It’s been a long time coming, but I’m finally getting around to it. Douliu Hash #39 was held on October 27. DDT, the lone hair, took our group of drinking wanderers over small hills and through dales on a mostly flat trail just outside Linnei. It was a lovely trail and finished in a stream between two dikes (too bad we couldn’t finish between two dykes!).

After getting settled down, we settled atop the dike to watch the sun set as we held down downs. DDT had a victory drink after another successful run, then we welcomed our first timers up: Corey, BOF (an old hand at hashing, but a 1st timer on our hash), Chris, Nick, Rob, and Bonnie. There were no second timers, but 3rd timer Roxy got her name: Clam Jam, given that she is known as Moisture Oyster in Taichung. Third timer Daniel also got his name: Oil My Coil, for… well… I can’t quite remember anymore. Cheers to them and give them an ON ON next time you see them on trail.
Pressed for time, we got right down to it. Cockpox had the Men’s Hashit and made nominations: The Slim Zim, for stepping in dogshit right at the start, Thumbbum, for taking something (I can’t read my notes!), and Whiskey O’Clock for stashing the women’s hashit safely away so it couldn’t be taken. It came down to a near tie, but Whiskey O’Clock came away with the men’s hashit and will carry it next month.
Whiskey O’Clock stayed up from, as she also had the women’s hashit and three fine nominations: Boner Bender, for running across the railroad tracks (better than those stairs), Cockpox, for being a “Rice Queen,” and STD, for his pretty pink backpack. Needless to say, STD won the women’s hashit and proudly added it to his already effeminate get up.
There were several Welcome Backs: DDT (Back from the Philippines), CBB (back from America?), and Jean, whose hash name I forgot (back from America). Welcome them back and an ON ON to the next trail.
-GENERAL PENALTIES-
With light fading fast, we got right into a short but furious down down session. The Dim Zim started things off by nominating Rob for mistaking a rice field for a corn field (even The Dim Zim knew that!) and Cockpox for losing her flip-flop in the river, and SGT nominated both Crampee Buxibum and BOF for raising the average age of the hash but lowering the average IQ.
CBB called out SGT, BBB, and Cockpox for jaunting/skeeting on trail after starting as walkers. LaF nominated everyone who showed up late, which of course included Thumbbum (one of these months, he’ll show up at 1:30), and Thumbum had his own nomination for Boner Bender for leaving the trail, which of course he had to drink for as a weak nomination.
Finally, DDT nominated the Zims for canoodling during the down down. BOF told a story about his time hashing in Chiang Mai, and we had a whistle check. To finish things up, SGT brought Boner Bender up for a drink to celebrate her finishing 10 runs and DDT for finishing 40 runs (includes the Kaohsiung Family Run from November 2010).
The next run, run #40, will be held in Tainan. We’ll be leaving Douliu around 11 a.m. and meeting up in Tainan. Stay tuned to this blog for more instructions and directions. ON ON!
EDIT (Oct. 26, 2013): RIP BOF. You’ll be missed.
