Hares: Kee Mah and Black Crab

Today's hares found a great A-site located just off of Buddha Mountain Road . A dusty 800

meter drive off of the hard roadway put us in the middle of a tapioca field with a super

view of the surrounding mountains and the Big Buddha Image. The bus arrived and out

jumped Squeeze My Tube hurrying to set up the signup area for the large group of today's

Jungle Runner's. An unusually large group of returner's, visitors, and virgins were

welcomed by GM Hobbit.

The hares briefed the runner's about the usual trail paper, checks, false trails, and

animals which might be viewed roaming the local area during the course of the run.

The trail was to be a large figure 8 (an A to A to A run)! What a setting for a disaster and/or

a very short run!

As the run began, with Rusty Ring Hole and Jello Butt setting the pace, Cabbage Flaps

was observed still talking on her telephone (obviously seeking Devine intervention – this

being Sunday and all). The rather short run allowed many runners to short-cut and return

to the A-site without so much as breaking a sweat. Some runners went back out for a

second trip to just develop a thirst!

The long social period allowed everyone to replenish their semi-tired bodies with fluids

before enjoying another one of Chef V V's delightful jungle dinners.

Dinner completed – GM Hobbit opened the circle and iced the hares. The overall

consensus was a good run although it was a little short for most real runner's.

The SCB's and walkers enjoyed it! The GM quickly turned the circle over to Shiekh MeMe

who entered the circle with G.I. Joe still sitting on the ice for buying a one way ticket to

the U.S. Jello Butt and a Swiss Virgin (later named Backdoor Explorer – or something

along those lines) joined G.I. Joe on the ice. V V was placed in the bucket for talking

loudly to the remaining 8 non-English speaking French Connection individuals.

GM iced for dumping ice on the ground while backing up his truck! The GM blamed it

all on Kee Mah instead on owning up to his inadequate driving skills and heavy foot on

the brake pedal. Rear Gunner iced for short-cutting through the pineapple fields – only

because he likes pineapples and pain!

GM iced Dizzy for short-cutting during the run. Dizzy explained he was only trying to

keep up with the FRB – Rusty Ring Hole. We all know that Dizzy is an opportunist and

he “found the opportunity to catch-up”! Now, wouldn't we all do the same thing?

Ball Ringer iced for running a 10K run early in the morning before coming to the

Jungle Run. Nothing was said about “his misses” Bell End running the same run

and coming in 3 rd Place in her age group! Great job!

V V iced with the entire “French Connection” for doing today's food in two kilo

gram portions – two kilo's this, two kilo's that, two kilo, two kilo etc.!

The French Connection never changes! They are here to do a little running,

a little socializing, a little eating, a lot of drinking, and a week's worth of talking – all in

the short time of 2 hours. And some of them also get their weekly bath in the bucket!

The circle continued well into the late hours with about 90% of the runner's getting

a chance to sample the ice and/or bucket. The A-site was magic with clear sky, a full moon,

no traffic noise, cool temperatures, good fellowship and cold beer! Hashing can't get

any better than this!

Join the Jungle Run again this coming weekend – with your hares Mrs. Head,

That's The One, and Squeeze My Tube. You'll miss another great time if you don't

join your friends in the hills of Phlu-ta-luang! Check the website for the directions

and map!

Until the next week – keep running, be safe, and have fun!
