Royal Southside Hash Trash - Run 1663

Hareline:

The Pre-Run:

Jack Off and Kiwi spent a leisurely afternoon setting the run, cleaning up, and getting water, beer, softies, chips and ice in order to be ready for the anticipated small boatloads of gentlemen.

4 boatloads later, some 17 gentlemen – including visitors Nick and BFucked and intermittent South Sider Dick the Shit, had deposited themselves in Peng Chau, either to run or enjoy the cool fall air at Hong's most recently proclaimed "Village of the Year".

The early arrivals requested to be set loose prior to the planned 19:15 start, but in the absence of markings or help from the hares, only Pugak sort of guessed the planned direction... but even he came back to the start before setting out on his own.

Finally, at 19:10 the last of the runners arrived, some ready to go and others clearly in no hurry. What do people do while on a Ferry for nearly 40 minutes one might ask?

But, after a lengthy and repeated discourse on markings, the pack was set free towards the center of the island promptly at 19:15 leaving the hares to go buy more beer and water. The back of the pack, including Squeak and Caligula left shortly thereafter.

The Run:

This year's Peng Chau run was a complicated affair for a good number of the pack – as evidenced by the myriad of comments given after the pack's return. Given that the trail zig-zagged through the center of the island – with numerous twists, turns and, most of all, check-backs, it was a challenging run.

The hares dutifully closed all the checks and check-backs, used heaps of chalk and flour, and over marked in most areas. Still, many ran through the marks and wondered why they were off-trail...

Without giving away the plot, most got the correct trails, including the Finger Hill special - much appreciated by Ice and Haggis. Most that is - except Nick who, after only 30 minutes, returned to the start exclaiming "I won". Oh really...?

First in from the real pack, in 42 minutes 5 seconds was Smallbone, followed quickly (but behind) by Ice. The balance of the pack filtered in over the next 10 minutes or so.

The Pre Circle:

Post run banter centered mostly about the run – with comments ranging from over-engineered (Smallbone) to fantastic (Ali McBeal). Some of the gentlemen scurried off for a pre-circle shower before Kiwi called the circle to order at 20:50.

The Circle:

Amah nominees this week included Dick the Shit, Ice and Pugak. But, of course, the winners were Haggis and visitor BFucked.

Circle Closed @ 21:30

On On to the Forrest Restaurant for 11 of the gentlemen followed by the 22:45 ferry and the Bunny Club for a cleansing night cap.

News:
The confession came from three attractive transvestites arrested in Bangkok last week. Police say they'd recently robbed an older Hong Kong hasher of more than $7,300 in cash and valuables while he was on tour. Police say the victim never told investigators he met the transvestites in a bar while dressed in a kilt and invited them all back to his hotel. After kissing one, he said he got dizzy and passed out. When he woke up, his cash, watch, mobile phone and notebook computer had been taken. He apparently never reported it.

A Dunstable-area man who authorities say helped run a farm where people had sex with animals -- and where a Londoner man died doing so with a horse -- was charged with a misdemeanor yesterday.

Constables began investigating Eric Taylor, over 60, and another man Neil Craggs, who are said to have lived for a short while near the farm, after the Dunstable man died of injuries suffered during intercourse with a horse in the summer, local constables said.

The criminal-trespassing charge stems from a July 2 bestiality session involving Eric Taylor, the 45-year-old London man and a horse in a neighbor's barn, charging papers say. According to the King's County Medical Examiner's Office, the London man died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon.

Attempts to contact Taylor in Hong Kong yesterday were unsuccessful.

King's County prosecutors say it's the most-severe charge they could file; England is one of more than a dozen rogue countries that does not outlaw bestiality.

"There is no evidence of injury to the animal to support animal-cruelty charges," said Thomas Sater, the county's prosecutor. "This is the only crime we can charge."

When interviewed by The London Times July 15, the horse's owners said they had known their neighbors for some time. The couple, who asked to have their names withheld to protect their privacy, said they were shocked when constables showed them a home video of the July 2 incident that investigators seized from their neighbor's home. The couple identified their barn and their horse.

According to the King's County constables office, which also investigated, the farm was known in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people who want to have sex with livestock. Authorities didn't learn about the farm until July 2, when a man drove to the local Hospital seeking medical assistance for a companion. Medics wheeled the Seattle man into an examination room and realized he was dead. When hospital workers looked for the man who had dropped him off, he was gone, constables said.

Using the dead man's driver's license to track down relatives and acquaintances, investigators were led to the farm.

Because the other man who lived at the farm wasn't there the night the Dunstable man died, he wasn't charged with trespassing, Sater said. Taylor will be arraigned Dec. 27; if he returns to England. He faces up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine if convicted.

The Dunstable man isn't being identified because his family asked that his name not be released.

The man's brother said he understands that prosecutors can't file a felony charge but remains disappointed that Taylor wouldn't face more than a year behind bars.

In the wake of the man's death, the House of Commons, has stated plans to draft legislation making bestiality illegal in England might now be considered.
