The Trail

 

Some people had to work on 6/2/9, including EZRideHerr, who therefore missed Megan Moran (who works for Operation Smile) getting named Car Phoqa for her first Hare at a crazy Hash in Wadi Digla. And then on 13/2/9 we had a large crowd the Valentine¡¯s Day bash in the Protectorate (everyone was red, including their noses). Blue sky, warm, no clouds, 27 degrees C: it was berfect! We had lots of virgins to welcome this time:

1)      Ahmet (Operation Smile)

2)      Luke, Perth/Australia (pooh consultant)

3)      Ekoni, a Japanese girl visiting Cairo

4)      Essy, a student from Suomi (Finland, the land of 1 million lakes)

5)      Tom, a student from Finland (Suomi, the land of 1 billion mosquitoes)

6)      Ronja, a student from Suomi (Finlandia, the land of Finlandia Vodka)

7)      Mira, Cairo (mirror saleswoman)

8)      Chris, UK - tourist, visiting el-Horreya (a pub in downtown Cairo)

9)      Gerry, a businessman (security) from Finlandia, as well, the land of 1 trillion saunas

10)  Ola, young girl from Cairo

11)  Sind or Sindbad, a young fellow from Cairo

12)  Cecile, a young lady from France

13)  Ahmet (Heshmat), a surgeon from Cairo

14)  Tyler, a sportsman from Canada

15)  Petra, a young lady from Germany

16)  Tom, a young businessman from the USA

17)  Gregor, a youthful blogger from Scotland.

 

After welcoming all newcomers, Captain Wesley asked for a moment of respect for the Hash founder Alberto Stephano Ignatius Gisbert, a British expat, known as ¡®G¡¯ to his friends who started the Hash (and so zee big World Hash Family) in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It all kicked off one Saturday after an indulgent party where too much shandy was imbibed at the Selangor Club one Friday night, when Gis decided to recover with a bit of a run round the sports field. It soon snowballed with the addition of dynamic dudes like Cecil Lee, ¡®Horse¡¯ Thomson, ¡®Torch¡¯ Bennett, Eric Galvin and later Philip Wickens. Anyway, the run today, 71 years later, started at 2pm. It was hilly and flat, and everybody loved it. Same with the walk: flat and hilly and funny, not too many dead ends which might have slowed down those FRBs a wee bit.

 

 

The Circular Circle

 

The first DDs for today went to the shortcutters¡¯ club: all those from Suomi (Finlandia), Lion Fart (Richard Strongman) and his wife Claire, Ineka, Yvette, the daughter and wife of Mounir (the Pasha from Jordan), Mona, Little Mohamed and Swiss Miss Ursel. After that Eddy from Nigeria and all the shortcutters got a DD with: "Why were they born so beautifull (full!)?" The lazy non-in-signers followed then with a big cold DD: Amira, Gregor, Kuli Jan, Eileen Ding and Joelle. We also honoured Commodore Hubbard for his 70th Hare with a cold bottle of Finnish vodka and a DD with a big glass of this thirst-quenching, deliciously refreshing spirit. Our friend and beermaster Gerhart had his 25th CH3 today and got a big DD as well: "They are Hashers they are blue, they are bissbotts through and through...". After that we had the naming of the charmante Yvette (eighth Hash today) from Holland who works in Maadi as a therapist and who likes sports, movies, the Hash. The proposals for her name included: Always Drives Drunk; Dutch Camel; Rapes One Out (!!); Drunk Rider; Rub It In; Camel Rower; Great Pans; Pink Flower; Slimy Hand; Two Lips Therapy; Frau Antje From Holland; Pink Couch Potato; Short Circuit Or Hits The Thumbs; Low Lands Riders; Ride Hopper; and Sleeping Spoke. And Two Lips Therapy gets it and, as she¡¯s baptised, Yvette enjoyed on a big DD with a cold Sakkara beer!

 

Now the voting for the best Valentines costume:

1.      Swiss Jürg: dressed like St. Valentine;

2.      Martin Bertsch alias Hand Solo, dressed like Hand Solo;

3.      Frank alias EasyRideHerr, dressed like a Wiener Schnitzel;

4.      Richard Lionfart, dressed like Heidi (with fire-red hair, take care !!!).

 

The absolutely winner was EasyRideHerr (nice red shorts...), who is given a bottle of red wine and a hot book: Erotic Movies from 1920 (???!). Then it was the girls¡¯ contest:

1.      Kerstin

2.      Mary Fran(cis) - and probably her last Cairo Hash for the next time because of going to Badhdad for 1 year

3.      Floughir (?),

4.      Nadine,

5.      Charlotte

6.      Sweaty

7.      Dagmar

8.      Maggy.

 

Anyway, they all won it together!! Meia-Meia! And finally the couple¡¯s contest was won by Steffie and Catherine, who regale us with a saucy, home-made Valentine¡¯s song, to which all assembled danced and sang. All the kiddies got refreshments too. Lots more songs before the Circle closed and some folk went to the On-On at the Rugby Club, where there was a tasty chicken curry buffet. A wonderful end to a wonderful day. On-On!!
