Jungle Run 18 May 2008

Another beautiful Sunday! The “old man” is playing softball with the boys and I'm off to one of my favorite running areas with King Yao-Yao and Queen Stella. Our hares today are V V and Festering Streaker! It should be a good run today, since both of them have hared many hash runs near this area.

I remember the A-site that VV used a few Jungle runs ago, on the other side of Hwy 331, just a short way up the road from here! That was another good run that VV had set.

After the signups were completed, and the hares told us about the usual trail markings, we were off running around a nice farm area with a few houses. The houses looked like they were occupied by people from Myanmar and guarded by some noisy security dogs.

The trail went up and down a group of water washout areas which spread the pack out a bit. A large group of mid-packers were keeping the FRB's; Jello Butt, G.I. Joe and a few others in view because they could not hear the usual loud calling of On-On from G.I. Joe. The mid-packers caught up to a group of virgins and visitors who must have taken a short cut to get in front of them –SCB's!

One of the SCB's, a big guy from Okinawa, with big muscles – must have gotten stung by bees because he flew by us in pursuit of the front runners. It seems that Jello Butt always picks the correct trails at the checks – how is that? Does he wait for others to check them out while he rests? Once solved, he runs like hell to the front again! It's a mystery to me! Did he come in first? I don't know? But, if he did, he must be racing! When will Jello Butt learn that this is a hash and not a race?

After a short rest period with a few drinks and great food provided by the hares, the circle was called by the GM. As I looked around the circle many of the runners were familiar to me, but I could not recall all of their names. Our hashing community is very large with the many different hashes that we have here in Pattaya. Hashing is fun!

G.I. Joe was first into the circle to explain about his “slip, fall, and crash”! Everyone was concerned about what he had really done and what type of story he would tell to explain it or cover it up! Do we really believe that he tripped and fell into a light pole? Of course not! We know Squeeze My Tube inflicted the damage upon him when he arrived home drunk and announced “Honey, I'm Home”!

As usual, many “victims” were called into the circle, put on the ice or in the bucket, for crimes they knew nothing about! They really look silly with the hat and umbrella; don't you think? The visitor, from Okinawa , was in and out of the bucket more times then all the others combined. I think he just “loved” it or forgot to take his normal weekly shower on Saturday. What a great group of hashers those guys from Okinawa are!

The next “victims” were “California Brian” (he has no hash name yet), individuals from Okinawa – including girlfriends, Care Bear, Bucket Arse, and Seaman Swallow!

Good fun for all! The circle ended shortly thereafter. A good run, good food, and good time for all! See you again on 1 June!
