AUH4 Run Number 1563 – Monday 9th June 2008
The Revenge of the Mainland Chili Run
The Event:
The Mainland Hashers graciously offered to host this week’s run (little did we know it would come at a price…but more on that later!), so members from both the Island Hash and the Mainland Hash met up at the Falcon Club out by Maqta Bridge and had a real good look ‘round the construction, and the sand, and over the bridge, and under the bridge, and back over the bridge and through the water (some more than others…) and some of us even got a real good look at others of us in somewhat compromising situations (check out the Sex on the Hash sins…). It was a bit of an adventure for some of us who are relatively new to Hashing and all in all the event was quite a success.
We all stayed at Falcon Club for the on-back, and what a great venue it proved to be. Though, it seemed a bit like a middle school dance – mostly Mainlanders on one side and Islanders on the other, with only a few brave souls from either group willing to go and ‘chat up’ the others.
We want to offer special thanks to the Mainland Hash for hosting this on-back, and initially, the chili seemed like a really great idea – some of us even had seconds and thirds. Unfortunately, most of us weren’t actually finished with the chili until well into the next day….ahem. We truly can’t wait until we can repay the Mainlanders for their, uh, generosity…
Notes to Hares/Hosts/Caterers:
Please ensure that you provide vegetarian and non-spicy dishes. Our numbers are large enough now that it is important to offer a varied menu in order to make sure everyone has sufficient to eat after the run (a bit of rice or bread doesn’t really cut it…). Many Many Thanks!
Next Week’s Run:
I am told that Monday’s run will “most likely” be at the Port. Hares will be MILF, Big Ears and Truffles. We will have the on-back in the same location, so please bring chairs and fairy lights if you need them.
Also, thanks much to Itchy Dick for providing the following link. It is helpful for hares when deciding on where to run and figuring out how far your run will actually be:

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
GM: Big Ears
Hares/Hosts/Caterers:
Ainelope, Rarebit, and Whiplash were the very excellent Hares and the Mainlanders provided the grub. Thanks to all.
Run Verdict:
Shite! (The run or the after-effects of the grub?)
Best run this week!
Virgins:
Desert Scrotum joins us from the UK. When asked what he does, he replied that he is a wanker, when asked for how long, he said, “all night.” And uh, yes, he plans to come again.
Wet-n-Wild also joins us from the UK. She doesn’t do a lot so I guess she definitely has time to come again!
Kingfisher and Queenfisher are visitors for two weeks in Abu Dhabi and will be back.
Hash Social:
Pink Fizz Brunch on June 20 is Full so if you want to go and haven’t already said so…tough!
July 31 will be Bistro Night at The Club…it will also serve as a farewell for Never Never and Sheila. Names will be taken on July 21.
Progressive Dinner some time during Ramadan…more info to follow.
Al Ain Rehydration Run is in November. We have asked the Mainlanders to run a check point. And apparently this is where the fighting is encouraged?? Hmmm.
Shagnasty is looking for those who want to get their ‘race’ on to join him for some training vs. some boat-race people. I’m not really sure what was decided other than hashers don’t race, but if you’re interested, contact Shagnasty.
Sheila stood in for Perthy as RA and he made the following charges:
The first sin of the night was against Anita and Jennifer for being natterers (Natterererers?). Apparently they were talking shop…but I’m sure one of them doesn’t actually have a ‘shop’ to talk about here, so hmmm…I wonder what they were really discussing.
Next to do a down-down was Jack Off…(I still don’t think it’s fair…) because her husband (who does know better) wore yellow. Hmmph.
Maurice was brought in next because he constantly complains about needing to work up a thirst, then proceeds to walk instead of run…
Heinous Sins
Hardly Sexy was done for not having the decency to show up to his own good bye brunch! This was the first “ice” offense of the evening.
Jack Off was forced to sit on the ice because she complained (though she did offer praise as well) about the terrain during the run.
Whiplash was brought in for bleeding all over everyone.
Sex on the Hash
Itchy Dick was supposed to have been called in, because he didn’t share what he witnessed Kate doing, but luckily for him he was gone. So…instead, we brought Kate in the middle for getting naked in her car and allowing herself to be seen!
Mainland Sins
I recorded a few of the Mainland’s sins, where they pertained to Islanders.
The Mainland RA is Pothole, and he made the following charges:
A bunch of folks were called in for being queens, notably: Maurice, Vittamin E and Dan. Sorry guys, but I had no idea what he was talking about, so I can’t even provide a good ‘excuse’ for you lot being considered queens.
Never Never and Shagnasty were called in for being perverts. Apparently, F’n Dyke (of the Mainland) was pimping out his wife’s ‘spicy wine’ and that is really perverted.
Thunder Down Under was brought in because he looks like Johnny Depp, and it was apparently the latter’s birthday.
Sheila, Maurice and Kate were called in to participate in the Santa contest, but unfortunately, they were each called out for their own reasons.
Sheila and Anita were called in for having false teeth, or “non-gnashers” as they were politely called.
“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."

Two Jokes from Google…
(If you don’t like ‘em…send me some new crap and I’ll paste it here, otherwise, stop yer whingein!)
There were three couples, one elderly, one middle aged, and one newlywed, that wanted to join a church. So the minister tells them that in order to be members they must abstain from sex for two whole weeks. After two weeks, the minister asks the elderly couple if they had abstained.
"Yes, no problem!" So the minister welcomes them to the church. Then he asks the middle aged couple the same question
"Well, after one week, the husband had to sleep on the couch, but we made it!" So the minister welcomes them to the church. Then the minister asks the newlywed couple if they had abstained from sex for two weeks.
"We were unable to abstain. On the third day, my wife dropped a can of corn and when she bent over to pick it up, LUST and PASSION overcame me!"
"I'm sorry," the minister says, "but you are both banned from this church!"
"That's okay," says the husband, "We were banned from the supermarket, too."

There once was a young couple who lived in a town filled with crime. After three neighbors' houses had been robbed, the couple decided to get a guard dog.
So one day the wife went to the pet store and said, "I need a good guard dog."
And the clerk replied, "Sorry, we're all sold out. All we have left is this little Scottie dog. But he knows karate."
The wife didn't believe him so he said to the dog, "Karate that chair."
The dog went up to the chair and broke it into pieces, then he said to the dog, "Karate that table." The dog went up to the table and broke it in half.
So the wife bought the dog and took it home to her husband who was expecting a big guard dog. But then she told her husband that it knew karate, and he said "Karate my ass!
