Joke: I will probably start this blog posting with a joke that I heard recently, It could have been a true story but, we will probably never Know; Anyway, here it goes,
Our dear country Uganda has passed through a very interesting History. In 1985 there was a Military coup that disposed of the government of Dr. Appollo Milton Obote, who had been facing severe pressure from the guerrillas of the NRA who were by then still fighting for our freedom and democratic principles in the “bush”. Anyway, when the Military Men of Obote’s government took over power from him in what they called a bloodless Coup d’état, they handed over the Presidency to Lft. General Tito Okello Lutwa. Needless to say, Lutwa was more surprised than anyone else about this sudden “falling into things”. Actually he once confessed to the public that when ‘they” told him that he was to be the next head of State he responded thus. . . “They told me that, Eh Lutwa, you are going to be the next pregident of Uganda. I said . . . “Alo?!, Aaah!!” . . . You should hear that with the original accent it so hilarious. . . . Anyway, the gentleman was a little bit challenged in the arts or skill of using the Queen’s language as we were later to realize. Anyway, the story goes thus:
On the First day of assuming this prestigious office, he got a call early morning from His Royal Highness, the King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, King Fahd Bin Abdullah-Aziz Al Saud, congratulating him on this feat and wishing him well in his new responsibilities. When he was told about who was on the line, “King wa wapi?!” they told him Saudi Arabia, he said, okay put him on the line and then they talked for some time., No sooner had he finalized his conversation with the king, another equally powerful monarch, the Sultan of Brunei, called in to wish him happy returns. The calls of congratulations kept on coming thick and first!! By lunch time he had been on the phone with over 20 Presidents, various Prime Ministers, heads or State etc. and still he labored on with the scanty English that he could master, trying as much as possible not to descend in to the Kiswahili Language with which he was so much more comfortable with. In the afternoon there were calls from the Prime Minister of The Federal Republic of Germany, then the President of Argentina, The Ambassador of the Royal Danish Embassy, then Chancellor of the Exchequer (at which point he told someone “Wewe kujja hapa saa yi, Sasa yiyo ni University ya hapa Uganda?!” (meaning ‘hey you over there, is that ‘exchequer’ also a University somewhere in Uganda?). Anyway that day, he received so many phone calls from so many distinguished, high ranking personalities that at the end of the day, he was had remarking solemnly to some close friend “Sasa Yiyi kazi ya Obote ni Ngumu sana!!” (Sincerely, this job of Obote is a very tough one!!) On On!!!
Up Circle; - We gathered inside the Restaurant/bar/Night Club that Buddies is, and had the circle courtesy of Party boy, the Hash Master. By the way the hash venue is owned by Kazoora, formerly of WBS Television, but now working with Pepsi Cola Uganda which explains the Mirinda fruity T-shirts that we received. By ‘we” I refer to a lucky or is it a chosen handful of Hashers who were fortunate enough or who came early enough to earn themselves a right to a T-shirt. My guess is that they were less than 40 or something, compared to the more than 100 Hashers who turned up to start the hash. Some Wankerettes like Septic Tonku chose not to wear the T-shirt but to wrap it around their bottoms. Thanks for the T-shirts. Anyway, at about 3 Minutes past six o’clock we set off for the run.
The Run; - The run started from Buddies, then backwards along the road that approaches Ntinda from Bukoto till that turn or rise up to the Home of the father one of Uganda’s leading Musicians ‘Bebe Cool’. There is a slight rise then a steep descent towards a valley like place then through a couple of residential houses then again risings up to the top of the hill then down again, with two or three check backs for the Hashers and the Runners and the running a long winding Kilometer of residential area till we came to the first Check point. I read a sign post at this check point and it indicated that we were somewhere in Bukoto. It was at this point that we had the newest release of the latest of Blow Back’s Hash song. It was quite a revelation and for those of you who missed it here we go;-
My name is John
And I work at the Moonberg Breweries.
I got a Wife
Two kids
Both W****rs
And my Bossie said to me
Push the button with your finger
. . .
(After the whole song is sang, similar chorus, then it gets to, Push the button with your elbow, then push the button with your right leg then he finally says f**k you) It involves physical demonstration of these actions which is quite energetic to follow) On On Blow Back.
The trail then took us past the KISU International School where the torpedo in the names of Solar Erection (who apparently is the official Hash Trash, and I her assistant, and also is the one who came up with this lovely idea of running the hash rash completely paper less by using the blog). . . meandering again . . . Past the International School we went and on no to with one check back just before we descended into the ghetto like area of Kamwokya trading centre. However at this point some, actually not just some, many Hashers and Runners refused to check back and went onwards to the Bukoto Ntinda road. Some of these including GM hackenbush decided at this point to abandon the run and go straight back to the Hash venue. Those of us who checked back were lead into the meandering ghetto of Kamwokya, where after a little while of running aimlessly realized then that Hare too was lost and was busy searching for the right route out of the slum. After finding the right way out, we sped to reach the road that short cuts the Kira road Police station, This road connects Kamwomkya trading centre direct to somewhere just before the Kabira Club. We crossed this road at the lowest point (near the valley) and then saw the hashers and runners who had refused to get checked back way across the football field just before you reach the Kira Road Police Station. W e crossed that No-man’s land lookalike area, past the football pitch across the small around about past the Police station then onto the Lugogo By pass road, which I hear these days was given another name Like John Babiha Avenue, (Actually it is called Rotary Avenue) down towards the turn off opposite Mackenzie vale, and on On towards the School, that is in that area, I think it could be the Kampala Parents Schools, then we had a steep climb up to reaches the Check point number two at the middle of that Naguru Hill. From the second check point, they had small check back for the runners and Hashers, which Pesticide decided not to honor the check back knowing full well the geography of the area as his office is located within the vicinity, so he instead took / enjoyed that loop alone. At this point I heard some w****rette, who has probably never set a run say that they hares should be more serious and ensure that they maximize the use of any and all loops that they may find on their trails.) (fine idea, its just that searching for those loops . . . Eh anyway, My advice for these “run critics” should be, hey why do you not set out own hash?, and then we see how good you can really be with those loops.). Anyway, from the missed loop we went up past the Solar Erection’s office; where I saw her calling somebody who probably keeps the place o come see her running. It was another uphill climb to the midway point of the hill then we went down and started traversing the Naguru Slum, . . . okay upper Naguru area. It was a mixture of several uphill and down hills and one major check back that brought us back to the road that passes Kembabazi’s place then onwards to the AIDS something place then down wards and then we took the long road the at reaches Spot After, which apparently now belongs to the Hashette Mahoganess. Someone remarked to me that we had passed right by Pisser’s Residence somewhere along the route. It would have been a nice idea to popup in for one for the road but maybe next time. From Spot after it was an On In. The run I could approximate was about 12 KM, although I heard it from Baby Hen, that it was around 10KM but felt like 12 KM because of the several up hills and the down hills. By the time some of us got to the Hash venue, the water was finished (or should I be saying the water was over) and there were just a few pieces of fruits remaining. Someone reminded the complainers that please save water and buy drink beer. Nice Idea if you asked me.
The circle.

At this point Hackenbush chose to move the circle to another point just underneath a huge tent.
Sinners
Al’s bar was seen/ caught Chatting the evening away with a regular female hasher, who apparently has got no Hash Handle and really must at be in need of it as she was so hesitant to give me her name that I had to drug it out of her. Hey were pair together and interlocked arms to drink our down downs. The next chatter box pair was Bowling Balls and Fat Man, while third Chatter box pair was Parmalat and Michael Mpulumba again were seen chattering away about something about embezzling funds.
Darlyne and Adiga were also seen chattering, both of these were hash virgins if I am not mistaken.

Other Sinners / Chatter boxes.
Federo for chatting to his subjects while they were in the circle
Solar Erection for showing off her offices while we were running up hill in the Naguru Area.
Wanche for something that I did not get.
Wide Ass for chattering away the evening
The Chatter box was won by Wanche.
Hash Shit
Kisanjja was nominated for being so mean that for the past five months or so, he has been moving around with all the ribbons from the 7Hills run that we held sometime in Feb this year. Hackenbush said that Kisanjja has piled up an assortment of various ribbons, of several colors from previously held runs and that Apparently he keeps these ribbons in his car, and when he hears that there is a clamp down on those who do not have ribbons, he dashes to his car, after seeing the color that they are looking out for, then gets the correct ribbon from his ribbon store and then returns smiling triumphantly. Ear to ear, after having successfully beaten the system once more.
The full details of this just made everyone know that there would only be one nominee for the Hashit but it appeared that someone had forewarned him of the impending dilemma and he decided to take off (Or you could say, he decided to “go for a burial in Kisumu at 3:00 am in the morning”)
The second nominee for hashit was Arrow gal, but because she is a grand mattress, Blow back had no power to summon her to the circle, so instead; he got Kamdulu to come into the circle to represent the Late GM Arrow gal. The crime was that after soliciting for Billions of KH3 Hashers Money is to make customized T-shirts as Haberdasher 2010, the ones that had received theirs were a little bit disappointed that they did not have hash handles on them. Anyway, the nomination was something along those lines.
The third nomination was Hash Cash Mutawe , aka Slippery Dick, for something that I did not get. Mutawe aka slippery dick won this award, actually this last part I did not recorded so I am just guessing. I hope I am right. Anyway, that was that.
What happened after that included a football match that was featuring Brazil and some other team but I do not recall, anyway, what happened after that was not the responsibility of the MMC.
