Egghead's Greatest Challenge

For all of you spoilsports who have been hoping for an Egghead run shorter than the average feature-length film . . . don’t miss Hatyai Hash on Sunday! Egghead has taken on the astonishing challenge of setting a run that will start at 4 pm. and aims to deliver its runners to a wedding in Songkha at 6 pm. And not just any wedding, but that of the son of Hatyai H3 GM Palm Job. Screw up this one and it’d be like messing with the wedding of the daughter of Don Corleone.

So how, one has to wonder, will the resourceful Ovoid One handle this trickiest of assignments? Will he play it on the ragged edge like Rotten Johnny would, just setting one of his usual epic runs and hoping the whole thing plays out just this side of disaster? Or will he rein it in to the point that it’s an insipid parody of a real Egghead run? Will he nanny-hare us to death? Well, it's a live-hare run, so that's unlikely, but don't underestimate him. And, most importantly, will anyone get lost or fall hopelessly behind? Egghead runs seem to have that effect on people.

If there was ever a run that deserved live helicopter coverage . . . .
