A pair of virgin hares is always something to fear, especially when one of them is also a virgin hasher. As previously reported Titman was laid low with another foot injury, a re-occurrence of foot-in-mouth disease reported by someone in the know, so Aruna was pressed into the role of carrying the flour. The venue and surrounds has been given a thrashing over the last year, usually from other nearby starts but all passing this well known statue of Mao.
The turnout was excellent though despite the hot afternoon and the pack finally got away to a late start courtesy of 7Ups fruit responsibilities. The trail went south and exited the campus though the adjoining village, turned right up Yugu Lu and entered the Bamboo Forest, amazingly enough, virgin territory. Kama Sutras arrows were things of art, huge, directionally sound and placed in a non-erratic manner. The pack was spread out a bit here, but a RG was found at the little fitness area on the top of the hill and waited until Skidmarks arrived, before immediately heading off leaving the unfortunate Debbie in the loo with Cartoon Porn swiftly volunteering to rescue her.
So it was to Yugo Lu and up to the entrance to the gardens which we all now know to be open without charge after 4.30, thanks Kama Sutra. Ah, but soon the trail disappeared behind a locked door surrounded by hasher unfriendly walls. Cartoon Porn back to the fore, as he led the pack around to a side door which led through the ornamental ponds and back into the bush on stone paths. Every visit to the area unearths some new thing, and for scribe it was the mini chalets in the forest holiday camp with the adjoining photo-ops for newly weds, not normally the lesbian pairings provided by the hash on this day. So it was on on to a road that led toward the mountains, but turned away at the last moment back into the gardens, much to relief of back markers Skidmarks, Cunning Linguist Debbie and Sandra. Just before the trail hit Yugu Lu again, the pack found the instruction, On Home, or words to that effect. First home were Sheepshagger and Cartoon Porn, both suspected of SCBing the last bit.
Doggie Style was back to his old self as GM of the circle, and the accusations flew thick and fast. Sandra gave the circle a deep and meaningful song about her wish to be christened before she headed off to Beijing as a volunteer, and so with the naming committee’s creative juices at a low ebb, Sandra was named Mudlark, mostly because of those purple and gold shoes in the mud; who could forget them? Debbie was named Pawn Star because of the conjunction of the old classic film Debbie Does Dallas and a chess playing assumption. 7Up was absolutely sure that her new shoes would go unnoticed, but didn’t count on the eagle eye of Phone Box. Aruna learned the rule “one hare drinks, both hares drink” as a double virgin, but can also be happy with universal agreement that the run was interesting, findable and the right length. The pack sauntered off down to a youth hostel restaurant in the village for an excellent 20 kuai meal; have to go back there, and some then headed off to Maya.
Now who was the hasher who was deputed to write this week’s report?
