Circle Report - Run 1824
Hinhede Walk (Southaven II)
Shoe Shopper and Peep Show (Virgin Hare)

The Run
Another intimate group assembled this week around the BBQ pits at ShoeShopper’s condo. After a short committee meeting the pack headed off around 6:05, out the side gate and straight to a T-check. Somehow Tiger Lilly already knew about this check and how to solve it, and “hared” on leaving the walkers to follow her while the front runners were on a futile check. Sadly, that’s about as good as it got with the familiar refrain of “looking” being heard only a minute or so later. Over the railway line and into the reserve, the hares then fooled us by going the opposite direction from usual and off we were for a pleasant jaunt around the reserve. Back in around 1:05, a very nice run.
Circle Report
After a very pleasant swim, thanks hares, we formed a small and nervous circle around the BBQ pits. Nervous because we weren’t really sure how loud we could sing with the neighbours listening attentively.
What did we think of the run?
Good run was whispered, well done to the virgin hare and the not so virgin hare.
Next Week’s Run:
Yankees go home, oops I mean American Independence Day Run, Upper Seletar Reservoir Track 7, by Slim and Big Head. Bring your wet suit, gum boots, salmon waders etc.
Returnees:
King Lear and Knobby Boy Scout. Welcome again boys.
Lipstick:
Sneaky Comer had a very good evening guessing the checks, which put him in serious trouble as a front running man. So Goody Bag proceeded to apply the lipstick in the time honoured fashion. So an editorial note here for the committee: 1. Having Goody Bag apply lipstick really isn’t much of a disincentive, and 2. Don’t you want us to check? OK, we won’t then.
The Dick:
Dances with Kerbs has a few candidates:
* Sneaky Comer for front running or being too sneaky, whatever.
* Knobby Boy Scout who asked for the dick, for whatever reason.
Congratulations KBS, you get the Dick.
The Tits:
Proudly brandishing his enormous tits, Kannot Kan was greeted immediately by “keep the tits”. Thanks Kamala, but perhaps he should at least be allowed to attempt a charge. Anyway he has a few candidates for this award, who are: Comes Quietly, who was asked how many checks he broke? One, was the answer. Well why didn’t you call for a woman then rather than heading off into the sunset? Handbag had been planning to have a swim after the run. Kannot Kan was looking for a swimming companion for a little splash but apparently Handbag lost his nerve. Runs with Dogs was also interested in swimming, giving all the impression he was about to swan dive into the pool. Apparently this fooled Kannot Kan in some way but I am a little lost. By quiet acclamation Handbag gets the tits, which will no doubt get some good use.
Any Other Business
Jackoff has just returned from Italy and wanted to be sure everyone knew it, the lucky so and so. Before leaving, Kan the Kobra had asked Jackoff to get her “something naughty”. Kan the Kobra was presented with a hash brew apron depicting the birth of the Venus. Very nice.
Blood Shit is impressed with the catering arrangements for the evening. Calling in ShoeShopper, he asks where the chef is from? France? No, it’s Croc Hunter from the wilds of Singapore.
While Shoe Shopper is completing her down down, Slocum rushes in. He is also keen to spread the word of his Italian adventure. Talking about it with Shoe Shopper, he had told her they had a great time in Tuscany. To which Shoe Shopper replies, “oh, how was France”. I hope she doesn’t teach Geography, give her a note.
Probably to pre-empt further charges, Shoe Shopper asks Comes Quietly in. Where does Comes Quietly live? Southaven II is the whispered answer. So why, SS wants to know, did you pack your hash bag, take it all the way to work, and then bring it all the way back home again? Despite a good answer (“because this is Wednesday and you have to be prepared for a last minute change of location”) he still gets a drink.
Enough of this charging other people, Slocum thinks. Shoe Shopper gets another drink for losing her own trail while sweeping.
Handbag noticed a grevious breach of rules on the run (not that there are any rules). Shame on you Runs with Dogs for discarding an empty water bottle on trail.
Sneaky Comers wants to see Pants Alone. Tonight is Pants Alone’s last run with Singapore Harriets, she will shortly be causing a riot (except when writing reports) on the Ho Chi Minh City Hash. We have a few items to farewell her:
- Pants Alone is a well known man magnet. She invited Sneaky Comer and Handbag to the hash, in Sneaky’s case it took quite a bit of effort, like a weekly email for 6 months before he succumbed. So Pants Alone gets a Singapore Girl fridge magnet so she can continue the tradition.
- Sometimes she disappears from the hash for weeks at a time, and the secret is that she is busy writing her school reports. It seems to take so long that surely she has run out of ink in her pen by now…so she gets a new Singapore pen.
- PA got her name by leaving her pants in Comes Alone’s car (yet another sign of that man magnet behavior)? Hoping for a lift in morals in Vietnam, she gets a Singapore Girl shirt to leave behind in HCM.
- Vietnam probably doesn’t have TV, so Pants Alone will miss watching her beloved All Blacks (New Zealand Rugby team for those peasants who don’t understand). So she gets a Daniel Carter bottle opener to remind her and also allow her to drown her sorrows.
Goody Bag notices a few people not in Hash shirts, including Kamala, Runs with Dogs, and one of our guests.
Jackoff is prompted to ask Runs with Dogs who invited him to the hash? Zipp is identified as the culprit. “So, Runs with Dogs, what did she tell you about the hash?” The answer is that his instruction was pretty limited, only being told not to run in front. That would explain his bad behavior tonight, including throwing rubbish, not wearing a hash shirt, and cutting in front of Jackoff in the line to get a shower. Regardless of limited instruction, Runs with Dogs gets the song. “He’s the meanest….”
Hand Bag is, indeed, a Pants Alone recruit. But it only took one email to encourage him to come, why did Sneaky Comer come so slowly? Give him a note.
Kannot Khan is intrigued that Runs with Dogs has no hash shirt. Seeking volunteers, he gets Goody Bag and Suzee Wong to take Runs with Dogs’ shirt off. It turns out that RWD has tattoos! So to avoid future charges, Kannot Kan suggests that RWD could get a Harriets tattoo. What should that be, he asks? Shoe Shopper suggests a naked body (his, presumably). Jackoff suggests the logo could fit somewhere. Zipp suggests a zipp, either above or below the navel. After all this, someone got charged, I suspect it was Runs with Dogs. Zipp has a grudge. Runs with Dogs would know the rules if the On-sec had given him a handbook when he joined! Give Jackoff a note.
Shoe Shopper has a question for Zipp. At the end of the run, Zipp had commented that it “was a very good run”. “Oh, which bit did you like”? asks SS. Answer, the out trail and the in trail!
Kamala also has a complaint for Zipp. Zipp has promised to bring a man for Kamala. “Is he married?” Yes, but he never brings his wife. “Does he have hair?” A bit. “What is his body like?”. Umm, its ok. “Does he have tattoos”? No. So somehow or other this makes Blood Shit jealous. Give Zipp a note.
On On to Che Croc Hunter (and Shoe Shopper and Peep Show) fabulous BBQ on site.
