FOOTPRINTS
The OFFICIAL organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4
AUH4 Run Number 1555 – Monday 14th April 2008
The Event:
This week’s hash was held at one of the nicest on backs (okay all the on backs are best if there is a bathroom on the premises!). There were about 40 hashers who enjoyed a nice walk/run. Not only were the walkers treated to seeing some of Abu Dhabi’s finest mosques, it was delightful to see the two churches that the city can boast about! I don’t know about you, but I was feeling extremely enlightened by the end of the evening (yes that could have been due to the well earned cold ones at the end of the trek!).
All in all it was an excellent sojourn! Though the singing was a bit atrocious, I think it is getting worse by the week. Though some were blaming the lack of song sheets, I think it comes down to the fact that we just can’t sing!
To save us all a headache…if you’ve only opened Footprints for directions to next Monday’s Hash, as per every week, they’re AT THE BLOODY BACK
Run Verdict
As always the verdict for the run is always quite confusing… Was it good or not? That is the question… If you don’t have the answer that is because you weren’t there, so if you care come along and join the fun…
· The perfect length of just under an hour
· Soft sand toned the legs
· Basically it was a great run for your toning and legs
GM – Big Ears
Hares

Virgins
Peter is from Brisbane. At first he was unsure of what he was doing here, except that he was working- it finally came out that he was a Project Manager, of course he had no idea what he manages! He will possibly join us next week
Louise is from Portsmouth. She is here looking for a job with her husband, no clue who that is! Anyway she is here until Saturday, but may come again when she has a job!
Toe Job (Julia) has hashed in many places, is here from Boston. She is only here for a week, so unfortunately will not be joining us again!
Awards
French Fry was awarded the lovely jug for 50 runs! Well done!
· For those of us who know that we have been running for at least 25 runs and do not have the merchandise to back up these claims…. There are no more shirts! Gasp! Horror! Anyway Jill step up to the plate and is looking into a silkscreen t-shirt maker for us! So cool your boots the shirts are coming! Enshalla!

RA – Perthy Throw Up
You can always tell the tone of the circle just by the singing…. I have to admit this week it was just plain weird… Perthy’s joke needed a lot of audience participation and then ended with no known climax…
Sins on the Run
PMF was awarded the much sought after Bravery Award. He told his boss what he really thought! His boss is/was and Emirati, we now have a leaver!
Kate runs to the hash, what!
Nibbly Bits and Pashmina no clue
Anita and Louise paused for a breath between talking
Strap on/ Strap off
Shane was accused of being “big and hard” on running, and then took his strap off…
Jill was heard to say (I don’t know who heard this J, that every girl owns a good strap on… mmm is there something else you need to add…
Nibbly Bits is sure that there is gravity in Canada
More Sins
Itchy Dick and some one that has FF in their name no clue what you were doing in the circle
Dune Basher A New Zealand man was attacked by someone with a hedgehog, poor little animal I say!

Vittimin E chasing chicks
Girls Sports Bra told RA that he he has only been here two weeks so he can’t “grass on anyone”
Perthy and Perthy Cuter Perthy has floating pieces in his rectum and now he has a brown eye… can we say too much information! J
Short cutters
Theresa short cutting
Child Abuse
Nibbly Bits (it was a hard night for me!) for telling Olivia to ask RA about Tamagotchi and Christmas…. I will say that I think Never Never should have been called in for this and not me!
Sex on the Hash
Kate and Theresa had problems finding a knob
Shane was heard to say that it was an urge I had but it felt good afterwards (is this still concerning the strap on?)
Bloody Nips told Shane you’re the train I’m the station, and then complained that he had carpet burns on his knees…
Blindness
Prancer ran into a sign for a 4 wheel drive or something to that effect
Dan standing on an arrow not knowing where to go and blaming it on the fact that he was not wearing his glasses

“Hashing is a state of mind- a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor."
Stray Dog (From the Global Trash Hash Bible complete reference for the Hash House Harriers)
