The Xmas Wings Run

RUN #773 - December 22, 1997

Dickons pub - Somewhere far south


I pulled up to the bar at about 7:10, (7:00 hash time), the group was already circled and introducing themselves. I jumped into the circle and waited my turn. There were two visitors, DICK HEAD, and RUNNING BARE ASS. The announcements were made, and the hares were called forth. We were then informed that the ON IN was to be at a different bar, Dickons Pub didn't want our business. LAP DOG and DREARY, described the marks, without visuals, and pointed to the first on mark. I overheard the visitors were not sure of the marks, so I explained quickly, while running, I don't know how much they got or understood. We didn't loose them though. We were off and across the busy road, waiting for the lights, then around Midnapore, there were lots of long check backs, and the hares said we had found every one of them. KAPTAIN VON KRAP was overheard to have a stiff leg, (which one?). We knew that there were two carol stops, (we never found Carol). The first stop, there was Root Beer Schnaps, to wet our whistle, and a great song re-worded by DREARY. It was all about POLE VAULT, and I can not remember a word. Then we were off again, through the neighbourhood, and all the checkbacks were found by me again. S.Q. was seen doing snow angels on the median, that proves she is a true angel. I gave up and started to walk with the wonderful HARE OF THE DOG . We were the last to the second carol stop, they had already sang the first song, and drank all of the Butterripple Schnaps. The second carol had the clew to the ending of the run. The ON - IN was straight back. All in all, the run was very good, not as cold as last year on wing night, and a few more people. The group then got to their cars and drove to the ON IN.

AT THE ON IN

I overheard that the dashing and distinguished 007 was true to his reputation, he gave to Hasheretts the ride of their lives back to the starting point.
KRUSTY, trying not to be outdone, donned his suit jacket, just because he had one with him. (Secret identity?)
