Hares; Baby Hen and Kilavu love
The Run;
The run was a standard run, just slightly short of 8 KM, although the Hare later told me it was about 9.5Km. It started from the Hash venue then went a few hundred meters along the road towards Ndeeba then branched off to climbs that big hill that you see when you reach Ndeeba, is it called Mutundwe or something. Anyway the Hares were very creative in ensuring the check points were well spread out and the runners and Hashers and the walkers reach the check points just right on time. The final section of the run took us all the way to the very top of the Hill and then it was check back time. The rest of ht run was three KM rum down the hill from the very top to the Hash venue. It actually could have been the 9.5 KM that the hare claimed it would be. After the run, we were treated to a sumptuous meal of bananas and the usual pine apples and water melon. . . Actually did you know that Water melon is the only fruit that does not have a Luganda translation . . . I heard that from somewhere near the Nakasero Market area. The translation of the word water melon is Water meloni (not that the letter “i” does not really count. Anyway, when we returned to the hash venue, we found that the World cup match between Cameroun and South Korea had been won by the South Koreans, and had ended about 30 minutes. Come to think of it, did you know some of the most tightly guarded secrets of the World cup happened in the 1942 World cup in Berlin Germany? I bet you did not know it but it is something that is only spoken or is it whispered in the corridors of the World cup head quarters. I hear there was a match in which China was playing against the Democratic republic of Congo and back then which was called Zaire and the match ended with an incredible score something like 24-0 because they way when the goal keeper would attempt to grab the ball, it would turn into a snake and he would run away from it. I hear that one of the teams requested the referee to allow them to play bare feet at the half time because they were not used to wearing football boots!! The full details of that match will never be revealed as there is a permanent injunction or do the Liars call it caveat was placed on the records by FIFA lawyer. Do not quote me.
The circle.
The circle started in the absence of the down downs. Some ignoramus decided to call the circle in regardless of the absence of the drinks that tare given out to sinners and new comers otherwise known as down downs. After a brief delay marked by the famous Christmas hash hit single “Why are we waiting”, the circle got underway.
Announcements; The announcement for the Jinja Relay was made once again. The Kampala – Jinja Relay will take place on 31st July 2010. Starting time is exactly 7:00 am in the morning. Starting venue is Kiira Trading Centre, Wakiso District. The run will start on time. There will be a bus sponsored by KH3 that will leave from the National Theatre in Kampala at exactly 6:00 am for those who will need transport to the venue. This bus too will leave on time, just like last year when it left at 05:59:54Seconds. No tricks. At last years’ Jinja relay Dirty Dick was in charge of the departure time of this bus and it was such a shock to see him dispatch this bus with only a handful of hashers on it. He said he did this so that we could learn how to keep time. Some of us learn’t the lesson.
The second announcement was about the venue of the next run. The next run will be held at a place called Daytona Bar and Restaurant which is located at the base of Mbuya hill. Directions: - after the market in Bugolobi, climb up toward the MTN Switch building and turn left and reaches the turn of to Ismail Road then about 50 Meters along Ismail Road, you will see the sign post to this Restaurant. There is a car wash bay neighboring this Daytona Restaurant. The Hash has taken place there before.
New Comers and Returnees
Mama Mia who had apparently been mining oil in the Albertine Region in one of the segments called Mpuuta One. He has shown such exceptional skill in the art or is it science of Oil Mining that He has been urgently called by the US Authorities and BP Management to try and find out a way of helping to stop that oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico once and for all!! He recommended the sending of a Nuclear Missile down to the base of that thing and blasts that thing to kingdom come. It is hoped that the force of the blast will scatter a lot of debris which is likely to close the leak, at least for some time as we think of “banange” what shall we do (or is it “Why shall I do?). The thing has refused to stop!! Anyway, If this Mama Mia solution fails, we will contact Teeny, who has been in outside countries for such a long time to get us the Final Solution to this quagmire.
Other New comers included Adam Harris., who was made to come by Chi also a new comer. Apparently Chi is both from the UK and Nigeria; I hope you know what that means because I do not. Both of these people were made to come by Charlotte.
Sinners;-
Hackenbush remarked that a new public holiday had been officially commemorated and will be observed on the 7th June of every year. This will be the “National Pot hole Day” and he noticed Mama Mia fishing a large Nile Perch aka mpuuta from a Pothole in Bugolobi recently on the 7th of June. Mama Mia instantly became a sinner for this crime.
Toilet Window was nominated for a down down for starting a countdown somewhere in between mid way the numbers. He started at 2, then 3 then 4. He too was a nominated by Hackenbush.
Muchira was nominated for short cutting somewhere during the circle.
We song to them the famous 20 toes down down sang.
Happy Bashday.
Queenie announced that a regular Hashette would be celebrating her birth day some time soon. The Birth day girl is Bowling Balls and when asked how old will you be, someone remarked, she is approaching thirty, another one remarked, just like the famous cartoon “Ekanya” . . . From which Direction?. This must have bemused Kandahar as she kept on repeating the whole line over and over. I am sure she was hearing it for the first time. On On
Apparently, during her down down moment, Arrow Girl joined her and the two did their thing together.
Other sinner included Bent Dick for bringing a returnee and failing to declare this returnee to all of us gathered there. The returnee was called Pauline Mayanja.
Other Sinners
Dirty Dick Nominated Mahoganess for buying a whole bar in the suburbs of Kampala called “The Spot After”. He apparently read the story in the popular Tabloid “The Red Pepper”, which flattered her so much introducing her as “Auntie Money” (Remember Uncle Money), and she was so embarrassed about this un-solicitated publicity that she asked the Red Pepper Management that please with draw that article. They promptly withdrew it with apologies. . . But of course for us at the Hash, we know what we know. The next time you are in the area, just go there and leave the Bill or is it (The Bell) (As Hillary told us recently when he asks the waitresses to bring him the Bill, they instead bring him a cold Bell). Anyway, leave the Bill in the names of Mahoganess or the Hash Cash. They will pay! (Fat Chance of that happening).
Anyway, DD asked Mahoganess to appear or any other Liar; they were nowhere to be seen so Kifulugunyu, a state Attorney who only practices in Juba stepped in to represent the Liars.
Chatterboxes; - Toilet Window, for shouting louder than the Vuvuzelas that are rocking Soccer City in Johannesburg, World cup 2010. Peeping Dick was nominated for not complaining about the human Vuvuzela in Toilet window who was just next to him.
Baby Hen was nominated for never having said anything wrong in the circle or out of it.
Chatter box was won by baby Hen hands down.
Hashshit;- The Nominees for the most prestigious award were;- Elephant, who had been sweating gallons during the hard run up that hill and back, for wisely for is it unwisely changing his T-shirt for a drier one (or is it Dryer one) during the circle.
Dick Chopper was nominated for leading some young men astray during the run.
Yours truly was nominated for forgetting to remove his kit from the vehicle of Federo, and Federo driving away with his entire kit, and then later hooking a lift from GM Hackenbush and then getting lost in trying to locate the flat.
Dick Chopper won this one hands down.
After the circle, it was meal time, and time of watch the match between Italy and Paraguay, and the management was convinced to show the match on the giant screen and they obliged.
