Saigon Hash next run 1561

Hello ,

Our next Run 1561 Going Down Easy to Reach Rock Bottom

Day:  Sunday  Date: 2/8/2020

This week’s run will be a fast and furious trail through along shaded tracks, beside and across flowing rivers and around beautiful lakes. There will be rough undergrowth particularly at the start so don't forget to pull your socks up. For those of you lacking in the sock department long socks can be purchased on the bus ride out. The hares for this run are Rock Bottom and Down Easy. We will also be bidding adieu to couple of our regular hashers (flights allowing), so make sure you join us for this fun afternoon.

Make sure you are at  the Caravelle before 2 pm (14h00) or you will find that the bus has already left. There will be a D2 pickup from two bus stops along the south side of the Hanoi Highway, one opposite the Thao Dien Rd. and the other in front of Estella Heights. Bus arrives there at about 2.15 pm so aim to be there before 2:10 pm (14:10).

News from your GM

Last Saturday was another successful run through some beautiful countryside with a very early beer stop to ensure everyone made it. The party afterward was a lot of fun with the Hashers taking over the dance floor and the microphone as we celebrated the departure of ICLL. Unfortunately the GM missed the speeches as she was stuck in the lift. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hares Miss Saigon and I Choked Linda Lovelace for the trail, and Sticky Stigma for prevent me for keeping me company though my lift ordeal.

The 30th Birthday run is fast approaching (22-23 August) so please remember to save the date. The schedule has yet to be finalised, in true mismanagement style, however the basic outline is as follows. On Friday night the Harriettes, having decided that they can be bothered, will set a run in D2. On Saturday afternoon the bus will pick hashers up from the Caravelle and D2 and take us to Dong Nai for an amazing trail set by Turn Off and Shithouse. On Saturday evening the celebration will continue at a secret location. On Sunday there will be a recovery run set by Fukcoffee and Sexy Eyes,  with hashers making their own way to the start point followed by an On On at a restaurant at the run site. On Monday night the regular Monday Hash House harriers will welcome all Saigon Hashers who still have more running in them. 

As ICLL is all set to fly home to the UK we will be looking for a new Hash Haberdash. If you are interested in taking on this role please let me know or send an email to saigonmmc@gmail.com.

For those of you keen to learn the songs please check out our song sheet here,  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D6A_G0Z-D_VqzriVphQW-t7H_LfhOnfJ/view?usp=sharing.

That's all for this week,

Thanks to our Sponsors

We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and in turn ask our hashers to support them.

All current, past and future Hashers and their guests are welcome to the Hash Hump. There are two of these amazing events to attend every week:

• Every TUESDAY in District 1, at  In Saigong's rooftop bar, 29 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, from 18h (6 pm) until .... Beautiful sky, cold beer and discussions of the day with fellow hashers.
• Every WEDNESDAY in District 2, at Le Bacoulos, 13 Tong Huu Dinh. Start at 17h (5 pm) until....... Cold drinks and good food at decent prices.

The Hump is a Saigon Hash event, designed to break the long period between Hash runs. There are no rules, so you can call Hashers by their name or Hash handle, drink with your left hand or right hand, stand or sit in a circle, semi-circle, ellipse or square and no need to sit on ice if you arrive after the started start time. In short, the Hump will be easy and relaxed and everybody is welcome.

Last week's Run Report

Run 1560  The I Choked Linda Lovelace to Miss Saigon Run

Date: Saturday 25th July

Location: Dong Nai (Long Thanh)

The Bus was unable to leave at 2pm sharp from Caravelle because we were held up waiting for Dorothy. However, the journey was greatly enjoyed by all as Runny Yolk and Gobbler sang the Vietnamese song sent around by Happy Flasher. Everyone loved their singing and wished that they, too, had opened the link sent on the Facebook page so that they could join in. Maybe next week?

The Virgins were welcomed and then we all set off for our Hash Walk or Hash Run.

Joe- a visiting returner from Azerbaijan who had last hashed there in 2008 and couldn’t even remember his Hash name thought the whole thing was a bit “trippy”. (I don’t know what kind of food he was eating at the pot luck. Were there shrooms?) He was joined at the down down by the very drunken driver who kept driving up and down-down the road. Dorothy loved the shady run and thought that the paper trail was easy to follow but then admitted to being pissed at the very early (1.8km) beer stop. The total score came to -4.5.

The Virgins were invited into the circle and told the etiquette. Adrian from Argentina- ( where the Pope comes from)-Yan - from here but lives in Brazil; Mun- Moon?- ; Anh- who joked that she was looking for men- but then she saw the Hashers; Hyung- spy from Hanoi- (was she at the football on Friday night? HCMC vs Hanoi?? ) Anh from Saigon- Wanker Banker made  them all come and wasn’t there herself but will no doubt be charged with Group Sex when she returns. Flusher was well jel. 

Returner this week was Joe - see notes above - he was iced for wearing a hat in the circle. 

Charges

Dorothy found a discarded water bottle on the trial and charged Runny Yolk with littering. Deciballs called in the Hares. If paper laying is directly in proportion to the size of one’s willy, one of them is lying. One of them spread liberally and the other was a mean bastard-the charge was over-compensation. 

Peckerhead called in the hares for the ridiculously early beer stop and charged them with spoiling a beer stop and a run. Dorothy was of course charged with keeping the bus waiting. 2pm is 2pm. Get there at 1.45. Fuckoffee charged Gobbler with sex tourism. Having asked a perfectly civilised question “Where have you been?” the accused replied ”Where haven’t I been? Nod nod, wink wink). Flusher was called in, too. 

Bukaki Kid can now give a good blow- after tuition from Sexy Eyes. Runny Yolk called in the Hares for inappropriate use of paper when she should have been charged for not bloody listening. 

Shithouse charged Mr Purple with sitting down in the circle like a little old white haired woman- and Con Purple manfully sat on the ice. Fuckoffee charged the Dutch with being the “whingey arses” in the EU now that GB may or may not have left. Apparently they do not want to subsidize Greece or Spain but wise old Shithouse pointed out they do that every summer anyhow. 

Sore Arse called in the about to leave I Choked Linda Lovelace and presented a card signed by the Hashers and a beautifully decorated toilet roll.
