The Hash was hosted by Poumuli, Wahoo and Yahoo at their
house off Bank Street in Vaoala. The weather was clement and the assembled
throng set off for the run having been told to turn right on Bank Street. This
simple directive was then immediately ignored as they promptly turned back and
went left. This meant that the marks were seen in reverse, and the longest
possible route was taken all the way down to the SPREP road instead of the road
above Mynas. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water, but you have to break its
legs and push it in if you want APS on your case. Thankfully Godfather had
brought the usual supply of nuts.
POD called the circle to order and called the newbies forth –
Alex here for a year and will be in the perimeter relay. Retreads was Hot Nuts who claimed to
have been tending the woman. Sunny Side Up was appointed Shoe Inspector, after the
GM first got her name wrong, and SSU failed.
Celebrity Awards went to Lewinsky for Pussysnatcher (at the
Home Café photos), Poumuli (for looking bewildered in the paper) and Swinger
for Snatched and Slim Shade (multiple photos in the paper).
This day in history Awards went to Witch Doctor (1692 –
Salem witch trials: In Salem, Province of Massachusetts Bay, five people, one
woman and four men, including a clergyman, are executed after being convicted
of witchcraft), Poumuli (1955 – In the Northeast United States, severe flooding
caused by Hurricane Diane, claims 200 lives), Twin Peaks (1980 – Azaria
Chamberlain disappears, at Ayers Rock, Northern Territory, probably taken by a
dingo, leading to what was then the most publicized trial in Australian
history) Lewinsky (1998 – Lewinsky scandal: US President Bill Clinton admits in
taped testimony that he had an "improper physical relationship" with
White House intern Monica Lewinsky. On the same day he admits before the nation
that he "misled people" about the relationship), Sunny Side Up (World
Humanitarian Day) and Wahoo (International Lefthanders Day).
The GM started off her awards with one for Nicholas for
Inappropriate Ogling, for having commented on the so-so blackness and slimness
of Sam’s legs. Sam joined him for the Possession of Ogleable Legs Award.
Hot Nuts had a confession to make, that never before had he
given in to his age, but he had now bought a donut. It took a while for this
one to sink in, but a Butt Exercising Award went to Hot Nuts. It was now Murray’s
Time To Shine, with stories from the international media, on the shooting of
Twin Peaks, why runners should do yoga and something else involving SSU. Twin
Peaks, SSU and Nicholas took this award.
The GM had heard some complaints about the run, and after a
lot of back and forth it was ascertained that Swinger, Speedhumper, Claudia and
Nicholas were the source of and beneficiaries for the Cockup Award.
Opening up for nominations, Twin Peaks noted that Godfather
had confided in him about a ripoff at a hotel, with a guest being charged
double for a bourbon and coke. Godfather denied this, and as Twin Peaks showed
some disgruntlement at this turn of events, Murray had to join him.
Poumuli nominated Lewinsky. An excellent call but failed. Swinger
nominated Crime for Not Living Up to Hash Name, as he had returned a borrowed
mug. We then had congratulatory awards for the Wallabies, Silver Ferns and
something else, but the pen ran out so no record was made.
The Hare and Hosts – Poumuli and Wahoo were saluted, and we
feasted on Hungarian Goulash that was alternatively mild, hot or Farken Hot.
