Baku Hash - Run #710 (#709 has been over-ruled).

Again thanks for the Hares TartanTottie/Owain?/TinkleTrail for letting us see some of the real backstreet barrios of Baku while being accosted by those pesky little street urchins! Your ST song & downdowns were truly deserved!!!

CIRCLE had all the elements of a well "rounded" CIRCLE:

-Welcome back to Running Scared who has just returned from a conference in Riga, Latvia to view Art DECO buildings (WTF???) - you deserved those 3 downdowns for being such a wisen-heimer smarty pants!

-4 virgins - I still can't imagine "back to top" position, but am glad to know Chancelor Merkel "gets it" whenever she wants! Anyway Johnny, Ibrahim, PennyBelle, & Ophilia - hope you come back, because next time you get to pay your Hash Fee!

-Oh yeah - the early 3:30 gathering to pay Hash Fees upfront allowed us to Run start at 3:59! Remarkable - it actually worked! Thank you all for your cooperation (and blind obedience you lemmings).

-Awards??? Remember having those? I don't. Anyway we had 2 veteran Hare Awards. Congratulations to Peanut Bladder Small Bits & Count Drunkula for setting 4 runs each this year and getting a tastefully designed "don't Be a XIYAR be a HARE" t-shirt. (Now you too can look just like city park maintenance workers in that gawdawful green!).

-New RA#3 Tartan Tottie grilled the criminals for various hash crimes like paying late & technology on the Hash, but not before beginning with himself for "wearing new shoes"! Geezus man what were you thinking???

-Last, we had a Naming. For he that is no longer called Stephan, but "Shaved Xiyar" you have been baptized into tha annals of Hashdom for now and forever more!!!

-Circle ended with Socailized Drinking and then carrying on at Finnegans!




ON-ON!
