Spare Rib and I were joint hares for a Friday 13th run with the GONADs (GOing Nowhere Always Drunk) Hash House Harriers last week. We led a group of enthusiastic hashers around the Cinquintinaire Park area of Brussels for a Hash Run full of blood and horror.We had a great time with
- a flogging
- a disembowelment
- a murder and
- a stoning.
The first Murder Scene was a flogging to represent all the murdered slaves
Flaming Cocktrix's flogging was at the rather non-pc memorial to Belgium's exploits in the Congo in the Cinquintinaire Park - don't worry it was fake blood.
Then Cl'oysters' disembowelment was performed by a statue of a large dog also in the Park. While I narrated "The Lion and Albert" Spare Rib decorated Cl'oysters with raw mince and fake blood. Why the statue of a dog? Well we couldn't find a statue of a lion!
Yark Sucker's murder was a re-enactment of a real murder committed in London in 1938.
But we added the worms (baby eels which turned out to be very tasty) to add to the whole effect.
Inspector Spare Rib quickly apprehended the guilty party (Blue Willy) and handed out summary justice.
The stoning was by the bells of a demolished church just a few hundred metres from the Park. I told the story of the Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of the Witches) the Church inspired persecution and murder of (mainly) women throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.
I acted as the "Witch Finder General" and quickly found the witches (Dominicetrix and Pink Panther) in the pack
and after torturing them to gain their confession
we stoned them to death (with wet newspaper).
Everyone had a good time on the run and the party afterwards, hosted by Pink Panther, was fun too (what I remember of it).
Apparently the Friday 13th run is a regular feature with the London H3 where they go around and re-enact murders in the locations they happened.
Sadly that was the only Friday 13th in 2008, but there will be 3 next year.
