The Run
It was a sea of red, or should that be a park of red, that set off into the grassland behind the houses for this National Day Run. Well, almost a sea of red, apart from the GM and her husband who were wearing anything but red, along with a Scotsman who turned up late wearing the green Aussie Day shirt. A contingent of sailors also joined us. A few of them arrived a bit after 6, but were eagerly welcomed by the Harriet’s who didn’t seem to mind seamen coming late. One female was actually spotted getting out of a taxi completely surrounded by seamen.
The 1st T Check provided many opportunities to check into the substantial bush land off to the side, but most runners either stood out in the open talking or ran back to the open land towards the canal. Finally some brave soul ventured into the forest and found trail. I have no idea who this was as I was one of the runners searching the vast open land down near the canal, and in fact by the time ‘on on’ was called, I was the other side of the fence on the new path by the canal. Figuring it was easier to keep going up to Lentor Ave, I sprinted the 1 km along the footpath, found where the trail came out, and ran into the forest to find a discrete place to camouflage myself until the pack came along. Sure enough, soon the first woman came along, escorted by a group of males. But wait, this is not Tiger Lily leading the way, it’s Not Tonight. This meant 2 possibilities. Possibility 1 was that Tiger Lily had got lost in the bush at a check. Possibility 2 was that Not Tonight was running faster than Tiger Lily. As I discretely joined on the back of this lead pack, I realized that it was possibility 2. I tell you, Not Tonight was running at a cracking pace, with the men barely able to keep up.
Down the steep dirt embankment onto Lentor, invoking various styles of descent ranging from extreme caution to pure ridiculous. This resulted in seamen flying through the air and being splattered everywhere, causing many runners to end up with their clothing stained as a result of the out of control seamen. Luckily, OnHerEar wasn’t out there, with her tendency for falling there is no telling where she may have been stained due to this wayward seamen incident.
Towards the SLE, Not Tonight decides to let Shoe Shopper take the lead so as not to let her develop a complex. And so it was Shoe Shopper who tested the murky water in the canal under the SLE fly over. Well, it wasn’t so much the depth that was the problem, but the uncertainty of the angle of the side wall. The final result was that Shopper ended up rather wet. Having witnessed this episode, many runners decided not to cross, and we all came to a standstill at a Circle Check.
Eventually it was on over the slip road off the SLE, (or was it the CTE?) where some confusion reigned. Many runners had difficulty finding the slip road trail, while those that did, including Doubleback and Stiffy, came to a halt at a Circle Check. Eventually Doubleback had to live up to her name, and it was on back and over the hill and into the durian trails. The 10 minutes spent at this last Circle Check allowed the front runners to catch up, where had they been?? Check their clothing for stains.
A bit of searching for trail inside this area broke the pack up, and it was Jack Off who emerged first from the bush onto the gravel track. I had been doing a bit of exploring of my own at this stage and managed to emerge from a NewWater pipe just in time to join onto the front bunch. Hoo Ray was last seen being chased along the track by a rogue digger tractor, almost forcing him to take evasive action via the murky drain under the SLE. Luckily the digger ran out of petrol.
Finally, crossing over just before Upper Thompson, it was into a bit more bush before emerging into Springleaf for a down hill road run to the park. Nice run.
What did we think of the run? Confusing! Good run. A confusing good run!
Tell us about your On On. Beng Cheng for Chinese, $12.
Next week’s Hares. Sneaky Comer and Wet N Wild come in, so
we are assured that it will be nowhere near f**king Upper Bukit Rd. Yes,
it’s over at Pasir Ris. Make sure the petrol tank is full.
Virgins: Akita and Anthony come in, but Anthony claims he
has done it once before. Give the confused virgin a note. .
Visitors and returnees: Forced Entry, Stiff, Strapless,
Louise, Cocktail Hooker, Wet Patch, Armless, and others.
The Tits: ‘No Tits’ laments the GM. From the angle where I
was sitting, I would have to disagree with her.
Lipstick: Cock Radio for thinking he was a Harriet and
having a squat in the bushes and for popping out from a NeWater pipe, Wet
Patch and some wayward seamen all received the treatment.
Awards: 650 Runs, Loose Change. I suspect that some
of those ‘runs’ could be categorized as ‘walks’ but who cares, what a great
effort. ‘Off, off,’ is the call and she does. This creates a lot of excited
seamen.
The Dick: ‘No Dick’ says the GM. Well, explain all the
seamen then!
AOB:
- Kamala has noticed that from August 3rd – 9th, Mr. Boo, the almost a good lawyer, is unavailable for appointments after 3pm. Sign on his office door says ‘Gone Hashing.’ Thanks Boo for all the National Day runs this week.
- Hooray points out that the beer garden size umbrella that the beer boys put out on the grass was used as a public toilet. On in Judith, Confucius and Indecent Exposure for squatting indiscretions.
- Shoe Shopper calls in Shaggy Dick 2 and OnHerEar for being swingers. Yes, both were seen playing on the swing in the park.
- Tiger Lily points out that we were asked to wear red and white for the run tonight. Those that didn’t were shamed. However, Bagless the Scot is dragged in for being totally confused by wearing the green Aussie Day singlet.
- Shaggy Dick 2 points out that this is the Harriet’s, and of course it is run by the women. But do they know what’s going on? ‘Where is the attendance list?’ he asked after the run. ‘It’s not here,’ replies both Lethal Weapon and Kan The Cobra. ‘So no one came tonight?’ suggests SD2. (mmm, explain all the seamen then girls –CR) As it turns out, the attendance sheet was there after all, making you wonder if the girls know if they are coming or going.
- Of course it is the National Day Run, so Boo has all the Singaporeans in to take the pledge. Strapless is heard muttering if he can denounce his citizenship, thus causing some doubt over his ability to recite all the lines!
- Boo is confused and asks the sailors for clarification. He calls in a male sailor and asks him if he is a seaman. The answer is yes. He then calls in a female sailor and asks her if she is a seaman. The answer is also yes. This does nothing to help Boo’s confusion, and he walks off shaking his head.
- Sneaky Comer would like to see some extra lines added to the
Singapore pledge. We the citizens of Singapore pledge ourselves to …..
- Use our indicators when turning or changing lanes.
- Not stop at the bottom of escalators to plan our day.
- Discourage taxi drivers from putting their foot on and off the accelerator to see how quickly they can make their passengers vomit. Good charge Sneaky. I’m sure we can add to this over the next few weeks!
- Akita the virgin thanks Father Anus for putting her through the toughest time of her life. Say no more!
- Virginia Slim tells us we have some good Samaritans amongst us. One of our visitors dropped his hand phone on the run, but was able to retrieve it and put it back in his pocket, yes the same pocket with the hole in it that it had just fallen out of. Anyway, he managed to keep it in until it fell out again, this time in the dark and gloom under the SLE. So it was Kan Not Can, Malfunktion and Slim who stopped to put a search and rescue operation into place. Eventually, using some sort of pen light with the power of 0.0135 candle light, the rogue HP was found unharmed and returned to it’s owner. So well done guys, have a beer. As for you Patrick, next time either leave your phone behind or get that hole in your pocket sown up!
- Not Tonight sees a naming opportunity for Patrick, but the decision was no, not tonight.
- Sneaky Comer suggests that next week we all wear a mask over our face when we run. Tiger Lily coughed and spluttered infectious diseases all the way around the run tonight.
- Kamala thanked a male for being a gentleman and helping her, Kan The Cobra and other ladies on the run tonight. Was his name Ooze? Anyway, we males will educate him better next time and he will soon be calling ‘Push the ladies aside.’
- Zipp calls in the Hares for their efforts. Well done Quickie, OnHerEar and Boo. And next week we will return to our normal nastiness to Boo, no more of this nice stuff.
- Kamala tells us what Boo normally says to her on the run ‘Push Kamala aside’ or ‘Need an ugly woman – Kamala.’ But Boo was nice to her tonight. He told her where to take a short cut! But Kamala is upset that Boo has underestimated her running ability!
- Kan Not Can enters a plea for sympathy. He made a recent trip to JB on the weekend to escape Singaporeans and who does he bump into? Kamala! Leave him alone and stop stalking him!
- iger Lily received an email from Dick With Ears, or is that Dog With Ears? Anyway, the mail said that we would like to have a run with the Harriet’s, we are coming to Singapore soon but we can’t tell you when, it’s top secret. Are they working for the CIA?
On that note, it’s On On On!
