Royal Southside Hash Trash - Run 1691 "Last weeks of American rule!!"

Hareline:

The Hare

Caligula - despotic, mad, fornicating one time emperor of Rome, known for attention to details and love of exotic foreign food!! BUT did he have a moustache?

The Pre-Run:

A reasonable size pack made their way to the run site where returnee Haggis passed a comment to me which led to the theme for these notes, no not which Girlie bar has the hottest LBFM's but the emergence/return of the moustache to the Southside. So some investigations later we now have below the history of the moustache in the Royal Southside

Furry Phenomenon
In the last few months a strange phenomenon has been creeping into the Royal Southside Hash in the form of gay, bum bandit, shirt lifter face fuzz. Ever since the release of the movie 'Brokeback Mountain' more and more gentlemen of the Royal South Side have begun sporting muff dusters. So where did this fixation with facial hair come from. The following is a potted history of hash tashes illustrated by some very famous Hashers sporting their minge velcro.

A very young Pugak with Hash Tash & hair	Definition Moustache (sometimes spelt mustash in the US where they also can't spell colour, aluminium or aeroplane) is facial hair grown above the upper lip by adolescent men of questionable sexual morals and orientation.
History Mustaches were adopted by Welsh peasant women in the 14th century so that Welsh men could tell them apart from pit ponies. It was a common mistake in the early 1400's for young, sexually eager Welshmen, who had spent their teenage years underground in coal mines, secluded from any female company, to accidentally lose their virtue to a pit pony in the mistaken belief that something so good looking must obviously be a maiden.

ET at the 1st RS2H3 Gentlemen's Evening	When Christopher Columbus discovered America he stopped off in Wales on-route to load up with mustaches which he later traded with the American Indians for potatoes and Levi jeans. Thus the mustache was introduced to America where it quickly became popular with cowboys, sailors and Hell's Angel bikers.
It was these very same sailors who introduced the moustache to the Philippines where it became popular with the young ladies of Angeles City and many of them can still be seen sporting the unsightly facial hair to this day.	Dribble with Hash Tash in 1953
A very young Private Smegma cica 1830	Albert Gispert brought one of these mustaches back from a boys golf tour of Angeles to the KL Hash where he awarded it as a Wanker of the Week award. This original Hash Tash was won by Dribble Dick in 1953 who brought it to the Royal south Side Hash where it sadly fell out of use.
It wasn't until relative newcomer, Haggis re-introduced the Hash Tash from a lesser hash that it once again became popular with the Royal Southside. Very soon Hash Tashes started to reappear being sported by Jelly Fish and even Private Smegma who hasn't worn a Tash since his Army days whilst serving with the 24th Regiment of Foot and Mouth.

Small Bone - the most recent sporter of a Hash Tash	Now even the Hash Master, Small Bone has jumped on the band wagon and is attempting to cultivate a hash Tash. In fact he has declared the forthcoming AGM as a Tash only event and all Hasher must either run with a Tash or be penalised by severe DownDowns. So it looks like the tradition of Hash Tash has returned to the South Side and is hear to stay.

The Run:

I could have asked Caligula to send me a note describing the route but what the hell here goes, we set off towards the waterfront only to go left and find a checkback and then spent a hairy moment or two crossing more traffic and heading along towards Causeway Bay for a bit before the second check caused confusion until Tinks went through the city engineers pound and found trail. Crossing back into Wan Chai we headed across the main arteries and eventually all came to a halt at a check where sometime was spent for most of the pack except Smallbone, Kiwi and Irish Spew who had guessed correctly earlier and were well out in front.

Eventually STFU, Dr Evil, Emmaroyds, virgin (shit cannot find his name) and a couple of others found trail and ended up heading up onto Bowen Road for a gentle jog along to the Playground where a check held us up briefly before heading down Bowen Drive to Kennedy Road and on down again, through Monmouth Steps to the flyover to the HK Academy of performing Arts. A check just after there saw us head up a another flyover and eventually back onto the original Harbour main drag for a run back into the Gardens. Short cutting was rampant but overall an enjoyable run when not dodging traffic or pedestrians.

With Caligula as hare I thought pictures of romans throwing christians to lions or gladiators doing battle would be good..... but then again the great sport of beaver spotting is more fun so here we go
