#769 (Tuesday 14 April'98) Hares Bwana and Leone from Bar Tartuga, off Corso
Lodi. This is not meant as a proper write-up (lets call it a normal Bwana
Rite Right-up) as there is little time before getting this out. Tonedeaf
was not too muffed at Bwana's flyer saying "it is so far from McDuff's
that not even Tone-Deaf would be able to set a beer stop there!!" as they
had a good pint of Murphy's. Bwana commandeered a map Tonedeaf produced
showing a highlighted route from (or in reverse to) the Lucky 7 and
Brazilian Bar but Bwana had other ideas as he co-opted Leone as a virgin
hare and asked for a good start. Two pints of Murphy's and 15 minutes
later we were off checking East, West and South (by lack of necessity the
map didn't cover any further North). 50 metres and 20 minutes later we
were still checking for the real trail and Iron Bum, white Fang, Cheesy
Dick and Joergen were missing and obviously heeding a wankers short-cut
(down-downs to all). Down downs for Fabulous for thinking an elongated
blob was a bar and trying to explain to Bart-Jan who did not question it
as he doesn't understand anything our RA says. Paint Stripper re-found
Fabulous's false False-Trail and after an hour of being discretely
followed by the Carabs (maybe coincidence of keeping popping up or they
didn't want to get involved) we found ourselves still looking for the
Beer-Stop 500 metres from the On-Inn. We followed the trail going the
"wrong way" from P.zza Lodi loosing Bart-Jan on the way (down-down from
the RA as he got lost 2 weeks in a row ... verified by the RA as he got
lost the first time with him) and starting to think Mega-Hare Sparky
Carpark had taken over. This was eventually discounted as we recalled
taking turns 20 minutes before to check-out a mega false trail to inspect
its bar which comprised an extremely uniform 2 metres by 15 centimetres by
1 cm thick line with perfectly parallel sides and must have occupied the
Layer 5 minutes and consumed a whole bag of flour (Leone must have lost
here her hare virginity at this point, the Layer got laid.) and to
celebrate Fabulous suggested an impromptu beer-stop round the corner in
the club he used to co-own. Looping back 20 mins later to the same P.zza
Lodi new flour was found and arrows to the On-In 2 minutes away. We just
missed catching the hares but as Bwana pointed out "as the hares were
always right" (the exception being when he is not a hare), only because we
were incompetent at following his trail and we cut off 4 kms of beautiful
shiggy, a beer-stop and a dark alley-way with cut-throat delinquents. At
this point he expressed a concern (albeit fleeting) that the wankers (who
were missing) might be getting accosted or even worse were still at the
beer-stop. The circle was interrupted by a girl (Alessandra) on a motorino
trying to park and was awarded a down-down and invited to join us. She
seemed genuinely interested until the wankers turned up and both White
Fang and Iron Bum went into their normal non-drinking down-down mode and
Alessandra copped most of the contents of both mugs on discharge. Marco
was called "Aspettate" (or something close) and knuckled down for a
series of down-downs, Tonedeaf sharing the last for deserving one but for
no recountable reason.
The On-Inn in the Bar Tartuga (which Bwana had found and declared "new to
hashers" and which no-one but only he could have known about) was great
with good and abundant food, antipasto, lassagne, flavoured rice with
meat-balls, (we were stuffed at this point) then mixed salad arrived, then
stew and roast potatoes for only 25,000 including wines (God, how does
Bwana do it???). Aspettate had a quick word in the kitchen and produced
caffe and big grappas. On being asked for cash by Bwana, Aspettate
explained he had already paid. "Paid who" demanded Bwana. "My brother"
said "Aspettate", and on seeing Bwana's uncomprehending look added "he
owns this place". ("boom boom" as Basil Brush would say.)
