AUH4 Run Number 1550 – Monday 10th March 2008


Circus Waitus Maximus


 


 


The Event:


 


As Hash Scribe, I tend to think throughout the week about what I want to write for each week’s run. I try to be witty, funny, even. On Sunday night last week, as Gavin and I were setting the run, I had it all planned out: this would be this Circus Maximus run (due to the several down and back areas of the trail, particularly the parking lot bit), I’d find some interesting link between the Hashers and the Romans, like how the Hashers conquered the trail just as the Romans conquered the Carthaginians, and all the Hashers would pat me on the back on a Footprints well written.


 


Well, it sort of went down like that. The run was probably the best and most well marked run of the year, (indeed, the pen is mighty)! We even incorporated time for those who wanted to, to express their faith since we ran right past a mosque at prayer time.


 


We all gathered round the pool next to Teaboy’s for the on back, and to my knowledge nobody went swimming. We all had great fun hanging out, waiting on the food, doing the circle, waiting on the food, drinking beer, waiting on the food. For those who missed it, yes, the food did indeed finally arrive and the curry really hit the spot after such a long run and long wait!



 


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


 



  • Best run ever! (Hey…I’m the scribe…you can have best run when you’re the scribe!)

  • Too short!

  • Too much prayer time!

  • Gray chalk on gray sidewalks…clever!

 


GM – Big Ears


 


Hares


Gavin and Jack Off


 


Caterers/Hosts


Teaboy and Jack Off Teaboy thanks for the use of the rooftop…I mean pool. Next time, we’re all bringing our suits!


 


Virgins


Suzi joins us from Birmingham and she is a naturist, wait, a naturalist, no wait…she’s only here 10 days, so she won’t be back.


Simon is from Brighton and swears he’s not gay. He is an engineer, and even though there are no trains in Abu Dhabi, he says he’ll be here for a long time coming and plans to return.


 


Visitor


Bonzella from Beijing Hash joined us for the night. He’s working on the airport in Al Ain, but secretly we’re pretty sure he’s CIA.


 


Leavers


Gavin is leaving. Last week he was a returner and this week he’s a leaver. We’ll miss you Gavin!

RA – Sheila


I think it’s great we finally got it together to sing the RA song in a round (ahem)…RA made the following charges:


 


Sins from the Dhow Cruise


VB for playing with himself around the table while Ballbreaker was scratching her bum and heard to say, “Sometimes I even stick my finger up it.”


Debbie for wearing super sexy shorts


Christine for not being able to tell time and nearly missing the Dhow cruise.


Ballbreaker, Big Ears, Nibbly Bits and How Much all for needing chaperones on the cruise.


Nibbly Bits, Ballbreakers and Angry Pussy for being quite tipsy on pink champagne.




Front Running Bastards


Viagra Baby, Itchy Dick, AJ, Gavin and Richard, again for being FRBs. So they got another language lesson…it’s “on on,” not “no no.”


Also, it was apparently straight to bed after hash for Richard – he was already wearing his PJs!


 


More Sins


Hardly Sexy for wandering off on his own. Also, he is still trying to get his name changed to “really very sexy!”


Fairy Lights for becoming a Grandad! Congratulations!!


Nibbly Bits and Jack Off for losing and/or abandoning their sprogs!


Bonzella for wearing a yellow shirt!!


Teaboy and Prancer for wearing hats in the circle!


 


Sex on the Hash


Big Ears (to Whiplash): “I’ve got a big one later for you tonight!”


Whiplash (in reply): “I really do want a big one!”


Big Ears also for playing with some little boy’s balls!


Fairy Lights for stripping on the street!


How Much and Shane for saying, “Let’s do it now!”


 


Charges from the Floor


Prancer reminded us all the next run is on St. Patrick’s Day so wear green!


 


Hash Shit


AJ brought the Shit this week and gave it to Itchy Dick, who complained of not having a shirt to wear after Hash and who was promptly pantsed by VB.


 


The Grub


 


Wait, there was grub??  After many harrassing phone calls and threats on their children, the boys from Arab Udopi finally arrived with really yummy curry. Thanks to Teaboy and Jack Off for their vigilance in getting the food there…

Classifieds


 


I have been informed from work colleges about the HHH society I am interested in joining if not only to get fit but also to meet some like minded people. I will be moving over to Abu Dhabi on the 1 st April on my own. I am getting relocated through work for a yr +.


 


At present I am looking for accommodation (have surfed the net and finding it impossible to track any agencys down), just for myself, a single 27yr old male, fully house trained. lol.. I know this is a long shot, but thought it be worth a go as I understand accomodation in Abu Dhabi is hard to come by due to a shortage. I would be grateful if you hear about any vacancys for either a shared accomodation where I could rent a room of somebody or a 1 bed apartment, that you could put my name forward.


 


See you in April for my first meetup.

Franz (Alpine) and Bronwyn (Whiplash) +2 Hash Brats have to vacate their Villa at the beginning of July as they are to be demolished. If anyone has any info on empty Villas (future hash venues) or apartments could they please contact either of us: Alpine on 050235 8352 or Whiplash on 050 235 5864.


 


Many Thanks,


A future homeless hash family.

“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)


 





 



And now for the Hash Crap…In Honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we’ve got an Irish theme this week:


 


An Irish Pub Joke...


An Irish man shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more.


 


The bartender says, 'Sure it's up to yourself, but wouldn't you rather I was bringing them one at a time? Then they'll be fresh and cold.'


 


'Nah...' your man says, ' I'm preferrin' that ye bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here. We agreed before we split up that we'd drink to each other's honour this way.'


 


'Well,' says the bartender, 'that's a grand thing to do, all right. I'll bring the pints as you ask.'


 


Well, time goes on and your man's peculiar habit is known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day though, he comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A group of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened.


 


With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says, 'Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences. What happened?'


 


The Irish man looks extremely puzzled for a moment, and then starts laughing.


 


'Oh, no, no, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see, I've given up drinking for Lent...'


 


An Irish Pub Joke...


An Irish man has been at a pub all night drinking. The bartender finally says that the bar is closed. So your man stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.


 


Once outside he stands up but again falls flat on his face. He crawls home. Reaching the door he tries to stand up, and yet again, falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door and up the stairs. When he reaches his bed he summons the last of his strength and tries one final time to stand.


 


It's no use. He tumbles into bed and is soon sound asleep, only to awaken the next morning to the sound of his wife standing over him shouting.


 


'So... you've been out drinking again!'


 


'How did you know?' he asks, his head hung in shame.


 


'The pub called - you left your damn wheelchair down there again!'


 


 


 


 


An Irish Pub Joke...


An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub. Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land - one, two, three - in each of the pints.


 


The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another...


 


The Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.


 


The Irishman reaches in to the glass, grabs the fly between his fingers and shakes him as hard as he can, shouting 'Spit it out, ya bloody bastard! Spit it out!


 


Irish Diet


 


An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.


 


"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a full day, and repeat


this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have


lost at least 5 pounds."


 


When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost


nearly 60 POUNDS!


 


"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my


instructions?"


 


The Irishman nodded..."I'll tell you though, by jaesuz, I t'aut I were


going to drop dead on dat turd day."


 


"From hunger, you mean?"


 


"No, from f**kin' skippin", the Irishman said
