Welcome to the first run of the year. The drive was cool and uneventful, till i turned into the forest and saw the mud and big puddles, however i was right behind Doon with his truck, and he seemed to know what he was doing, so i followed his line in my little Jitny and got thru OK. It seems this caused some problems for some later arrivals, but they were overcome eventually.The Big Dicks were well into their heavy drinking , as they do when i arrived, and I was immediately encouraged by Eggy to partake in a Rum and Soda or two or three. The choice of alcohol was only the best, with Johnnie Walker, Blue ,Green ,Gold ,and Black, Grey Goose Vodka and Eldorado 15 year old Rum on offer. Eggy has left us by now to take up a post in the Bahamas, but will be back when time permits, so i wish one of the Hash stalwarts good luck in the future and come back soon.Now who buyin de booze for de Dicks? As for these big Dicks, i hear only one is big , de others are small, and one of dem, only have one ball. I not going down dat road about de Pussy, who is the replacement for dear old Eggy.

Well Pradeep finally called us all to order, and away we went on the wide trails afforded by this forest. It was the usual on back on the first leg, and then we got stuck into some fairly decent stretches of running, which the trails allow. Many of us veteran Hashers know this forest quite well, and have set Hashes here over the years. If you go off trail, down the ravines and up the other side , it can add a bit of spice to the run , which is what they did.The run became all a bit confusing to me, although i am easily confused, and i think i only saw 3 checks and a couple of X’s.

However, I not complaining as i had a good sweat , and was not unduly challenged, as i ran with Hanif for a while and was able to have a chat. So good to see Hanif back running again , another stalwart who was missed last year.
A couple of times confusion reigned when the trail could not be found and Hashers milled around like lost sheep for long periods, but i suppose it helped the pack to all catch up again . I got caught twice like this and ended at the back, after all my hard work to stay in touch with the front runners. I eventually teamed up with Simon and we had a good chin wag whilst trotting along, and upon hearing voices to our right, we cut thru de bush off trail and met an X, and a guy running toward us. So we followed the paper back to the main trail and there was the front runners. Oh the changing fortunes of Hashing, we were back at the front again.

There was some decent stretches of running from here to the On In and we encountered a smallish Mapepire coiled up on the side of the trail. He seemed unconcerned by our presence, however i thought a few of the girls and kids who went near to him to have a closer look were taking a big chance. We finally hit the road and the On In and it was quite challenging, as the terrain was very undulating and a fairly long run in. There were plenty of individual battles going on for bragging rights on this part of the run and made it more fun. All in all a good work out. I cant say the same for the Hares, apart from Ricky Manette and very occasionally Sheldon , the rest of the Hares were only seen drink in hand at various junctions. Maybe that’s the new way.

The usual after Hash activities got going now . Catching up on the latest gossip and meeting old friends, talking over the latest Football scores from the UK, and quaffing cold beer.After the usual rituals of naming and shaming, and de Down Downs, it was off to Arena Junction for a lime. Music , more beer if you want it and
some good vitals. A great day out and cracking start to the new Hashing year. Keep it up all you Hares. ON ON.

Pradeep’s Energy

What a Hash it was, great company and lots of fun. It all boils down to the hashers, they are the ones responsible for making it enjoyable and adding the energy, excitement, anxiety and suspense. It was a great run indeed, lush terrain, good timing with the usual Big Dicks trademarks of long back checks. It was unfortunate when the hashers nominated the captain of the hares for pofter and he refused to accept, this added energy to the hashers calling on him over and over again but in good spirit another hare took the pofter on behalf of the hares. One thing stood out and should be continued by the hares and that was the tremendous support given to the local bar and food. I would also like to say THANKS to the people who continue to work quietly behind the scene to ensure everything is in place to have a good time, the organization of the lights, bar, garbage and the support during the down downs and those taking photos and notes and most of all…..all the hashers who continue to support. I would also like to wish Eggy all the best! …….ON ON.
Regards, Pradeep

Matura Mis-steps

Maybe we got so used to Reshmi, assassination, curfew, state of emergency and ‘silk’, that we thought government had copyright on ‘mis-steps’. But along come the Big Dicks who show us that they in this mis-steps thing too…………… whey! Like mas’ start in Matura!

First to begin….. was one bad and bumpy road in, looking like them moon pictures with plenty craters and feeling like a construction site with plenty big hole in the ground. The hares must apologise forthwith to all the pregnant women on this run who have now lost their babies. And they choose a turtle-watching option for us, but we didn’t see no turtles …….. was a set-up from the start! Don’t talk about mud in the parking field…. Is a good thing I leave my Porsche home.

Well, the Iron Lady call we, and we thought we got a short sentence……. But it was a long pre-amble by the loquacious Gerry, spokesman for the Big Dicks, a man with less mirth than girth. He lied, as hares so love to and mis-informed the pack of runners on what lay ahead, and we could see they were up to no good; ‘specially when we sniffed out and sensed the likely inebriation of the lot. Gerry’s volume did not disguise; in remorse and guilt about what they had done, the Big Dicks had taken to the bottle! We were being mis-led by alcohol-impaired misfits!

On, on! And the first mis-step was soon to follow…… the pack was mis-directed and deliberately sent to the beach: left, right, front…… no, it was behind, so turn back. Of course, it had to be the opposite direction, just the way we were going before the mis-leading intentions of the Big Dicks came to light.

Soon, it was into the forest….. trekking through the bush, up this incline and down that other, till some congregation of hashers occurred. Must have been what the prized four-legged possessions of Numbnuts and Dave Esdale had been waiting for: spectators and audience…. Dogfight start! Bark and bite, a left and a right, you could so easily see the practiced imitation of their owners by these dogs: aggression, indiscipline, misbehaviour, territorial demands. Come on, Mark and Dave, you must set a better example for your animals!

Leaving the bestiality behind, on-on went the pack, till a check split us left and right …… and whichever way was a disaster! Those who went left, were given an abridged version of the run, so to use an analogy, they got ‘Mary had a little lamb’ instead of the hard-porn they like to look at in ‘Mary had a big Ram’! Well, they cuss for so! And every hare get it good, for giving them short run like a midget trying an Amazon, even the commissioner-in-waiting who was one of the dicks!

And those who went right, meet up hares who looked like they were still drunk and forgot where to find the trail! Nobody could believe it. Loud embarrassment! The pack had to help them, and after a long delay, on-on uphill. But then to find what? One set of screaming start up, so I start looking for stick to beat snake, although I was truly anxious that it may have been caused by Victor exposing his privates to prospective clients for his new business (‘Victor’s services – specialist in house calls.’) It appears, however, that he has no case to answer – this time. It was really all about the bog or swamp-land that we encountered, through which we were forced to wade knee-deep and sometimes deeper, where protection of the crown-jewels became a point of extreme concern. Women and girls screamed in shock and fright, though the jury is still out as to whether this was accounted for by their distress and discomfort in danger, or by the thought of losing their accompanying men folk, complete with crown-jewels, joy and hap-penis. All the same, administer lots of Dettol right up to your next run, in addition to your usual and regular applications of Vaseline. Thankfully the buttress roots of some large trees offered salvation just as many of us lost the will to continue the battle, and resigned ourselves to our swampy fate. Seems the Big Dicks were attracted to this locale because of the big woods, and the big buttress roots which saved us.

How they could be so deluded to ascribe to themselves the title ‘Big Dicks’ in the arena of those huge woods, can be explained only by the alcohol-induced stupor in which they were found!

Then we reach out by the road, and there we viewed collateral damage: Nicole lose she sole….. she shoe sole. I nearly called Gerry to con-sole she, but then I think nah, boy! He go want to go higher than she foot and that go have trouble…… we not going there!

So we reach back and meet the short-cutters who cuss the hares for the short-run, but the drinks were plentiful so everybody get happy; beer, and new drinks now….. vodka and cranberry! Only Mahashma messed up….. the man forget to bring sale chits and moneybox! I don’t know how they managed, but they worked out a plan with a posy and we drink fuh so! It had pan-side too! And flag! Flagman…. and flagwoman! Nevie wave, Audrey wave, Reina wave… you wave?

But it had only one monster girl. What happen Pradeep, you want all the men to fight over one? Bring like you used to bring, nah man! In grap, to satiate the appetite! You forget the name of the run? Is Big Dicks….. your run!

Anyway, thanks for the run, hares, thanks for the music, the food, thanks for the lime….. on, on to Brasso Seco!
