AUH4 Footprints
Our weekly hash newspaper, compliments of hash scribes "Social Hand Grenade" and "I Like Handcuffs"
Run 1546 - 11 February 2008
















FOOTPRINTS





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






















AUH4 Run Number 1546








Monday 11th February 2008








Mind Your Z’s and U’s








The Event:














It is only fitting that on this day in 2008 the hashers of the Island Hash were introduced to the literary stylings of their American sister, Jack’s Mom, for it was on this day in 1964 that the Beatles invaded America and brought with them their fab lyrical stylings and bopping beats. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, the Island Hash got off to a rockin start down at the Port and rolled its way back to the sandy pits for what could only be described as the gooeyest on-back yet.  














As new Hash scribe, Jack’s Mom is intent on living up to the fantastic and always estimable job as done by VB thus far and only hopes that a little leeway is allowed for this week’s edition simply because she was not really paying attention until well after she volunteered to scribe…
























To save us all a headache…if you’ve only opened Footprints for direction to next Mondays’ Hash, as per every week, they’re AT THE BLOODY BACK
























Run Verdict






















  • Too many different arrows







    Not enough hills







    Overall It Was a Run.








GM – Big Ears















Hares




Bloody Nips and Dan








Virgins




Mark who was difficult to see due to his lacking stature. Steve who came to us for two days from Qatar by way of York. And Odi – let her Finnish – she will only be here for a week so will not be joining us again.








Hash Numbers




Dune Basher and Sheila for 50 runs –Well done! Mugs all round.








Hash Social




Brunch at Flavours (Nibbly Bits, could you tell us where that is again???) on Feb 15 organized by Nibbly Bits and will be sprog friendly










Dhow trip on March 5 at The Club followed by buffet at the Bistro, not sprog friendly




Progressive Dinner and something about VB leaving on April 5








RA – Perthy Throwup






Did we even sing the RA song this week? Anyway, after all the caterwauling and a completely incomprehensible joke about happy folk and aborigines, RA made the following charges:












Charges from the Run




AJ and ??? – for wearing new shoes, though AJ swore in protest that they were at least three weeks old, maybe that made them taste better…




Sheila – for not knowing what time the run was supposed to start.




Justin – for signing up to coach the Cameroon soccer team.




Robert, Lexi and Frenchfry for being from Europe and protesting it being too cold in Abu Dhabi by spending the circle in the car.






Deb for the heinous crime of inciting to race by declaring, “Let’s race faster” to Carpet Burns and Karia. Carpet Burns for going along with it and limping in with a racing injury, and Karia who wanted to run a little then “walk with the boys…”




Ooz Ee for carrying Pashmina’s “things.”




Robert and Alexi for phone abuse.




Poem for attempted suicide by trying to stop an Arab’s car with her body.








Other Charges




Hardly Sexy for a “hardly small” accident in which the whole family of Sheila, Wendy, and Nibbly Bits should’ve seen the hole. But apparently 8 people could fit in Hardly Sexy’s hole, so I don’t know what all the fuss is about…




The Americans: I’m not really sure what we were being called in for…probably simply being American is sin enough…oh yeah and there’s the whole skipping Hash to watch the Superbowl thing – Go Giants!




Virgin Sins




Steve for photographing a mosque in front of two cops…didn’t he say he was from Qatar??




Mark for running but not shouting On On…Oh…we’re supposed to do that?? And Georg with One E for bringing him…








Charges from the Floor




 None, it was quite an abrupt and somewhat confusing end to the circle.








The Grub




 An ooey gooey Lebanese dinner was enjoyed by all, except Bloody Nips who threatened to turn jihadist on the delivery boys…














Don’t forget to look up the AUH4 website. Continued thanks to Sheila for putting so much effort into a GREAT website - and check out any incriminating photos of yourself:

Social Dates for your Diary:




Friday 15th February 2008




It’s a very ancient custom during February to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god.  As such the Hash Socials are putting on a post-Valentines Day Brunch at Flavours, the Sheraton. 




It should also be noted that on these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed…who’s up for brunch now then?

Dhow Cruise and Buffet at the Club.  Details to follow nearer the time




Friday 4th April 2008






Progressive Dinner.  Details to follow nearer the time

“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)










I got nuttin this week…I promise to be more exciting next week…
















AUH4 Run Number 1547

START TIME:                        1800 Hours

LOCATION:                I completely missed this part, I didn’t hear Georg with one E, and since I wasn’t Hash Scribe at that point, I figured I’d just find out where next week’s run was when I got the Footprints from  VB….oops.
