Circle Report - Run 1861
Not Good Enough and Give Way Run
@ Telok Blangah
The Run.
A wet gloomy afternoon did not dampen the spirits of those that turned up, because this is Wednesday, hump day, and this is the Harriet�s. Yay for the Harriet�s!! The Hares � wait on, make that singular, - The Hare tells us that there is a bit of chalk and a bit of flour, so that�s good enough for us, but perhaps Not Good Enough for the Hare! The pack headed off into the distance, while Sneaky Comer and I lurked at the back, unselfishly remarking the trail for any late comers. A nice scenic loop around the top of Telok Blangah then onto the wave bridge and some nice trail running. Eventually we came down to ground level, which meant only one thing. At some stage we had to climb up again somewhere in order to reach home. A comforting thought! Through the back of the Handlebar, giving the one finger salute to the restaurant that banned us from using it�s car park for a run site, it was then down into the drain, but not before a close encounter with red ants. At this stage, we were rewarded for our diligent chalk marking, as the late comers, led by Mr. Potato Head, caught up to us. Emerging from the drain onto the open field, the Hare had very thoughtfully placed trail around the archery enclosure and not through it. Down the hill into the HDB�s, trail was a bit difficult to see. While standing around pondering and scratching our heads, a voice from above could be heard. �Go that way, go that way.� Was it the Almighty giving a flock of his loyal servants a sign? Daring to glance skywards to get a glimpse of Him, we saw instead a naked from the waist up uncle leaning out of his 5th floor window excitedly pointing and shouting which way to go to us. Thanks uncle, and off we went. Through a HDB coffee shop, much to the amusement of the patrons, but there is every chance that coffee shops will be introducing speed limits and installing speed humps after that effort! Give Way!!! It was then time to hit the roads and finally it was the long and windy road up the hill back to the car park. Half way up, a rainbow could be seen shining in the misty sky. And what was the pot of gold waiting for us at the end of the Rainbow? The beer van of course! Well done Hare(s?). It actually was Good Enough.
Circle Report:
The GM is in her running clothes and appears to be quite coherent tonight!
What did we think of the Run?
More hills, not enough ants, more Heartland aunties and uncles to direct us! In other words, �Good Run!�
On On:
On site Indian Deli, the usual Indian stuff and free beer. Free Beer? Bloody good Run!
Next week;
Mandai Track 7, Boo and Give Way, Birthday Run
Visitors / Returnees:
S&M, Malfunktion, Armless, Richard and whoever, sorry I couldn�t keep up.
New members: nah
Virgin;
nah
Lipstick:
No naughty boys tonight. Was that because Goody Bags wasn�t there???
The Tits:
(Tets) Knobby Boy Scout calls in Not Good Enough, the Hare that wasn�t, and Give Way, the Hare who had to do it all. I have a feeling that Give Way ended up with the Tets, but with Knobby Boy Scout do the charges you just never know which way it is going, just like his running.
The Dick:
(Dek) Stiffy comes in with a rolled up umbrella as a substitute Dek because he couldn�t remember where he had put it at home last week. Obviously his memory is fading because he actually gave the Dick away to Singaporn last week, so he spent all that time at home this afternoon searching for a Dick that he didn�t even have! I think Singaporn may have a candidate for this week!
Awards;
50 Runs � Kan Not Can, and he takes his top off to put on the new shirt.
350 Runs � Indecent Exposure. �If you take off your top you will get a divorce.� shouts Armless. Undaunted, she takes her top of anyway. What a good sport!
AOB?
- Jack Off and Slowcum are not dressed the same tonight. What is going on Velcro�s? It seems the Financial Crisis has hit. Jack Off has a top with diamonds on it but Slowcum is too cheap to buy one for himself. Personally, I think he would look much nicer with pearls.
- Octopussy noted that we had a bit of trouble at the start of the run finding trail, and just to confuse things there was a bit of paper in a tree over the fence. Was it trail? Well, the area looked rater dodgy, a very steep incline leading down through some inhospitable bush. No one was really too keen to check it out, much preferring to stay with the safety of the footpath. Eventually it was Stiffy who leaped the fence and checked whatever it was in the trees. �It can�t be trail, it�s way too stiff,� came his observation. Give Stiffy, the stiff expert, a note, and too bad Stiff wasn�t on the run tonight!
- Hooray asks what the average age of the Hash would be? Ancient was the general consensus. But he observed 2 infantile runners playing with water while showering. Come on Malfunktion and Lovena, act your age!!
- Suzee Wong asks what umbrellas are used for. Yes, correct, rain or sun. So when it rained tonight, out came a few umbrellas and one Harriet asked if she could borrow a friend�s. Did she forget to bring hers? No, she doesn�t like to get her umbrella wet! Kan the Cobra, you are a shocker!
- The scribe reminded everyone about the GM not making the run last week, but was rather chirpy when she arrived later for the Circle. So what was the story lah? On leaving work, she got in the cab but had no idea on where to tell t5he driver to go as she had completely forgotten where the run site was! Dial a friend then. But no luck. So what was plan B? Go to the pub and drink for a couple of hours. What, drink alone? No, she took Dances With Kerbs with her as well. They should have gone to the Handlebar and met up with Goody Bags! What a Committee!!
- Stiffy has a bit of a whinge about Armless sitting down, about getting out of the way blah blah, whinge, moan. Not sure what the actual charge was, too much whinging! Just give him a drink to shut him up lah.
- Sneaky Comer mentions some Hashers have appropriate names, such as Comes Quietly, Wet and Wild etc etc So is Stiffy well named, as he had to ask Not Tonight where he had put his Dick? �Excuse me darling, did I leave my Dick with you, I seem to have misplaced it.�
- Suzee Wong observed the Birthday Gal becoming a bit tired from all the festivities at Muddy Murphy�s last Saturday night. She exerted herself so much that she fell asleep in the taxi on the way home. Absolutely no stamina Tiger Lily, hopeless!
- Stiffy actually has a serious charge, no whinging. On March 20, Lion City is holding the �Fag Sucker Memorial Run� which will be a chance to remember our Irish buddy and also raise some money for the Heart Foundation. The famous �County of Cork� T shirt will also be revived. More details to follow, but I can tell you the run will be in the Dempsey area and the On On will be at an Irish establishment not too far away. Run the F**cking Hash.
- At this stage, my notes have become rather hazy, which is probably what I had become myself. There were a number of runners at one stage who ended up down the hill where they should not have been. From my notes, I suspect that the likes of Mr.Potato Head, Hooray, Malfunktion, Loose Change, Sneaky Comer etc were all implicated. But I think the person responsible was none other than Wet Brazilian, which if my memory serves me correctly was a Hash naming. Did someone put something in my beer?
- Shoe Shopper then piped in with what seems some excuse for either getting to the run or time, or for not being led astray down the hill by Wet Brazillian. �I had a good navigator,� she explained.
- Hash Brew is duly charged for not topping up the beers enough. Looking at my notes, which make little sense at this stage, I can�t see any truth in that charge, but anyway, I�ll
- A pair of sunglasses was found tonight. Given the grey wet skies for the entire afternoon, I doubt if anyone is going to be game to own up to the ownership.
�On on on.�
