about five times to get it right. pardon, pardon, pardon , pardon. I had to ask him pardon about five times to get it right.
Hashshit;-
The nominees for this most prestigious award were Dirty Dick, a rue and renowned Hasher for choosing to ignore a check back. Mpuuta for holding an illegal circle within a circle. And Bent Dick for being a goody goody. The elections were held, and the elections were disputed until the appeal brought home Dirty Dick as the winner of this most prestigious award.
As I pen off, did you know that Elephant is one of the founder members of the Kampala Rugby Club. Yeas. Those are the guys who used to close that location not so long ago. Recently he has telling us how close he came to facing his makers a long time ago when some ignoramus shot a full magazine at him at point blank range and not a single shot reached him somewhere within the vicinity of the Rugby grounds about 30 years ago. It’s quite a tale. If you need the full details just log on to www.elephant.com
I saw this speech on my bro’s lap top and . . . well it has got nothing to do with a running club with a drinking problem.
Bridging the Gap: By General Colin Powell
General Colin Luther Powell:
American Statesman and Four Star General in the United States Army,
Former Secretary of State to President George W. Bush
African American….
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl... Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. “A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.”
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.
Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes…do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.
“In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our friends.”
“Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them.”
“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”…

Chatterboxes; - Big Balls was nominated together with Fred Lutaaya. In the process, there was one Susan, a preeminent Socialite in Kampala who furiously objective to introduce herself to the hashers on her maiden run and when she was told by Late GM Pisser to kneel as in on your knees, her eyes almost popped out. I do hop e she enjoyed herself at the run and she returns, We need a few more goddy goddies to make the Kampala Hash a little bit more interesting. But deep down, for those of you who are lucky enough to have met or spoken to her, she is really a very nice person. Bound to make the Hasher a little bit richer as in character and as in beers, just wait and see. Anyway, enough of that day dreaming. On On to the other Chatter boxes. We had Nakuzambwa (Loosely translated this could mean either, the misery of dogs, or the days of dogs), Tony Kiyingi, who seemed not to know how to pronounce his own name, or was speaking in an accent or something, either way, I had to ask him about five times to get it right. pardon, pardon, pardon , pardon. I had to ask him pardon about five times to get it right.
Hashshit;-
The nominees for this most prestigious award were Dirty Dick, a rue and renowned Hasher for choosing to ignore a check back. Mpuuta for holding an illegal circle within a circle. And Bent Dick for being a goody goody. The elections were held, and the elections were disputed until the appeal brought home Dirty Dick as the winner of this most prestigious award.
As I pen off, did you know that Elephant is one of the founder members of the Kampala Rugby Club. Yeas. Those are the guys who used to close that location not so long ago. Recently he has telling us how close he came to facing his makers a long time ago when some ignoramus shot a full magazine at him at point blank range and not a single shot reached him somewhere within the vicinity of the Rugby grounds about 30 years ago. It’s quite a tale. If you need the full details just log on to www.elephant.com
I saw this speech on my bro’s lap top and . . . well it has got nothing to do with a running club with a drinking problem.
Bridging the Gap: By General Colin Powell
General Colin Luther Powell:
American Statesman and Four Star General in the United States Army,
Former Secretary of State to President George W. Bush
African American….
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl... Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. “A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.”
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.
Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes…do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.
“In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our friends.”
“Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them.”
“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”…
Colin Powell
