Hares; Pamper and Coming Long.
The run;
This was a run where the hares quite surely deserved the Hash Shit!! You could
not mistake the special bit of anger that Bozo the Clown reserved for them at
the end of the run. Eh! That run was so looooong banange!! Al’s Bar estimated
that according to his GPS enabled state of the art watch, the total distance of
the run that day was 11.6KM. Now 11.6 KM in these very, very dry conditions of
these days feels more like doing an impromptu Kaazi Run. Actually, come to think
of it, the Kaazi run is around 11 point something Kilometers, so the run was
almost as long as the Kaazi run.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, let’s start with first things second.
The directions to the Cottages indicated that peace cottages is located about
100 metres from the Stadium at Namboole, now to get the actual distance,
multiply that figure by 10. The cottages are located about one Kilometre from
the stadium!! This provided a precursor to the rest of the run. Now, I for one
know that both Pamper and Coming Long are FRBs or as close to FRBs as you
possibly can get so you tend to get this notion that FRBs distances and the
distances of a regular hasher are kind of different. An FRB’s 3K is your regular
hasher 2K, things of that sort so it seems.
Anyway, the Hares and the damagement or is management of Peace Cottages provided
about 100+ T-shirts for the event and almost all the w*nkers who showed up got a
T-shirt, except yours truly who together with Dick Chopper and Wide Load were
about 12 Minutes late. After a quick change (think of Formula 1 quick changes),
I took off after the pack. I met His Excellency Idi Amin Dada in a forested area
about a Kilometre from Peace Cottages which worried me as I seem to remember
what the real Amin did to people in forests, after the forest section, the run
broke into a football pitch located right in the middle of this eucalyptus
forest, past the forest to join a murram road where I noted Kabuki and Knock
Knees had cleverly avoided the Hashers and Walkers loop.
Along this murram road I think to get to the Industrial Complex at Namanve. From
the top of a smallish hill, I could see the group of Hashers about a Kilometer
away in distinct Red T-shirts approaching the Coca Cola Plant at Namanve. This
gave me some hope during the decent into what I insist must be the Industrial
complex at Namanve, and toward the Main Road, there is a around about where I
noticed the first check point. (Later, Al’s Bar indicated to me that eh distance
between the start/Finish point and the first check point was about 3 Kilometers.
At the first check point, I was joined by Hose Pipe and we continued the
chasing.
Talking about chasing, it is actually more of a science than an art. When you
find yourself a little bit late to the Hash venue and you are required to chase,
you would need to deploy a very different set of running style to suit the
occasion. For details, talk to Federo, he seems to have mastered the art of
chasing. But I for one will give you this free chasing tip. Just pace yourself
and forget all about check points! You are probably not going to have any breaks
till the end of the run, so no need to burn yourself out mid way the run. Again
get the rest of the tips from the chasing masters.
After the first check point, we crossed the road, passed behind the coca cola
factory perimeter fence, there is a small town growing behind that plant I
seemed to notice.
After the coca cola plant, I completely lost my bearings and I cannot deceive
you that I know which direction we were running. We were just running endlessly
and believe you me, I thought at one point that I had seen posters advertising
parliamentary candidates of Mukono District. Unless I am mistaken it was
something closer to Mukono district than Kampala. However, the whole ordeal
brought back to me fond memories of the Ball breaker run that I was tricked into
running although Baby Hen still insist that I ran only a promotion of it. Ask
Dog Eater for she ran that ball breaker too and can give you a better recount of
the hilariousness of doing such crazily long runs!
The remainder of that run was more of
trying-to-get-back-yourself-
The Circle
Announcements;-
Addis 2011 Africa Hash was announced by Bozo the clown, who asked the Hares to
come to Addis and learn how to set a real hash. He was so pissed off!!, okay, he
was more pissed off than he usually is. He told us that we would have the
opportunity of running and drinking beer at a height of 3,000 meters above sea
level. Imagine that! We can’t wait! Give way, Addis here we come!
Bozo the clown added that there is going to be a red dress run on the last day
of the Africa Hash, however, if you would like to participate in this Red Dress
Run, you need to make a separate registration for this Red Dress Run.
The forth coming 7 Hills run was announced. 20th March Sunday, 6:45am, just
below the American Embassy building in Nsambya. . . .around there. Registration
is going on until 14th March at the usual places, after that the fee goes up
from 10K to 15K.
Next week’s run was announced. Spot After Nitnda, Run 1430, Dirty Dick and
Alexis are hares. Etc. I keep on forgetting his hash handle, ohh, it’s Wanker
getter.
New Shoes.
We had down down new shoes for conman and Coming Long. Queenie was forced to do
a down down from a combination of the shoes of all GM present. This was after he
insulted the intelligence all of us by insisting the shoes of one of the GMs
present was new and inisisting on having him perform a New shoes down down even
after the GM had insisted that these shoes had already been baptized. How dare
an ordinary mortal summon a GM!! It is like having a Captain summon a General.
Impossible! So he enjoyed the multiple shoes down down.
New comers and returnees were not available so this saved us a few beers.
Sinners
Dry Climax for something to do with workers on a building site, washing face
with water and/or showing off her tittties or both of the three.
Queenie for crying like a little girl during a recent white water rafting
excursion at the grade 5 Rapids at Bujagali.
Betty for something to do with school.
Chatter boxes.
Hugle was nominated for Cbox together with a School nurse who were chattering
themselves silly during the circle. The Night nurse won Chatter box hands down.
Hashshit.
The Nominees for this most prestigious award went to cartoon for Running with a
Village Nurse along the way.
Our dear hash horn Buffalo Dung for going three hashes in a row without blowing
the hash horn properly. The exact wording was ‘Buffalo Dung for giving a lousy
blowjob!”
Our dear Hare Raiser, Muchira for not guiding the hares of the day on how to set
a run.
Hugle for failing to stop himself from chattering to the irresistible school
nurse.
Karamojong Warrior for setting up an illegal irrigation scheme along the trail.
Thus, with more than enough nominees for the ultimate honour, the voting started
in earnest.
Now, In the meantime, Dick Chopper, thinking, albeit wrongly that all attention
was on the poor candidates for the Hash shit proceeded to do the unthinkable by
stealthily grabbing a bottle of beer from our down downs and happily drinking it
and the evening away, with this rather big smile on her face. However, we were
fortunate enough to have someone nosy enough who noticed this entire episode and
cried out, “Dick Chopper is stealing our down downs!!”
He smile disappeared instantly and however there was nowhere to hide the
evidence, so she immediately became an automatic candidate for hash shit.
Dinner was great and after the dinner, I was fortunate enough to hitch a ride
with Hackenbush, Ebola and Bowling Balls. During that ride, I heard a word that
I had never had before. Its called “PILATES” Now I bet you do know what Pilates
is. . .okay, I will not insult your intelligence, you know what it means, but
in case you did not know, it is;-
Pilates (English pronunciation: /pɨˈlɑːtiːz/, German: [piˈlaːtəs]) is a
physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in
Germany,[1] the UK and the USA. As of 2005, there were 11 million people
practicing the discipline regularly and 14,000 instructors in the United
States.[2]
Pilates called his method Contrology (from control and Greek -λογία, -logia),
because he believed that his method uses the mind to control the muscles.[1] The
Pilates method seeks to increase the strength, flexibility and control of the
body.
There is going to be a class of this sort of thing somewhere in Kampala, oba it
is already there?!
