On to the bus and after a 40 minutes drive from Pattaya we arrived at the isolated A-site.
The usual pre circle bullshit went on until the hare’s, two frogs today, started to explain their run and we were warned there was a lot of barbed wire to avoid and as we found later – plenty of snakes. But otherwise no problems- provided you could swim!
On Out or should I say On Up and we later discovered the first part went straight up a mountain until we were above the clouds – a great opening for a run! After going up we then went down to flat areas around tapioca and pineapple fields and, thanks goodness over mostly flat land.
I found myself was stranded together with three lady and two other guys and I could soon figure out that we must be way behind the rest of the pack and the short cutters but being in a valley we could still hear the ONON being called.
After crossing some open areas and sensing that we must be nearing the ON IN we hit some water filled gullies and I took a dive in one of them (with full pike) ending up dirty and more over wet. Well frogs like water. Finally we came out of the water filled area and only had a few kilometers of straight dirt road into the A site. What a great run provided you came to the hash with crampons are equipped with webbed feet.
Then when everybody was together at the A site, food and drinks were provided and then with pack fed, watered and comfortably seated the circle was called. The normal gags went on and various people was iced regardless of their sin, some people got more time on ice than others and I would guess that the big Norseman - Colonel Cornhole - must have been the number one at sitting on the ice or in the bucket.
A mandatory equipment check was carried out by the G.M. to see who was not wearing their award run caps in the circle…Ball Ringer The Gullible was as normal was found lacking. I also ended up on ice, but it was appreciated because it’s a good cure for hemorrhoids. Motor Mouth son of Jellobutt also got some good time on ice for his lack of knowledge regarding poofters and some of the “selective” night life found in Pattaya !!
Then at the end of the circle I was called into the circle with Sheik Bin Shaggin and Lord Lucan. This is when the mighty Lord was going to receive his 175 run cap, which turned out to be in a color that not even a color blind G.I Joe would have chosen.
After the award presentation the circle was closed and transport either by private means or by hash bus commenced.
What a good way to spend an enjoyable afternoon with your friends…
ON ON to the next Jungle Hash to be held 19th September when I’m one of the hare’s.
