Location: Pang Rimkorn village on the road to Khun Korn waterfalls
Hare: Wirgin Bluce
Demographically our 4th anniversary run was very similar to previous exercises. There were 14 men, all expatriates including two virgins. There were 13 women almost all Thai including two more virgins. The other seven were kids.
The thrills began en route. Four wheel drive vehicles drove through the fast current of the Khun Korn River to reach the Wirgin Bluce-Wild Woman farm. Low slung sedans had to off-load their passengers and leave them to negotiate a bamboo bridge slung precariously overhead.
The run began and ended at the farm. The first check was a back check but no one bothered to look at the road that headed up hill. After several minutes of fruitless searching, Nam Ron who knew the route, mercifully called the “On! On!” The FRBs headed by Barefoot Beer Lao Bob (to whom we bid good riddance two months ago) MANipulator, Do It Yourself, Do It Better, virgin Barry and Flaps disappeared only to reappear at the farm 45 minutes later. The rest of the gang trudged in their wake.
For the majority, the first half hour was mostly uphill along narrow paths through jungle and banana plantations. Then we came to a road leading downhill which was a shortcut. Only Shocking, virgins Kodi and his nanny took the primrose path. After some hesitation, the others braved the steep and narrow way. When five-year old Smoked Weiner headed uphill, Mother Molly Polly and Grandfather Reverse Thruster had little choice but follow. At the top they were rewarded with magnificent views all over the valley.
As the trail neared its end at the farm, virgins six-year old Apauliana and her mother Yuliya decided to innovate. They slipped into the fast moving stream and continued their trip therein. Others like Superglue and virgin Will waited until they arrived at the end then bathed in the Khun Korn River. More conventional hashers took a shower in the cottage.
Wild Woman rewarded the gang with a dinner of BBQ salmon, onions, tomatoes, hamburgers and sausages. Then Apauliana escorted by Kenji, Kodi and Smoked Weiner brought out a cake with four lit candles. This produced cacophonous rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Thus we celebrated the fourth anniversary of our club.
GM Nam Ron proposed the following method to elect next year’s slate of officers. Anyone making a nomination had to drink a half glass of beer. Anyone declining a nomination had to down a full glass of beer. Hand Cock who both nominated and declined nominations soon reached maximum capacity.
In the end Shocking was elected G.M. Helping Hand becames Hash Beer. Do It Yourself will serve as Hash Cash and Wirgin Bluce was reelected as Hash Scribe in the absence of other candidates.
Flaps was welcomed as a new member transferring from Chiangmai. Upon inquiry he confessed that his name derives from his interest in aviation gliding. His consort then became “Joy Stick.”
The December hash will be hared by Well Oiled and Hand Cock volunteered to do January.
