HARES: Mad Marg/Domestic Goddess/Karin

It was raining. It was wet.

Wearing raincoats. Wearing hats.

Horn a blowing.

Hash starts a walking.

Up the hill. In the rain.

Nice ridge track. In my tummy a pain.

Up ahead GI Jane in sight

Tummy rumbling. What’s for dinner tonight?

Heard the check. Still far away.

Up another hill. Wind blows. Trees sway.

Slippery slopes Sliding Slipping

Falling down I am screaming

Oh Crap and a half

R we almost out? I asked

“I think so” Jane says

“I see the water tower” I say

Where are we I wonder

Why it’s the Subok water tower

It’s an A to B run

Im glad I went in for the fun

On the bus we all go

Steamy bus off to diplo

Raining still clouds are dark

Twas like a walk in the park

Shoutout time hurray

Down down for the hares

Please tell those still at home

That the hash needs another horn

Hash-shit given to MadMarge

For a sign lost in the dark

On On but before you go

Next week’s run is again at diplo

Tomato Soup and fresh made bread

The perfect rainy day spread

It’s great to see people from far and near

Back from the holidays. Happy New Year

DATE: 28 Dec 2010

SITE: DST

HARES: Possum/Madam Sin

FRONT HORN: Madmarg

BACK HORN: Dizzy

As I drove along the highway heading for the familiar site of DST, I was cheered by the sight of a fairly clear sky – no storm clouds in sight. Maybe it is my age or is it that I am English that makes me so preoccupied with the weather, but I do hate trudging through the jungle dripping wet – however not today!!

After a brief chat with new and old friends a squeaky horn was heard and off we all galloped, though I found myself right at the back – talking too much probably. We strolled along concrete pathways, no difficult hills to climb so we had time to appreciate the flora and fauna all around.

First I found a tortoise “ what on earth is a tortoise doing in the jungle – dead at that!!?” I was reassured that it was not a tortoise but a terrapin and definitely not dead – just hiding it’s head from me........ We carried along hearing checks called and found in front of us ... ha ha just the way I like it.

As we came to the third check, I pointed out to Heulwen my second time guest, a high wall on our right – which housed a lake that we would probably circumnavigate – but no, there was a most definite sign telling all hashers to go back the way we came in – no chance of getting lost tonight!!

More was to be seen on our way back footprints, hoof prints Trailblazer pointed out – what!! I thought well the tortoise wasn’t a tortoise so maybe hoof-prints didn’t mean a horse – no silly! Wild Boar!!! Good we didn’t see it, though we could have had it roasted for the on on!

Off we all went again and there was Alice in Wonderland photographing us as we crossed the finishing line.

At the shout up new guests were welcomed ..Yvonne and Vanessa. The other first time guests Norma and Denise didn’t stay for the shout-up and somebody who I won’t mention only missed getting the hash-shit by her absence!!! A cheer and a beer were given to the hares and a lovely supper to end the evening on on...

FRONT HORN: TANGO BACK HORN: ALISON

What a pleasant surprise. No rain, I think that is the first time in about a month.

I enjoyed a slow and pleasant ramble along wide paths with the odd stream interuption, one of these was a swim if you missed your footing. Then a
jungle meander and back onto the track for the home run. There was one 'on forward'
check and one 'on back' and one rather steep bank. If only i had had my
camera.

It's not often I am the first at the top of a hill, but the view looking
back from there was very funny. (n.b. A slow and pleasant ramble doesn't usually lead one to the front of the run unless you find the 'on paper')

Horns were Tango and Alison. We had three new guests; a visiting friend, Wena's sister and Narell from the Dairy Farm.

Many thanks to the hares, virgin hare Dee and Never Wrong, for the yummy
food.

I was nominated for the hash shit which i thought very unneccessary, so I refused!
n.b. JM's perogative - new rule!

and Never Wrong told a funny joke against her countrymen.

SITE: LUCKY GARDENS, JLN MUARA

HARES: SATU LAGI/PEAHEN

FRONT HORN: MELISSA BACK HORN: DIZZY

As usual the storm clouds started gathering in the afternoon and I knew we were in for another wet night.

I arrived at Lucky Gardens and saw the paper was heading straight up the muddy embankment. There were only nine dedicated hashers willing to go in and we were without horns but Madam Sin saved the day with a whistle.

Luckily the rain eased off and was only a drizzle when we set of through mud to the top of the ridge.We soon came to first check which was a back check which took quite a while to locate and headed back through more picturesque jungle and a few not to treacherous stream crossings.

Alice in Wonderland and I were at the back of the group after second check and plodded along together needing torches near the end as darkness set in early. I managed to stay fairly dry until the last water crossing when I misjudged the depth of the water and went in waist deep.

We then came to mud flats and went acroos to more jungle and eventually the out trail/ It was an enjoyable run.

At the shout up the hares who did not venture into the juingle described a pleasant stroll under umbrellas along paved roads. Madam Sin was given a shout up for providing the whistle. The birthday hens were sung happy birthday and Legally Blonde was given a down down for her services with refreshments.

MadMarg told a very funny joke with much laughter.

Melissa was awarded the hashit for forgetting to sign in then we ate the delicious vegetable curry and birthday cake. Thank You hares.

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 2^nd 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.

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.
