THERE ARE TOO MANY DOGS AND BITCHES ON PETALING HASH.
To the former, either your humans are on leashes or they are ban from running with the PH3. Do you happen to know that there is this K9 Hash down South, run by our beloved Dave ‘Madame Butterfly’ Settegren? Perhaps you may want to take your humans down to Kiasu land and let them roam free on K9H3 evenings.
To the latter, there has not been so much bitching in Petaling Hash for quite sometime now. The previous week’s Rambo assisted run was deem f…king too long [0220hrs first runner in], and this week’s Doyle abomination was too f..king short with first in within 45 minutes. The amount of bitching at the run site was loud and clear. More so from non-starters who were as always bitching and giving their two-cents worth of expertise assessment and opinion on how a run is to be set. It never fails to intrigue me how these so claimed hashers can come to the Hash and hang around the beer wagon and not run but try to look pretty. These are but the loudest and obnoxious critiques of the evening.
This evening was the AGM run that was not to be because some individuals wanted to attend the St Patrick’s Ball. So they postpone the AGM to the following week. I do hope the new 2004 Management does not allow such precedent of unrelated Hash events superceding our PH3 calendar-gazette activities. One of the original reasons why PH3 runs start at 0430pm was to allow members time to rush home after the run to attend their pre-engagement social evening. The directions to the run site was wanting with quite a few members driving to Kundang Lake and to Elimina Estate football field, truly Elaine Leong what were you thinking? We were parked under this shade of a two-lane fly-over as it was a very hot afternoon. Early birds in the Mozers the Germans and Mei was relaxing in their arm chairs when the Highway workers chased them away as road sweeping was in progress on their side of the Highway. We were told to park on one side of the Highway, very reasonable. We had a very strong turn out at the start of the run even with a few of our self-righteousness away at the private Ball. We had with us this evening a distinguish Danish old gentleman, daddy-o of Charlotte ‘Plastered’, who was guest. He was amused at this bunch of mentally challenged Hashers running in this hot weather and parking on an incomplete Highway.
On on was called at 0433pm, and the multitude charged towards the oil palm tree line to be away from the scorching sun, who but Opera Cheong was walking beside me at the start, he didn’t look too well, has been down with a stubborn flu bug that has KOed him. Checking was called to the left on top of the hill, Wolfgang signaled to us that papers was found to the right, looks like a circular. But the call of on on was from the left, not wanting to be caught out the back runners followed Wolfgang. Who but Osama the Ozzie and Christie was bringing up the rear, Osama checked across the ditch to the right, and Hanifah Yoong with his dogs proclaimed that this is his running area. And that was about the last time we saw the both of them. Paper took us on a hugh left lobe, what we realised much later that that the papers found by Wolfgang at the very start were the in-trail papers. The Hare placed the home trail way too close to the out trail; the in-trail papers truly caught out Wolfgang, Guinness Khoo, Raymond and yours truly. However mid way through the run, met up with the pack heading towards our direction. Turning around ran along with the main pack and 40 minutes later we were within sight of our cars. We suspected that we must have missed out a couple of checks and lobes, as the paper trails were too close to each other thus FROPs missed out on a couple of checks and lobes. I was back at the wagon within 55 minutes; Thomas and Alex raced in to the run a second time around. Being such a short run, hashers were bitching about the Hare’s effort and their own screw up. It was such a hot and humid evening, and we wanted a short run, but definitely not that short of a run. Absorbed a couple of 100Plus into the body, and time to yarn and cool off. The local ice cream peddler did roaring business with theHash children and their mothers, Mei Mei and Irene Chin were buying us ice cream. Taught the Arnie the German Kwai Loh what ice cream burger [roti ice cream] is.
Shower time, and the old Danish gentleman seated in his portable armchair was enjoying the numerous views of showering female hashers. He has assured us of coming back to PH3 to join us in the near future. Do not know about the running part, but definitely for the showering bit.
As my driver lift had a pre engagement, we did not go to the on on at Fatt Kee Restaurant at Rahman Putra, we understand there were about 5 tables of hashers. Thank you Phillip Doyle and Les Collins who are stand in hares. Why is it so? With 190 members and a designated hare-line with three months notice, we have members who resign at the last moment and /or who are out of the country during the week they are to set the run. Thence leaving the hare-line ‘vacant’. Such unhealthy practices must be addressed seriously by the new Management.
