Finally. The Induction of the next candidate into the local Hall of Hash, better known as the OVH (Order of the Vindobona Hash).Inductee # 2 or runner up to the inimitable Lord Glo-Balls was Munk and the scene was set for Laxenburg Schlosspark where you basically cannot fail to set a good run and you definitely meet up with loads of nice mosquitos.
Since I couldn't be at the event for medical reasons, I thought that I'll just make up a short story, taking in account the 793 times we have been to Laxenburg before. Please take a few moments to admire photographic doumentation of a few decorations that have occured in the preceding weeks, not necessariliy in chronological order:
A very tasteful celebration
To be followed by
Somebody Else's dream
And ...
Well, another celebration
and eventually
The Return of the Cardinal!
The fact is that we are becoming a geriatric chapter and I think that this is a fine thing. Add new blood to oldish, well, local Hashers and people will think that the Vindobona Hash has got some tradition. Which it certainly has. Very Hashy Birthday to the following Harriette:
Flowers to the Lady!
Since I cannot say much more about all this in absence, on out herewith. More Muzak to follow.
One would expect that on the first Sunday of the famous Vindobona Skiweek there would be a slightly smaller crowd than usual and once could indulge in their very own personal misery and grumpyness (like I used to a great lot over the past months).
Trés surprenant, there will still 20+ up at behind the end of Johann Staud Gasse ready to rumble and roll.
Since snow has decided to stay with us forever from now, it was no big surprise that more than half of the track was covered with thick layers of muddy snow. It was fortunate enough though that the Hare My Sisters Glowing Cee U Next Tuesday revealed that this run was a backwards repeat of a thing she had set a year a two ago. Sex Energy and our Fallen Angel, teamed up with all of the Sex-O-Phone family took an easy break at a slightly muddy playground nearby the carpark. Credit to them to have made it all the way up the hill to the start of the run.
"You know, it is all Molotow's V*ginas Fault since SHE wanted to set a run in ze Prater somewhere bu since she left for a trip to Bangkok what can one do?" or so I heard the Hare say.
The usual passing by of the Jubiläumswarte followed, with the usual suspects going all the way up on top. After lots more snow and mud on the way back on over the Steinhofgründe and eventually back to the car park, the circle - with Richard Kopf beating Flying Durchman in the race for the last place - featured the second Hasher who reached his 1000th run here at the once World's Worst Hash.
Munk is second only to Lord Glo-Balls (OVH) -look out for him-
to have reached this magnificient number and it remains to be seen when the official induction ceremony into the Order of the Vindobona Hash shall happen. Stay tuned.
