News from your GM Just fresh from Chiang Mai where the Mekong Inter-Hash was held, Sloe Gin and I have been preparing the trail and party for our annual Red Dress run. If you were not there last year, you should know that every hasher, male and female, queer or straight, shall wear a red dress, in the bus, on the run and during the circle. So dresses should be practical enough to run in, yet sexy enough to let you have a chance to be elected Miss Saigon 2019. At special request of the non-American hashers, Donald Trump will not be sitting on the evaluation committee. It's only after the circle that you can take off your dress or, if you want, get it soaked in Rainman's swimming pool right next to the river. The Hash Hump (see below) started a Whatsapp group to convey news about the Hump quickly. We will now use it for instant communication on all Hash matters.

Thanks to our Sponsors We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and in turn ask our hashers to support them. Our next Run #1535: Red Dress Run This week’s run 1535 will be the annual Red Dress Run. Get your Red Dress out of the moth balls, or get your tailor to work on it, to have at least a minimal chance of being elected Miss Saigon 2019. This is the once per year donation opportunity for hashers. So, bring extra money above your normal run fee, for the Saigon Children charity. Make sure you are at the Caravelle on time, well before 2 pm (14h00). There will be a D2 pickup from selected bus stops along the south side of the Hanoi Highway.

Last week's Run Run 1534 The Shit house For Rent Run The hares for this run were Shithouse and For Rent. A mixed band of Hashers headed out on the expressway and straight into a traffic jam. Once the accident was negotiated the speed increased but an inordinate number of enormous lorries on tiny roads ensured that the A,site was not reached until 3:40 pm. The journey took so long that many felt they must already be in Cambodia. Once again Drives me Nuts paid with a 500,000 vnd note causing the Hash Cash to scramble around for change and earning himself the title of the richest driver in Saigon. Undeterred the Hashers circled up and then headed off in search of paper. The trail was beautiful with river crossings, bulls, plantations, wilderness, bulls maize fields, dogs, chickens and you guessed it more bulls. The front runners were heard continually complaining about the small picks they got. Sachi caught a chick for dinner but then dropped it as she decided it was too small. In an unusual turn of events the walkers had to do a water crossing instead of the runners, it soon became clear why this the purview of the runners. The walkers approached the water crossing with such trepidation, carefully balancing from rock to rock, that you would have thought it was a bottomless river rather than a small stream less than 1 cm deep! Happy Flasher and For Rent then blew off a local, he got more than he counted on when he came to say hi, recognising the bunch of reprobates who have often used his house for a beer stop. With the squealing pigs, irritating irrigation machines and inordinate number of bulls it was a typical Saigon trail. The Gobbler reported that it was a load of bull, but she appreciated the shortcuts and gave a score of -4. Mary Poppins was dismayed that 2 potential beer stops had been bypassed but was reassured by the fact that as always the walkers got lost. She gave a score of -5, making the overall score -4.5. The virgins for this run were Ken from the UK who used the Internet to come and Ethna from Ireland via Hong Kong who came with the help of Mary Poppins. The returnees were Miss Saigon who has been at home, Dodgy Banger and Invade My Date who have been in Australia, and Mary Poppins who has been off spying but returned last week when she heard that there would be a Hariettes run. Tootsie Robinson was then awarded his virgin hareset T shirt from last week, and he took it off and put it on much to the delight of the female hashers. It was also the birthday of Full Package and as she had bought a cake the circle felt that it was only appropriate that the traditional birthday serenade should be sung. Then it was back onto the bus for a jolly trip back to Saigon.
That's all for this week. Sexy Eyes signing off.
