RUN NO. 2206 SUBOK 67 - 30 NOV 2010

RUN NO. 2206
DATE: 30 NOV 2010
HARES: SID/GUNG HO/JANE/THELMA
SITE: SUBOK 67
FRONT HORN: RYVITA BACK HORN: SQUEEK

Leaving work I noticed more and more dark clouds building up. Arriving at the site just before the horn went off, I decided not to join the hashers into the jungle, but take a stroll with Eastern Promise, as I had just survived a bad cold.

After not even 5 minutes, the sky opened up and the rain came crushing down on us. I really pitied the hens in the jungle especially the once wearing glasses. Even you wear a cap the glasses fog up after a while and you don’t see a lot.

My co- hare Satu Lagi was telling me later that they couldn’t find the on - paper at 2nd check and all decided to turn around and were out at around 6.30pm. They were crossing a small stream on the way in which turned into a river with the water gushing down on them on the way out. Thank goodness for Ryvita’s long legs to check a shallow crossing for Satu Lagi’s shorter ones.

Good for the hens to carry torchlights, as by this time it was pitch dark.

The hares had a bus organized to pick up all the hashers from the Raddisson Hotel as it was a A to B run, but came back empty.

It was a night of celebrations, as all the hares celebrated special runs, a few down- downs was the reward. Jane after all these years got her hash handle and is now called GI Jane.

The JM’s were telling a few jokes and Melissa got the hashit for not signing out, but as usual she had already dashed off.

The hares sponsored food, too. We enjoyed the fresh spring rolls and pizza early home made christmas puddings with cream and custard - Thanks so much for that.

NEXT RUN: LUCKY GARDENS, Jalan Muara

HARES: SATU LAGI/PEA HEN

RUN NO. 2205 - MATA-MATA 23 NOV 2010

RUN NO. 2205
DATE: 23 NOV 2010
HARES: STPRI GIRLS (Pee Wee/Squeek/Shantal plus Psycho)
SITE: Mata-Mata

Mata-Mata is a beautiful site with magnificent pitcher plants along the trail. As the sun was shedding golden light 41 hens and 5 chicks set off to the sound of Vanessa on front horn. It was a familiar trail with ups and downs and creeks and only two checks so all emerged before dark with Ryvita first out and GI Jane on back horn.

The hen house decreased as numerous hashers flew from the coop because of other commitments, being that time of year when things wind up and wind down simultaneously, like a hash run, but those who remained enjoyed a good shout-up ably conducted by our new JM Dizzy assisted by Psycho. Shantal was down downed as a virgin hare and Jessica Woodward was welcomed back as a returning hasher. Dizzy put on the jester’s hat and told us a joke about M&Ms only melting in a girl’s mouth not in her hand!

The hash- it passed on to Sarong for the ignominious offence of her mobile phone sounding during the shout up. Legally Blonde did a good trade with her gnt bar and the hares provided a delectable “make your own burger” supper. Another run notched up and a pleasant evening was had by all. We look forward to a great year with the new committee bringing their own style to the hen house.

NEXT RUN: SUBOK 67 -- dont forget a torch as its that time of the year when the sun disappears very quickly down the horizon, and more so under the jungle canopy.

The Gambler Hasher

On a warm Brunei evenin' on the side of Jalan Muara,

We met up with the hashers, we were all so keen to run,


So we took up the hash horns and followed the white paper,

'Til we reached the on-on and we heard the others speak



They said, "Hens, keep your heads down, they’re still lookin’ for a JM


And knowin' what that involves, best keep out of sight

So if you don’t mind me saying, those ladies are on a mission

and if you show any weakness they’ll pounce on you tonight"



They handed me a bottle and I drank down every swallow


Then I bummed a cigarette and asked someone for a light


And the night got deathly quiet and our faces lost all expression


They said, "If you're gonna run the hash, girls, you gotta hoe-down tonight!"



You got to know when to sign in, know when to sign out,

Know when to walk the hash, know when to run


You never talk during the on-on, unless you want the hash-it


There'll be time enough for talking, when the meetings done.




Every hasher knows that the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' how to follow paper, and knowing how to drink

'Cause every hen’s a winner and every hash’s a goer

And the best that you can hope for is go another week.


And when the on-on finished, the party, it got started

We farewelled the old, and, welcomed in the new,

And somewhere in the darkeness a tune started playing, 


No, hash-its were awarded, cos we know all the rules:

You got to know when to sign in, know when to sign out,

Know when to walk the hash, know when to run


You never talk during the on-on, unless you want the hash-it


There'll be time enough for talking, when the meetings done.

RUN NO. 2203
DATE: 9 NOVEMBER
SITE: SPG 791 JLN MUARA, KG TANAH JAMBU
HARES: RYVITA/CALL GIRL
FRONT HORN: Dizzy
BACK HORN: Fertile Myrtle

We arrived to a new Morley Movers site to find tent going up and the rain coming down. It was great to see our Bionic Woman – Trailblazer - back safely from Singapore with her shot put winning arm!!

Slowly ladies started to arrive, then shortly after Dizzy as Front Horn honked away and off everyone went. Fertile Myrtle took back horn.

Unfortunately I stayed behind with a bunch of other hashers who found the driving rain enough to drive us under the tent.

But no sooner had the horn sounded and Squeak was back – blood running down leg – close encounter with a drain and the drain won. So after some quick expert medical attention from me she was fighting fit again. More hashers kept arriving but went for a quick wet stroll and back to the protection of the tent.

The hares arrived wondering if they’d need to go in – as it was getting dark fast, raining harder and still 7 odd ladies left in. The tent seemed to offer some shelter but you needed to be able to wade through the waist deep mud that literally sucked you to the ground.

After a while many ladies left for drier places - - as in home - - and eventually our ladies in the jungle made it out. They had made it to second check but the rain was so heavy and it was getting so dark that when they separated to look for the paper they couldn’t hear each other – so extremely excellent decision to turn around and head back out the way they came in. Ladies – Excellent Hashing Skills in wild weather!!!

Out they came – soaked but happy. Most ladies seemed to depart and we were left with a small handful for the shout up. We welcomed back returning hasher Sarah (Velma’s daughter) over from Aussie for a holiday. Great to have you back!! It was a quick shout up and Dizzy gave us a great joke. We decided that everyone was soaked enough without needing hashit.

The hares provided some beautiful yummy tomato soup with aioli and French loaf… it was perfect for the conditions.

Thanks ladies for a great hash and food.

RUN NO. 2202
SITE: SPG 370 JLN MUARA, KG SG TILONG
HARES: MAGIC ROUNDABOUT/GORDON/TRAILBLAZER (in absentee!)

After a weekend full of Halloween celebrations and a merry morning at the Melbourne Cup, I felt a bit slow and sluggish arriving to spg 370 on Tuesday afternoon. A rather big group of hens had gathered at Magic’s house to be set off by front horn Ryvita.

Off we went up and along a very long fence, over some open areas in the baking sun before finally entering the jungle up the top. We didn’t go through the jungle long before we were once again out in the open and arrived to the first check, in the middle of a big swampy area with loads of spooky looking trees.

First check was found by Melissa, and off we went back into the jungle. It was a bit strange because although this was very familiar surroundings, it still wasn’t. So much of our beautiful jungle has been chopped down, it’s really sad.

Second check was found by Virginie at it took us down a big hill and out in some other open mudlands and back into the jungle. A few of the hens by now recognized themselves but still the third check threw us a bit and there was a bit of confusion before that as well was found by Virgine, and we continued out into a moon landscape before hitting the high fence again and trotted away on the home stretch.

It was a great longish 5k+ run and it really made me shake off some of that heavy, sluggy feeling I had had before the start!



Shout-up started and we sang 'Happy Birthday' and toasted to Trailblazer in her absence - hope she get’s well soon! The hashit changed hands and was given out to Christine for having her phone go off. We also had another couple of christenings this week: Fiona was named ‘Gung-ho’ and Wina officially got her hetero-name ‘Psycho’ carried over from the Hetero to the H3 hash as well.

Thank you hares for a great run!
