Everyone knew the correct time.
There was no football interference. The rain gods cooperated. Mutts
were banned. Therefore 25 mostly serious (uh?
- what's happening while I'm away? - GM) runners gathered for
another super Hurry Krishna run.
Hurry took a slightly different
route at the start, heading west up the road which looped to the
usual check 1 at the start of the pine plantation. Again we went
west, then up to check 2 at the Pushpa Lal memorial. Again we
went level and west, then up to backcheck 3. Again we went down
and left, this time stopping on a meadow for holding check 4 -
necessary because the backcheck had badly scattered the pack.
On west, with slippery ups and downs, and spectacular crashes,
to check 5. Then up past the Village of Ill Repute, the SCENE
OF THE CRIME. We passed above the village quietly and made
a long loop up west, and then down to holding check 6. Paper again
went west to check 7 and then looped down and east to check 8,
and on east, past the Macchenarayan Temple, and down to check
9. The front runners tried a shortcut, getting newcomer Juan
Carlos into the lead for this section. Juan
is about to join one of the LOWER classes at the British School.
Horrors take note: you have new competition! The usual home run
got us back to the cars, now a little damp thanks to a gentle
rain.
The rain let up so the popcorn did not get soggy. We congratulated
Hurry Krishna on a good, and
relatively disaster-free run. We noted that Mrs.
Hurry did NOT help set the run, or show up. We welcomed
back returnees Tshering Gurung,
Karl Mock, Lao
Lover, Hus and Christopher.
Karl had to remind the Religious
Advisor that he had just returned, so the RA
joined that down-down but then evened the score when he saw Karl's
hat on his head during the down-down.
Virgin Patricia joined us from
Africa. She survived the run and hopefully enjoyed it enough to
return next week .
Newcomer Juan Carlos, a veteran
of the Pretoria Hash, joined his father and spent most of the
afternoon with the front runners. His official welcome party consisted
of Hus and Calvin,
fellow horrors who spent the run messing up the GM's
Land Rover while taking care of Christopher.
The Hash hopes that Martina's
new venture into the tourism business is successful, but wonders
what will happen to Nepal when she gets the 1.3 billion Chinese
here.
Heather and Trina
have learned that one does NOT relax and chat on motorcycle seats
during the circle. Etiquette is important!
Lao Lover, just back from his
favourite country, fed more leeches than the rest of the pack
put together. We awarded him for his generosity to Nepalese wildlife.
We congratulated our GM on
giving up enough holiday time to get the trash posted to the web
page, and on his great spying success. Judith,
veteran of one and only one hash (The Nakhipot Duo's Falling Waters
Frolic), while trying to escape Nepal, found herself in front
of Rotter's camera. She is
recovering from a non-hash-related ankle injury. We expect a complete
and honest explanation later.
We reminded latecomers Apple
and Dr. Hillary that the hash
starts at 1500 h. Hillary did
not deserve punishment, having come most of the way from Dhulikhel
on public transport.
We thank Dr. Hillary for being
official hash photographer for the week.
Then comes the HASHIT:
1. We again congratulate the GM
on observing that there was no mention of the august award last
week - a terrible oversight. It WAS awarded in Hash 1229, and
the details follow. The Fox
nearly got it himself for forgetting to try to give it away. He
claimed Religious Advisor immunity
and quickly looked for suspects. The usual ones, Apple
for showing up, and Hurry Krishna
for not bringing Mrs HK, were
there, but the focus quickly fell on Grumblewald.
He had set a super hash and managed to herd the troupes rather
verbally from start to finish. Finally back in the circle he refused
to stand up. His last complaint concerned the living creatures
in the bottom of the mug.
2. Grumblewald returned the
Hashit today, duly washed
but not polished. He does not like the taste of brass polish and
knows that sooner rather than later the trophy will be back at
his lips. This time he tried to pin the rap on his former friend
Rasmus, who, according to Grumblewald,
was just as much to blame for last week's torture as Grumblewald
was. No one bought that story, so Grumblewald
zeroed in on Nicolette's fancy
sandals. Again no response. Apple
and Hurry were staying quiet.
Then a quiet voice noted a serious crash - of a computer - this
week. Courtney had gathered
70+ viruses on her machine at work, and it died. (With
people like that out there aren't you all glad the hash email
list is not circulated to everyone! - GM) The U.S.
government can surely afford computer virus protection! Courtney
was not amused at the reminder of the week's disaster, but promises
to proudly display our trophy on top of her computer, as a reminder
that viruses spread.
