Run No. 64 – March 13th – Report
Well, what shall we talk about today? Bomas down the toilet? The Goldenberg Charade? The Ouko Circus? Wanachi betrayed by scheming, selfish politicians? Anarchy in Nairobbery? Degradation of Women in Kenya, Mr. Balala using the “L” word? (Now that was a big disappointment, did he really say that?), Mtwapa to be renamed Takatakaville?
No, it’s all so depressing! Let’s talk about something which takes us away from the madness of real life, and delivers us into a world where the politician and bank manager are treated the same as the mkokoteni and the mkulima. What is this Utopia? Is it Bush’s America? Definitely not! Is it Fidel’s Cuba? No!
Of course, it is the Hash World, where the Great Hashman in the Sky watches over us wherever we are, when we are checking deep and short cutting, when we are on the trail and in the circle. When visitors from other Hash groups come to visit the SWANK Hashstituency, we don’t threaten to lynch them, we welcome them with down downs on their knees. Everyone is welcome, even the French!
And so it was last Saturday at Nguu Tatu, where Eric “Mouth” Rupia, set a great trail up and down the nguus, thankfully not all three of them. Eric did have some co hares, well harriettes, actually, but it seems that they were so busy gossiping with the French visitor that they were unable to help Eric with laying false trails, in fact, they not only short cutted the run but they also short cutted the setting of the run. This must be something of a record and Fina and Sylvia should have been duly honoured at the St. Patricks Day Run, which took place last Wednesday, featuring green beer down downs. During the evening, the following true stories were recounted.
