Douliu Hash #27 Run Report

Douliu Hash #27 came with a bang and ended with a roar as we greeted a record 19 first-time hashers. Holy shnikes! After convoying to the start (a rather long one for us), hares Paddy McGroin and BudaPoes took us on a 6k trail that saw plenty of uphill and some gorgeous views! With a total of only 4 hare runs between them, they have shown that it doesn’t take a lot to put together a great trail, so don’t be afraid to get out there and find one of your own!

After inviting our hares up for drinks, DDT and SGT quickly decided that there was no way we were going to be in control of the situation for long. With so many first timers, a slight drizzle, and having to go out TWICE to buy more beer, SGT declined to write down any notes, so most of this down down is from memory.

First timers to the hash included Annie, Monique, two Davids, James, Rachel, John, Josh, Phil, Marinda, Sara, Brenda, Markus, Chris (Happy Birthday!), Alex, Jo, Velle, Shelton, and Ivey. If we get too many more on the next hash, we’re going to have start selling tickets!

Four 2nd-timers returned (apparently we didn’t abuse them enough last month!). They were Elisa, Rhys (again wearing either the shortest longs or the longest shorts he could find), Shani, and Elza. Finally, we had four 3rd-timers, who got some very deserving names.

Alex, the girlfriend of last month’s The Dim Zim, was given the name The Slim Zim, not only for her shapely figure, but for the pun of “slim” meaning “clever” in Afrikaans. Crazy Animal David, who was spying on the naming committee while we badmouthed him, was given the name Taifeng, for it’s similar sound to Typhoon (颱風), which is what comes out of his mouth when he speaks, but also because it means 太瘋, which is crazy or insane. Christina, after much deliberation, was given the name Saddlebags, after her love of riding her bicycle and her ample bosom. Finally, Peter, all the way down from Jilong, was given the name Cock-a-piel, in part after his girlfriend, Sex-a-piel, but also because he comes from Prince Albert (go ahead and google it!). Wish these hashers a great On On and let’s hope to see them back on the trail.

There were quite a few down downs. SGT started off by inviting 1st-timer David up to share a drink, as they are the only two hashers in Taiwan smart enough to wear Vibram FiveFinger shoes. DDT had several drinks for messing up the “him”s and “her”s and “them”s. Of course, we can’t forget that Fucking Retard had several down downs just for being a fucking retard.

Double Dicker finally joined us again after a year hiatus (or more), so he had a welcome back drink. The Slim Zim didn’t get any down downs, but she should have for kneeing The Dim Zim in his twig and berries. We are pretty sure he forgot about it 15 minutes later.

Hashits were stolen several times, so we pretty much lost track of it. By the time we got around to it, I’m pretty sure the men’s hashit and women’s hashit went to Cunnilinguini and Fucking Retard, respectively.

-ANNOUNCEMENTS-
Do NOT abuse the stash. The stash is perhaps the most sacred part of hashing. If your beer is warm, it’s because you are not drinking it fast enough. Do not sit on the coolers, waste beer, or otherwise abuse the stash. You will be called out for it.

Additionally, don’t leave trash on the trail, at the start, or at the finish. Taiwan is very accommodating to us as we go through people’s neighborhoods, fields, and elsewhere. Don’t give us a bad name – that’s the mismanagement committee’s job. Please keep the trash in your pocket until the finish, and always leave it cleaner than you found it.

Thumbbum has some part-timer hours available in Huwei. Get in contact with him if you are interested.

That’s all for this month. Join us again next month on October 29 for our Halloween run, hash #28. Come wearing a costume, and get an extra down down!

On on to 30 runs!
