Venue : 999 Kahama
Hosts : Tania and David
Hares : Bag’o’Bones, Panty Pockets, Tania

As the GM so succinctly put it at the start of the circle - welcome to the run after the last run. Having checked out the venue as the beer stop on Friday’s halloween run, the pack graciously confirmed that it had the necessary qualities for a full blown hash - plenty of space for the beer truck and room for a circle. So a fine turnout gathered to partake, and the well founded rumours of yet more good food had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Bag’o’Bones and PantyPockets swore thay set paper all the way around the trail, but having initially been led by the front hare and lost contact with any trail, the FRBs then picked a route to the beer stop for the rest of the runners to follow, whereas shortcutting WetDream and Ben claimed they were on paper all the way - some chance, especially as the beer stop was outside WetDreams house.

WetDream opened the circle with two witches chatting in the circle, as a prelude to the ‘mismanager of note’ LateCummer, who had arranged the Halloween hash with every aspect not quite as intended.

Tania was displayed and described (as inspiration to the pack in the search for a suitable name) whilst she and the other hares were rewarded for their efforts. Ben described the run as ‘loopy’ despite having blatantly shortcutted with the GM, and BeggingForIt was offered the walk synopsis but admitted that she arrived at the beerstop by car!

Trailmaster Boxer had done another runner before the circle, so FrozenScrotum stood in as his lookalike whilst the GM announced that next weeks run will be from BothWays house.

And finally BeggingForIt had a spot ... to beg for tangible ‘things’. She proposed that the hash should emulate the biker clubs and collect gifts before Christmas and distribute them to a deserving community. The circle welcomed the concept and details are to be worked out.

In his role as Hash Ass everything, NeanderShorter took on the mantle of RA for the evening and started in as he meant to continue, with a confusing concoction of anarchists who had designs on blowing up parliament in some distant land on this date. The RA being an FRB, the hares were recalled to be chastised for lack of paper - giving the excuse for ‘Ou est le papier’ - before he moved on to the six returnees and the poor standard of singing from a harriette corner of the circle. The harriettes excelled themselves in the centre, being so discordant and screechy that Tania’s tame rabbit dropped it’s ears and hid it’s head under a bush at the caterwauling of strangling felines. BoogieBoobs valiant attempts to bring attention to the RA’s sins were dismissed with the connivance of the GM, so Jason from SA, Tim from UK and Katerina from Argentina were welcomed as DHHH virgins before Kim and Gavin were brought to the RA’s attention by Tania, for undisguised hand holding and blatant sexual antics during the walk. The RA had them attempting to act out the activities as described by Tania, which proved to be virtually impossible if they were to ever move forward, so they were chastised, and Tania was given a deserving downdown for snitching on them.

Having warned the circle of one potential naming, the RA also decided that Ben and Joanna should be offered up to the whim of the circle because they had conspicuosly hashed in recent months, and asked for ideas. Multiple proposals led to much confusion, but the outcome was that acclamation was received for Joanna to be RollHerOver, Ben became DogsBollocks, and Tania should be recognised as ChickenLicking. And they were so annointed with a sprinkling of specially brewed and warmed holy Safari.

Food aromas had been wafting for some time and there was a distinct underswell of disgruntlement at the extended proceedings, but the circle still wanted to offer deserving nominations for a new HashShit. Incumbent Squirrel quickly disrobed and a continuation of the paperless trail debate caused contradictory proposals for Bag’o’Bones and NeanderShorty to be made. With the addition of ChickenLicking for chasing goats ?? and serving up pet rabbits as hash food, the field was closed and the GM led the democratic process in his normal style.

What a day for ChickenLicking, who scored a hat trick: as the host, with a proper name, and the HashShit regalia.

A very swift Swing Low with virgins and visitors concluded the circle, to allow the salivating circle to attack the simmering food, which fulfilled the flavoursome fancies of famished hashers ... and another beer ... and ice cream to round it off. Yeah.

BothWays last hash hosting experience was a noted for the number of drink stops she built into the trail. Don’t miss out next week in case she goes for a new record.
