The Hash was hosted by Weathercock and Poumuli, at Poumuli
and Wahoo’s house off Bank Street in Vaoala. Crime had agreed to set the run
and it was on out down the familiar track, as new fencing prevented Crime from
going through some properties. Your Scribe was walking and thinking he had
found a short cut instead found himself crawling on all fours under fallen
trees and bushes. But this led to the right trail eventually which led out on
to the road below Mynahs. It was then on home up the hill. A serious run for
those who ran, and a sweaty event for the walkers. But Godfather’s sweet nuts
awaited.
Julia Gillard our GM was back from his frolics in Thailand.
He appointed Full Moon as Shoe Inspector, but she failed. The visitors to the
Hash were Alban from France, Michelle and Douglas from Australia. Dan hadn’t explained
the rules to Alban so he took a down down.
The retreads were Captain Mortein, the GM, Tickled, Swinger,
Pirate Princess, Weathercock and Nessie (Snake’s mum). The GM then turned his
attention to the Rugby 7s and the victorious Fijiians. Since Tickled was born
in Fiji and Weathercock is returning there they took this award.
This Day in History Award went to the GM (1965 – Ranger
program: NASA launches Ranger 9, the last in a series of unmanned lunar space
probes. The GM sells Rangers), Poumuli (1978 – The first UNIFIL troops arrived
in Lebanon for peacekeeping mission along the Blue Line – he served in UNIFIL
in 1989), Manwhore for Gayboy (International Day of Happiness), Weathercock (World
Meteorological Day) and Crime (Feast Day of St Dismas the Good Thief).
Celebrity Awards went to Crime (letter about the facts
behind Crime), Godfather, Captain Mortein and Lewinsky for Sassy (front page in
Observer). POD reminded that it was also Emily’s birthday.
Turning to the circle for nominations, Dan wanted the GM to
have a double for showing off his “equipement” in the shower room at the gym.
This boomeranged to Dan for looking at the GM’s package. Granny Smith nominated
the GM for finding a missing airplane, while Dan had been at the Xbar and had
to break up a fight for One Infection. This too backfired.
Weathercock had been taken to the beach by Swinger and they
had picked up Captain Mortein and Pirate Princess on the way. Pirate Princess
incidentally looked like she wanted to strangle the Captain. Anyway, the crime
was that the Captain had forgotten to bring the cheese, the one task that he
had. Thus a Not Cutting the Cheese Award to the Captain.
Witch Doctor had used her welding skills to make some cool
ashtrays for OTR, and had offered to attach some security measures so they wouldn’t
get stolen. Lewinsky had declined the offer, yet is now so worried about losing
them that he is not using them at all. Cheapass Award to Lewinsky.
Swinger reminded that this would be the 2nd time
that Weathercock has left the Apia Hash, and before his double, WC thanked the
Hash for a great time and wished to be able to return one day.
The GM suddenly remembered that Pirate Princess had had to
change the tyre on the car while Captain was on the run. He shared this
Gentleman Award with Swinger. Granny Smith then gave Dan the Mustard Award, as
Dan had been as keen as mustard to get an award given yet they continuously
backfired.
Snake stated that it was not often that someone leaves the
Hash twice, so offered that anyone who had been here for both of Weathercocks
departures take a down down – this was Snake, Godfather, Crime, Lewinsky and
Nessie.
Dan then got a false accusation award for his lack of a
name, followed by a debate with Godfather as to what we will do for Easter
Weekend Run.
The Hare and the Hosts were saluted, the Hash Anthem
performed with gusto for Weathercock and some food put on by the Hosts
consumed.
Watch the Blog for next week’s run.
On On
Poumuli, IKA Slit
