RUN: #832
SITE: Moora Dam, Penal
HARES: Nico, Andre, Tiza
SCRIBE: Guess

Well….the anticipation of what kind of turnout and who going to the hash was on my mind as I started to do the Saturday routine to prepare for the hash. Calling around to make sure that all is set with the hares, bar and the HHH signs. And me…..it take couple hours to get prepared with he down downs items making sure all is on board to give a good fix to those in need for a good punishment.

I got a call to say that an old hasher is in town but could not find any of her old hash friends going to the hash so I accepted the invitation to give her a ride and so I journeyed to St. James to pick her up and it was a delighted site and a pleasure to have her accompany me to Penal, it made the journey such a pleasure talking about hash and other topic that were mutual. The time given was one hour and forty five minutes but with no traffic, it took just over an hour so most people was at the site very early. The anchor spot was a huge blue bar on the Penal main road with quite a huge car park making it easy to us……we took over the car park and I was wandering where his customers would park but the owner was very accommodating……yes its south, can’t happen in north a hasher commented. Gosh, it so hot! …….ah hope it have trees to shelter us during the run and that type of comments. everyone had enough time to settle down and out came a hare with bunny rabbit wear with a cleaver note at the back of the underwear that had the cameras flashing and the men commenting.

The hash was called to order and the hares were introduced and did the briefing and we were on our way even though the hares could not complete the briefing but in true hashers style….”why are we waiting” and so we were off. It was a road run for the first 200 meters and a right turn into an old sand pit with the heat of the sand making it a difficult start coupled with an early long back check. We had to turn back and head right into the trails but not without a bull having to secure his range by running after anyone who came close ” oh gosh, watch out….the bull coming” and so they scamper to get around that first obstacle. Up and about and the pleasant site of the Dam….” Look we reach the Dam….we should stay here” a few hashers commented but it was over the dam and around it but…….we reach the On On In? and yes it was but we knew that was the wrong way. “This place have bulls” and “look out, ah nex bull coming” and it was one female hasher who nearly got butt but the bull hesitated “you lucky is not a man”…..again, we had to pass around. The trails were pretty good with enough space to get by the slower ones. “Oh shit” with hands on waist, stups and wet, a few new comers catching their “nen nen” as they thought it was a run over but far from it. They started to walk and kept up with the middle pack….”them hashers good yeh” ……as some of the aged hashers pass them like a bus heading south on the highway. “Boy…I had too much to drink last night…..oh gosh….it was too hot…..ah did not pace myself…..the last hill caught me” were some of the excuses from the se youngsters. The walkers seems to have fun….a cool and relaxing walk for them. It was about 5.5 miles in one and a half hours for the front pack and two hours for the rest who did the full trail. It was a good sweat……but hot and humid.

The food seems to be a hit…”leh me go and get meh money and get the curry early before it finish” …..and so there was a line up so much so the price went up from an advertised $35.00 to $45.00 but no matter what, the food finished. The down down started allowing for hasher to freshen up, have a few and buy the curry. We had 12 virgins, consistent to the other hash and the HM called them but they had to eat an egg and then drink the beer…..fun…”oh sit…ah really have to do this?…..yes was the answer and supported by the hares and hard core hasher…..the down down for the virgins was done with some fun. The Poofter nomination was easy….the TT&TEC man Harold was a good nominee for the Easter Friday blackout and he also call two others working with TT&TEC but it was the Hare Andre seemed to get the nod from the hashers as he had the two HHH signs at the back of his van…..”First hash with no HHH directional sign” shouted some of the hashers and endorsed by the others in the loud and chanting….”Andre….Andre….Andre”. And then Spods and Texas Blow for holding hands and throwing colored power on fellow hashers to celebrate Pagwah. It was a tie, and Andre wore the dirty, wet stink Poofter shirt and drank the beer with the hand holding the beer in the PVC while spuds drink out of the boobs cup “boy drink from the nipple” he missed it….in experienced but will learn quickly and Texas Blow drank out of the potty.

The after lime was good after which some choose to support the bar and others headed to the famous Debe huts to do the traditional stuff, buy some Indian delicacies.

HASH MASTERS MIS-HASHCEPTION

It was great to see the loyal hashers back in full force enjoying the fun of the hash and supporting in their usual fashion to make a good hash. The site was very enjoyable a was indeed virgin territory as promised by Nico and he and his hares did a good job of utilization the terrain very well. It was a well-timed run with the good checks to include some nice back checks bringing the pack together. The down down was fun….off course, I enjoy doing it and engaging the hashers to be the judge. We were disappointed with the food prices moving from the agreed price from $35.00 to $45.00 when the demand was there, they took advantage of the situation….poor taste!…..anyway, we had fun, a good run and after lime and considering that it was Easter weekend, we had a very good turn out.
