This write-up is all about Moby Dick's stalwart run setting, crocodile and snake sightings by co-hare, Crocodile Ryder, and a car for sale. What does a car for sale have to do with a hash run? Nothing. The Hash Scribe however has received permission from the On Sec and the Hash Cash, who all happen to be the same person, to run a free Hash classified in the Trash to advertise his vehicle. First, a word about the run. Moby Dick laid out his usual long course with co-hares Crocodile Ryder and Rambo. Crocodile Ryder and Rambo actually offered little in the way of assistance, apart from idle banter about crocodile sightings in the small streams the Pack later had to cross. They also sighted an extremely large snake that looked like it might have been a diamondback rattler, extremely rare for these parts. Moby Dick couldn't be bothered by all of this, although he patiently pointed out the cattle egrets to Crocodile and Rambo, which promptly set them into hippo watching mode. Sadly, there were no hippos to be seen but there were plenty of semi-lethal looking water buffaloes, which of course are a near cousin of the highly dangerous Cape Buffalo, which strike fear into the heart of Africans more than any other animal. Those buggers just don't back down, which is something to bear in mind as we go skipping through the buffalo water ponds. Fortunately, on the run itself, Desert Fox, following his 'English Patient gentlemanly ways of the desert, shooed away a disturbed looking buffalo for Pushy Galore, who has a mortal fear of any horned animal on a hash run. Unfortunately for Desert Fox, the Circle again did not approve of chivalry on a hash, and awarded him with a sickly sweet Fanta down-down. One of these days, the aspirant gentlemen on our hash will learn their lesson and leave their manners at home. We are sure

Pushy Galore will understand and even appreciate our boorish behavior. The Circle was stunned to hear the news that a key member of the HHHH Politburo is stepping down since he will transfer to the Batavia Hash in Jakarta, where he will once again enjoy the sloth of being a hash backbencher. Hash mismanagement escalated to new heights of mismanaged excellence under Rambo, who held four hash ministerial portfolios 'Hash Cash, Piss, On Sec and Scribe' which are now open to the highest bidder in the best Nepal tradition. Meanwhile, it was agreed that the Scribe chores would be democratically passed around to Hares, who will write-up the following week's run.

This Saturday's run will be Rambo's last HHHH run and it will be at his estate (see map). The On-On-On will be a catered affair attended to by liveried servants on the hand-manicured lawns. All are invited. On On!
