BH32 HORNY HERRING AT TAMAN MUMBAL

SATURDAY 16TH OCTOBER 2021

I wasn’t there, so what can I say about it, save that if HORNY HERRING was HARE it must have been a good show? You knew of course that it was Tumpek Uduh and saw to it that all your trees were well adorned. And I hardly need to tell you that it was Hari Pangan Sedunia (World Food Day) when we are bound to consider the starving masses of sub-Saharan Africa. Most notably for us aesthetes it was the birthday of Eugene LONG DAYS JOURNEY INTO NIGHT O’Neill (1888) – greatest Septic playwright of all and Nobel Laureate of Literature.

So why wasn’t I there? You don’t really want to know. Suffice to say here that mid-week saw another HASH happening, and at my advanced stage of years once a week does me. Yes, it was LABIA’s Birthday Run on Oct 14th up in the hills at BALI TREKK Aumann – a right perisher – of 14 k continuous trail and start when you feel like it in dribs and drabs. Not really an exercise in togetherness. Perfect conditions however and excellent attendance (considering distance from home), of mostly FROGS and KRAUTs who have well known masochistic tendencies. NAUGHTY NURI took our dosh most courteously and I thought that CHICKEN SHIT’s conduct of the circle quite admirable. He of course is JOINT MASTER of BH3 with LABIA and the rumour that he was starting a BH2III has no foundation what-so-bleeding-ever. For the undoubted edification of the FROG contingent I contrived to give them BRAVE MARGOT – not the Brassens aversion mais peu plus paillard even, and we were all reminded that General and President IKE Eisenhower was born on this very day – also 1888. May you live an hundred years and drink a million beers – Get plastered you bastard, Happy Birthday to you. Thank you dear LABIA.

UTAMI too, CO-HARE et fondateur de la fete avec circonflexe, I don’t think, by the way, that it can be Melati Belanda, vernacularly known as Chinese Honeysuckle, a creeper with red flowers; more likely a kind of Brunfelsia (‘Yesterday-today-and-tomorrow’) bush with blue and white flowers. But bugger that, the fact of Javan Munias nesting within an inch of your BINTANG and elbow is nothing short of miraculous. Two two two clutches of five eggs, said UTAMI. How wonderful. Serpent Eagle heard first thing and screeching chloris (Kingfisher) too too too.
