Déjà vu – again!



Date: Saturday, September 1st, 2012.
Hares: Orca, Polar Bear and Dreadful.
Location: Enoch Kavindele’s land, New Kasama.
Hash Number: 1684.
Attendance: 31.

As we stood around waiting for latecomers at this week’s hash, it was almost impossible not to start pontificating about nature and the spectacular scenery (including and in particular the caravan with no wheels). Luckily any poetic tendencies were halted with the beginning of the run.

The run appeared to start off well and we skirted the edge of a hill, leaves crunching underfoot. However, it wasn’t long before it all, inevitably, went wrong. The pack lost the trail, the hares lost the plot, but at the top of a gigantic hill we found the first hash hold –result! Orca duly informed us that this was not OUR hash hold and sent us off on a classic Orca loop to stumble over stones and boulders. We reached another hash hold, oh no, in fact, it was the same one! Deja-vu, again remarked Bin Dealin! Confusion reigned as Swedish led us all astray and Dreadful got a wee bit confused about his trail. Luckily, Drug Peddlar and Erin were at hand to get us back on the right track and back to base.

Mosi overflowed as we circled up. Condom Man gave the run 2/10 for awfulness but 15/10 for the location, resulting in an overall score of 17 ½ /20: Very respectable. Golden Shower dubbed the walk ‘the best walking trail ever’, but that might have had something to do with Polar Bear’s threatening looks in his direction! We were then all very privileged to meet our one newcomer this week – Not Floppy (look at the ear!). She may have been called Aila.  Cue some animal abuse with water poured all over the dog and a few terrible jokes (What do you have on the top of a house? Ruff!): Terrible, Condom Man.

Unfortunately, Princess Fiona was back in the middle as RA. Golden Shower took the first down-down for a lovely English rugby shirt marred by the fact it was worn by a South African. Cockney-Zambian Sipho (returning after a long stint in London) obviously had too much time in the grey drizzle and chills of the UK – hopefully his down-down helped to cool him down after he complained about the heat!

Condom Man and G2S had their dirty secret outed – yes, they had bought new shoes fairly recently, but had been too chicken to wear them to the hash. Then the Zambian ladies (Single Shot, Money Shot, Polar Bear, Orca and Twiggy) revealed their not-so-well-kept phobia of rubber snakes - pretty scary.

Tripod was penalised for enjoying the fact his family had buggered off again – family man, indeed! It may have been at this point that Not Floppy got a bit enthusiastic about chasing off small children with her ferocious barks (or maybe that was Purple Bush).

Sugamamma and Daddy’s Boy enjoyed their moment in the circle for a lack of hash attire, AND claiming to have been too busy for the past 3 months to attend the hash. There really is not that much to do in Lusaka! The stretchers – Swedish and Bin Dealin’ showed off their poses in the circle and a triple was called for – who else could make the Swedish triple but Blow Job?!

No really important announcements led us directly on to Hash Sh*t. Golden Shower clearly thought it was ok to try to pull off the ‘Bradley Wiggins’ look with his ginger mutton chops and England attire. Sorry, it’s not! The shirt came off, the gentlemen gawped and we got stuck in to the rest of the Mosi.

On on! G2S
