The Gin n Snake Run
Blackmore Drive
Hares: Lost Marbles and Gary
On On: Red Lantern
The Run:
Well, first of all this run report is rather late. Why? Because the notes disappeared somewhere between the run site and home. Why? Well it might have had something to do with the drink stop.
So, the run, at least what I remember of it – down Blackmore we went, and over the road on the rather rickety overhead bridge. Up to the old railway line, where a circle check fooled people like me into heading north when the on was in fact south. Bugger.
South south south we went on the railway line until we exited at Bukit Sedap Road and out to Holland Road where a circle check awaited. I picked the wrong direction, again. Down Greenleaf Road where I found a few people milling around having lost trail, including Sticky Ring. “Oh, it must go up here” I remarked, up past the driveway of someone’s house behind their plants which requires twinkle toes balance to stay on the very fine ridge-line. Sticky Ring complained that she could just go down Greenleaf Road, but she relented and followed us up the hill.
We followed the line of the houses over the hill and down along the back of Greenleaf Rise, where it all went to custard. We caught up with Just Jane and a few others who shrieked and said they had seen something moving. Given that the hares had given me some inside information – that Lost Marbles had scared a Cobra away by nearly stepping on it while laying the run; I was a little nervous. Sweet Thighs decided to go in for a closer look (brave) while I grabbed a branch and started banging away at the ground. This seemed to infuriate a bee nest (probably) and they proceeded to sting Sticky Ring in the thigh and Dragon Breath somewhere else?
Excitement over, we slide down the embankment to Greenleaf Ave and then on back to Holland Road and a drink stop at the corner of Holland Plain. And what a drink stop it was, fabulous G n T where no expense was spared on the G. A short stumble back to the run site, thanks hares for a very good run.
The Circle:
Crikey, so what did we think of that for a run? Too many snakes and bees. Too much Gin. Good Run.
Tell us about your On On: At the reduced Red Lantern, we had a lovely meal for $12.
Next week’s run (was): Fort Canning Park, by Hooray.
Guests: sorry, lost the list.
Lipstick: Well I lost the list, but I did take a photo, so I know it was Boo, Comes Quietly, Malfunktion, Butt Wiper, Hooray, and someone else, obscured.
Virgins: I think there were a couple of virgins, but lost track.
New Member: Nope.
Tits: Goes Down Easy has the tits. Running across the road before the hill to the railroad path, Fat Crashing Bastard stopped abruptly and yelled not to run up the hill, but rather turn right… which caused Goes Down Easy (me) to slightly bump into him. Then, he turned to me and said, “You can body check me anytime.” Too Easy was not too thrilled with that…so FCB gets the tits.
Dick: Wet ‘n Wild has a few candidates for the Dick. She starts with Goes Down Easy and Fu&*in’ Easy, for their after run routine. Of particular interest was Fu&*in’ Easy, who seemed to be plucking his eyebrows in the car. The other candidates were Sneaky Comer and Sticky Ring. Sneaky Comer is paranoid about snakes, so he beat the ground stirring up a bee’s, or hornet’s nest, for Sticky Ring to run into. F&*kin’ Easy gets the tits.
Banana Protector: No idea.
Awards – Nope.
AOB:
Sorry folks, I lost your wonderful charges but it was a funny circle. Thanks to Stiffy and Goes Down Easy for reminding me of a couple:
- Goes Down Easy charged Lost Marbles and Gary for such a long walk for us back from the drink stop – was it to sober up or just for the fun of the stagger. Goes Down Easy ask what was the difference between gin and vodka…charged Not Tonight because she had a nice description of what wheat looks like… grows straight up… and what barley looks like… grows over at an angle (making finger motions)… overall, I think we never found out the answer..
-
Stiff reports that his school has had posters put up in the men’s room reminding the men that they need to pee clear water – the more yellow the pee is, the less healthy. I guess the point is to drink more water. Stiffy’s problem was pointing – the sign was so high up on the wall that it was almost impossible to pee on it to check the pee against the colour chart. Next time, can the head nurse put the poster in an easier to reach spot? On in Lost Marbles.
On that note, On On to the On On.

There where two snakes talking. The 1st one said ‘Sidney, are we the type of snakes who wrap ourselves around our prey and squeeze and crush until they’re dead? Or are we the type of snake who ambush our prey and bite them and they are poisioned?’. Then the second Snake says “Why do you ask?” The 1st one replies: “I just bit my lip!”
