Run number 1456 was held at the Snake Pit in glorious downtown surroundings. It was fitting that Snake had set the run to start through the kitchen of a nearby Chinese restaurant (more on that later). The number of false trails that were included at first delighted then thoroughly ticked off runners and walkers alike. There ought to be a law…
The trail treated us to a great variety of sights, from teeming backyards, steaming rubbish and a teetering walk along the Vailima stream bank towards the bridge by Mulivai where we had a choice of grabbing barbed wire for balance or tottering along on grass covered wobbly rocks. Unfortunately there were no injuries to report. After some road running confusion, eventually the pack made it back to the Snake Pit where POD once again stepped in as Deputy Dawg for the GM (please come back soon, she is trying to kill us all!).
There was one newcomer to Hash, namely a German visitor with Hobbes. She took a voluntary down down as well, but received a few others with the rest of the German speakers for not observing Hash Hush, even after many reminders. I thought they knew how to obey orders in that part of the world… Eugene Sr. also got a down down, but was not sure if he was retread.
A Romeo award was given to Poumuli for whisking Wahoo off on a romantic get-away to Fiji, while Wahoo got the celebrity award due to Le Manumea appearing in a glowing Observer editorial.
SOTB was awarded several proxy awards for Sassygirl (not coming to Hash, observed drinking at HQ1 during Hash run, etc), as well as for advertising the piss-poor SamoaTel. Lewinsky again had a streamlined haircut that according to POD “did not make him GO any faster” [editorial emphasis added], so that was a down down. Gordon Ramsey again nearly volunteered himself for a double down, and AC/DC was involved in several, the reasons for which are unclear, as was the Zorro incidentally. This was after Poumuli had called on Swinger to take up the role of Religious Adviser since he alone in the Hash watched the televised church services, but Poumuli had to share in the award for hypocrisy since he was actually in that televised service.
Kiwi turned up late, nattily attired in his golf gear and had to drink from his gleaming golf shoes as these were new, clean and new to Hash.
Pussysnatcher got the International Women’s Day award for suggesting that his house mate Crown of Thorns could arrange the next Hash when she returns this week.
Poumuli.
The run from Crown of Thorns and Pussy Snatchers place celebrated St. Patties day with green rice, green beer and tones of good food. Only a few completed the run but the beer was helpfully completed by a hearty crowd of leprechauns. Hashers were introduced to Mija - the pussy from which Pussy Snatchers name was derived.
The run from the Snake Pit was convoluted and tortuous – through volleyball games, under peoples washing, past barking dogs and waving children. Food beer and hashers were plentiful once again. Scribe … where are you?? Thanks to Snake and Fang for hosting once again.
In respect for mother Ireland and the only day the rest of the world eats corned beef casa, de PS and COT will also feature a proper Gaelic dish.
Hash Run #1457, our St. Patrick's Day Run, will be hosted by Pussy Snatcher and Crown of Thorns at their flat in Vailima; close to the Curry House / Zodiac.
A blast from the past. Secret Hash operatives (Poumuli) uncover some choice pictures from long ago. Do you recognize this Hasher? Check-out these photos and more in the Hash Photo Albums.

Hash #1456 will be Downtown at the Snake Pit (Snake and Fang's home). This is a fantastic central location - walking distance from work for many of our Hashers.
POD presided over the hash circle, and dispensed her version of hash justice to various offenders. There were a few newcomers to hash, and a number of re-treads. Gordon Ramsey had earlier volunteered himself for a down down, which POD obliged. Poumuli had written to the papers once again and was awarded for attacking free trade and the World Trade Organization. Several leaners were caught, as well as wearers of shades during the circle. Two new shoes had to drink from their shoes as SOTB had forgotten Das Boot. Delicious has been trying to call her boyfriend when drunk and has got through to SOTB instead, so that warranted a brew. SOTB got one for surfing instead of hashing, and jointly with Poumuli and Sassygirl for not being there for his mum in the hour of need (wiping of sweaty brow). AC/DC had been doing some weird yoga in the yard which also warranted a down down.
