Royal Milan & Bordighera H³ NewsletterDecember 22, 1997 |
From: Stephanie Smith Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 11:52:34 EST Subject: Run ReportBetter late than never. Here is the run report.
Sunday morning - champagne in abundance, tinsel in abundance, dogs in abundance, children in abundance, hashers in abundance - no Bwana's in abundance. This time Bwana is in deepest Africa (we have since held a RM&BHHH Mis Management Committee Meeting and it was decided that Freddie (Stevie's black dog) be elected as the new GM). We have not broken the news to Bwana yet.
Hares Tonedeaf and Stevie arrived, with Tonedeaf still demonstrating his new style of walking (will he ever play American Football again?). Santa arrived disguised as Fabulous, and after warnings of masked gunmen (T Shirt story revisited) the show got underway. I don't remember the area we were in but it was very nice anyway. Tonedeaf attached a white flag to his horn and we adorned our combat gear. The pack soon split up and I found myself running with Simon and Sparky (sounds like a kids TV show). We headed off through the fields and then over some rather large pebbles - I slowed off here and Dean Dangly Balls zoomed past with Klaus (Sassio Oilio - spelt wrong I'm sure) in hot persuit. We arrived at a song stop which was not in fact a song stop and continued on the ankle breaking gravel. We arrived at the real song stop where "singing in the rain" was shared jointly by Fabio, Stuffing and Sparky.
Continued through the countryside for a long run and arrived at a sort of forest - this was a maze of flour. I think there were about ten of us trying to figure out the problem when Sparky sniffed out the beer wagon where beer was promptly consumed. We did not get treated to any verses of "Every Day's a Wednesday" so the girls were all disappointed. Mince pies were on offer courtesy of Diane B (despite her oven problems). We headed off after the beer stop, expecting a long trail back - luckily the ON IN was just around the corner and it was back to the restaurant for the Down Downs.
Down Downs were administered by Fabio, Simon and Tonedeaf and I can't remember who got what so please consult On Sex Annie for details. Santa arrived (again disguised as Fabio) and distributed goodies to the kids. Also pressies were given to Cheesy Dick (A piece of cheese ably moulded by the girls to represent a certain part of the male anatomy), Mary Poppins (an umbrella), Safe Sox (A Safe Sox video with dirty socks and a condom inside, Hang Up (a coathanger) and others. Big Balls was presented with two ballons which Sarah expertly pinned onto him, and then proceeded to burst to earn her long awaited Hash Name - Big Ball Breaker.
Into the restaurant where we had turkey, Stuffing a la Mike Thompson, Christmas Puds a la Big Ball Breaker and loads of other goodies. Chairs were upturned to see which 6 lucky hashers had won prizes ranging from a glow in the dark condom to edible underwear.
The Quiz was distributed and best entries came from Simon and from Sarah and Dana. Cheryl + team were disqualified for the usual "F*** knows" answer.
John and Marion were given a proper send off and the singing went on into the night. I had to get a train to the land of the boring people at 5.30 so probably missed out on all the good bits, so if anyone would like to add Part III to the story they are welcome..................
