Run 280
Impala Club 23rd May
Hares: Avenge and Chuma
Critics: Gunslinger and Chicken

One knew that this mixed Hash Memorial Run was not going to be a normal run
by some very bizarre antics of some of the hash stalwarts early on in the
run. The run headed down Ngong Road and into Jamhuri Estate where Kichwa
Mbuzi was seen shortcutting……. yes the late trailmaster was
shortcutting.... who could have imagined!? The run took us up through the
showground to the hold where Chui Aideed was spotted inhaling the melons. At
the hold, Nduati was seen flossing happily with his first hash t-shirt (and
a free one at that!) while Desire was proudly displaying his hash shit
commenting how he wished he could remain the hash shit forever. Running
through the streets of Nairobi with a toilet seat around his neck does
wonders to his image!

The skies looked threatening and Half Mast Mitumba's decision to do the
short should have sent us all signals that the run was soon to take a
bizarre twist. Emerging onto the railway tracks, a loud gunshot ripped
through the air. Hashers ahead began to slow down and huddle together
looking out over the GK Prison grounds to the right of the track. Courageous
Marine, Joe Big, was seen diving under a rail car - which was thankfully
stationary - while about 10 hashers, including Sweet Banana, TKK, Dreams,
Sweet Pie and Urinator, were being rounded up and marched off by the prison
wardens for trespassing. The hash sense of camaraderie was clearly displayed
as the hashers remained en masse on the tracks to ensure that their
colleagues were not about to be put in further harms way. As for the
behaviour of the GK Prison wardens - a little too trigger happy for my
liking!

Back at Impala, Sister Mouse was seen bragging that she avoided the shooting
incident by running an improvised pregnant run. The down downs began in
earnest with returnees Tenderfoot, Dickteaser, Sister Mouse, Master P, Sweet
Pie, Hong Kong and Mujra being punished. Also punished were a long list of
anniversary runners, including Paul Chilogo, Phillipo Milongo from DRC,
Green Gate, Dodger, Fucksake, Chicken, and Needle Hole, amongst others.
Hares Chuma and Avenger were made to consume copious amounts of bia moto
while our single virgin - William Komen - was asked "who made you komen?"
and he brought up a well dressed gentleman who readily put his arm around
him. Hey this is the 21st century! Simamisha was crowned the new hash shit
to the evident dismay of Desire, who soon realised that he could no longer
tune the ndogondogos with the toilet seat around his neck. Sorry Desire -
good things never last. I suppose we'll soon see Simamisha and his hash
shit gracing the cover page of The Pulse in the coming weeks! The
erections.... oops I meant elections.... of the Interim 2008 World Interhash
bid committee then took place to rousing shouting and fierce campaigning.
Fortunately no blows were exchanged, unlike some of the past antics of our
friends at the NCC.

All in all, a good and eventful run, followed by plenty of pombe and nyama.
What else could you ask for ?!?!
