Hare: Teflon
Venue: Mango Ave. Eimeo
Hashers: 22
22 hardy souls braved the elements to turn up at Teflon’s place. For the first time ever, there was Teflon guiding traffic for parking places. But we all seemed to get a satisfactory place to leave our vehicles and head into her place.
Well, not so hardy, and the elements actually were almost perfect – except for the bloody mossies. As usual, a picture perfect view of the ocean just across her back fence.
Of course, Teflon was too smart to actually set the trail herself, so she co-opted Golly as a willing soul to actually do all the work. Actually not so much work.
We stood around and talked idle chit chat till Golly called the pack together, waved vaguely in the direction of the raging seas and left us to it.
The trail started out to be interesting, along the sea shore, over some slippery rocks, but then up the bank and onto terra firma.
Then off along a trail on roads, paths, nothing to even get my boots a bit muddy. Flat as a tack. Till we got home after about an hour. Pretty short trail.
But well marked. Needless to say, I managed to follow a false trail to a mark for on back. By the time I had got back on the trail, everyone had disappeared.
Finally got back to the On Home, grabbed a freezing cold one – onya Nicka Licka – and joined into the chit chat. Teflon turned on some very nice snacks, and eventually the circle was called. The usual trivia for the hares, down downs for a returning runner; Snot got a couple for some bullshit story of a truck on fire; Pensioner got one for holding hands in the circle; a couple of lame jokes.
Then the event of the night – Raggedy Ann got called into the circle – the stunned expression on her face was priceless. Can’t recall what was the nature of her misdemeanor, but I am sure that it was well deserved.
JCF was remonstrating about this being his last circle. Then the circle was closed – but Golly got one last one for leaving a stubby half full.
Then Teflon brought on some really good nosh, we all tucked in till we were stuffed, more beers, more bullshit.
Then off home.
Next week’s run is at the Mackay Bowls Club on Nebo Road, next to the KFC. By the way, it is also the AGPU.
