The 11th November Hash took place at a pleasant site off the Barada valley, originally discovered by Little John and visited twice before. The trail was set by first time Hares Mardik, Alexander and Maisaa. The weather was splendid, so extra pairs of shoes were not needed this time.The Religious Adviser has returned and brought with him, possibly all the way from Ireland, the ice again, which we had happily missed on the last Hash.
By general consensus, the trail was found too short - the runners panted back to the cars a good while ahead of even the fastest walkers, so that White Thrashed felt compelled to run some more along the end of the walkers trail. The Religious Adviser classified this as an unseemly impatience on Arthur´s part to be reunited with his (walking) wife, and ordered his passion be cooled down down. There was a downdown for a family of returnees and the ice came in handy to punish Pearce (and his bone) for chatting up the sole Virgin Valerie during the ceremony. 2 Fishes did not get in his Cyprus song this time but instead the multitalented Pearce sung an Irish tune, to which the lovebirds performed a lively bit of the Scottish reel, as a sample of the up-coming St. Andrew´s Night. The shortness of the trail was compensated by a copious "snack" of a Syrian dish "Fol mdamas", served on silver plates. Grommit the Dog had some brushes with the local children, but apart from that all was autumnally calm and the usual merriment prevailed.
All those who are going, have fun in Kassab!
On on, Blanka
P.S. Don, I am sorry you were christened ??? in the last Hash Trash - I omitted to mention you by name as the downdown master and Rowdy, the editor, inserted the ???
