Flem was a forlorn sight standing under an umbrella looking skywards and to the east and west as rain clouds continued to roll in. But he was dry. IWM was still out setting the run for a second time. Hang on, shouldn’t that have been IWM looking a forlorn sight standing under the umbrella looking skywards while Flem was out resetting the run? Anyway, across the rain soaked oval Flem pointed out a couple of Texans sheltering in the footy grandstand so we drove around to join them. Meet Try a Fuck (TAF) and She Muscle Bitch (SMB). That proves it, I thought, Yanks are from another planet. Next on the scene was Mothball and Tiger Moth. No way was he going to run in this shit. Klingon appeared with Addon and surprise, surprise, they were keen to run. It was now 7pm, the rain has stopped and we set off, running on flour, lots of it. The trail was easy to find, the pack stayed together and focused, extremely focused. You see TAF had brought along his GPS and he knew exactly where he was. And Flem had map and he knew exactly where he was. So we had TAF pointing one way, Flem pointing the other way and Klingon somewhere between them yelling On On is this way! I wonder what Pointy would of made of all this. Is the GPS the way of future hashing or did the a photocopied page from the Melways win hands down? You be the judge. Towards the end of the run TAF and myself become separated and we floundered around wondering where the pack had disappeared to. TAF was desperately talking to his GPS, trying to find an opening into Ivanhoe Park. We got back eventually and there Flem was waiting, relaxed, beer in hand. “What kept you?” he crowed.
The Circle The circle was called and IWM’s efforts in setting two runs was rewarded with a 12 out of 7 for the first run and a 26 out of 20 for the second. TAF was impressed with the imaginative use of the terrain, the off street running. well-timed checks and cunningly placed on backs. At least I think thats what he said. For a Texan, he had a very strong Scottish accent. Mothballs 350 runs was recognized. Our Texans given a welcoming beer along with Spunk in a Trunk from Boston. GG appeared from nowhere for a beer and Alice was welcomed back.
Charges GG for some despicable act at Interhash Flem in his red jumper – a lookalike charge I believe. Prince for being a noisy sleeper according to his roomy. So here it is, Klingon, you DO snore! TAF for carrying a faulty GPS on a run
