Run 1665 - 10 Nov 2019
HARES:
Scorpiones
This is the classification of scorpions: Kingdom Animalia (Animals); Phylum: Arthropoda (Arthropods); Subphylum: Chelicerata; Class: Arachnida (Arachnids); and Order: Scorpiones (Scorpions). Current records show that there are 1,004 species known.
Well there is now two more known species in Sir Flakey and Golden Cascade with able assistance by Juan the bus driver.
RUN REPORT (short report for those in a hurry):
27 Hashers and 2 virgins met under a bridge, ambled through a town, did not go on a cable car, ate cake and drank beer, continued ambling through same town, took a bus ride, walked up and down a hill, sat down at the Circle then sat down at a restaurant.
FULL RUN REPORT:
“Scorpio-born people are passionate and assertive people. They are determined and decisive and will research until they find out the truth”. Which is why our Hares had no idea how Sunday’s Run would pan out, needing to resort to last minute panic and revised route planning to get 27 hashers dressed up in full winter wear on their way and importantly back again.....
So was born the “Mijas HHH 1665 A to B,C,D,Whatever Run”. Circle formed in usual non-orderly fashion and we were all introduced to Speedbump’s Mom (the virgin Gloria or was it Mary) and the virgin Seth. As the fabled cable car ride was hanging (pardon the pun) in the balance, with no clue as to where we might end up, we all tentatively set off on a earthly stroll through Benalmadena, a route that would lead us through suburbia, past a hospital (just in case it was needed), more streets, a rope ascent through a rubbish tip and yes more streets to the Beer and lovely cake stop (courtesy of Stiffanny) by the cable lift entrance. Confirmation that the cable cars were not working meant the Hares plans to take us to the stars (and beyond....) collapsed.
However a dastardly plan (or was it several plans later??) saw us intrepid runners follow Golden Cascade, now in her element as a Tour Guide, take us through yet more streets to alight at a Bus stop. Arrive one Juan, looking suave and well Spanish in said bus where upon 28 Hashers barged past all the locals and took all the seating space. Once on route things got really rowdy with Speedbumps and Shagadelic leading us all to song as though we were on a rainyEnglish, northern seaside, daytrip on an old Charabanc. Eventually we were kicked off only to be met by Sir Flakey who informed us the ‘real’ hash was just beginning. Those of us who ventured the late challenge then proceeded in traditional Mijas HHH way by having to scale a bloody steep hill before tackling the usual perilous track down back to the Circle.
The astrological sign of Scorpio does not coincide with the constellation of Scorpius but is located between Libra and Sagittarius, taking the eighth 30 degrees on the zodiacal circle. Which is probably why most people chose to sit down at our Circle. Sir Flakey had the dubious honour of being both assistant GM and Hare with Rob the Knob being press-ganged into being RA.
After the mutiny of who was going to pour the down-down beers was quelled thoughts turned to other things. Hares successfully bullied us all into given them a healthy 9/10 score. The virgins (Gloria or was it Mary and Seth) were brought into the Circle and gave good account of themselves in remembering our Hash names, even though the majority of them are printed on various garments.
Yours truly, Muzzle-Im, had to endure not one but many down-downs in appreciation apparently for maybe being too fat to get into his 30th Anniversary t-shirts. As it was I could so there, 3XL was the right size then. Rob the Knob then climbed the Pulpit to administer absolution (actually he just wore a silly turban) and proceeded to exercise the demons by down-downing anyone in his sight.
Particular miscredents being 5-Knuckle Shuffle, Lilo Lil, Eggshell Blonde, virgin Seth, Shagadelic, Cabin Boy to name but a few. Part of the communication was in the form of the RA singing, intervened by very bad jokes from Eggshell and Muzzle-Im.
The GM finalised proceedings with anniversary down-downs for:
Rob the Knob – 29 Runs
Red Hot Chilli – 45 runs
Cabin Boy – 45 runs
Master Bates – 115 runs
Speedbumps – 170 runs
Rubber Turd – 340 runs
Karma Cameleon – 435 runs (get a life)
Karma Chameleon – 410 runs
Sir Flakey – 595 runs
With Circle closed those who did trooped off to a local Italian restaurant where good food (unless you ordered the BBQ pizza) and pleasant company abound.
