#2575 – The Hare Who Came In From The Cold
Details
On a cloudy night at the edge of Yangmingshan, by the barbed wire and landmines that mark the border between Taipei and New Taipei, a shadowy figure sits on a bench. Another figure arrives, checks that no one is watching, and sits down. -Ow! You sat on me! -Sorry, Hey Hey, I didn’t see you in the dark. -Shhh, first use the code phrase. -Sigh… “R U?” -“On On.” Thank you for meeting me here, I Wanna Be GM. -You didn’t make it easy to find you. Did you have to encode all your messages in foreign languages? I thought you would be Indian, or Thai. -Nope, I’m Tai. -That’s… never mind. I brought the stuff. [I Wanna Be GM pulled out a brick of flour wrapped in duct tape.] -I made it look ultra-suspicious, just like you asked. -Perfect! It looks so much cooler that way. -Do you have my payment? -I do. [Hey Hey pulled out a pack of pure, uncut betel nuts.] -You know you can get these literally anywhere in Taiwan, right? Doesn’t matter. So what’s the plan? -The plan is an A-A run, 7K long, 450m elevation, and a short for the slowpokes. -Are you worried you’ll be caught? People can’t find you even when you want to be found. -That is true. In fact, you still haven’t found me. -What? -I was never here. This meeting never happened. And just like that, the future GM of New Taipei Hash vanished into the gloom, crossing the border into his territory. I Wanna Be GM took off her slipper and furtively spoke into the secret phone built within: “He has taken the bait.” “Good,” said her handler on the other end, the nefarious Dr. Binlang, “then Operation Red Spit is a go.” 在一個多雲的夜晚,陽明山邊緣,台北和新北交界的鐵絲網和地雷旁,一個模糊的身影坐在長椅上。另一個身影悄悄靠近,確認沒有人在看,然後坐了下來。 “哎喲!你坐到我身上了!” “抱歉,Hey Hey,我在黑暗中沒看到你.” “噓,用密碼確認先。” “ㄜ⋯R U?” “On On”。很好,感謝你來這裡見我,I Wanna Be GM。” “你讓我好難找到你。你真的需要把所有訊息都用外語編碼嗎?我還以為你是印度人,或者泰國人。” “不,我是正港台灣人。” “那…算了。我照約定把東西帶來了。” I Wanna Be GM 拿出一塊用膠帶包裹的麵粉磚 “我把它弄得超可疑,就像你要求的那樣。” “完美!這樣看起來酷多了。” “你帶我的報酬了嗎?” “帶了。” Hey Hey 拿出一包純正的檳榔 “你知道這些在台灣隨便哪裡都買得到吧?⋯哎呀算了不重要啦!那這次跑步的計劃是什麼?” “計劃是一次 A-A 跑,7公里長,450米爬升,還有一條給老弱婦孺的短路。” “你不擔心被抓嗎?人們想找你都找不到” “確實如此。事實上,你還沒找到我。” “什麼?” “我從來沒有來這裡。這次會面從未發生過。” 說完,未來的新北hash GM 消失在黑暗中,越過邊界進入他的地盤。I Wanna Be GM 拿下拖鞋,偷偷對內藏的秘密電話說:「他已經上鉤了。」 「很好,」另一端的邪惡檳榔博士說,「那麼紅唇行動啟動。」 ******WHO? / 誰?****** Hare 主兔: Hey Hey Cohare 副兔: I Wanna Be GM ******WHAT? / 蝦咪******* A:A run / 路線:A to A L: 7km + 450m elevation gain (best scenery on the L) S: 4km + 250m elevation gain Hares highly recommend to bring gloves *******WHEN / 啥時******* Date: Sunday, October 13, 2024 Time: Hares off at 14:00 兔子兩點半起跑 *******WHERE / 哪兒******* 至善路三段336巷停車場 https://maps.app.goo.gl/qFV4M2ECf8BxePJ1A ******HOW? / 怎去******* Bus 小18 from MRT R15 or R16, (every 30 mins) , get off at 聖人橋 (Shenren bridge), and walk 1.2km (slightly uphill) *******PRICE******* Men $250 Women $200 *******BASH / 晚餐******* 一極鮮熱炒 https://maps.app.goo.gl/RkJaST9zqWNkVhZU6
