The Words according to MARTY
Hash 1458 – ST ANN’S CHAPEL
We were welcomed to the hash by Goolie and Know Nuts and told the usual 3-mile Short and 5-mile Long (perfect distances!).
Know Nuts very kindly laid lines of flour under each barbed wire fence we had to navigate. Within seconds, Live Wire had a spectacular trip on a tree root, but managed to hold it together and regain his balance, much to the admiration of Nice Buns and Rusty Bottom. ( I think Rusty was just glad she didn’t have to pick gravel out of Live Wire’s face and could continue on her Hash).
The first boggy stream we arrived at, Grumpy Arse was violated by Olive: Olive was running at such speed she slipped and deposited her water bottle up Grumpy Arse’s bottom (She wasn’t grumpy after that!! [Ed. whatever floats your boat…!] 👀).
Unfortunately, I had to leave before the R.A, Overshot, could present his tales to the group. Dimmers very kindly offered to collect Overshot’s scribblings. Overshot rather rudely said to him, “I bet Marty will just photograph the notes like she did last time”. When Dimmers told me about Overshot’s comment on Wednesday night, I was deeply offended by the slur on my Words-writing reputation (completely true, but don’t broadcast it!). Right: these are going to be the best words I have ever written!! Then, to my horror, there were no notes…only drawings of kitchens with squiggles on!! What is a girl supposed to do with that? So I took photos of the said plans, just to prove that Captain Overshot had not made any notes and fudged the entire R.A session!!
So, it is with great sadness that my words end here, as I do not have the relevant information to continue.
On On to wherever the Facebook Page or the Website says (Ed. please see next hash listing, below, for the exact ‘wherever’).
Marty xx
