The OFFICIAL organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4

 



AUH4 Run Number 1568 – Monday 14th July 2008

The Longest Fucking Run Ever

 

The Event:

The Hashers all met at the car park behind ADIA on the Corniche. This was a new venue for most of us, or at least a new twist on an old venue! We were given what we thought were understandable instructions on markings, ‘runners are green, walkers are blue’ and told to set off. After what seemed to be hours, and after having since lost all signs of markings, most of the Hashers finally made it back to the car park, though we were still waiting for a few stragglers – namely the Hares! Well, they finally found their way back and on we went to the Corniche Club for the on back.

 

Though it was a bit of a new experience for the AUH4 Hashers (you know, actually going to a bar after a run, rather than hiding out at someone’s house set up as a speakeasy…), we quickly acclimated (acclimatized for you Brits…) and had a raucous circle followed by some really excellent pub grub.

 

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:

We’ll meet at the car park by Ooz Ee’s on the Corniche. Map and directions at the back.

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: How Much

 

Hares/Hosts/Caterers:

Jolly Rogerer and Jolly Rogered hared this week’s never ending run, and arranged for us to utilize the space at the Corniche Club…many thanks for the effort!

 

Run Verdict:

·         Too many colors!

·         No Hares!

·         Too short!

·         The Score, which hits the complete opposite end of the spectrum from last week: 9.31

 

Virgins:

Lisa is cabin crew for Etihad. She’s from Sweden and promises to return.

Jenny is an “engineer” from England, so clearly she’s MI5. She’ll be back.

Dave comes to us from Leeds. He’s an environmental engineer – those exist out here? – and he says he’ll be back.

 

Leavers

Itchy Dick has been seconded to the new deli – er – New Delhi – for 5 or 6 weeks, but he’ll be back.

 

Returners

Heather re-joins us after a trip to the US for a de-briefing…ahem.

 

Mismanagement: New Hash Committee Member Found

Jack Off is finally able to pass the reins to co-scribes – Boston Illegal and AJ. Many thanks, suckers…I mean…..heh heh.

 

Hash Social:

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.

August 22 will be another brunch.

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.

Sheila stood in for Perthy as RA and made the following charges:

 

I usually forget to write about the opening joke, but this week I’d like to mention it, if for no other reason than to add to support of my claim that Sheila clearly had sex on the brain this week… Sheila began telling the story of the mouse and the elephant, and we were all wondering if we were getting some sort of moral lesson. But the punch line, it turns out, was a theatrically demonstrated image of the mouse fucking the elephant, but good... Sheila then went on to accuse nearly every Hasher present of engaging in Sex on the Hash….

 

Sex on the Hash

Since we ran along the Corniche, RA found it prudent to request all Hashers who’ve engaged in sex on the beach to out themselves for a down down. Now we know who all the deviants are: Fairy Lights, Thunder Down Under, Diana, Bloody Nips, Sheila, Jolly Rogerer, and Shagnasty And I’d be willing to bet there are some others out there who were just too shy to come in the center….

Apparently, New Jennifer didn’t have the opportunity to come last week, poor lass.

Bloody Nips kept complaining: it’s too long, it’s too short, it’s too hot, it’s not hot enough….

AJ and Itchy Dick were brought in for a Sex on the Hash charge, but I don’t know what. All I have written is, “Who’s pitcher and who’s catcher?”

Sports Bra for a Girl, Shagnasty and Paul received the double charge of being Front Running Bastards and Sex on the Hash by being overheard to say, “We’re fucked, it’s too long!”

Itchy Dick was wearing sexy knickers – and we even got to see ‘em!

Tia was brought in because Sheila wanted to watch her do a down down.

Heather was heard to say, “I hope tonight’s a wet t-shirt contest!”

All the blondes (or those representing blondes): Boston Illegal, Paul, Lisa, Liz, Tia and Jenny, were brought in because Kevin told a story about his time as a prisoner of Azkaban when he asked a woman, “Do you have teletext service here?” and she replied, “Don’t ask me, I’m blonde!” Sheila brought Tia in for this because “they all wanna see you do a down down.” Tia replied – and good for her – “That’s what Mark said last night!”

Sheila brought the virgins in again, just for good measure:

        Dave – for being a dumpster diver

        Jenny – for being MI5

        Lisa – for being part of the Loveboat crew.

 

RA Abuse

Heather nearly knocked Sheila over at the beginning of the run!

Jolly Rogerer left Sheila on his own and lost in the car park!

 

Bloody Late Arriving Bastards (BLABs)

Carpet Burns and Danni arrived just in time for the circle…and since they had done so much running, they decided to sit throughout the circle – so they got double down downs for that!

 

Natterers

Tracey and Short-n-Curly

 

Thunder Down Under celebrated his 21st birthday…Happy Birthday, Fuck You!!

 

Hash Shit

New Jennifer was finally able to rid herself of the Hash Shit this week. There were two contenders, but eventually French Intern won out, and gave New Jennifer a nice, big, sweaty hug for the privilege…and we know he’ll be here next week – he’s Haring/Hosting!



 

“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)



Notes:

 

All Hashers:

·         Please remember to recycle your cans. There are bags provided specifically for this so it’s not difficult.

·         Please let us know if you’re planning to bring a virgin along.

·         Please clean up after yourself at the On-back.

·         Please shut up during the Circle!
