Our next Run 1558 The Orange Bastille Run Day: Sunday Date: 12/07/2020 This hash will be held in An Son, Binh Duong and is close to the city. Enjoy the lovely pathways, canals, orchards, flower gardens, and woodland. Great for both runners and walkers.
Hares: Wanker Banker (Virgin Hare); Sexy Eyes (A sort of Virgin); and Paddy Fag (Virgin on the ridiculous).
We are celebrating the Battle of the Boyne (1690) and Bastille Day (1789) involving the Dutch, Scottish, Irish, English, and French. So plenty of whiskey and wine expected.
Orange clothing is mandatory or blue if you are French.
Make sure you are at the Caravelle before 2 pm (14h00) or you will find that the bus has already left. There will also be pick ups a pick up for those in D2 at the circle of death (click here for details) an a pick up at Bexamex (click here for details) for those already in Binh Duong. News from your GM It was a very soggy but enthusiastic group of hashers who wound their way through the beautiful forests of Quan 9 last Sunday. There were plenty of obstacles to challenge us, the GM ended up in a lake up to her thighs trying to avoid the slippery muddy slope and we though that Mr Purple might be permanently stuck in the ditch. Luckily team work saw all hashers arrive safety at the bus. The walkers were supported by Taste Great who decided that he should keep looping back just to make sure we were safely on the trail, allegations that he was just running in circles seem unfounded. Thanks go to our hares Shithouse and Runny Yolk for providing the trail, a clever ruse by Shithouse and Full package also resulted in a temporary American hare on the American Independence Day run in the form of Inspector Gobshite. The GM panicked when she realised her scribe Gobbler was AWOL and ended up appointing 2 scribes so you will be treated to two run reports which can be found below. The first is by the world famous investigative journalist Sonic Boom Boom (is this our first report in Vietnamese?) and the second sees the return of the ever popular Sore Arse to the temporary role of scribe. The Hash will soon be turning 30 so a birthday celebration weekend is being planned for the 21 - 23 August so please save this date in your diaries. I look forward to seeing you all on our run on Sunday. Please remember to wear orange, if your don't already have an orange hash shirt you can always buy one on the bus on the way up.

The Saigon Hash Hump
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:
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. Join the WhatsApp group (see above in this Newsletter) if you want to receive all last minute Hump info. Last week's Run Report Run 1557 The American Independence Day Run CHÀO MỪNG LẦN CHẠY MỘT NĂM NĂM BẢY! Tưởng rằng sẽ “dạo chơi” trên Đường Mòn Khô và Đẹp, Full Package tưởng mình chưn trâu nên chỉ mang dép lào chả cần mang giày chống trượt. Một Hasher khác bị thương khớp vai hăng hái tham gia lần chạy Ngày Độc Lập Hoa Kỳ. Nhưng cơn mưa lớn và dai dẳng đã biến Đường Mòn Khô và Đẹp thành Con Đường Trơn và Ướt! Happy Flasher - bị thương vai, xin được ngủ trên xe bus để chào mừng Ngày Độc Lập Hoa Kỳ. (Let’s put her on ice next time, right?) Full Package rớt đài ngay từ cú nhảy đầu tiên do đau ngón cái và phải mang dép, just right when she got wet, không nhảy qua được cái mương đầu tiên, dù Shithouse giúp sức tận tình but he could not make her come, nàng đành trở về xe bus. Tuy Trơn và Ướt - slippery and wet - nhưng Con Đường Mòn rất Đẹp và Hoang Dã và Không Cá Sấu y như lời quảng cáo của The Hares. Tuy độ dốc không cao, nhưng đường mòn cứ lên rồi xuống, xuyên qua đồi cây chằng chịt, rồi lại xuống những ruộng cỏ ngập nước, chạy ven theo nhiều bờ hồ, mà trên hồ có ngư ông chèo thuyền lưới cá! (SBB means so many ups and downs, ins and outs, and all the hashers all got wet before they got hot) Nhiều mương sâu có thân cây bắc ngang làm “cầu” nhưng đã mục, Hashers phải nắm tay nhau để nhảy qua mương, hoặc bị té xuống mương như Sonic Boom Boom vì quá nặng cân! (Luckily he did not break any bridges, otherwise he will need a new hash name) Vài dòng về lịch sử cái Cồn lần này: Đường Mòn Trơn và Ướt nhưng Hoang Dã và Tuyệt Đẹp của Lần Chạy 1557 nằm ở phía Đông Nam ngọn Đồi Viễn. Đồi Viễn cao 30 mét (10 feet) so với mực nước biển. Đồi Viễn nằm cạnh Quốc lộ 1A, cách ngọn Năm 1954, bác sĩ Bùi Kiển Tín mua 30 ha trên Đồi Viễn để làm vườn ươm giống cây khuynh diệp (Eucalyptus) nhập từ nước Pháp về chiết xuất ra tinh dầu, làm nguyên liệu bào chế “Dầu Khuynh Diệp Bác Sĩ Tín”. Nên Đồi Viễn còn được gọi là Đồi Bác Sĩ Tín. Trước năm 1975, bác sĩ Tín đã xây Xá Lợi Phật Đài trên Đồi Viễn. Năm 2002, TP HCM đã khởi công xây Công Viên Lịch Sử - Văn Hóa Dân Tộc và Khu Tưởng Niệm Các Vua Hùng trên Đồi Viễn. Phía Đông triền Đồi Viễn, Đài Tưởng Niệm Thành Hầu Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh (Người khai phá đất Biên Hòa, Sài Gòn) đang được xây dựng. Lần Chạy 1557 qua một vùng hoang dã, phong cảnh hữu tình, có nhiều di tích, nhưng gần trung tâm Sài Gòn đã gây ấn tượng tuyệt vời!
On on, Sonic Boom Boom Running Hare: Runny Yolk; Walking Hare: Shit House Run Report: Turn Off Walk Report: Creamy Tulips Paddy Fag was brought in to report on his version of the run, saying it was a lonely run full of dead people. He just wanted an excuse for going through the cemetery and give it a score of -9. If I were to add ALL the scores together, I think I would come uo with a nice -20.75 / -41.5
Paddy Fag Welcomed the virgins, Dorothy and her sister Rindy, both who came Charges: Paddy Fag continued to bring in Tastes Great and Finger In to congratulate the Happy ‘newly wed’ couple for tying the knot. So when’s the baby out? Sexy Eyes charged Inspector Gobshite, Shit House and Full Package. First of all Inspector Gobshite, an American couldn’t set the trail for American Independence day, leaving Shit House to set the walk trail. Unfortunately Shit House had to carry Full Package back to the bus and leave the walkers to fend for themselves leaving Inspector Gobshite to become the American HARE. Does the HASH ever go to plan? Fukcoffee Charged Shit House for not wearing his usual orange T-shirt as a Dutchman. Deciballs charged Bukake Kid for carrying his backpack on the run and having Sexy Eyes showing him how to ‘blow’. Paddy Fag brought in Bukake Kid, Dorothy and Rindy to explain to the two femal virgins the meaning of “Bukake”. Sore Arse charged Inspector Gobshite for unplugging the Caravelle laptop in order to charge his mobile phone and when the hotel attendant told him where to charge his phone, Inspector Gobshite explained that he wouldn’t be able to see his phone. The lovely, polite and courteous Vietnamese hotel attendant then left Inspector Gobshite to his own device. That was lucky. Sore Arse also charged Tastes Great for being a Front Running Bastard and trying to question Shit House’s (the HARE) judgement of the trail, claiming he had already been in that directions and kept going round in circles. - The HARE’s always right! Runny Yolk charged Deciballs for complaining about the run, saying there was paper and then running away from the paper. WTF! Shit House charged Turn Off, who never seems to get charged, for not wearing the yellow T-shirt he always wears. Apparently the HASHERS follow Turn Off for his yellow T-shit. He is a popular guy though. Paddy Fag brought Tasted Great and Finger In back to the circle, letting curiosity get the better of him and asked Finger In if Tastes Great really did TASTE GREAT. - No comment! Fukcoffee charged Just Add Beer for getting his pants filled with ants – Ouch! Naming: Next Week’s Run:
