Another attempt to subvert the course of hashing with an early start .. succeeded. At 4.15 no less, the select pack was away on a run which EnemaQueen found to be brilliant (easily pleased harriettes are popular I hear) but maybe she referred to the blazing beating blinding sweat inducing SUN. SwissArmyWife was deputised by MagicFinger who didn’t actually leave the Castle and therefore thought the walk was a mysterious blur.

The GM recapped 2012 noting the loss of Headgasket, the two hashy weddings, and that TruncheonMuncher had been abusing vegetables earlier. As an exGM from AbuDhabi TM needed the support of all GMs, so CockRoach took the opportunity to mention that he would host the first 2013 run from Arizona Grill. WetDream also being conveniently awakened by the ‘ALL GMs’ call was asked to say a few words. Bravely overcoming his well known reluctance to be centre stage, he thanked the MisManagers for the regular, ordered and well publicised MMC meetings, as well as thanking them for the many weekend away runs arranged during the year. The GM and the RA were invited back into the circle and saluted with a Safari downdown each.

Having got Shaggy in, he was left to take over proceedings, which included GaryGlitter redesigning gateposts, BadLuckBitch and JustDeborah for sex OTH, and SirLanceAlot and SwissArmyWife for being dead ringers (no idea why I wrote that, maybe you remember).

After a premiere of ‘Äway on a Dar Hash’ (allegedly but unconvincingly sung to the tune of Away in a Manger), the returnees BananasInPajamas (with two working legs after a motorcycle incident), EnemaQueen after a sojourn in Bagamoyo, and Hitler after ... enemy action? were noticed to be back in the circle. Somehow this caused two bottles of bubbly to be popped and countercirculated whilst the circle attempted AuldLangSyne .. not a pretty sight .. more swigging than jigging.

JustDeborah was understandably excited at the prospect of being presented with a hash name but then cruelly let down after the lengthy list of offered monikers were deemed too blase and unfitting .. to be resumed at a later circle, ruled the GM. However, as the food was still in Gasper’s car somewhere nearby, the CockRoach decided that JustLindsey should be similarly provoked. After some deliberation it was democratically decided that she should give up her bland and boring current name for something with class which would reflect her deep intellectual attitude to life and our total respect for her. Having been informed of her loathing of roaches, drink a Welcome to CockaHolic.

The HashShit was contested between BayWatch, LittleMG and CockRoach (WetDream insisted that as Babu he’s entitled to propose the GM). WD gave the explanation that his nomination was that the highest honour should go to the GM in recognition of the outstanding leadership and organisational ability shown during 2012. This was resoundingly thirded fourthed and fifthed by the circle and CockRoach was so honoured.

On the subject of organisation, despite starting at 5.15pm and the best of intentions, the circle still took over an hour ... but we had to wait for the food .... SLSC led to a feast for the hungry (for those who are used to eating early or were slipping in a snack to keep them going until midnight revels).
New Year’s resolution = hash diligently and honestly every week ... unless offered a real life.
