Horny kindly stepped up to the plate so I could spend the day with Terror Byte for his birthday, so I figured around 5pm, it was time to get away, get some exercise and see what he’d come up with… Expectations are generally low when you see HM on the hareline, and he generally finds a way to fall short of even the lowest expectations…
Anyway, the fitness park between CMU & the zoo – about 800m from Horny’s house, the closest you could get… Rather than waiting for the rain to stop this morning, he headed out to lay trail. Failing to prepare is like preparing to fail, and when HM realised that powder probably wouldn’t last long, he cut up about 5 pages of the yellow pages (into tiny tiny squares) and proceeded to try and set a run with it. The yellow pages has several properties – first when it gets when it quickly vanishes, 2nd, when it is cut small enough it looks exactly like the leaves it’s been dropped in and when used sparingly, is impossible to lay a trail with!
Horny also forgot about taking anything with which to lay checks, so improvised by graffiti – spray painting circles on the street. And it turned out the street was in CMU. We had to climb over a gate to break into the uni grounds – as I work there, I wasn’t sure quite what to think, but hey – On On! Confusion reigned from the start of the run, until the point that the majority of the pack abandoned the effort…
Highlights(?) or lowlights(?)… Well, laying the trail through the College of Arts Media and Technology – I hope no one recognised me! HM also decided to skirt around the women’s dorm, and take us right by the Men’s Dorm – anything we should know? Anyway – across the other side of the uni, by my office, with cars driving all around us, it was impossible to hear anyone call, and trail was hard to find, so I gave in and headed back to the B site (fortunately HM had told us he was taking us ‘home’). Not far behind me, half the rest of the pack also gave up (but without really knowing where HM lived) – fortunately I intercepted them walking aimlessly around on Huay Kaew Road. As for the rest? Who knows? After close to an hour and a half, I set off home for dinner with Terror Byte.
