Two guest hashers, 4 virgins, 4 returners and 9 (let’s call them) regulars descended on Chez TTR & ER for the always popular and always fun September trail with after circle BBQ. After being introduced to some familiar and some creative markings, along with new names for the S&L (Suckers & Losers), both parties began the 10k ish and 6k ish trails through the urban parts of SM-d-T, including passing the almost future Hash HQ of our GM
With the runners disappearing into the distance, the walkers (or Suckers as we are now known) continued to try to find their way with good markings, on the dark tarmac, only to be fooled later with trying to find white markings on the white tarmac. Fortunately flashes of lost runners and TTR’s bright orange shirt helped us find our way again………but not for long as some well thought out false trails sent the walkers off into the distance again
Passing through the woodland next to the Touch river, being given permission by the hare to short cut, then later the police college (I didn’t know there was one in Toulouse), veterinary college and dog training ground we descended back down the hill to the entrance of SM-d-T to meet the runners at the beer stop – and good thing we got there in the nick of time as they had nearly completed the supply…….well except for the 1664 Rosé which received – er – mixed reviews.
The On In was a quiet affair with everyone choosing to walk back, presumably as a result of guzzling the beer stop supplies. Back at base camp, the apero was started along with the BBQ and in no time at all we started the circle, with a VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Glory Hole started the introduction before quickly asking our RA to take over and within moments we found Cheesy Lollipop down in his knees … .and yeah, we all wondered where this was going. In short, our RA, for at least the last 5 years, was hanging up his dog collar and handing over RA duties to Cheesy Lollipop. After a very gracious ceremony was performed with the knighting of CL with flour and beer, our new RA quickly jumped into action to do his best to humiliate as many people as possible
The circle voted on the trail with no less than a full thumbs up for the hares and the traditional reward. Next, he brought in the Virgins – yes, it’s good to have new blood after the brief dry spell:
– Just Fred, who was made to cum by Easy Rider & Ticket to Ride
– Just Pallavi, who was made to cum by Glory Hole
– Just Andy & Just Heather, who were both made to cum by Just Silverio
Returners included;
– ET, who had been exploring the world, so not a bad excuse all in all
– Just Chris, the offspring of our favourite Beer Bitch, Short Shift
– Just Scott, a friend of ET, who last joined a TH3 run in 2019
– Just Lea, who had participated in 1 hash in 2024 and never came back. I’m not sure what made her cum back this time, or should I say who
– Just Silverio, on his fourth trail but with a sizeable gap in between them
Finally, I say guest hashers, as I don’t know if they had been to the TH3 before, Tweety Pie & Jingle Balls, veterans of the Tianjin Hash.
Hopefully we will see you all again at the next trail!!
Pretty much everyone was brought into the circle, some more than once, and some for misdemeanors outside of the hash! The penultimate activity prior to the closure of the circle was to review the hare line. Just Fred, one of our Virgins very kindly offered to set the next trail – date and location tbc – for October. I would like that we could have a longer hare line to advertise on the website and the socials. If anyone wants to volunteer for November and/or December, even if dates and locations are not identified yet, please raise your hand
Last but by no means least, the 2nd major circle item of the day was to, finally, and after some initial reluctance, officially initiate Just Leslie to the international hash community. Cheesy began with asking the circle for ideas and very quickly 3 ideas came to mind courtesy of Swinging Down Under, and a few others – although I would admit I don’t remember what they are. However, it the winning name quickly came to our minds when we recalled that Just Leslie talked a lot about cider in the pre-hash organization Whatsapp chat so with that subject and the dirty minds of the TH3, we christened Just Leslie as Dicken Cider for which she has taken on the chin (that’s what she said) and proudly roared the name as she was gently doused in beer and flour as per the international hash tradition
With the circle wrapped up, muchos down downs performed and at least 2 of the TH3 covered in beer and flour, Easy Rider called us to the table as the BBQ began and from there……………I have to admit, I don’t remember what happened next
