Hellhounds at the Velkommen - EVERY Friday

After last week’s night of great music and debauchery, the Hellhounds are appearing AGAIN this Friday (and every friday) at The Velkommen inn on 104.

Starting at 8pm.

www.P2H3.com Revised

Yes, after a year of minimal action or change on the main www.p2h3.com website, the new Hash Webmaster has been busy.  Gone are the out-of-date links to the 2006 Hash Prelube and Mekong River Swim, and in of course are the links to this Blog site!!

A new feature is the Hash Trails Google Map of all the trails I have captured on my GPS (about 33 since run #805) for your viewing pleasure.  The Google map is fully interactive so you can zoom in and move around the map, add satellite imagery behind if you like.  Click on the marker to get the run number (note some sit on top of each other though).  You can download the kml (google earth file) by typing in the link http://www.p2h3.com/trails/kml/p2h3_run8##.kml where obviously the ## is the run number. I can’t change the colours I’m afraid of trails, and will work out an easier way to download soon.

If you have any other suggestions for minor changes to the Hash website let me know by leaving a comment below

Enjoy

Mismanagement meeting

Mismanagement committee meets 8pm this Wednesday at the Velkommen Inn.

Expect a truckload of issues and interminable speechmaking.  ON ON!!

Erection ‘08: Road to the Hash House

Anyone viewing members of the Hash Committee drunkenly Macarena their way across the Mekong on the prow of a riverboat last Sunday evening might have wondered how it is that the Hash continues to function in the face of so much individual dysfunction.

How do these clowns know how many runs I’ve done? How do the drinks just appear there in the truck? Where do the Hares come from? How can I take that wooden phallus home?

Obviously there are a few people working (not very hard admittedly) behind the scenes to make sure there is a run and a walk every week.

Once a year we have erections for places on the mismanagement committee.

This year the erections are mooted for 31 August.

None of the roles take much time, all are easy and some are even enjoyable. Spot the lie in that sentence. But note that you don’t need to have been in PP since the year dot to be a Committee member. Just talk with the peeps below and they will gladly tell you what they do…and then nominate you. Once installed on the committee, you have access to irregular meetings at the Velkommen inn, you become privy to a lot of secret Hash lore, and you get the special Hash Committee ringtone.

The roles for erection are described below, along with the incumbents.

*Religious Advisor (RA)

The Hash’s moral compass. Offers guidance and instruction to hashers. The RA notes any sins committed and metes out punishment, usually in the form of a down-down. The RA may invite other Hashers to  snitch on their colleagues. The RA is also solely responsible for the weather. (Talk to Rubbed Raw or Tokyo Joe among others).

*Hash Cash

The Hash accountant. Collects the run fees, money from clothing sales, pays the Hash Vehicle, pays out for the beer and drinks and generally balances the books. (Talk to Little Boy).

* Hash Beer/Booze

Buys the beer, soft drinks, water and ice and ensures that they get into the Hash Vehicle on time. Ensures that stock does not go missing. Keeps an inventory of stock. (Flaccido Domingo is your man).

* Hash Stats

Collects registration data at the Railway Station. Furnishes stats to the Hash Webmaster for uploading to the website. During the Circle, informs the GM and the RA of Virgins, Anniversariods, Returnees, Leavers, etc. (Phlegm is doing ATM).

* Hareraiser

Maintains the Receding Hareline, ie the list of Hares for upcoming runs. Informs the GM during the circle of next week’s hares.  In the event that Hares are not present, contacts them to remind them. Might also provide advice to new Hares or pair them up with an older hand (Talk to Mr Tinkle).

*Hash Haberdashery

Brings t-shirts and other hash paraphernalia to the run for sale. Also delivers stock/collects proceeds from retail outlets authorised by the MMC. Maintains an inventory of stock. Responsible for production of any t-shirt/paraphernalia to be sold on the Hash and for seeing that sponsor’s logo-display agreements are respected. (Madame Ovary or Yap Yap).

*Hash Flash

Takes great photos and delivers them to the P2H3 main website. (Yap Yap)

*Hash Trash

Produces whatever form of Hash newsletter/pamphlet/magazine/communication they desire…Or just takes over this blog (Talk to Ikea or Rubbed Raw).

*Choirmaster

Leads the circle in singing, brandishes the ‘baton’ (Leaking Duck does this).

*Hash Webmaster/Bitch

Maintains, improves, generally does what they like with the main P2H3 website (Talk to Squint Westward if you can catch him, or Checkaround for advice).

**Thanks to Tokyo Joe for the notes this was cribbed from.  Committee members pls comment if we’ve missed anything here.

Place: Skun, Pisey’s relatives house (at Skun take road to Kampong Cham, cross 2 bridges, and then turn Right at a pagoda archway (maybe 1km or less out of town) which will hopefully be marked)

Time: 11am

Date: Saturday 5th July

Transport: Arrange your own, or contact Flaccido Domingo on 011 200429 before Wednesday as he may arrange a minibus if there are enough numbers. Everyone will return to PP that afternoon.

It would be great if you could make it and have a big pack for this important run!

On On!!

Upcumming events…

1. Red Dress Run

‘Those shorts are a disgrace’ - a scene from last year’s run

This SATURDAY, 3pm - meet at the big old Post Office (near street 104) (NOT the railway station).

The SUNDAY run is on as normal: 2.45pm at the railway station.

2. Hash Mismanagement Meeting

For the mismanagement committee: 7.30 Wednesday at Herring Choker’s bar.

Hash announcements

Some Hash stuff you might have missed…

This Wednesday evening (11 June) all regular Hashers are invited down to Herring Choker’s Bar on 104 where the free stuff will be flowing from 9pm until it is gone (for P2H3 Hashers only). Courtesy of Blah Blah…

And, as announced over on the Official Hash Website:

Red Dress Run - 3pm, 28 June 2008 (a Saturday) - get all frocked up in red and make Hashing even more risible and humiliating than normal.

No doubt it will rain. So consider whether that diaphonous red negligee will show you off in the best possible light (for most the answer is definitely NO!, but ask Hash Trash if unsure). Our Hash uber-chic-uber-fashion-uber-policeman Flying Plod will be the judge for Fashions on the (Paddy) Field and even if you don’t win, you will certainly benefit from his views on what’s hot and what’s just humid and a wee bit sticky in the world of high fashion, with particular reference to Fester’s ebay shorts.

ON ON

GM Blackout resigns

GM of the Phnom Penh Hash, Blackout, — seen here looking for a shortcut — has stepped down from his position, citing fairly boring but sensible reasons.

His reign has been a bounteous and eventful time for the Hash, with many new feet and a lot of fun in the circle. All the best to Blackout and Insider, we look forward to your downs downs as returnees one day. Now bugger off!

In other matters, here are two highlights from the Yap Yap Hash Snap retrospective:

HashTrash Note: Photos deleted due to irrelevance - go to hash Snaps

Advertorial: Velkommen Inn Velcomes Hash

FRB Herring Choker and his better half Thida invited Hashers to the opening of their new guesthouse/bar, the Velkommen Inn.

On hearing the words ‘free Anchor’, Hashers rampaged down to Street 104 like Vikings on an Orkney monastery, drinking and eating everything in sight. New GM Blah Blah offered up a Hash blessing then it was back to the pillaging. A few hashers propped up the very comfortable bar into the early hours, telling stories of North Sea whale hunts from yesteryore.

The Velkommen Inn offers pleasant rooms in a tourist-friendly location near the bus, boat and Wat Phnom. Plenty of girly bars nearby and they also have monkeys, if that’s your thing.
