The Run

The blind Men and an elephant.

The Hasher at Dubai International Airport

The Run started from the location with the Walkers being led down the road towards the valley while the Runners and Hashers were told to check it out towards the main road. Then there was a check back and we all went downhill to meet the Walkers at the valley area, then past the Valley to the road that connects Ntinda town to Spear Motors otherwise called Stretcher Road (in Taxis they call it Ntinda Stretcher), then a few FRBs went up the hill past he market before they were checked back, to find the rest had taken the uphill that branches off just after Shell Fuel Station (apparently every fuel station in Uganda is called Shell) Stretcher Road, I hope they still call it that, then the turn off after the Shell brought Nakawa stretcher towards the road that goes to the right turns up to Kembabazi restaurant. This is where we had our first check point after a few check backs.



Pushing the button with Your left finger at the first kechi point

From the first check point, we climbed up a gently rising hill there was a false trail at the climb up on that road that goes up hill past Kembabazi. The trial then lead us down to a residential area with a few “check it outs” placed right at the interesting sections. I did see a couple of hooks, then several ups and downs until we got to the base of Naguru Hill, then climbed all the way to the top of the Naguru Hill, right next to that unfinished palatial residence where we had our beer stop.
The final climb felt like it might fee la the Mount Kenya run. It was so steep!! Fortunately, there was a beer stop just in time, courtesy of Mahoganess and her co hares. The sun was setting at this time as you will see in the pictures and the usual suspects were not in the mood for waiting for all to reach the check point, so from there we ran back along the main road till we got to The Spot after.
New Comers, Returnees and visiting hashers.



Enjoying Mahoganess' beer stop at the top of Naguru Hill - Third check point

Gold Digger from Nairobery was around so every one had their eye on her lest a laptop, mobile phone or wallet gets lost in a melee that she was hoping to cause or something.
There were some other w***rs in attendance but I did not bother to get their names as I was not mood to do so this time round.

We had a song from Gold digger, “In the Morning by the Sea”, you and me know that one it is so popular. Of course it was followed by the ‘Sounds like, sounds like, Sounds like BS to me retort.

Sinners

Solar Erection and Blowback for talking about running in the circle,
GM Kabuki was nominated by Dirty Dick for talking in the circle, and off course being a GM, he could do as he so wished, so he did not partake in our down down ceremony.
Perry Mason for pushing a boda boda at the start of the circle.
Hard-on for sh*tting in the circle.
Blow back for being in Uganda without any VISA, that when he landed at the airport, the man with the Key to the place where the VISA are kept had gone, that we was due to return “Tomoro”, so they told him, Ah also you , don’t worry just enter. And that is how he found himself on the Ttaaka (soil) without a VISA.
Announcements
Mount Kenya run is still on sometime soon, check with conman, seriously, he knows when its taking place and how it’s so much worth it as he has a participated in it before.
Chatter Boxes

Kimansulo, defaulter, Mupakasi for using a vibrating machine during the course of the circle were all nominated for the chatter box. Defaulter won this one hands down as we song to him the famous Bum Tittie bum song.

Hashit/Hash Shit

The nominees including Blowback, who had actually been leading the Bum Tittie song a while ago. Someone nominated him for not knowing the difference between bums and Titties as he kept touching the titties when it was time for the bum, anyway he was doing everything the other way round. He was nominated by Ebola, Rip off was nominated for taking photographs of w*****rs peeing in the circle somewhere along a trail, it could have been at the Jinja Relay or the Day’s Trail.
He third nominee was Arrow gal for something I did not get. But I want to think it was something to do with a complaining man who says he has been hashing religiously for more than one year, and is quite sure that he has achieved the fiftiesth (what a tough word!! ‘fiftiesth’). Anyway, he has achieved his 50th run and deserves his mug. Probably this is why Arrow gal was nominated, as she is the Harber dasher this year and is responsible for ensuring that all T-shirts of the w****rs are ready.
So, as you all know, when one hash mattress is nominated, all Hash mattresses are nominated, and believe me you, they won this one. They were too popular our dear Hash mattresses and took home the prize of KH3 Hashit for the evening. Eh, details; they included Ebola, Kandahar, Arrow gal.

THE END.

NOT QUITE . . .

During the course of the evening, after the Dinner, I watched as Saddam put Virus to task over the actual number of runs that Dayo has. Saddam’s argument is that how come Dayo was most recently receiving his mug of 600 runs about 2-3 years ago and now the stats claim that the same gentleman is close to the magical 4 digit number 1,000. How long does it take to earn those many runs? He asked, no bellowed, furiously to our very own Hash stats. He was basing this on his own worries about how slow his runs are taking to make 200 yet he has been hashing for a” very very longo longo time”. Hash stats virus was trying his best to explain to him the reasons why and how such a scenario might arise but he was having none of it. I will share this story with him perhaps that might explain something or other. On On
ELEPHANT AND THE BLIND MEN
Once upon a time, there lived six blind men in a village. One day the villagers told them, "Hey, there is an elephant in the village today."
They had no idea what an elephant is. They decided, "Even though we would not be able to see it, let us go and feel it anyway." All of them went where the elephant was. Every one of them touched the elephant.




"Hey, the elephant is a pillar," said the first man who touched his leg.
"Oh, no! it is like a rope," said the second man who touched the tail.
"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree," said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.
"It is like a big hand fan" said the fourth man who touched the ear of the elephant.
"It is like a huge wall," said the fifth man who touched the belly of the elephant.
"It is like a solid pipe," Said the sixth man who touched the tusk of the elephant.
They began to argue about the elephant and everyone of them insisted that he was right. It looked like they were getting agitated. A wise man was passing by and he saw this. He stopped and asked them, "What is the matter?" They said, "We cannot agree to what the elephant is like." Each one of them told what he thought the elephant was like. The wise man calmly explained to them, "All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all those features what you all said."
"Oh!" everyone said. There was no more fight. They felt happy that they were all right.
The moral of the story is that there may be some truth to what someone says. Sometimes we can see that truth and sometimes not because they may have different perspective which we may not agree too. So, rather than arguing like the blind men, we should say, "Maybe you have your reasons." This way we don’t get in arguments. In Jainism, it is explained that truth can be stated in seven different ways. So, you can see how broad our religion is. It teaches us to be tolerant towards others for their viewpoints. This allows us to live in harmony with the people of different thinking. This is known as the Syadvada, Anekantvad, or the theory of Manifold Predictions.

The Hasher at Dubai International Airport on his way to the world interact
There is this one story that I had about our very own KH3 Hasher, who had made private travel arrangements for his trip to the recent world Inter Hash at Borneo, Kuching wherever it was held, anyway, true hasher, somehow always travels solo and this time he was connecting to Thailand via Dubai. I think he wanted to spend a day or two in the Emirates before proceeding with his journey.
Now as a true hasher, you’ve got to be prepared. I think he thought that the idea of spending two whole days in a country that strongly discourages Alcohol consumption was going to be a night mare. So true Hasher, ever ready, made a somewhat bright decision of packing Tot packs of Uganda Waragi with him. “Tot packs” may otherwise be known as Sachets, they are polyethen bags that contain dry gin called Uganda Waragi, or Tyson or whatever they have chosen to pack.
Anyway, as the trip to Dubai went very nicely, as the Waragi had travelled in the luggage which travels in the cargo hold of the plane with the general baggage stuff. Anyway, upon claiming his luggage and walking out toward the Airport exit, he was accosted by an inquisitive security agent who told him that they had X-rayed one of his bags and found some mysterious packed liquid which they could not quite explain. Do you mind showing us they asked? The fellow said, oh, that with a big grain, no problem. Let me show you. So he unzipped his bag and shows them the tot packs, neatly arranged on some corner of the suitcase. With a broad grin, he explains to the security guy, who is much more comfortable reading Arabic words, after he has read the small print on the packaging., he explained to him, that there is my refreshments!. The other fellow responded, “Refreshments, what sort of refreshments are you talking about”. The guard inquired further. The Hasher said, it’s like Mineral water ‘just’. (Adding the word “just” to make it sound so casual). Anyway, the guard almost convinced tells him, it’s okay you can go. As the relief washes over the hasher’s face, and he is packing the bag, the security guy tells him, Since it’s just refreshment, “Do you mind taking one?’, quickly the hasher, got one tot pack, bit off a corner, and down downed it in seconds, Fine, the guard say, you can go. . . The Hasher quickly packs the stuff and is about to walk off, when as if it’s an afterthought, the guard asks him again ‘Do you mind taking another one” The Hasher on the other hand says no problem. Now the tot pack is packed in 100ml sizes. But of course knowing how hot waragi is, this time the sips are a little bit longer than before, the process of completion of the ‘refreshment was slightly longer that before but of course the fellow finishes it off. The guard is witnessing this and is slightly confused with the whole scenario, he tells him. Okay “just take one more then you go”.
Now this is the third one. Eh, exclaimed the World Interhash bound gentleman, ‘Why shall I do” he asked himself (Not what shall I do, but ‘Why swall I do’ . . . since the waragi is beginning to take effect!) Now, the third one was really a tough act, he sucked on that tot pack, eyes almost popping out, the waragi was at full effect. The third one took forever, but down downing it was not an option. Finally, feat accomplished, and the Guard seeing that the man had been tortured enough, told him, off you go please, and welcome to Dubai. He took off immediately, walked, actually zig zagged for a few dozen steps, tripped himself, stood up zig zagged a little bit more as he whispered ‘Sorry, sorry, sorry” to himself, past the exit, and boarded a taxi straight to the nearest hotel in Deira.

It was remarked that this is one of the most hilarious scenes that has ever been witnessed at this Airport!!
