As usual a glorious day greeted the pack, as it gathered on the edge of lake Saint-Ferréol, numbers were a bit on the thin side what with the summer holidays taking their toll,
Dr Who took the lead and called the circle so Master Blaster and Taupeless could point us in the right direction, someone got a note out of the Hash Horn and we were away.
The hares did well to keep us away from the holidaying frenchies as much as possible taking us past a waterfall and geiser type thingy, it was after this however that the first error occurred. As they lead the trail back past the on-off, the pull of the cold beer was too strong for Dominatrix and Sticky Mermaid and they abandoned the trail half way… The rest of the pack got home the conventional way, with only minor confusion and which I blame on Sticky Horn. The runners were very red faced due to an on-in in full sun along the far side of the lake and were sorely in need of refreshment. After suitable liquid sustenance was partaken our R.A. called everyone to order, kids were turfed out of comfy chairs and the circle was reformed . The hares scored well despite the repassing of the trail too near to the beer cooler and were DDed. Virgins Laurent and Audrey were next up and were welcomed the traditional way (a bunch of strangers in silly clothes singing at them to drink.).Easy Virgin got a well deserved DD for bad attendance. The sinners Dominatrix and Sticky Mermaid were pulled forward, their excuses of tired children were roundly ignored and were DDed. They got off lightly with only the crime of shortcutting put on record. Taupeless got awarded her Hash Cap for haring at least 3 runs, got DDed , then promptly reDDed for having the audacity to remind people to give it to her in a pre-hash email. Everyone likes to see the Snitch being punished, so much so that Dr Who tried to pin something else on her but this time it didn’t stick, never mind there’s always next time. We had a naming; Peter walked away Queen Munchkin due to… no it’s much better if you all ask him separately. He took it well and for the first time in many a month introduced a new song to the hash, we bleated along to it and enough noise was made to encourage another airing further down the road. A Song Meister was born this day. Mountain Goat was awarded her 25 run patch and before she could run away was pulled back in for a possibly/nearly farewell DD along with the Crafty one. The two of them weren’t finished with us yet though as Mountain Goat managed to sell a yeti sized t-shirt to an unsuspecting Franck and Crafty did the rounds looking for a fall guy to take care of, polish and occasionally blow the Hash Horn. After much wriggling the aptly named Sticky Horn passed an audition, got a decent noise out of it and was put in charge. This left the rest of us hoping he doesn’t fully live up to his name. A good day out was had ON ON Scrubber |
