Run No. 178 - 29th July 2006
Question: What's the generic name for Viagra?
Answer: Mycoxaphillin.
KWETU Training Centre on the banks of Mtwapa creek was the venue for SWANK Hash No. 178. This week’s Hare was the fiery Kama Sutra famous for setting a vigorous trail and yours truly as Co-Hare had the pleasure of seeing her in action.
Off we went from KWETU down to the creek with the fish and crab ponds, through green hills and up country lanes, Kama Sutra wielding the white chalk to set the marks as lightly as a sadist’s whip. “You have to make them sweat and suffer” was her mantra as numerous false trails were set.
So the trail set, an exotic lunch of blueberry pie and the Hashers trickle in with the GM R’Hole bearing the Down Down beers and Vibrating Aslam, the munchies. Dark clouds gathering, looks like we might be running in the rain. The GM R’Hole with Hash dog Bob sniff out the trail and lead the pack on. Down to the mangroves leads the trail, ahead is a large empty pond starting to fill as the tide turns, the site of the upcoming KWETU Environmental Challenge 2006 Fundraising Games. The Blonde Loong Hot One guards our rear as usual and can be heard commenting on the declining quality of Marks & Spencer Underwear. Now you don’t really need World Bank or IMF economists sprouting statistics to prove that standards of living have declined, according to the Blonde the quality of Marks & Sparks underwear is the best indicator.
On On goes the cry, as the pack pass through the mangroves. A chalk circle marks a “Check” point and the pack disperses searching for the trail. The oblivious but very steep uphill path is conveniently ignored by the pack, but the devious Kama Sutra cajoles and whips the hounds up, only for them to find a “Check Back” mark at the top. Ever seen a blonde running downhill backwards? A sight to turn hounds into laughing hyenas.
Rain drops patter down as the sun shines through the clouds and a Technicolor rainbow curves over the mangroves and creek. The pack picks up the trail again and another steep hill leads back to KWETU, a Hold and the end of stage one. Really pouring down now and you can smell the earth. The cowardly pack decides to give up due to the rain or is it because they can smell the Down Downs and munchies?
Mzee Mouth a hero of legends takes up stage two alone and yours truly as Co-Hare is forced to join in. So down a long false trail and up again (The clever hare caught in his own trap). Down to the mangroves again and the going gets shiggy, the creek been muddy. Home run and the pack are already deep into the Down Downs.
One 2 One Cars have kindly agreed to sponsor any newcomers a.k.a. virgins who finish next week’s Hash to a unique Helicopter ride.
