Run 397 05/09/09  Hares:   Feetall Fungus/Semi-Detached   GM – Hairy Chopper

Despite the threat of yet another downpour 25 bods turned out for this run. We had one pair of new shoes to christen, despite the wearer swearing they walked to Katmandu and back.  On inspection it was decided they had probably not come out of the suitcase and owner was duly executed and invited to drink beer out of shoe.   She wasted so much beer there were mutterings she should have had to wet the other shoe, too.

The rest of us were smugly joshing her about a run with wet foot, but only moments into the run we were sliding down a muddy bank and wading across a river in spate – hence we all had wet feet.   The run was interesting if a little odiferous in places with the lead changing all the time as we struggled to find flour blobs.   Detached brought up the rear as sweeper, and considering how long the stragglers took to get back he must have had a marathon job.     Conditions, being what they were, the Hares did a commendable job.

The GM had come armed with his list of offenders, as usual the cardboard ‘wobble board’ (and for those of you who don’t know what a w.b. is feel free to contact me for enlightenment) was the papyrus of choice.  He proceeded to execute a number of offenders.   3 and 1/2 Virgins, Downer and the kid virgin for taking a short cut, Upper and 1 virgin for getting muddy – although Upper really took the prize for the worst mucky pup.   There were a few returners, and after a lot of effort and cajolery Finnish and Horney offered to do the next run, again.   If we do not all take a turn the willing few might not be so willing in future – we all enjoy the fun, so help out a do a run.  Paddy Puffer will be the next GM.

Dinner was at the Nautilus, and in such a lovely setting we dined well and full.
