| 10 Oct 08 Dear GM, I am well aware that being a Dutchy makes me use some funny phrases at times, and that the latest publication is not of Pulitzer prize quality. But for you and Keeled Over to collectively ignore my trash on the last hash . . . Think I'll have to talk to Howzatt about joining the Trash Writers Union! On-On. HeBitch |
| 10 Oct 80 Oh, all right, I've added the words. GM |
| 1 Oct 08 At an emergency meeting of the HHHH Mismanagement Committee, called by the GM after he noticed the way his pension fund has been declining over the past few months, (and causing, as everybody will no doubt have seen, financial turmoil on world markets) the decision was taken to raise the Beerdrinker's Charge from Rs 300 to Rs 350, AND to allow a maximum of two hares per hash to enjoy free drinks. Please address all complaints about this to Keeled Over, whose email address is at the lower left. GM |
| 3 Oct 08 Hello Hashers. Tired of leeches? Rub salt all over your shoes, socks and feet. It helps a lot. You might also try soaking your shoes and socks in salt water, letting them dry and then donning them. I scouted on Thursday without salt and got about 20 bites per foot (do I get an extra down-down for that?!) Then on Saturday I was out there 6 hours all in all and I got but one tentative bite. On-on Kruel |
| 24 Sep 08 I have consulted the Hash Rules and verified that The Gee Em and The Gee Mizz are permitted to place advertisements on the Shite. So if you are interested in buying the Gee Mizz's Maruti Gypsy and/or her dog Max click here. GM |
| 17 Oct 08 We're having a house party tomorrow night. Hashers are welcome to come. Grab anyone from the U.S. Embassy if you need more details or directions. In general, any taxi driver should be able to get you to Prime Minister's Road. Once on that street, you'll go over two speed bumps and then turn right at the first alley (marked by a blue gate on one side and a black-and-white checkered gate on the other side). Saptarangi is the tall red apartment building about halfway up the alley. Alex and Alex live in the same neighbourhood, so they could help with directions as well. Hope to see some of you there! OnOn Kyla |
1 Oct 08 In case anyone hasn't read the Hareline above:
Hash 1562 will start at 14:00 hrs
Moreover, the Hares will be distributing free t-shirts which they have procured especially for this event AND will make extra beer available AND it is the GeeMizz's last hash, AND it's the GeeMizz's100th run! |
26 Sep 08 Hey Dear GM, Kindly find the KTM Marathon (Half) Reports & Photos:
Marathon Blog 1, Marathon Blog 2, Marathon Blog 3 - Oh....but, it's Japanese. OnOn Spider Woman |
| 1 Oct 08 Seen recently after lots of booze at the GM's is Turd Herder himself. News is that he was back in town to set up another few years of consultancy for the Melamchi water project. On the night we met, Kathmandu received the highest rainfall for a day in September since records began. Must presage something. GM |
 |
26 Sep 08 Some words from DoggyStyle about the Kathmandu Marathon: Gee Emm. No idea about people's times. The relay was fun, and we managed to do it without being noticed by the organizers. But with the event so poorly organized, there was no way they could have taken any notice. But even with fresh sets of legs being added every 10.5 km, the Hashers need a lot of improvement to compete with the marathoners.
|
| 24 Sep 08 Below is the Hash's contribution to the recent Kathmandu Marathon (and Half-Marathon) on the morning of Hash 1559. GM |
 |
| 16 Sep 08 The Gee Mizz's last hash (for the moment we all hope) will be Hash 1562 on 11 Oct. She is suggesting that there may be a small celebration party afterwards. GM |
| 16 Sep 08. Dear Super Suction and Impressive, how about adding to this organization by offering to set the run on 11th October. We really would be in unknown territory then (as I hope your run would also be). GM |
| 19 Sep 08 What's going on? We've been coming to HHHH for about 6 months now and never before have we seen the Receding Harline with hares already signed up for three future runs, let alone directions for in three weeks time! This is far too well organised - doesn't feel like Nepal at all! Super Suction & Impressive |
| 16 Sep 08 In order to combat the decline in numbers since my return to the Hash the Hare is going to provide a barbeque after Hash 1559. Great! GM |
| 15 Sep 08 Hi to the hashers of Kathmandu from the hills of Addis Ababa! I've finally landed at my new job in Ethiopia, and ran my first hash with the crew here last weekend. The hills are higher (we started around 3000m), but there are no snowcapped peaks in the background. Lots of goats around, but no puja to be seen. I do have to say though, the Ethiopians know how to put on a post-hash party! On on! Shaggy Baba |
| 15 Sep 08 Oh come on Shaggy B, you know that, in the HHHH, the run has always had precedence over the party afterwards. My deduction from this is that the Adis Alibaba hash is so downright short and easy that you are actually able to have fun afterwards. GM |
| 21 Aug 08 Canadians! Dear all, I had no idea Canadians were so touchy! It should be pointed out to the offended that there can be no retraction.
The scribe made it clear that he was half pissed at the time of the circle and it would be unfair to hold that against him. I'm sure that there is a standard disclaimer to the trashes making it clear that appeals for material inaccuracies may only be considered by the mis-management at the next circle.
It's also worth noting that the said harriet was described as a "nice American". As everyone knows there is no such thing as a "nice American", ergo the scribe was clearly thinking of a Canadian (a race well known for being "nice" but with American accents), so in the scribes opinion it was pretty close literal translation! On, on SS P.s. Actually come to think of it, up until now I'd thought John was a "nice American" too ! If it goes on like this we'll need to start issuing badges to the Canadians ! |
| 20 Aug 08 Deer Rotts an' Keeled, I am becoming increasingly concerned to see that you still have no Hares for Run 1555. Is this part of a deliberate plot to rank the weekend that Towed came back along with the day after the royal massacre as the only two Saturdays in living memory that HHHH has not run? And NO, I AM NOT VOLUNTEERING!! On-On in anticipation, Towed |
| 20 Aug 08 Another Nice American (sic): My gawd, can’t Supersucker recognize a polite Canadian when he sees one. Holy buffalo, we Canadians are quiet, unassuming little beavers, not frigging elephants.. We may live in igloos and get around on dogsleds, but we don’t ever win 8 gold medals and a hummer is still a hasher who after two beers can only remember that the song has something to do with “blue virgins”. How ironic that with all the “imitation Canadians”(SS’s wording…Canadians wouldn’t think of disparaging new Canadians) at hash 1554, my friend poor Cathy gets called a yankee. Galling to say the least, and Scotland isn’t even a country, so I’m told. Retraction!!!! Not so Quiet John |
| 12 Aug 08 T shirts etc. for sale: Dear all,
after losing his wallet while coming home from last week's hash, He Bitch is requesting every devoted hasher to buy one of the already famous T-shirts He and Stripties will bring to the hash next week.
This is to provide him a little financial stability and avoid him joining other gender-confused persons who make a living standing in front of the Hotel Ambassador at night. Cheers HB |
| 3 Aug 08 Hash film. The new hash film is now on sale. Contact Rabi Aryal or The Inner Circle for a copy at next week's hash. The film is made up of footage from the 1500th run at Bandipur and a hash run from Godavari and there's quite a few scenes of walkers doing there stuff as well. A not-to-be-missed bargain at 500 rupees or NR 300 for those of limited means. KO |
 |
| 29 May 08 Hash photos: The GM has offered to make up DVDs with all the hash photos from 2001 onwards. The DVD will have all the originals from most hashes since then. Email me if you would like a copy at 200 rupees per DVD and we'll get them made up. KO |
| 24 Jul 08 Trash publication logjam. I am too busy to post trashes and need someone to take on the onerous task for a while. Anyway I haven't received any photos for hashes 1548 and 1550 or words for 1549. Can some Geek take over for a while? I've just posted a couple of photos on trash 1549. KO |
| 24 Jul 08 Bye-bye: No more On-On for me in the Kathmandu Valley... And perhaps a new tall blonde on the back of Jimi's bike ;) No, thanks a lot for the great hashes the past couple of months. I had a great time. If I'll ever come back I'll definitely join you for some more running! On-on! Mirjam |
| 13 July 08 Auspicious Hash 1550 at Nagarkot: So it's confirmed, next Saturday the hash will run from the Farmhouse (hotel), Nagarkot starting at the earlier than usual time of 2pm. And then all hashers are invited to stay overnight there at a cost of about 1400 rupees each, sharing a room and including food. Send an email to Jannie by Thursday if you want to stay overnight. There are only limited places. Also 1, let her know if you will be making your own way there or would like to join a hash-organised bus. Also 2, there may be a group cycling up. Let Jannie and Trouble know if you want to cycle up leaving Koteshwor at c. 9am. KO |
| 3 Jul 08 To the Assistant Sheitmeister. I trust this will come unscathed and uncensored through the review committee:
What a shameful dumping of responsibilities and twisting of reality Keeled! If only the Americans had you justifying to the world their invasion of Iraq. Trash 1547, paragraph 9, sentence one, clearly
states: "as an official hare [SpreadEagle] failed to do the actual haring". Case closed. But even if the trash wouldn't have been so blatantly clear, there are two points that have to be made: a) if Keeled would have paid any attention during the hash he would have known this for himself b) Keeled knows very well one should never trust a trash or the scribe that writes it for any character within its bounds, as know we all. StripTies (shakes head in disbelief). |
3 Jul 08 4. To doggystyle: Oh dear, oh dear DoggyStyle. Things are heating up quite a bit here, I must say. And I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. How can it be that brethren, once closer to the heart than blood, now stand on opposite sides, ready to drink it. I want to resolve this situation.
In the name of all that is reconciliatory, i truly do! Tell you what old chap, next time I set out a Hash, you're almost guaranteed to win.
Let us say the competition might run into an 'accident'. Wink, wink.
What are old friends for eh. Cheerio!
ST |
| 2 Jul 08 Hey Bryan Redirect the B-52s to the Dutch polders as it was scribe StripTies who wrongly put SpreadEagle as the hare omitting to recognise your great efforts at mismanaging last week's hash. On-On Keeled |
| 2 Jul 08 A Complaint! Hey, I want to file a complaint with the HHH grievance department.
After days and days of reconnaissance, hours of meticulous laying of trail and finally drinking as the lead hare in the circle, James--Spread Eagle and the lame-ass hare -- get the credit in trash 1547 for being last week's hares. My dignity, pride, and general well-being are greatly damaged by this oversight. I'll refrain from overreacting, although I will note that the U.S. has invaded other countries for lesser offenses. Bryan |
| 3 Jul 08 3. Correction. I did not finish last. I beat the 10 year old girl by few steps. I guess StripTease was too busy basking in the glory on your imaginary podium to notice such important details. I'd say that StripTease can keep his "valuable lesson" to himself so that he can lighten up a bit in the years to come. There is no place for bitterness, hatred or frustration in Doggy's world. It is all in the scribe's head.
So chill.
- DoggyStyle. |
| 2 Jul 08 2. Accusation reply: Dear DoggyStale,
just because you finished last, doesn't mean you have to become all bitter and nasty towards an impartial recorder of history! This kind of behaviour will just result in more hatred and frustration, both inside your own being as well as in the hearts of those you lash out to. As I pointed out in Trash 1547: being a true winner isn't about winning the race, it's about one's attitude. As you can now see quite plainly, this both defeats your accusation, and can teach you a valuable lesson which can enrich your life in years to come.
Yours (if somewhat hurt), StripTies |
| 2 Jul 08 1. StripTies Race! Dear GM. Since when has the leisurely Saturday afternoon runs of the Himalayan Hash turned into a "race"? Seems to me that the strike by the Hash Writer's Guild left us with novice writers who have little or no knowledge of the hallowed Himalayan Hash spirit (not talking about beer). I suggest that the GM use his authority to clamp down on any such effort to turn our runs into a competitive event. Is StripTies trying to console the dismal showing by his team at the Euro 2008 by staking claim at his imaginary podium of Hash 1547? On on, DoggyStyle |
21 June 08 Some of today's headlines from www.NepalNews.com/hhhh:
GM Predicts Disaster!
Beerdrinkers Stage Chakkajam to Protest at Hash Fee Hike
Softies Demand 57% Hash Discount - Trouble in Jawalakhel
Beer Rises to $200 a Barrel on International Market
Steep Decline in Cost of Carrots
Hash Location Changed
GM Locked in Charpie for Mismanaging Hash Funds
etc. |
| 20 June 08 Dude, Doggie's got it all wrong.. Don't blame him, its maybe the jet lag! Besides, notice cash getting carried forward, am sure the leftover beers should be getting carried forward too! Just that there is no mention of it. 11 Beeries couldn't have possibly had 38 beers! There was a truckload that went back the last time... guess that didn't quite miss my prying eyes or maybe it was just me.. hallucinating after
3.5 beers! Cheers, BUTT |
| 20 Jun 08 Easing the Hash cash crunch: We need to increase the Hash fees for Beeries to Rs. 500!!! Here is what my calculations tell me from the 1545 HashSheet below: Total cost for beer: Rs. 6530 [Per beer cost in the market: Rs. 130 (average) No. of beers consumed: 48, plus 4 bottles drunk by the two hares plus another 6 bottles for down-downs.] That means the 11 beeries drank 38 beers (about 3.5 beers per person). If each beerie is drinking Rs. 450 worth of beer, then slapping them with Rs. 500 fees is not unjustified. What do you think GM? On-On Doggy w/ Style |
| 19 Jun 08 More on the hashcash crunch: To justify the recent outrageous increases in the hash fees, the GM has sent me the hashcashsheets from Hashes 1334 (June 2004) and 1544 (June 2008) for posting on this Shite (see below). Although there does appear to have been a substantial increase in the price of beer, we must not overlook the 25% decrease in the cost of carrots. Is this all a ploy to bolster the GM's Retirement Fund? KO |
 |
| 1 Jun 08 Here's another journalistic take on the Hash: an article from InfoTourism Nepal. GM |
21 June 08. NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION FOR TODAY'S HASH. THE HASH MUST GO ON AS WE NO LONGER HAVE THE EXCUSE OF A ROYAL MASSACRE TO CANCEL THE HASH FOR!! ON-ON IN THE NEW NEPAL.
Hey Itchy Balls -- we'd love to see you. Make the effort man. KO |
| 29 May 08 Hash locations: The further out we go the better hashing territory we usually get in to so please let the Inner Circle know how far out people can manage to go for a hash these days given the fuel shgortage. With the shortage in mind this week's hash has been relocated to the Ring Road and the idyllic surroundings of Pashupatinath! Roll on petrol at $200 a barrel and it will be bring your own beer to the hash as the GM won't be able to afford to move his gas guzzling global warming chariot out of his driveway! KO |
| 27 May 08 Re. the fuel shortage: Dear AssShite, I am pleased to report that the small attack of hash aversion which came over me at half past one last Saturday afternoon has receded as much as your topknot, and I was fully intending to make it for next Saturday's run. But then I went to the Shite Hairline and saw the distance the Beer Wagon is expected to cover to attend the event (throwing out half its fuel in the form of small black bits, as you well know). Come on Keeled, can't we have it in a sensible place like the flatlands of Bagdole, five minutes from Rotters Redoubt? I can't guarantee the attendance of the blue coolies unless either a) you take turns with Prem in the Pulchowk diesel queue for the next three days or, b) you take everything on your push-bike, on which I am pretty certain your are going to get there on, or c) Howeszaat and Half-a-Lunch, agree to push instead of being passengers. Yours ever. The Gee Em. |
| 16 May 08 More on Beer First from Griot: Must not have been a true Aussie - more like an immigrant from the UK or Canada? A 'real' Aussie would have left the kid at home and had a second 30-pack of beer on the floor! griot |
| 15 May 08 The Hash 1500 film ... is on it's way! Yesterday two well known local artistes recorded the script and now Rabi A. and Bijay will go ahead and fit the film of the Bandipur weekend and other miscellaneous footage to these words. The 45 minute film is expected to be ready for general distribution in a few week's time. KO |
| 14 May 08 Beer first! The BBC reports that a car driver in Australia has been fined for strapping down his beer rather than his young child. Police said they were "shocked and appalled" when they pulled over the car south of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.
They said the 30-can pack of beer was strapped down between two adults in the back, with the five-year-old child unrestrained on the floor! On-on ASM |
| 8 May 08 Hash Credit Crunch: I have to report the sad news of the greatest financial loss ever suffered by the HHHH on a regular hash event. After Run 1539 the GM's pension fund is lower by Rs 2,394. I am sure everybody is aware that to finally get rid of me will require a reasonable quantity of money. Therefore I recommend that, forthwith, the fee for beer drinkers be increased to Rs 300 (rather than increasing the 'beer tax' which the soft drinkers pay).
This will also solve the ever-present Rs 50 note shortage problem. If anybody has any objections to this please send them to Rubberlegs, our outstanding beer quaffer (at least when he's haring). Rotter |
| 8 May 08 69 produces a heir: Dear Friends,
Despite a little delay, we are very happy to announce the birth of our son Erik on 15 April 2008!!! See for yourself on the right. Everybody’s fine after a bit of a rough time trying to get a grip to the new task in our life.
Many thanks to my wife Janet! Many regards, Richard '69' Heimel |
