814	Aug 4, 2012	Ivan’s Hash Run and a Dick (Ivan, Don, Ashe, Terrence, Joshua and Pradeep)	North Manzanilla	Little Miss Muffet

So, the sun came out in time for us to start the run and appropriately so! Yippee! After all, we’re at Manzanilla Beach. We are even being hosted at a nice beach house, “Oh, so civilized”, with a pool and real toilets and everything the way I like it! Oops, gave myself away! Oh well, truth be known, I am more of a “Sex in the City” girl, than the outdoorsy, nature type, who is comfortable in hiking boots and dirt. In fact, truth be known, I don’t like dirt, I don’t like to be dirty, I don’t like bugs, snakes or any of that $*%# and I am frankly most comfortable in a beautiful dress and stilettoes! BUT, I do always love a good challenge! Today, I am pretending I am in the Hamptons. I almost forget that I am at a Hash in TNT with a bunch of drunkardsJ who are pretending that they like to run! A lot of people seemed to have shown up too, for Mr. Adventure’s Hash! Just when I start to relax around the pool, chatting with my little friend Ross and company, the group is called to order by the Head Hare and he introduces us to his harem.

Ivan tells us the usual lies, “no mud, no hills, not very long…” etc. … and, we are sent off. The hash started out with the usual shenanigans, up the hill, back down the hill and into the bush, wait around the parking lot, oh, we’re off again… ok, so, now it’s on…on, now it’s not…. We slide down a few bare, muddy hills, run through some bush and after a while, I am thinking, well “this isn’t so bad at all, we must be almost done by now”! I start to congratulate myself silently thanking the heavens that once again, I managed to say off my ass and relatively clean and unwounded. The last hill was a bit treacherous and I did have Robin trailing me; with me shouting to him, “go away, I don’t want you falling on me…” BUT, IT WAS NOT SO!!! Off in the distance, as we get out of the bush, I spotted a Hare, Diane’s son, Joshua, in his little shorts as he was giving directions to a small group gathered before what appears to be a swamp! Ok, so as you must have noted: I am decidedly NOT a good candidate for “swamping it”. I can stand the prospect of having to figure out a way down a slippery, muddy, steep hill with no footholds or running through dense bush or a steep climb, but swamps are definitely not my strong suit! I see that muddy water and my mind gets to racing… snakes are all my mind can conjure up! Although my panic button was about to go off, I pay close attention to Joshua as he takes off through the swamp, barely skimming the mud as he disappears in a flash, leaving us all far behind. As he leaves us behind, I luckily caught his parting words, “try to stay on your toes, so you don’t loose your shoes”!

I think, “Well, I don’t like the sound of that at all” but, I mutter to myself, “I can do that, I can stay on my toes…” I take a small bit of pleasure from the fact that right behind me is Mumtaz, yup, the Iron Lady herself. After trudging through the muck for awhile, I hear her say, “girl, I don’t like this swamp business at tall, you?! I am decidedly not up for conversation right about now, but I utter a few unseemly phrases and go back to concentrating on the task at hand! A little while later, Iron Lady speaks again. This time, it sounded more like a whimper! “Girl, I don’t like no swamp. Tell meh when we out of here!” “We eh outta here yet??!” I cannot even turn around to look at her, but I am thinking, what??? Iron Lady??? “You must want to be POUFTAH real”?

Finally, after what seems like an eternity, the swamp came to an end as abruptly as it started and not a moment too soon! BUT, still no “ON IN” in sight! It STILL was not over!!! After more running (with the pulsating music of a neighborhood bar to fill our heads), we came to the crashing waves of the ocean and a moment of pure bliss. At least we had a little reprieve; we were allowed to wash the past hour’s muck off in the ocean, before heading “ON IN” to a delightful evening at the lovely beach house; where I am happy to report the Hashers toasted Harold and his new bride, tried to name his son Ross as Pouftah and eventually got Mumtaz to acquiesce that she was the true Pouftah of the day. Although no one would explain exactly why AND, Of course, no nasty t-shirt or diaper was to be seen on the sexy lady. And, btw, Mrs. Iron Lady, I did not rat you out!

Great run! Loved it! A fantastic job was done by Mr. Adventure and his Harem!

From the Office of the Iron Lady (Together we aspire, together we achieve)

This run was set by The Casual boys and the CEO of the Dicks (Pradeep) and the jersey had Ivans run, whatever the arrangement, together they aspired and perspired to set this run in North Manzanilla. Great run site venue, good parking, good food but still not up to the standard of Run of the Year. The Hike Master, Ivan likes to set his runs in places that have history or a story so he say that Manzanilla is a Spanish word for little apple. When the Spanish ruled Trinidad, they noticed lots of poisonous Manchineel Trees lining that Northern Headland of which the fruit from this tree resembles an apple. Hence the reason for the name Manzanilla.Today these trees can still be found in certain parts of North Manzanilla but not many in East Manzanilla.This is due to the cultivation of that “exotic” or {import by accident} coconut palm which adorns the Eastern to Southern Eastern Coast Line. So this lovely area was the site for the run of the year, but all I remember is the swamp, they say men have balls, but it was D balls ah didn’t know ah had that got me out of that never ending yuckeyness. The after lime at Dougies Bar was fabulous, could you believe at midnight Marguerite, Roxanne, Marita, Giselle, The Minute Maid Girls, Party Animal, Janine, Misha, Numbnuts wife, the Iron Lady and the guys were partying strong. Ivan we still waiting for the run of the year, it could be Tobago.

Poofter nominees: Ross (harold’s son) for wanting to have serious talk with the person who set the run (he complained about the mud) Harold for having his son complain about mud on the run and Arthur for nominating Ross for Poofter (for no reason), so those were the nominees and then a broad mouth casual called butcher nominated the Iron Lady because I shared their conversation about designing the perfect pussy.

813	Jul 21, 2012	Doon, Peter and Doon’s son	Santa Cruz	Husband of Hairy Thing

So Run 813! In the days leading up to the run I watched the skies with trepid concern from the amount of rainfall! Yes I know it is the rainy season but still fairly new to this outdoor pursuit, I do so love a dry run. The run is at Santa Cruz in Saddle Grove and the lovely Aerorina was very generous with the use of her house and grounds! Mountain Goats set the run and Doon, his son and Peter gave us the lowdown on the hash of the day. Ashe looked un-coordinated in his probably expensive coloured attire, whilst Betty was coordinated in her attire from trainers upwards. In orange and blue she did stand out a bit, but we are talking about Betty right!! When we started there was all sorts of ‘ Oh Bacchanal’ as we tried to find the first paper trail. To be fair it had been simply set, just that we had many turn backs before we found it with the front runners dashing off here and then there. Me, I just walked in the general crowd and waited for the racing snakes to get it ‘ON ON’. We knew that the trail being set by the Mountain Goats was going to involve a ‘mountain’ at some point especially from where we set off and they did not disappoint, in fact it was virtually straight away. Nice scenery though (I am talking about the countryside and not the female sort, though there was plenty of that too!) The stream that we followed was not too steep initially but there were some slippery rocks. It became even steeper and more slippery as we ascended and, even I ended up on my arse. I am sure that many were thankful for the numerous vines and saplings that helped us up, and down this mountain. I did hear a nice young lady next to me suggest that she could swing down on the vines!! There was a tree with he name on it if she had tried. The river was refreshing and unlike some runs not deep. Not complaining just an observation! Then came the road run.

I was somewhere in the middle of the hash running alongside my good lady wife and we managed to stay about there for the whole run. The one observation by me, and complaints by others especially at the ‘Down Down’ was that there was ‘too much road’ The Iron Lady tried with the sound system at the Down Down but ended up using her own. ‘New Shoes’ were Kevin, Roxy and one other whose name escapes me. Ashe was berated for his previous lost key on Run 812 and declared a nominated ‘Poofter’ for the remaining year! The most entertaining event however was Colin’s skit that neither the photos you may see, nor I can do justice! Suffice to say it was rib tickling! The lime was good with some nice fish and chicken provisions. Richard provided the music on the road at the end courtesy of his Pimp Mobile as we went deeper into Santa Cruz to find a local bar and lime’d some more! Bring on 814, ON ON!!!

From the Office of the Iron Lady

Poofter nominees: Suresh for bringing virgins to the run and forgetting to bring is hash clothes (he had to run in his scrubs). David Richardson a new hasher looks at Haniff and asked, are you a virgin? Then there is Ashe who lost his car keys for the 3rd time for the year at a hash and had hashers looking for his keys for over an hour at the last run, his keys was found where he keeps is precious jewels (in his pants). Poofter awarded to Ashe.

Hash Naming: Ashe Holder would now be known as Dickey
