I decided to break from tradition this week as I get quite a few emails from sinners who obviously don’t read all the Footprints – and they ask “where is this weeks run?”
If it is not bleeding obvious this week – I give up!

Run 1503
THE “AIRPORT ROAD FLYOVER ” RUN

Monday: 15th April 2007
HARES: Kangaroo Keg & Perthy Throwup
ON BACK: Kangaroo Kegs Humpy

THE RUN
35 Hashers came out of the woodwork and winged & bitched about not being able to find the venue and where to park. Probably just as well a few got themselves lost as we could have had less tucker and drinks for all!
The Motley crew assembled in the car park near Kangaroo Kegs place and most followed instructions (now there’s a first) Some got lost & Brian didn’t even catch up They were instructed to follow blue and white chalk for runners and bimblers.
The AUH4 GM OOZE ‘EE was missing in action again. Seconds later the aforesaid made a cameo entrance – a BLAB again! (I just copy this bit each week!)
They braved the roads, cars, and lack of chalk or anything. There weren’t many chalk marks, lots of long false trails and check backs (even the Hares lost count) which even had the knitting circle in tow on several occasions until they became immediately lost (an understatement) and easy to find check back marks (well there were a lot of them). There was no crossing of any major roads, a little traffic, almost no soft sand, lots of racing - gasp! and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail.


THE RUN – VERDICT
Too long; Shite; No chalk -2: Soft sand +5: walkers trails 0: Length just right 10; No major roads -5: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; Check backs -0; Too many hills; too much traffic, too many cemeteries; bimblers got lost -6; too much fresh air, not enough false trails; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.31


THE HARES
Despite the usual verbal pressure from several chatterboxes and lack of respect for the GM, HM ‘Ooz ‘Ee got the gathering underway and gave down-downs to Russell, Carpet Burns and Matthew an excellent run and the longest chalk mark ever

VIRGINS
8 this week – Georg with no E, Maurice, Herman, Andrea, Emily all with E’s and Chris, William & Liz with no E

FAREWELL
This was the last Hash for Paul Dunnage and his wife Sue have completed their sentences in the Middle East and have returned to the Old Dart. AUH4 wish them all the best for the future

The GM, Ooze ‘EE
Commenced by announcing positions in AUH 4 were all up for renewal and elections would be held. Please volunteer
Initially a Hash water committee would be formed to relieve some of the pressure from Kangaroo keg. Several volunteers with booze licences were required to collect the drinks on a roster basis Please volunteer

Ooze ‘EE then had several charges
for himself for not knowing the difference between “soliciting” and “solicitating”
Russell and Whiplash for phone abuse on the Hash
Hernia and Dancing Queen for racing
Georg with no E and Herman – “we do everything together” Oh Really????
and several other meaningful charges which I forgot


The RA, Perthy Throwup proceeded to pick on numerous innocent Hashers
To Theresa for breaking her car window as she had locked the keys inside & their son Ben was inside also
Dominic for accelerating over the speed humps and for bringing his teacher Liz
The Brats; Zulal for taking a taxi back to the on backs, and Connell and Ferdinand for grassing on each other and their parents for not controlling them
These proceedings were rudely interrupted when the local council decided to fog everyone and The RA warned everyone that it was the doomsday coming and they would now pay for their sins
Proceedings got underway with lots of coughing and
Russell for getting 3 phone calls in 3 minutes and Carpet Burns for “I’m coming soon”
Chris for racing and then thinking he was Silver Birch running in the Grand National and falling in a spectacular manner over a hedge jump then getting covered in dust & mud
Vlad for thinking the dust & mud on Chris was a new form of VD
Canadians for being late & lost
Whiplash for asking Perthy “where the trail was & how am I going to get back” Try walking!!!!

Just in case you missed it

SOME POLITICALLY INCORRECT HUMOUR
AN IRISH DIET
An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.
"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this
procedure for 2 weeks.The next time I see you, you should have lost
at least 5 pounds.
When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost almost
30 pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow by instructions?"
The Irishman nodded.... "I'll tell you though, by Jaesuz, I t'aut I were going to drop dead dat 3rd day."
"From hunger, you mean?"
"No, from f****** 'skipping." the Irishman said.
