The Hash was hosted at On the Rocks – HQ1 – as Gayboy had to
“pull out” again. POD the GM acted as host as Lewinsky was “fishing”. We had
Rufie as a live hare and set off down Beach Road towards Aggies, then around to
the wharf. It became obvious that Cockblocker and Godfather were trying to be “seen
exercising” by the sundry paddlers. Rounding past the wharf and down Vaiala beach,
up to the UNDP office where the slower runners took the shortcut on home. The
rest went off down the river and around the back roads before we all rejoined
for the circle at HQ1. Perfectly chilled nuts from Godfather were in evidence.
The GM called the circle to order rather early as Godfather
had to depart for a paddling meeting. First up we had the celebrities –
Godfather (sister in the paper, Swinger’s mum, so a double), CB and Poumuli
(photos in Earth Negotiations Bulletin from SIDS), Crime (“well-known criminal
in Samoa” robs the visiting canoes) and Rufie (Man accused of drugging
backpackers).
The retreads were Crash Bandicoot (looking after kids,
doubled for cellphonus), Rachel (no excuse) and Schumacher. The Shoe Inspector
Snake enthusiastically went after Crime’s new ones, thereby missing Rufie’s.
Thus all three of them got a shoe to drink from.
This Day in History went to Snake as married to closest
living relative of Transporter (1906 – The Newport Transporter Bridge is opened
in Newport, South Wales by Viscount Tredegar), POD for Lewinsky the Ninja
Bomber (2007 – Russia tests the largest conventional weapon ever, the Father of
All Bombs), Crash for Eveready (International Chocolate Day) and POD (Feast Day
of St Ariane of Phrygia).
The GM then launched her awards, first of all for a Hasher
who has been away for some 7 years, then came last week, only to perform an oesophageal
acid wash after too many down downs. Schumacher got the Call of the Moose
Award.
Then at the food and wine fair, while Godfather had been
sitting down to eat, one Hasher had changed his daughter’s diapers right then
and there at the table. Poumuli tried all sorts of appeals, even the false
claim that it had been number 2 instead of just 1, so a double was
administered. How many other Hash Fathers have done the same?
Opening up the floor, Snake nominated POD for cutting him
off at high speed outside the Snakepit. As this was a Schumacher Award there
was a lapse in the GM’s poise here. The GM then nominated Wahoo for her
Supermodel Award for the show on Saturday. At that point we welcomed her Dad
Norman into the circle.
Crash was trying to recount what sounded like a horrifying
experience for Lewinsky’s kids involving the back of a truck and some fishing
hooks, but it went on too long so a Verbal Diarrhoea Award went to Crash. Snake
then nominated Wahoo for not teaching her Dad the Hash Rules – smoking, leaning
and talking in the circle. Snake also wanted to nominate those who had not had
an award yet, but this was too early in the game for the GM so she gave one to
Snake.
The GM and Blowfish then set up the raffle for the prizes in
support of their Perimeter Relay charity, and this was drawn by Norman. Tammy
won the asi asi and the wahoo, Swinger and BB won the masi masi, Mr Whippy got
the 100 tala bar tab at OTR, and Snake got the fia fia night at Sinalei. Snake
then suggested that the drawer should get a down down, and he was joined by
Wahoo for yelling at him about chatting up little girls.
Now the GM gave awards to those not yet benefitting – Overstayer,
Witch Doctor, Blowfish, Imelda da Welda, and Crime for leaning. Wahoo then gave
Poumuli the Husband of the Year Award for buying the dress she was wearing at
the fashion show. He was joined by Witch Doctor for dancing in the circle.
Rufie caught Crime smoking in the circle, while Snake joined
him as he was “sick of holding his nuts” the whole time. Lewinsky got the
Latecummer Award.
As we were closing, POD told the circle to watch the blog as
we have three potential hosts for next week. As the Host and the Hare were
saluted we were treated to some rather over exuberant singing from Lewinsky,
which we all can guess how was rewarded!
On On
Poumuli, IKA Slit
