Last Night's Hash Photos Up!

Hi everyone, just posted some of the photos from last night's fantastic Hash in Lotopa. You can check these out and more in the Hash Photo Albums.

Hash Run - Mon 8 Sep 08

Delicious, Desirable, Kuini, & Sally are hosting Hash this Monday at the GM's home behind Adria's Cakes in Lotopa. Shafter will be filling-in for the GM, and Mr. Whippy for the Brewmaster... as those two (Eveready and Karaoke) will be away in Hawaii!

This is a great location. It's close-to-town and always makes for a great run.

On On!

Mr. Whippy.

PS: I've heard rumors that the Hash Monk will make an appearance soon. Could this be the run???

Walking Eagle Hash Run - Mon 1 Sep 08

This Monday's Hash will be hosted by Walking Eagle and be held at Fang's Mum's in Vaoala. As you drive up the hill, it's the first house after the Shrine of Three Hearts (see map).

Being the first Monday of the month, this is a BYO Food Hash Run - so be sure to bring your own food for the BBQ. And yes, as always, the standard Hash fee ($15) will be collected.

On On, Mr. Whippy.

Hoppy's Going Down Under!!! - Mon 25 Aug 08

Talking about going out with a BANG…..last night’s run saw a fantastic turnout of regular hashers, which were slightly outnumbered by the medical students from Old Mother England and her environs and to top it off, a special brew… Vailima Export Lager, renowned for its smooth taste, high alcohol content and ability to make people speak in many tongues in a very short amount of time…. Let alone speak to the ground in languages no one else can comprehend! LOL

Last night’s run was co-hosted by Underrated, Xrated and the departing HOPPY who shouted the potent keg.

The trot set off from Lotopa, with Poumuli, as always, leading the pack astray until SassygirlBJ found the trail heading towards the new Lotopa Ford (it wasn’t a RHD Ford). Trail ran along the river banks, nicely dotted with used diapers and rusty cans of all shapes and sizes. Poor Delicious almost lost her virginity along the same trail when a tree branch refused to let her go. Snake came to her rescue… and all this before the nectar of the Gods….lol.

Trail meandered along the dry river bed and ended up someone’s taro patch and onto the tar-sealed road at Vailoa. From there the pack headed towards the golf-course and goodness knows where-else as the walkers, including the scribe went awol as usual and took the short-cuts home. Kiwi, the hare was noticeably unimpressed when he reached base and found half the hashers already relaxing in armchairs smoking and sucking on nuts….not as sweet as Godfather’s Nuts tho!

GM called the noisy bunch for the ONONs.

Welcome to the many new boots – Medical Students. Some very fit and good looking runners in this bunch..lol.. there was even a sensitive one who liked to go for long romantic walks on the beach and watch the sunset…. Delicious offered to take this new hasher for a walk any time. Go Delicious!!!

There were only a handful of retreads to penalize and they promptly fronted up, most likely fearing a double down down of the super charged nectar.

Samoa may not have won any gold medals at the Olympics, but according to the GM, Samoa definitely got Gold Medals during the HMAS Manoora’s recent visit to Apia… the die hard, party hard girls, led by Delicious and Kuini ensured the ships company was well entertained whilst in town. Malo Party Girls. It was also whispered to the Scribe that a search party was sent out one of the nights to look for Delicious who went awol for a while…..she was just checking out the moon beams on the stilled waters of Apia…lol.

A visiting blondish Cinderella with defined biceps and the mouthy one from Wales were pulled up for wearing new boots and made to drink out of their supposedly new shoes. Thank goodness they were bloody good sports as the Scribe’s bionic eyes did not agree with the sniffer (ACDC)’s assessment, but what the heck… good for a laugh!!! Shafter encouraged them to drink more Vailima for medicinal purposes should any untoward signs appear from this exercise.

Snake was dobbed in for accusing one of the hash-men for not damn well answering his phone, when it was discovered that he had been ringing Fang (his missus) all the time. One would say this is signs of old age.

The following received their shirts – Hoppy, his 55th100th….no that’s not his age!!! Note the Sean Connery, young good looks folks… ACDC, 50th, not his age either, just the speed of his mouth when inebriated, Shafter his 500th, definitely deserving at place at RLS or Guggenheim Museum…LOL… and Delicious, her 50th as well. NO COMMENTS…LOL!!! Shafter and Hoppy both undressed and played stupid buggers after unsuccessfully trying to get Delicious to change her new shirt in front of the crowd.

Lauren, with the Technicolor shorts was penalized for washing her face and hands with the beer….serious misdemeanor here. GM and Karaeoke were dobbed in by Tony Blair for both forgetting their own wedding anniversary despite having invited TB and Selena two weeks before. Karaeoke and Delicious (whipping girl for GM) took the penalty. At this stage of the proceedings, Delicious was starting to speak several languages all at the same time…what a talented mere!!

SassygirlBJ dobbed in Under-rated for burning her after helping to cook the BBQ for him. Hobby, being the good sport that he is helped his co-host by keeping him company with an additional down down. In the meantime, Kiwi tried to incriminate Shafter, who had rcvd his third down-down and was having problems standing upright, by slipping him a sausage to eat in the circle. Shafter turned the table on Kiwi instead, after protesting that Karaeoke was trying to eat his sausage!!!

The GM called all to sing the hash national anthem in honor of our departing mate Hoppy plus threatened to give him a double down down if he did not promise to come back to Samoa.

The motley lot was later on treated to an excellent spread of chicken and fish curry with the accompaniments plus a full on BBQ. Ummm ummm very very nice spread Xrated.

If you can remember any other dirt that you want included in the hash trash, drop me a note or just leave a comment on the blog, or better still, you can write the next hash trash.. ONON!!!

Plus $5 Fee is Back

Once again, new Hashers and Guests will pay the standard Hash fee plus $5 for their first three runs. The plus fee helps cover the food and drink purchases incurred by Hash to assist the Host when we have large numbers.

The Grandmaster, Eveready.

HMAS Manoora Visit with AHHH - Tue 19 Aug 08

History was made last week in the 28 plus years of running Hash in Samoa. Hash was moved to a Tuesday to accommodate some visiting Aussie hashers with a drinking problem who hit the shores of Samoa salivating for the nectar of the Gods. Many an old hash man commented that it took a hash mere to change what has withstood for 28 years of running hash in Samoa. One can only say, it takes smart hash men to take notice of the meres some time… ok most of the time!!! On On SassygirlBJ!!!

There was quite some excitement as the local chapter of hashers assembled at the Maliu Mai Restaurant and Bar at Fugalei, in anticipation of some fresh blood straight off the HMAS Manoora. Finally, Jock pulled up with a ute-full of fresh blood alright, just the right sex for the meres to ogle. Some of the old hashmen whined about the lack of the female sailors in the group. Of course they brightened up when some medical students made their appearance. Pathetic could be the appropriate term here…LOL!!!

The enthusiastic trot took the runners through the swampy reclaimed area of Taufusi. Scribe, believes this is one of Snake's old stomping grounds! The group ended at the lights at AST and proceeded up the Moamoa road until the climb up to the Prayer House on Mt. Vaea. The walkers took the gentle climb whilst the fit lot were chased by the visiting sailors up the mountain. Finally as dusk fell the group started arriving back at base thirsty, sweaty and a bit smelly for their efforts.

The visitors were well taken care of, fed and consumed plenty of Vailima, drunk from the shells of Godfather's sweetest nuts in the whole of Samoa, an experience noted by the visitors as a memorable experience. Many of the sailors raved on about the friendliness of Samoa etc., and are now keen to come back again, very soon. They got many tips from the locals on etiquette, picking up sheilas from the bars… no make that, "what to look for" and "how not to get your constitution re-arranged by an irate samoan boyfriend" and how to spot the real girls from the wannabes….lol

The GM extended a warm armed force welcome to the group…was expecting all the guys to jump to attention there, but not so. Whilst the GM tried to get proceedings under way, so many of the older hash men were restless, rowdy and couldn't quite get their enthusiasm toned down as they all strutted like peacocks trying to help the GM…..phew!!!

The new boots saw some 14 or so sailors and others introduce themselves. Snake proceeded to shake hands with the former group and then stepped back in to the circle leaving the new meres wondering what was wrong with them….thanks to Lezzie who jumped in and gave each new mere a peck on the cheek with promises for more if….lol

Delicious was well dressed in Puletasi and brand spanking new boots. Delicious and a couple of the Manoora boys were made to drink out of their new boots. There were quite a few retreads, the scribe lost count.

SassygirlBJ was pulled up for her recent trip down under where she was nicknamed Paris Hilton…according to the GM, Paris is known only for being dumb blond, and her sexual escapades…. What has Sassy been up to, to earn the name. She was also given a down down for being ieresponsible and for pushing for a change of date for hash.

GM noted that Fang recently celebrated her ? birthday. Since meeting Fang some 10 or so years ago, she looked the same, was the same size and still the same age….according to the GM. Here is one mere who hasn't aged.

Kuini was asked to demonstrate her moves and the "BOD" for the visitors, to which she enthusiastically did as always.

The keg was afloat in no time with such a big turnout of thirsty and excited hashers that the Maliu Mai Restaurant folks were left wondering how their luck had turned as far as their sales was concerned. Thanks to Ring Ring for providing the venue and to Kiwi for settting the run.

At the conclusion of the awards, all the guests were invited to sample the local fare enthusiastically produced by the local hashers. Thanks everyone for making our guests feel right at home. No doubt they made the most of their stay and contributed to the vailima sales - let alone Lewinsky's Bar…..Malo Lewinsky!!!!

Next week's run will be from Underrated & Xrated's Home - with their co-Host Hoppy who has offered to shout the keg…. Well done Hoppy!!!

See you all there!!!

Hash Trash- Fathers Day Run

Fathers Day run @ Matareva

Hashers were lucky this weekend to receive good weather for their Father Day run at Matareva. Hash started out with a good turn out considering it was a public holiday.

Snake and Fang managed to find the hash bunch a fale right in the middle of the beach which was excellent!

Snake set off early to set one of his famous runs which included everything from mud, to the jungle, and water..lots of it too..

From the stories and complaints from those that did the run, it sounded like a great one. Malo Snake...Kiwi got back early with his son from the run and got the BBQ going. Poumuli brought some of his famous spare ribs with that killer sauce (got to get him pissed to hand over the recipe) The GM kept his promise and brought that tasty turkey..boy was it good. Selena brought her famous Bolivian Steak..and the other hashers all threw in some form of chow for all to enjoy.

The hashers were starting to get a little nervous and started getting the shakes when Lewinsky turned up 2 hours late with the Keg.2 hours was obviously too long a break from the nectar of life for the Apia Hash...so to help with this, Pussy Snapper was sent up a coconut tree to collect a few nuts (hero award if you ask me) Also, an odd view, to see a white fella up in the coconut tree collecting nuts..

When Lewinsky turned up, it didn’t take long for the hash team to get the keg setup and start pouring what must have been one of the better kegs that hash has had!

Awards were thrown left right and center. They came in from all over the place, and every hasher that was present received a down down..some had a few more than they could handle as Lewinsky tried to revive an already dead coconut tree with whatever he had for lunch..Tony Blair was hit up for an early down down for not bringing the hash mugs (only 2 weeks into the job and he forgot-terrible) Lewinsky copped a down down for being 2 hours late with the keg. Snake had his share of down downs for not helping certain Hash Meres in distress, as did Pussy Snapper. The med students received a few down downs for their misdemeanors during the run and during the Hash Circle. Poumuli copped a few down downs too for not explaining the rules to the new comers. There was a lot of hand bagging during the awards, with hashers trying to DOB others in for down downs.

Hash went well on into the evening at Matareva, and then migrated to Headquarters where the real alcoholics continued to party on into the wee hours of the morning.

Big thanks again to all the Hashers that turned up for the run at Matareva. Was a great day with some sun, sea, sand, lots of mud and that nectar of life stuff.. Hope you all had a great Fathers Day and see you all at next weeks run at Taumeasina. Remember, next weeks run is on Tuesday to accommodate the Australian Navy Crew.

Dedicated Hashers Clean the BBQ

Yummy, yummy, yummy! Delta and Kara show their true Hash spirit cleaning the Hash BBQ. You can check out these photos and more using the Hash Photo Albums link under Help (see the sidebar on the left).

FYI: For those having a fit right now, relax. The BBQ is water-blasted then super-heated before each use.

Hash Run - 11th August 2008

Mahalo Apia Hashers,

This week's Fathers Day Run will be at Matareva Beach on the South Coast of Upolu. This should be an interesting run as there aren't too many roads, but lots of bush..err, for all those dodgy hasher's who like the jungle runs.

This is going to be a BYO Drinks and Food. So basically bring your Booze of your choice, and something to throw on the BBQ.

Directions: Go over the Cross Island Road and turn right when you reach Siumu, drive for about 20 - 30 mins (depending on how fast/slow you drive) and when you reach a Village called Matautu, Look out on the left hand side for the sign to Matareva Beach. Pay your $15 / $20 tala (depending on vehicle- best if you all car pool) and drive down to the beach. Map is also below...Don't forget your swimmers and see you all there!

REMEMBER, RUN STARTS AT 2PM
For those beer drinkers, Lewinsky is bringing a Keg. Pay him $15 (separate to hash cash) and you can drink from his keg instead.

Hash Run August 4th 2008

Big Thanks to Poumuli and Pussy Snapper for yesterday excellent run. Attached is a picture of yesterdays run for those of you who are interested in finding out where you ended up. Stay tunned to the blog for this coming Father's Day run at Matareva.

Hash Trash 28/07/2008

HASH

RUN 14XX commenced from Lezzie’s Home, behind Hotel Millenia, Sogi. Lezzie has been MIA for a while since he finally took up serious work rather than playing the playboy. LOL. His co-host ACDC was spotted returning on the back of Pat’s (Lezzie’s bro) flashy wheels, supposedly having set the run, chasing Pat. Yeah right!!! He hadn’t even broken sweat when he returned to base prior to the start of the trot.

The trot started off where some of the meres were overheard to whine about the cold temperatures…. Yeah, 27 degrees Celcius!!! thanks to a stiff breeze blowing which would have been better suited for sailing. Trot was led by ACDC who encouraged the runners to take the long route with the “walkers and handicapped” taking the cleaner town route. Godfather was the unusual figure spotted walking with the latter group. Godfather, the true hasher that he is, decided to invest in some new boots and ignore the specialist’s advice not to run any more. You go Godfather!!! That’s the spirit!! Sassy caught up with the handicapped and aged group and helped Godfather spot the trail.

The trot returned to base to the sound of the Gypsy Pickers, courtesy of the Hamilton Boys High, who were on island a couple of weeks prior to entertain and perform at the Music for Life fundraising event plus other gigs around the country.

No un-towards behaviour was spotted during the run. The only amazing thing was that on arrival there was twice the number of people at the base compared to those that set out.

During the ON-ONs, it was discovered that some new boots from Great mother England had just arrived on island and decided to join the AHHH. Obviously, the good times experienced by previous intakes of Medical students has traveled to the nation of the stiff upper lips. Welcome new meres and hashmen from the old motherland. No doubt ACDC will be busy playing tour guide extraordinare besides many other things.

The new GM, Eveready got the proceedings underway promptly and when he pulled out his diary, there were giggles from some of the die hard hashers as the new GM resembled a new reverend with his diary of dirt on some of the hashers. A momentary pause after Lezzie turned off some lights hoping for a romantic hash circle. Sorry Lezzie, GM couldn’t see his sermon..LOL. Back on with the lights….

GM acknowledged the previous Mismanagement for a great job done for the past two and a half years. Shafter as ex GM wasn’t in the house, so SassygirlBJ, Mr. Whippy and XXX took a final down down as part of the outgoing Mismanagement.

Kuini was pulled up for entertaining the whole Niue 7’s Rugby Team the previous Saturday. According to Delicious who enlightened on other details, Kuini had also just turned 21 years, got divorced, is now single again, and one of the Niuean players who was quite smitten with this luscious hash mere, did a strip tease at one of the establishments in Apia. Delicious was then requested to keep the rest of the details to herself.

Welcome back to the Retreads, Tony Blair and Selena who been gallivanting around the globe. Tony B and Selena were also penalized for not responding to an email from the GM checking up on how they were during their travels. DUHHH!!! They were on holidays, according to TB.

SassygirlBJ nominated Mr. Whippy and Son of the Bitch for a fantastic revamp of the new Hash Blog www.apiahash.blogspot.com all are encouraged to visit the site which lists all the info about upcoming hashes, hash trash, maps (very sophisticated) and news about Samoa. Do write in your comments for goodness sake!!!

The GM then announced the rest of his new Mismanagement:

Brewmaster: Karaeoke, Hash Cash: Fang, Haberdasher: Under-rated, Hare-raiser: Snake, and Tony Blair, after being told to raise his hand, was instructed that he is the new Hash Mugs. SOTB and Mr. Whippy to continue with Administration of the Hash blog, SassygirlBJ and SOTB to Co-Scribe.

Under-rated was given an under-sized t-shirt for his 150^th run.

Finally, there being no other nominations from the floor, it was the turn of the Co-Hosts and Hare, Lezzie, ACDC and FBI who reluctantly took his down down as his name had not been included as Hosts for today’s run.

Snake recommended that the first Monday of each month will be a BYO bbq stuff/salad irregardless of who is hosting. Exception of course is if someone is celebrating a birthday, wedding anniversary, divorce or whatever and chooses to host the food as well.

Lezzie, as usual wanted to do a nomination after all the awards. Well done Lezzie, for not listening, as usual.

An excellent spread was put on for all and sunder to enjoy.

Next week’s run will be hosted by Poumuli and Paul from Vaoala. Check the blog for the map, especially for the newbie’s.

Mahalo all folks

Today's Run will be fron the STA Fale behind the main Info Fale. This is a BYO BBQ and if there are some meres who can help with a couple of green salads, pls dont be shy.

We're very sad to see Flash Gordon aka Marcus Berking depart our shores to further his flying career downunder and heaven knows where he will end up after....most likely chasing some blonde bombshells in Europe or Dubai!!!! LOL.

So do come down and lets enjoy a good trot and a bbq and go from there.....yes Lewinsky, there will be a keg....

Hash Run - June 16th 2008

G'Day hashers,

Todays run will be from Headquarters Number 1 (On the Rocks) I wont bother posting a map, as we all know where that is. And for those of you who don't, go down town to where the Pubs are.
No one offered to host the run tonight so we have to do a town trot which is just as well as Lewinsky needs a few down downs.

See you all there tonight. Could be a set run, or it could be a live run...and just so you can have a laugh, I've copied in a joke below...

Yesterday I answered a knock on the door, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners." "Go away!" I said. "I haven't got any money!", "I'm broke!" and proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto my hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Sir, I will personally eat the remainder." I stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a fucking good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning.

Howdy Do Hashers,

Todays run will be hosted by Ring Ring and Insecurity at their home in Alafua. Please make an effort to be there on time. I'm sure we will be running into the wilderness at some stage of the run and we don't want to lose any Hashers in the bush although I am sure that there are some that wouldn't mind that.

Directions are head up towards USP Alafua, on the left side, look for the SouthPac Rentals Sign, under a BIG tree, and there should be some hash paper. For those of you who don"t know how to follow directions, the map is below.
See you all tonight

Message from homesick - Springbok

Hello Sassy Girl,

You have perhaps been wondering what has happened to me? well, it has taken some time to try and settle down back herein S.Africa. Although my body is here, my mind is still far far away in Samoa!! especially on Mondays!! I always think back to the wonderful Hash runs and great fellowship.I am attaching a couple of fotos for your records.... my christening was for me a memorable occasion!!! especially all the down downs !!!I have made contact with a Hash group here in Pretoria, called the Jacaranda Hash house. They run on Saterday afternoon andI will be joining them this Saterday at 2pm.I believe Vanessa has been attending Hash, I am so pleased as she needs a change of scenery.How are your arrangements going for the Big Event Jazz & Hash in a few weeks time? Wish I could be there, but alas, finances donot permit me to go away again. I will have to be there in Spirit.Keep me informed of any interesting happenings,Look forward to hearing from you and please convey my very best wishes to all the "Hashers"

Love and good memories from Alice aka "Springbok"

Dear Springbok, we do miss you as well and you would be very proud that "Offspring" has reaaallly taken on the hash ideals.....instead of just discovering the ocean fauna, she is now right into the land fauna as well... bit safer me thinks!!!LOL. We're plodding along with the preparations and as usual Samoan style, no doubt everything will come together closer to the day...nothing like a bit of pressure to bring out the best in our folks.

Take good care and stay in touch with the goings on at the Jacaranda Club. Hope we get to meet up with some of them here in paradise!!!

Hash Run for 26th May 2008

Hello fellow hashers, Todays run will be hosted by Snake and Fang at Vaitele, behind Charlies Bakery. Make an effort to come and get some exercise, lifting those down downs..and on the run of course. Please try and be early as this should prove to be another "famous" snake run, and we want to start on time as it is now getting dark quite early...
Heres the Map for those of you who still don't know where to go.

Hash Run for 19th May 2008

Mahalo,

Hash Run tonight will be at Selena and Tony Blair's Premises, yes, the one with the pool where so many dodgy things have happened over the past few runs there. Please be on time as it now gets dark quite early in the day so we would like to start at 5.30 sharp! Last thing we need is for some hashers to get lost in the bush
Don't forget your togs/swimmers..this always proves to be a great run and a good time afterwards.

Hash Map for Monday, 19 MAY 2008

Prepare yourselves for another great run at Tony Blair's tonight. This is a fantastic location, located on Papasea Road (see attached map) with the Faleata Sports complex and golf course nearby - sure ingredients for a great hash trail. Also, bring your swimming gear or risk the proven dangers of drinking with your Hash mates next to a beautiful pool. See you tonight!

Hash Map for Monday, 12 MAY 2008

Hey you wild Hashers, get your kiesters up to Crown of Thorns in Vaoala for a great holiday Hash. Contrary to popular belief, Hash will be held in full force, at the same time 5:30 with keg and all. Please join us for another fun run, followed by some cold beer and good company. The location is literally across the street from the Hash we had a few weeks back. For you ol’ time hashers, it’s in the same compound as Tramp’s and Einstein’s (see the map for details). See you tonight, On on.

Hash Map for Monday 5 May 2008

Today promises to be another great run. Come and enjoy the burgers, beer, and oh yeah... the run!

Hash Run 1410 28th April 2008

Mahalo Hashers,

Hash Blog site has been pretty quiet this month, so its time to get things up and running again. For all you retreads, its time to head down for a little run/walk/crawl...And please try and be there on time..Don't forget your swimmers either, you can go and cool down in the ocean after the run.

This Monday's hash run is being hosted by baby Jasmine,(the new addition to the hash family) down at Taumeasina- POD and Lewinsky's home. This is going to be a big one, so please make an effort to wipe the cob webs off those shoes and come down for a run.

A message for Marry & Landy aka Many & Larry from Down Under

Below find email from Larry and Mandy....obviously someone had imbibed far too much of the nectar of the Gods and called the Down Under Pair as Landy and Marry.... I guess better than Randy Mandy..lol

Well Sassy girl, unfortunately we couldn't stay in Samoa as we'd planned this time. Larry was just getting sicker and things just didn't work out for us. But we love Samoa and one day it could happen for us. Just the way of Samoa and the people that live there you would be hard pressed not to love the place and we will be back. We'd like to thank you and all the hashers for making us feel so warmly welcome. At the 1400th run it was said that the club would be lost without Snake & Fang and we totally agree. We appreciated Snake's generous offers of assistance and friendship and their invitations to spend time with them, but we were unfortunately unable to accept as Larry was too ill to go out.

We'll miss the outrageous fun of Monday nights, with AC/DC's antics on the run and afterwards at the bbq - who called the cook a bastard? - who called the bastard a cook? And the GM keeping everybody honest, Godfather strumming away and the beautiful Vailima beer. Anyway, don't want to get too soppy - you pisspots might think we miss you, with Larry now starting to get better and wondering what the f... we're doing back in Australia. Hope we all cross paths again one day, you're a great bunch.

Kind regards

Mandy & Larry

PS. He's has got he sweetest nuts on the island ...... on on

I guess this is in reference to Godfather's Nuts LOL

1400th RUN & BASH

Malo Hashers

For your information if you haven't seen today's paper. Our 1400th run this evening will be at the ACP Compound Vaitele.

I assume you are aware of the Airport Road. If you are in town take the airport road down, just go passed the Samoa Breweries/vailima Breweries, pass the Yazaki boath roads on the left then start looking for the ACP sign on your right.

Turn in the main gate and keep going down to the seaside. Ask someone inside to direct you to where the hash is

RUN 1399 - NEVEREADY & KARAEOKE

Hi all

4th Feb Run 1399 will be from Neveready and Karaeoke's home at Lotopa, behind Adria's Cakes. For the newbies, head west from town, past the Mormon Temple, take a left just before the Blue roofed village and keep an eye on the left side of the road...for the shopping centre... and Adria's Cakes. Turn left after the complex and head to the end of the access road.

I believe this will co-incide with Neveready's 45th birthday!!!! So all those old hashers who haven't put on their boots for a while, i dare you all to tie on those old boots and come a runnin' with us tomorrow.

Thanks Fang and Snake for last week's Run and tasty bbq...must note that since BB has been overseeing the cooking, the tucker has turned out pretty good unlike the burnt offerings that were accustomed to...LOL

Following week on the 11th Feb will be the big 1400 Run. Godfather has requested a special occassion to mark this Run. This brings Hash to more than 27 and a half years since its inception and the first run made. We will revert with confirmed venue etc., Please pass this info onto the oldies and crumpy ones to join hash to celebrate this biggie.

See you all tomorrow

Run ??? 28 January 2008

Talofa All

The love-birds Snake & Fang have kindly offered to host next Monday's run from Vaitele. We will confirm by Monday whether its from Apia Concrete Product (ACP) Compound or Charlie's Bakery, opposite the Vailima Breweries.

It would be fantastic if you can all let us know if you're participating for catering purposes. If we have a poor response then rest assured there will be no keg!!!!

Godfather has promised he will be there as well.....yeah WITH NUTS!

Run ??? last night 21st Jan-Over-rated and Xrated

Talofa all

The hashers were left wondering yesterday evening why it is that every time Under-rated and Xrated host a run, it's always raining or a Tropical Cylcone is threatening to hit. Some TCs are nature's wake-up calls whilst others are man-made. Scribe has overheard many a hashman compare their wives or partners coming to a TC.... and no that is not tender loving care dear..LOL

I am happy to report that all the hashers returned intact after Hoppy lost his footing whilst crossing the river up to his thighs and was almost swept away in the raging waters. One would bloody well think after last week's scribe's comment that the run wouldn't be crossing no damn rivers....but no!!!, Kiwi, who is sure-footed like a llama in the mountains forgets that there are some old....ooops did i say that...not everyone is as fit and agile as he is..... i daresay, Snake might fancy himself being one agile young lad after spending all week in bed (re-kindling the spirit??) since the departure of his kids to NZ.... Kiwi was duly punished for this. Another new hasher, hailing from Great Britain by way of PNG also ended up chariot riding home when he was lost. Ouch, "Unfrocked" "Defrocked" whatever aka Michael Askwith was the silly bastard that didnt "on back, " either he was deaf or Transporter and Ryder let him get away on purpose so they could visit the bushes at Faleata. Heard these two had an almighty fine time in American Samoa. Funnily enough they're the first two people who have spoken fondly of the eastern rock in many a centuries.....well, unless youre a wannabe fish cannery worker from this side of the pond. GM suggested that we forewarn the ex AHHH GM, Tallyho in Fiji to look out for this country man of his and ensure he is not lost along the way.

Several turned up despite the poor response rate to SassygirlBj's email to advise numbers for catering purposes. As a result, the keg was replaced with green bottles instead. GM Shafter pointed out this being the reason he wasn't drinking beer.....o geez, and my h.....oids bleed for thee!!!! LOL...Shafter took a down down never-the-less for his part in the decision to go with bottles. One good thing that came out of this was the crazy lot broke up early too. Need we talk about the food.... Xrated's chicken curry, roti and salads were just heavenly, as always, and the "mamoe" and bangers were cooked to perfection-did this have anything to do with BB overseeing the cooking team. You go girl!!!ok, thanks to the hashmen, Kiwi, Underrated, Son of the Bitch, Flash Gordon, ACDC and Lezzie for cooking, as always-they try very hard to avoid the down downs. 2008 is the year of the wimpy hashmen!!!! Cant handle their down downs, however, this could be just withdrawal symptons and may come good later on in the year as they get a bit more practice.

New Boot was all the way from South Africa, and mother to Vanessa of Liquidmotion Diving at Sinalei Reef Resort.

Retreads, were Transporter, Ryder, Ring ring and Sally.

SassygirlBJ, was penalised for turning up in rather unhash-like fashion, miniskirt and looking all corporate. puhleeasse!

Lewinsky managed to hold down his one down down for giving the GM the fingers...LOL!!

Snake and Fang were penalised for spending all week in bed since Venom and Snakebite left Samoa. According to Snake they were trying to figure out how to make babies. Dear, let us know if you need some instructions. Always glad to assist or demonstrate.

ACDC was named the Baywatch Babe for rescuing some drunken idiot from drowning at Lalomanu beach. According to BB, ACDC was lucky to be with us as he almost drowned during the rescue. Well done ACDC.

Thanks Underrated, Xrated, Isaac, Samina and the helpers Vanessa and Ringring!!

Well, that is all folks-we do not have a host for next week's run-so if your ears are burning and feel the urge, let me know, preferrably this week.

Renamed "Never-ready", Karaoke and Delicious have offered to host the Run on the 4th Feb. This is Neverready's 45th - what a spring chicken.

HEY!!! Get your kiester to Hash. Please inform Sassy pronto of your intent so that a nice plate of catered food will be waiting for you.

21 January 2008 Run #???

Talofa All
Well, last week's Run at Mr. Whippy was a hot and spicy one!!! I can just see your minds kicking into overdrive :-))) you dirty buggers!!

There was confusion as to what Run Number last week's run was suppose to be, hence the writer can't tell you what the heck next week's run number is.....Delicious should get a few down downs for this. The GM is just as confused as the scribe..... and the two darlings are coming of age and have enough problems remembering their names sometimes...especially after a heavy nite on the nectar!!

Despite the shitty weather, there was a very good turn-up to welcome Mr. Whippy's parents and family and sadly to farewell Snakebite and Venom who have been banished to NZ to attend school as Snake and Fang are keen re-kindle their sex life again....ROFL.

The run was uneventful, besides dodging puddles and almost getting brained by passing vehicles, it was a good workout. Thank goodness Mr. Whippy opted to fore-go the river crossings as it was deemed a bit too bloody dangerous. I daresay, in the case of hashers like Sassygirl who swims like a concrete block, that would be terminal.

For the first time in a very long long time, a mere actually completed the run well ahead of the hashmen.....WELL DONE BB!! BB confirmed that she needed better support as her sports bra wasn't doing what its suppose to do. If you know of any goodies that will solve BB's problem, do share it with us. We meres with a bit more than a mouthful share the same sentiments.

Noted FBI and Lezzy struggling to keep up with the front pack. After their sojourne in NZ for Archery and goodness knows what else these two got up to, they come back worse for wear and a tad over-weight.

Mr. Whippy and Mrs Whippy kept the hoootttt and spicy salsa coming-holy shite was that hot or what!!! Several meres broke out more sweat than the power-walk earlier.Thank goodness for Karaeoke's yummy choc cookies which helped to calm the heat down, some. Lewinsky was overheard saying that this is the most spice he will have or see for a while as he awaits the arrival of the first of what is believed to be a rugby team. POD is now safely in NZ growing fatter by the day!!!

The evening's procedure went along swimmingly well with poor SassygirlBJ having about 8 downdowns!. Impressive considering Lewinsky and Lezzie kept throwing up after one each.

Marion (Canadian-we wont hold that against her) was finally named - after many outrageous suggestions, Mismanagement settled on "Walking Eagle" heh heh heh!! we all know what that means. For those who dont, tough!! Come to hash and ask!!!

Eveready was given a temporary re-naming for his either poor performance or was it lack of performance.....can't remember too well at this stage.... sadly, he is now "Never-ready"
Never mind Never-ready, you should take this as a challenge!!

Snake lost the plot and referred to Mr Whippy by his real name and ended up with a down down instead of finishing whatever forgettable story he was on about.

Mr. Whippy's cousin John Lemaota, got some of the meres heart's skipping a beat until they found out he was already well and truly secured by a Cook Island beauty...ouch!!!

Much laughter was shared as the meres discussed the Circus in town. SassygirlBJ ranted on and on about some of the acts, especially the actors.....they were cute and looked might hot!! This convinced the rest of the meres to make a date with the circus!!! Warning-take plenty of tissues to wipe saliva off chin!!! LOL

NEXT WEEK'S RUN # whatever WILL BE HOSTED BY UNDER-RATED, XRATED AND SOON TO BE NAMED OVER-RATED??? LOL FROM THEIR HOME AT LOTOPA, JUST A FEW METRES PAST THE ENTRANCE TO MR. WHIPPY'S HOME - SO REFER TO THE PREVIOUS MAP. ENTRANCE ON THE LEFT TO THE COMPOUND JUST BEFORE THE RLS PRIMARY SCHOOL.

Hash Map for Monday, 14 JAN 2008

That’s right. The Whippy family will be hosting Hash this Monday. See all the great details in Sassy’s post below.

Please come out and join us for another great Hash. Rain or shine, it should be a fun Hash for all. There’ll be a tent to keep everyone dry. Just bring a towel and extra T-shirt, and prepare to enjoy a healthy run, followed by ice cold drinks, good company, and yummy BBQ.

Mr. and Mrs. Whippy.

MR WHIPPY & CLAN TO HOST RUN 1396

Talofa all you darling hashers of the AHHH and any visiting hasher from around the globe.

Next Monday, 14th January will see the AHHH convene at Mr. Whippy's Home at Lotopa to meet his parents and extended aiga from the US. This run was a special request from Mom prior to hitting the home shores. Furthermore, Mrs. Whippy will just have to join in then.LOL!!

We're also very sad to say that this will be the last run for Rainbow Warrior (Fabien Chauvet) who will depart for colder climes to continue with his diving training, I think its underwater demolition ???? Well how appropriate is his name...LOL... Ann will stay on for a few more months to finish her contract and join him later on.

I have been threatened by some Retreads to join us on Monday, and lo and behold, with NEW BOOTS as well!!! Unless anyone is into getting the trots and goodness knows what other diseases, one would be well advised to keep those new shoes in the box till fair weather. Just a reminder, Mr. Whippy lives close to a number of rivers and right now theyre flowing at capacity and looking like chocolate. I dare you to break out those shiny new boots!!!!LOL.

Samoa was graced by the passing visit of Pharlap - unfortunately only for a couple of days, which did not co-incide with a hash run. Could this have been done on purpose Pharlap?

SassygirlBJ is disappointed that Pharlap didn't have the decency to stop by and pow wow with Florence and the superwitch.

Welcome back Godfather. Great catching up with you and looking forward to seeing you next Monday with the ukulele. O and just a word of warning, DONT FORGET THE NUTS....there's talk of renaming Godfather....something to do with not having nuts!!!! OUCH.

We will put on a keg, AGAIN, so there had better be enough people to drink this. Flo has confirmed she will be there to deal with the other half of the keg...thank goodness for the meres!!

Stay safe all and try not to fall comatose in a puddle-dont care how strong you are or whether you can swim 5 miles with an esky like Lewinsky and Thorpedo, a few inches of puddle water will do you in.

ONON

14th January Run 1396

Talofa all meres and hashmen!!! Last night saw a minimal turnout at Elava Resort at Vaitele-uta. It was so small we can actually list the faithful who attended: Shafter (GM), SassygirlBJ, Son of the THE Bitch (SOTB), Underrated & Isaac, Snake, Fang, Venom & Snakebite, Kiwi, Delicious and the fitter version of Lewinsky. The host, "Rambo" (Eti Laulala) finally turned up later due to work commitments. The group enjoyed a bbq under the stars surrounded by lush and beautiful gardens-one could be excused for being in an oasis!!! The small gathering looked at each other and stared at the 50 liter keg dreading the down downs that will likely come. Delicious, SOTB and Sassygirl all swore they were detoxing and did not want to drink....well not beer anyway. An honest attempt was made by those present and finally agreed there was no damn way the keg could be finished. It was unanimously agreed that Lewinsky take it to Headquarters for on-selling and raise a credit for AHHH worth of a quarter keg.

Next week's 14th Jan- run will be hosted by Mr. Whippy and his family from their home at Lotopa. Mr. Whippy's mum will arrive tomorrow (Wed) morning and has specifically asked to host next week's run. So Mr. Whippy get that map up for those who dont know where to go.

Furthermore can we have an indication of numbers so we do not have a repeat of last evening-and just stick to a few cases of the nectar.

ONON

First Run for 2008 - 07th January 2008

Happy 2008 Hashers

Please be advised that our Hash Run tonite 7th January will be hosted by Eti and Avarua Laulala at Elava Resort @ Vaitele.

Take the airport road from Apia to airport. Turn in at the Yazaki Road then left at Poumuli Road, you won't miss it.

Cheers and see you all

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU HASHMEN & MERES AROUND THE WORLD!

We trust that you have fully recovered now, especially the hashers in Samoa, being the last ones to celebrate the New Year. (now that may be a surprise to most people-but rest assured we are a day behind and the last time zone to celebrate or opine any world shattering events!!!! thank goodness we're pretty savvy this end of the planet and not too far behind the so-called developed & civilised countries????!!!)

Lets hope this year is a bit kinder to our lungs, livers, knees and artificial limps so we can continue to enjoy our hashes and drink more to support the breweries and all the other poor beverage companies!!!LOL!! who need more billions so their bosses can enjoy first class holidays and goodness what else!

Apia Hash House Harriers are planning a Regional Hash to co-incide with the Jazz Festival in July. (Note to myself: Regional Hash in Apia-early July 2008-make sure i book early and use the Samoa Hotel Association site to make reservations. www.samoa-hotels.ws SassygirlBJ and Flo both work with SHA and may be able to help...LOL) So go ahead and reserve the first two weeks in July to visit beautiful Samoa-check out the sites-enjoy a beerfest-discover the lush and bountiful lands, the only genuine polynesian people and their living culture, the pristine environment, o yeah and to meet some really fantastic and friendly hashers!!! Go on, I dare you to come join us!!!

For upcoming Runs: Need hosts for 7th, 21st and 28th Jan.

14th Jan 2008 will be hosted by Mr. Whippy, Louisa and Mum who has booked well in advance for the hashers to convene at her home. Thanks Mum!!! What a sport!!

So those hashers who feel up to it-let us know if you can host a run or not. You are in no way obliged to put up kaikai etc., If you can provide a venue - that will suffice and we can have a BYO BBQ.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AGAIN AND BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER
