Hash 1483 – BRIXTON
Hashers assembled in Brixton in the balmy evening air, numbers swelled by virgins and hashers from afar. Captain Underpants came from Singapore and brought his parents too. Nellie (or Claire…?!) named Little Bo Peep (?) brought her friend and the two of them set the pace, and the chat. Rubbery, Hekkel and others set a different pace/plaice, heading off to get served early doors at the chippie.
Filth kept the pace up, ably abetted by Reuben, leaving Pony in her wake: he was thought to be lost, missed the Beer Stop, but turned up at the pub – surprise, surprise.
Pony wasn’t the only hasher lost on the trail; Dimmers deciding on ‘any port in a storm’, gamely followed a runner in yellow jacket, but not a hasher. That’s one way to make new friends! Jyde jilted the hash for his literary mates. Traffic and Windy Balls were doubly keen to avoid a down-down; first they hid their early arrival, then they scarpered before they could be lauded for it.
There was plenty of water on the hash tonight, with Shaggy having her usual problem with gravity – this time, she was saved by the water and gifted with wet pants. Olive took it one stage further and dipped her nip in -just the one, though: WGAS just didn’t have enough arms to save her, what with holding up both Rizzo and She’s Ready. Flage took the option of leading WGAS & Rizzo astray to avoid any further watery mishaps. They were all reminded why torches are a good idea on the hash, now we’re well past summer solstice. Other hazards were pointed out by ComeTonight, who saved many with her yells of “Heads! Heads!” – if only she had heeded her own advice, rather than heading a low branch and giving herself concussion.
Ching Chong had wet pants at the start of the hash – was that from fear, or excitement, at sharing a ride with Shaggy & Can’t Come? She also shared that she spent her first few hashes addressing Blown Off as Blow Job who, always the gentlemen, didn’t correct her.
Back in the pub, Nice Buns awarded the position of drink facilitator to Shaggy – no shortage of applicants for that job at the drinking club with a running problem! Hash attire was questionable, with the Italian Stallion remaining in his running kit, while Flage styled it out with a back-to-front cardigan to hide her lack of pub gear.
Down Downs went to:
The Hares, Winnie & Blown-Off (Blow Job)
Nutcracker, for her 700 T-shirt, deputised to Nice Buns
Flage, for disservices to fashion
Ching Chong
Pony, for missing the Beer Stop
On, On to The Creek’s End, KINGSBRIDGE.
