Jungle Run #126
Christmas in July
20 July 2008 – what am I doing up at 0300 AM on a Sunday morning? Thunder clapping, lightning flashing, and rain pissing down! Christmas in July – Ho, F'n Ho! Santa must be absolutely mad to bring his reindeer out in this mess! (singing) Sloshing through the water, ankle dip in it, all the silly runners must be dumb as shit!
And so, Pattaya Marathon 2008 and the Jungle Christmas in July gets underway! Santa, G. I. Joe , is leading the pack of Santa's helpers - Bell End, Tadpole, Queen Stella, Mrs. Head, Shiehk MeMe, Spaghetti Head, Honey Bunny, and many other Jungle and PH3 hashers on their merry way.
After what seems like hours, the happy hashers are rewarded with their Xmas presents – a Pattaya Marathon 2008 medal. A just reward, for their great early morning efforts along the wet Pattaya roadways! Gluttons for punishment they are!
A hot shower, some warm food, a quick nap and off to Grandpa's (Dizzy and Lord Lucan 's) house in Ban Chang they go! For what, another run – up and over the mountains! These people must be insane!
The A to B run starts up hill (is there any other way to start a run) exactly like today's early morning marathon. But, unlike the marathon, a bright red check slows the runners. G.I Joe to the left (false trail), others to the right (false trail), damn straight up the steep hill it goes (bastard hares). A continuous up, down, around, and over course takes its toll on the early morning marathon runners. Many red ribbons (checks) keep the pack together!
Numerous runners get to lead the pack over the well marked challenging trail that Dizzy and Lord Lucan have set. The trail leads directly through the water (like we haven't had enough already today) into a pineapple field, to an adjacent wall and well positioned step ladder to Grandpa's house – where a sumptuous turkey lunch awaits everyone.
After completely stuffing themselves (absolutely no food left) the happy runner's took their place around the ice and waited as, the GM, Papa Dizzy presented an assortment of wet, cold Xmas gifts to all!
To find out what happens in the circle you will have to join the next Jungle Hash on 3rd August when all could be revealed. How our much did esteemed GM “Dizzy manage to loose his gold wedding ring in Sukhothai last week during a night of debauchery and loose women? Why was a certain hasher caught on camera deflowering a good looking sheep. All could/will be told!
