Saigon Hash next run ????

Hello ,

Our next Run1557: American Independence day

Day: Sunday  Date: 05/07/2020

The hares for this week’s run will be Runny Yolk and Shithouse. After giving up Nieuw Amsterdam to the British for a million pounds, who immediately changed the name to New York, the Dutch will reclaim their historic position with hares Runny Yolk and Shithouse setting the American Independence run in the Wild East of District 9.

It is only a short ride from Saigon to the runsite, but Runny Yolk still managed to get her rear tyre punctured 3x, probably from the last American hold-outs in the area who were training their hunting rifles on her unsuspecting rear wheel.

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

A number of Saigon hashers turned up on the Binh Duong Hash on Saturday and experiences an amazing trail thanks the the hares Down Easy and In and Out. I know the names are very familiar bit on this occasion our colleagues were Binh Duong hares. The Saigon hashers were made to feel very welcome, in fact it almost felt as of we were at our home kennel. This extended into the evening with the local haunts of that infamous Hasher Broken Seal being visited. The hashers dashed between bars as breaks in the rainstrorm permitted. On Sunday we discovered we had lost some Saigon hashers along the way but luckily the bus arrived with reinforcements and the hash set off on a great Saigon hash run. You can read more about this below.

The Americans are currently so busy denying the fact that they are american that we have had to turn to one of the parent nations to set the American run. Luckily the Dutch are not feeling quite as embarrassed about the legacy of their empire and have stepped into the breach. I look forward to seeing you all on the run this Sunday. 

With our 30th Birthday rapidly approaching we are looking for an interesting and initiative design for a birthday T shirt. Please send your ideas to saigonmmc@gmail.com.

That's all for this week,

Last week's Run Report

Run Report 1556

Sunday 28th June 2020

Losing Hare Run

Location:Binh Duong way

Half the Hashers were recovering from a hard day’s hashing on what might be  Run 1556. So the bus left promptly  from the Caravelle  with loads of leg room- and very witty conversation. 

Hares: Broken Seal and the Invisible Virgin Henry. So Sexy Eyes  led the walk. Low Maintenance loved the creepy forest and the rain as it reminded her of  British Summer’s Day. WEll a whole summer, really- that’s what we’re not missing. (-5) No F****ing Eye Deer, ran 8km in the dark first and was scared to get lost so she ran a PB- (-15) 

SE has finished work for the summer and so put beads on a thread like some sort of therapy for people with psychological disorders- She made some clever words-Flusher, Sonic Boom Boom and No Fucking Eye Deer and was so happy that she gave them to her friends. 

RA- Broken Seal  welcomed the Virgin- Emily from Somerset (she’s a Hasher through and through)- was drinking with the pissheads from Saturday’s run and decided to join us today.

Lots of sensible people wore hats to keep the Scribe notes dry for example- but we were mocked and abused for being just a bit more savvy than the drippy ones. 

Deciballs was impressed that Virgin Emily loves Vietnamse culture and artefacts and so he was distraught when she vandalised a 2,000 year old piece  of sacred architecture. 

Broken Seal was iced for losing his Hare and four Hashers plus the one who went to look for the four. LOSER! At this very moment, our hero, Down Easy returned with four (pretty disgruntled) Hashers. Shithouse presented In and Out with a 25 runs t-shirt for her 27 runs. Runny Yolk charged The Flusher for being an exibitionist (more on this theme later) and sexually frustrated as he can’t help but talk sex all the fucking time. In a revenge charge, Flusher accused RY and Tootsie Robinson with being short cutting bastards. And for not being around next weekend for the July 4th Run which will be led by the Dutch, who after all got to the US ages ago and then passed it off to the Brits, Tootsie, Tastes Great and Inspector Gobshite were all held accountable with Tastes Great suggesting that it would be unwise to admit coming from “that country!”.

GM got on her bike and left us to return all on our own on the bus where Mrs Deciballs showed Flusher what “exhibitionism” really is. (You had to be there!)

Gobbler- signing off!

With thanks to the umbrella holder.
