Run no 1367
Hondo Hondo camp, Udzungwa Mountains
Sat 3 April 2010

Hares : WetDream and CampBed
GM : WetDream
RA : CandyMan
The Mismanagers had done so much planning for this event that it was easy to decide on Friday evening that there should be a run on Saturday.
Predictably we knew we had enough beer and wine, (having stripped the hash warehouse) - who cares about water and soda anyway.
The only unknowns were
1. who was actually at the Wild Things campsite
2. who would set a run
3. where the run might go
4. if anyone would be energetic enough to actually do a run after spending six hours tramping through the forest and climbing Sanje Falls.
As example : the magical mystery hashers who had been first to arrive at the camp, been personally conducted to their tent by camp manager Jock and ticked off on the printed cast list were NEVER SEEN AGAIN .... and not a hasher to later arrive even admitted to knowing the mystery names. The HondoHondo triangle starts a reputation ?

To the great credit of the pack a nearly full cast headed out on Wetdream’s trail at 4pm and despite some parts being swum rather than run (Squirrels love water, as apparently do Castratos and odd mini HeadGaskets) we arrived at the hastily repositioned beerstop a la BoogieBoobs. JustAlice claims a sister (we didn’t hear the other side of the story) and rather than popping over to NY to say happy birthday (and hence miss the hash), she induced village children at the beerstop to hold up a sweet ‘happy 30th birthday Heather’ sign and photo them .... ahhhhh.

The run in was more of a muddy stumble and crawl for most, but everyone was accounted for at the following circle. Due to gross foresight our esteemed GM CockRoach backed out of his sworn commitment to go the distance and hung around Dar doing nothing of value, so stand-in past GM’s came to the fore again.

WetDream’s memory came to life and CampBed, Headgasket and Nuts4Love were straight in for hats in the circle and punished with a horizontal downdown suitably filtered through headgear.
Other notables were Twitchers feat of dry feet throughout the run, having removed and replaced her trainers and socks multiple time; parents who stuffed up the packed lunch system by taking their kids to the Falls; HappyWith3Fingers who was apparently wonderful (don’t ask me I just wrote it down); and finally Castrato’s introduction as new trailmaster.
In accordance with Rippas tradition Castrato had heard about a hare of the dog run on Sunday but had no idea of a Monday run, at which point CandyMan took over the circle.

The RA had stocked up on crimes, even conversing with police on the trip from Dar to ascertain who had been speeding - Headgasket was let off as they don’t prosecute the over 70’s any more, Benjamin was GIVEN money to give to Jock (as the RA said - they haven’t really come to terms with this corruption thing yet), and Ryan also simply stopped for a chat.
BB’s vomitous night was memorialised, with CanyBlower for company; new boots JustJoe, Nuts4Love, and Taylor; WD and BB and Sq for ignoring the massive HondoHondo sign and checking out the road ahead; Abdi for asking the way of the villagers on the run; departees Twitcher, FoxyPussy and JustAlice; and finally virgins Taylor and Benjamin.

After a brief warm safari rendition, the GM ran the hash shit stakes in his well remembered democratic fashion. Nominees PleasureCentre; SpitsAndSwallows; Castrato; HappyWith3 and FoxyPussy were quickly whittled down to PC who actually seemed to be happy in the regalia.
SLSC and food.
