The Words according to COWPAT

🌟 Scroll down to the end of this email for details of upcoming SH4 events, incl. the RAMBO SALCOMBE MARATHON – due to cancellations, there are a few more places available for this event, so if you’ve been mulling over it/missed out first time round, now’s your chance!! 🌟

(Ed. Let it be noted that these Words were also delivered very promptly – Thursday afternoon, no less – but no-one has yet come near Doggy Style’s record for a Words submission [before midnight on the very same night as the hash, for those that missed the Combestone Tor hash write-up]…)
Hash 1480 – South Brent:
Hash by Vindaloo and Gary G – NOT laid in the car. Most definitely NOT! (Ed. they doth protest too much, methinks…)

I felt a bit underdressed in my hash togs when first Ging Gang arrived dressed in dazzling white (dressed for prosecco, not running), then Nutcracker in alluring turquoise, showing off her tan, making Pye salivate with envy (Ed. some of us will only ever have increased freckle-coverage and burning to look forward to; I would have been similarly envious, Pye) . Next came Twisted Sister in a short polka-dot party frock and flip-flops. Even Jyde was sporting bright orange trainers, green socks and purple shirt, while Rubbery – in sunshine-yellow, “parping his horn” – announced his escape from Cornwall.

Rizzo, back from her hols, had her joke’s punchline pre-empted by Gomez, who said he had heard it from Bob Monkhouse in the second half of the last century. (Ed. What? This is not all your own, original mirth-making material, Rizzo? I can’t believe I have been so deceived all this time…) “Who’s he?” most will ask.

It was a warm and humid evening with lots of biting insects. Gomez, in particular, was singled out by an enormous bug who dive-bombed him from a tree and bit him on the bonce. Morticia, not concerned, examined the wound, but could find nothing amiss.

There was also a stream of bare-chested male hashers preening themselves. Re-Entry, Overshot, Blown-off, Who Gives a Shit, Dimwit etc. (Ed. honestly, there’s a thinning of the clouds…😂)

After a very pleasant (2-mile Walk, 4-mile Short and 7-mile Long) hash in the warm and no-torrential-rain, we ended at The Station Cafe, where lovely food and drink was consumed.

Ging Gang and Goolie are celebrating their 54th wedding anniversary (Ed. this week. They will be dining at Wetherspoons and, as a special treat, Ging Gang will have a salad with her jacket potato and steak. Many congratulations to them. (Ed. 😮🎉🥂)

Lazy Git was once more mistaken for WetSpot. (Ed. or was it Wet Spot who was mistaken for Lazy Git?)

Down downs were awarded to:

Vindaloo and Gary – hares, but NOT in the car.
Blownoff – for being too heavy and breaking a gate
Ching Chong – was heard calling “Petrol” upon hearing a passing train.
Sex Wax – for comparing bust-firming exercises with Doggy-Style.
Jyde – for forgetting who he was, where he was and what he was doing there.
(Hekkel did remind him, but he still didn’t seem sure.)
Barbie – for arriving late.
Filth – was nominated by one or all of the above.
(Ed. Abundant Down Downs for this particular evening, it seems, but undoubtedly all richly deserved.)

Next Hash is at WATKINS WOOD, WOODLEIGH, near Loddiswell.

Best wishes

Cowpat
