FOOTPRINTS
The OFFICIAL organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4
AUH4 Run Number 1547 – Monday 18th February 2008
Here We Go Loopy Loo
The Event:
What can I say? This was an interesting event to say the least. The run was a bit loopy, and I think some decided to hare their own course, but I’m pretty sure we all made it back safely in the end.
Once everyone was back at the cars, we all gathered around coach Big Ears so he could draw plays in the sand for us. After which, we all gave a team cheer (well, we should have!) and promptly raced over to Prancer’s for a raucous on-back complete with sacrificial virgins, lewd behavior and plenty of meat and tasty beverages to wash it all down…
Also…see note at the end, but Monday’s run will be the Chris Lewis Memorial run, so don’t forget your funny hats!
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
- Rubbish!
- Were there even any markings??
- Too much soft sand!
- The timing was rubbish!
- Were we supposed to run or were we taking the train?!?
GM – Big Ears
Hares
Half-Bit Whore and Dune Basher
Returner
George, who came back to us after being gone for three or four months. I’m not really sure why he left, but welcome back!
Virgins
Kevin who joined us from Halifax as a watcher of the marines, or something like that, and he promises to come back and run with us again.
Christy who flew all the way from the USofA to be with us and her “friend” AJ, she’ll be here for two weeks and threatens to run again.
Walker (I thought he was a runner?) and Dave who were most probably CIA but swear they’re not, were here only for one week, so I don’t believe they’ll be back any time soon.
Hash Social
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 4.
Brunch at the Millenium, May 9, more info to come.
Hash Haberdasher
If you need or would like to buy a t-shirt, she’s got ‘em.
New Members
It must be that as a group we’re being way too friendly…we had two new members this week:
Mark – after only his second week has decided to join us!
Kevin – he was a virgin and a new member all in one week, whew!
Welcome to you both! On-on!
RA – Perthy Throwup
Seriously, why do we even attempt the song? RA made the following charges:
Charges from the Run
VB and Nibbly Bits, and for some reason Jack’s Mom (hey…that’s who I was at the time…), for not knowing where the brunch at Flavours was.
Hardly Sexy was also called in for some heinous sin…seems to be a pattern…
Big Ears was called out for performing the icky sin of hash slash…I only just learned what that meant…it’s still winter – the plants don’t need watering yet!
The Kiwis, Carpet Burns, Dune Basher and George were all called in for some reason which I am sure was heinous.
AJ and Christy for BLABbing.
Prancer also BLAB, but he had a very good excuse. He started running in the wrong location...
Sex on the Hash
Big Ears – for declaring, “I bent over my car and popped something!”
Nibbly Bits (who was she talking to?): “Please don’t pull my pants down!”
Poo – after being asked where the arrows were, he pointed at Christy and said, “2 big ones!”
Wendy who didn’t’ fall over and cause consternation.
Sheila for his lost property which he blamed on Wendy.
Ooz Ee for being “amazed with what you’ve got in your bags!”
Debbie, apparently more accustomed to more vigorous exercise, for stating, “well, that was a quickie!”
Other Charges
Wet Willy who was a fashion victim in his color coordinated ninja attire.
Half-Bit Whore for his really pretty and oh-so-colorful star pants!
Kangaroo Keg, Big Ears and Perthy Throw Up for either being Aussie, making fun of the Aussies, or playing Women’s Cricket and winning the Ashes…..
Naming
None, there was no naming ceremony this week. Nope. Not at all.
Okay fine, there was.
Since I am taking over from VB – who incidentally is also left handed, must be some prerequisite for being Hash Scribe – it was decided that I needed a proper Hash name. And as Big Ears said, you could’ve “bet the mortgage” that I was going to be Christened “Jack’s Mom,” no question. Ah, but thanks to Teaboy’s genuine creativity, that all went quickly down the drain…
Actually, I would like to extend my deepest, most heart-felt thanks to Teaboy for the suggestion he made. Really. Thanks.
There were a few clever, funny names brought up: Jill (clever), Jack’s Brat (could also be Jack Sprat…very nice), Jack’s Mum (well, duh!) and then….Jack Off.
I think we may have interrupted evening prayers with the noise levels after hearing that suggestion. So, after really no deliberation at all, it was final. I am forever and ever for anything Hash related to be known as Jack Off.
Sh*t.
The Grub
Thanks to Prancer and Half-Bit Whore for the shawarma, the roasted whole chickens and accompaniments.
PLEASE:
· let us know if you are planning to bring a virgin along
· clean up after yourself at the on-back
