AUH4 Run Number 1560 – Monday 19th May 2008


The Awkward Al Maha Compound Run


 


 


The Event:


 


This week the Hashers met up at another new location (well, it was new for me anyway) – the parking lot outside the Al Maha Compound out by the “Jet on a Stick” roundabout (aka the Al Futtaim roundabout; aka the Toyota roundabout). The location was nice, the run was fun, if not a little sweaty, and the loos were clean!


 


The On Back was in another parking lot (that’s “car park” for those reading who aren’t Yanks) on the other side of the road. The Circle was all a bit awkward: Ooz Ee told several strange cow jokes and for some reason no one would speak the name of the lad in the yellow shirt. Then, promptly after dinner was served, Scorch squealed his tires and jumped the concrete in his 4x4! It must’ve been the influence of the full moon!


 



 


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


 



  • Big arrows – lovely!

  • Nostalgic Jet on a Stick roundabout!

  • Too long!

  • We missed the mosque!

 


GM – Big Ears


 


Hares/Caterers/Hosts


 


Swing, Scorch and Hernia set the run and ensured there were enough chickens to go around – many thanks!

RA – Ooz Ee


Maybe it was the full moon, but something was a bit odd about this night…and RA made the following charges:


 


General Sins


Thunder Down Under, How Much, CJ, Kim H, Kangaroo Keg, Jan, Fairy Lights and Maurice were all called in for being Australian and somehow sanctioning the actions of a fellow national who was done for child abuse because he strapped in his case of beer, but allowed his child to wander around unrestrained in the car…


 


Communication Sins on the Run


Pashmina, Jan, Goldilocks and Swing were all done for phone abuse.


Itchy Dick was done for running up behind Whiplash and finding her “sensitive tone.” (Should this be Sex on the Hash?!?)


 


Tea Boy, Vittamin E, and Dan were charged with forgetting that Hash is a team sport and not calling “On on.” Seems these boys are frequently in trouble for this…need we go over the rules again?!?


 


Lost Property


Dune Basher was brought in for losing his towel.


Vittamin E was brought in for losing his spare car key. He swears he never had it so it wasn’t technically lost, but we made him drink anyway.


 


Animal Abuse


Scorch was done for animal abuse; though I don’t know why…all I know is there was the very real possibility of vomit, so we let him off the hook.


 


Sex on the Hash


Jill for replying to the question: “Are you going to do it?” by saying, “Well, I was going to do it with Liz!”


Nibbly Bits and Hardly Sexy for being seen coming out of a dark alley and Nibbly Bits saying, “That was fantastic!” I’m pretty sure they were both sweating as well…


 


Front Running Bastards


Bloody Nips, Thunder Down Under, Jan, Vittamin E, Itchy Dick, Big Ears, Dan, and Prancer were called in for running too bloody fast! Don’t they know it’s summer?


 


Hash Shit


Vittamin E wore the Shit on this hot and humid run, so he was able to pass it on this week. The nominees were:


Sam for wearing yellow (oohh…finally someone speaks his name) and Bloody Nips for not warning Sam about wearing yellow. Though it was finally determined that since Sam was not a virgin, he was responsible for his own actions.


Kim H was nominated for the heinous sin of not drinking her beer during her down down.


Kim H “won” this week and was a good sport about it and proudly wore the Shit while she did her second down down for the night (this time, she actually drank it!) Good on ya, Kim!


 




Charges from the Floor


Ballbreaker charged Nibbly Bits with child abuse for allowing Olivia to fall asleep on top of the cool boxes. Had she fallen asleep on the cool boxes containing beer, the charge would have been alcohol abuse…


 


Tony was charged with driving with diplomatic plates and not having a beer. This charge was made explicitly for the purpose of getting rid of the last remaining down down – thus, we again avoided the charge of alcohol abuse. Whew.


 


The Grub


 


Swing, Scorch and Hernia provided several whole chickens and fixins’ from Lebanese Flower! Yummy! Thanks guys!

“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)
