AUH4 Run Number 1570
Monday 28th July 2008
The Event:
The Hashers gather off the Island this week at the Seashore Villas by Mangrove Village for a run. The directions there were easy to follow for the first time ever.
The on-back was a lot of fun, hosted by Dan. We actually got to do a circle inside for once, enjoying down downs in the air conditioning. Pizza was the meal, giving us all a break from the KFC or curry we always eat.
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 head to Karama St. (24th Street). Bring swimwear. Map and directions at the back.
Note that updated information and maps of the run location is always available at www.geocities.com/auh4.

July 2-4, 2010 Interhash in Kuching, Malaysia
R.A….R.A….R.A….
Sheila RA’d his final hash with us and made the following charges:
Heinous Sins
The Yanks because a man in the US this past week shot his lawnmower because it wasn’t working (can you blame him?)
New Zealanders were called in because they have been naming people all kinds of crazy things: “K”, “Talula does the hula from Hawaii”, “Number 16 bus shelter”
Social Handgrenade, Bloody Nips, Marina, Dunebasher, and New Zealand army guy – brought in for being in the military and setting up tripwires along the run route.
Sins from the Run
Ballbreaker and Never Never were heard to say “Fuck a Duck!” instead of actually calling a falsie….
Another Hasher with difficulty calling falsies was none other than one of the hares, French Intern, who when asked what three circles with x-es in them are called, replied, “Back check!” Tsk tsk.
Otter was called in for his graceful somersault – easily a 9.5.
Big Ears was called in for hitting a Smart Car after about six hours of drinking. I guess the car couldn’t have been that smart…or maybe it was the driver…
Sex on the Hash
Vittamen E got Dan excited while they were setting the run.
Tia and New Jen made out with each other when they said hello.
Social Handgrenade was chased by an SUV of Emirate underage females.
Never Never and Ballbreaker were overheard saying they wouldn’t waste their time bragging about their husbands
Kevin and Sarah for something about an overcoat and a condom
Marina for shopping at Forever 21 (a store that was created for stripper’s clothing)
Dune Basher and the NZ Army guy for arriving late with the beer (what were they doing that made them late?)
Hash Shit
Sheila started the night with it, but it ended up going home with Big Ears – he started the run late because he was doubting that the beer would show up (he claimed it was for the good of the group, no one bought it)
Naming(s)
With Jack Off leaving this week, we were intent on naming Jestyn once and for all, making him the youngest named hasher in Abu Dhabi. A lot of different ideas came out (The result, the one that got away, shoulda jacked off. But the winner far and wide was Number 16 bus shelter!
Henceforth and from now on, in all things relating to Hash, Jestyn will be officially known at Number 16 Bus Shelter! On on!
“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)

IRISH LOVE STORY
An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering
the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma
of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs.
He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself
from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way
out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the
railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.
With laboured breath, he leaned against the
door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's
agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for
there, spread out upon the kitchen table were
literally hundreds of his favourite scones.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his
devoted Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left
this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself
towards the table, landing on his knees in rumpled posture.
His aged and withered hand trembled towards a scone at the
edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife
with a wooden spoon .....
.........
F**k off" she said, "they're for the funeral."
