Douliu Hash #12 saw another fine trail for our intrepid hashers. This time we headed up toward the Jianhushan Amusement park for a rather short trail that, thanks to DDT, managed to cross itself. DDT mentioned that this was only the second time in 100+ hare runs that he had deliberately engineered a trail to cross itself. More on this later.
Our hares were DDT and iPodAlong. The trail was approximately 4.5km long according to SGT’s Garmin Forerunner. It was mostly flat with a few ascents and descents. Here you can see a GPS map with the elevations on the trail.:

A note: the weather was great, but after the hash it rained several times before turning into a torrential downpour during dinner. You’ll notice several different locations in the pictures. This was us attempting to stay dry and thereby moving the down down location. Additionally, several down downs were not recorded because SGT didn’t want his precious notebook getting wet.
Several hashers joined us from afar: Motormouth (Taichung Hash), Hairy Fucker the Irish Cunt (Kaohsiung Hash), and 1st timer Werner coming all the way from South Africa.
Motormouth, Kinky Texan Vegan, Nurse Ratched, and Brussel Sprout were all invited to drink as they had left the island since the last hash.
Second timer Zoe had a drink. One more run and she’ll get her very own Douliu Hash name!
1st timer Werner was in town to visit Bush Diving Boer and Tittie Tonic. Seeing as it was his first and only Douliu Hash run, we broke with protocol and gave him a hash name. We learned that he never drinks beer, due to having quite the lagerfest in his younger days. His nicknames include “opa” (Grandfather) because it takes him a long time to do anything, and [insert Afrikaans word I don’t know] which literally means “shithole.” Additionally, we discovered that he shaves his legs! In the finest tradition of the hash, he was given the Douliu Hash name Beerphobic Late Farting Ladyboy. May he wear it well.
We didn’t have a ladies hashit due to first-timer Jay not returning it last month (obviously, she found it incredibly useful). French Twist was given the replacement ladies’ hashit and promptly gave it away. When it was returned to her she didn’t have 3 nominations. Shame on her.
DDT managed to come up with 3 nominations in French Twist’s stead. He nominated his co-hare iPodAlong for not bringing any chalk or enough cards on the run. Tittie Tonic was nominated for stealing the ladies’ hashit from French Twist, thereby forcing DDT to make nominations. Finally, Bush Diving Boer was nominated for not satisfying Tittie Tonic enough, although I forget what the intent was. Co-hare iPodAlong easily won the nomination and spent the rest of the down down using the women’s hashit as a “penis gun.”
There was no men’s hashit due to DDT forgetting it – a crime that shall not go unpunished again.
Before the hash, DDT told everyone there was something special about the trail. If anyone could figure out what it was, they would win a prize. Kinky Fucking Copraphiliac correctly guessed that the trail crossed itself and won a pair of pink Chippendale panties, which he immediately put on and spent the rest of the down down parading around in front of everyone. There are far too many pictures of this in the gallery, but here is one to tide you over.

-GENERAL PENALTIES-
iPodAlong was called out for the first several nominations for various reasons (his clothes, not being able to name hashers on penalties, drinking penalties when he shouldn’t be). He wasn’t in very good shape and it didn’t get much better for him.

Outback Mountaineer sent a long-distance down down from Australia to the Douliu Hashers, which pretty much included everyone present.
A whistle check produced several hashers who had no whistle and thereby no way to communicate with other hashers on the trail.
iPod went on a rant about Motormouth’s driver.
SGT nominated Nurse Ratched for taking an extended vacation (6+ months) from the Douliu Hash.
iPod went on a rant about people whose 2nd toe is longer than their big toe.
DDT nominated Rommel Router, SGT, KFC, Motormouth, Bush Driving Boer, Tittie Tonic, Beerphobic Late Farting Ladyboy, and himself for all, at one time or another, being at war with each other (Thanks Rommel Router!).
Rommel Router, Four Stiff, and Moaning Grinder were nominated for attending the hash despite being sick/injured (Four Stiff wasn’t feel well, Moaning Grinder is recovering from the Kaohsiung Incident, and Rommel Router is recovering from KTV).
Finally, SGT called out Brussel Sprout and Nurse Ratched for canoodling.
The hash ended, but iPodAlong decided to go for a few slides down the embankment.
We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant nearby while torrential rains came down outside. No one got away completely dry. It did clear up later, however, and several of the hashers joined up for the usual on-after at Roxy’s Bar.
