The Hash was hosted by AC/DC at the Tokelau compound in
Moamoa. A rainy and overcast day it was the perfect day for a run if you like
running in a sauna, since the humidity at least locally was over 100%. We nevertheless
bravely made our way out on the by now familiar route. Some Hashers decided
that going all the way down to the Vaitele road was a bridge too far, and opted
for a gentler return that took us past Don Bosco’s and up the familiar dirt
trail. Over the surprisingly dry river, it was on home. Godfather was absent,
but had sent his ever-shrinking nuts via Coconut Fedex and Poumuli. Thanks to StrapOn for the route of the run below.
Tallyho, returned for a week, was unanimously elected GM for
the night, or ad interim as they say in UN parlance. He congratulated AC/DC for
becoming a fine upstanding member of the Tokelau administration, which was also
attributed to less beer.
The GM called for the newbies to present themselves, and
added a bunch of further request for detailed information from the new lady,
Marie, a French medico. When asked what she specialised in, would it be old
men, she replied – well what is wrong with you. Replying, well we’ll just have
to find out she was given her first down down.
Retreads were Tallyho (been around, came back to check on
us), AC/DC (planting), Jessica (with Tallyho?), Gayboy (working. Working what
exactly?). Snake was appointed Shoe Inspector and failed – even to observe
AC/DC jr.’s new shoes.
This Day in History Awards went to Snake (590 – Consecration
of Pope Gregory I (Gregory the Great)), Silver Bullet (1698 – In an effort to
Westernize his nobility, Tsar Peter I of Russia imposes a tax on beards for all
men except the clergy and peasantry – this was deemed a fine rule for the
Hash), Captain Mortein (1807 – The Royal Navy bombards Copenhagen with fire
bombs and phosphorus rockets to prevent Denmark from surrendering its fleet to
Napoleon), Lewinsky (1981 – Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women enters into force – he called his wife a bitch
after the run), Nom Nom (Flag Day in Australia), Pirate Princess (Random Acts
of Kindness Day) and Il Capo (Beyonce’s birthday).
Celebrity Awards went to Prue (for Slim Shady NOT being in
the paper), Wahoo (photo claiming to be largest wahoo caught in Fiji), Lewinsky
and Witch Doctor (menu at Nafanua), with Poumuli getting an accidental
advertising award.
POD opined that we should also mention the 60 year
anniversary of St Mary’s and nominated Karaoke for the award, joined by
Eveready whose absence from the festivities had caused, erm, greater festivity.
Poumuli nominated Snake for Encouraging Underage Illegality,
as Snake had opined that Captain Mortein should have done something nice to
Pirate Princess 15 years ago. The GM then nominated StrapOn and Cunning
Linguist for their scrambling in the river bed when there was a perfectly
useful crossing 10 metres up.
Snake had been disturbed by the arriving Gayboy and his very
sticky handshake. The GM advised him that he needed to change hands
occasionally to avoid callus formation. The GM was then given a Facebook
Celebrity Award by POD.
Sassy thought she had been the first to complete the Colour
Run, only to be beat by Il Capo and Screamer. Il Capo explained that she had
come late because of Nom Nom and Prue arriving late and hugover, and as they
had walked the run they had let her win.
Sassy then nominated Captain Morten for Father of the Week
for the several beatings and smackdowns administered on Marco Polo. Heather had
been quietly working in her office when a large bang had set off, and nearly
resulted in the assassination of her colleague Kerry – the Black Swan strikes
again.
Gayboy nominated Prue for not recognising him on a drunken
Friday night, but POD and Poumuli also backed this up with further anecdotal
evidence.
The Hare and Hosts were saluted, before we sang the Hash
Anthem for the departing Silver Bullet and Tallyho.
Next week’s run will be hosted by Ray Charles at AC/DCs
place.
On On
Poumuli, IKA Slit
