HASH SHIT SUNDAY 7^TH NOVEMBER 2004   Run 1397

ATHENS CLASSIC MARATHON

VENUE AG PARASKEVI CHURCH –MARBLE STADIUM PAGRATI

HARES: well everyone says it is Pheidippides….except it wasn’t, it as an unnamed chap who died when he had passed on the message of the great victory…..oh read your Blue Guide and get a bit of EDUCATION

So the streets were lined with over two and a half MILLION people all gathered to watch PAULA RADCLIFFE finally get over and past the wall and WIN …HURRAH …..well that was the New York Marathon held the same day with a bit more attention than the Athens Classic Marathon…..

Whereas over here in Athens a meagre group of hashers milled around asking where everyone else was that at Twisted Bitch’s party had sworn they would be up for running the 10k…..just as soon as the alcohol had stopped circulating and their eyelids had unglued…..they are probably running as we speak.

In reality the roll call for the Athens Marathon from AHHH was ……..ONE BANGER Yes she did it again and in a better time than last year, despite injury, and she looked much better than the rest of the short cutting bastards that joined in at various points on the route.

The real 10k runners (although I am only believing them and trusting no taxis were jumped into) were as follows:

Returnee MAKING BACON back for the run from Denmark

STRAWBELLY FORESKIN and the lovely LEAN OVER

THE BOOKMAKER

THRUSH , CLEOPATRA SHAGGY DOG AND TORTOISE with hash horror in the pushchair ….rumour had it they joined in around the Pentagon but at least Thrush got out of the pushchair before he came along the ON INN

WHERE THE F*CK ARE WE What a man…..so blind drunk 4 hours before the start that partying hashers had to strip him of his car keys and Gobby Biggles was reported as saying his driving earlier in the evening was more scary that stalling an F2 fighter jet…..and she should know!

SHIVA and PINK JENNY who had luckily taken off her Cruella de Ville outfit and was back in pink so we would recognise her.

Some visitors did the marathon and some the 10k including members of the Holyland Hash including GOLD MEMBER , and SKELETON BUGGER from Holland.

IF I MISSED YOU OUT SORRY…ADD YOUR OWN NAME HERE

The only happening on the Hash run itself was the homage at PAULA POINT which mentally must have given her such a boost that she sprinted to victory….back in New York.

Complaints about the lack of blue , falsies , checks and an ON INN will please be forwarded to:

So to the circle, which I must say was not one of our best and all our visitors will have to excuse our atrocious singing….we need a hash choirmaster/songmaster or something. Luckily F*uck You Gasper volunteered as he said we should be able to do better than FATHER ABRAHAM and sing something more Greek so he is composing a new song with lots of simple repetitive actions and NO BIG WORDS. He promised it would be ready for next week otherwise we could strip him naked and chase him round the streets of Athens …….CLITORIA and the HASH HONEYS which would you prefer a new song or Gasper naked……let me know before Sunday.

ON ON to Melissia….oops no Kareas……well somewhere with some blue flour PLEEEEASE
