Run No #1871
Hare: Piccolo
Venue: 82 Grendon St North Mackay
Hashers: 28 Lots
A new venue and lots of Hashers turned up for Piccolo’s first (virgin) run. Thank god for that, she has been as nervous as a virgin in a brothel for weeks about it. A good 5 hours over three secessions was spent tromping all over North Mackay until she was finally satisfied. I blame “the Prick” for that, because he advised her make the run a hard one, “to make the bastards suffer”. Then didn’t turn up. Monk please note.
At as close to 6.00 as it is possible with that rabble, the herd were sent off in two directions, runners one way, walkers the other, while there was still some daylight left to see the special features of a well thought out trail. But as usual as soon as there was the slightest deviation from a super highway in the trail the first breakaway group wimped out and headed back home. Muttering of wimp’s, soft cocks and chicken were heard wafting through the breeze behind them.
At this point a commendation of bravery for Mango, who is not happy with heights, ventured onto the bridge anyway . Then when the brain started to take note of her surroundings special thanks to DT who leaping from girder to girder like a spider monkey assisted her safely to the other side.
Once all the Hashers were safely across the bridge back on trail, we then lost another splinter group, but led by the intrepid Smegma the rest of us followed the trail over a small creek with its stone causeway, built by the industrious trail setters, through the old dump, onto Harbour road. Only Raggedy Ann had a wobbly boot at the creek and ended up with one wet foot.
Back along Harbour road where 80% of drivers have no idea where the left hand side of their vehicle is in relation to pedestrians, into Hamilton St then On Home.
Back at the Piccolo ranch, the fire was glowing, the beer was flowing and conversations were growing, when some basted interrupted everything and called a circle. The hare’s were given down downs for setting an excellent run, I got another one I think for Alzheimer’s, DT for getting a new job, sane for Smegma I think, visitors for visiting and others but I can’t remember or was talking .
You only have two days to get discounted registration for beach party, but that finished Wednesday so forget that it’s too bloody late. More prizes wanted for the raffle. Song sung circle closed. Thank Christ for that because that is all I can remember.
What I do remember is the food. Started with homemade dips followed with Lasagne and curry and rice and topped off with apple pie and cream Not a bad spread for someone who has been telling us for months that she doesn’t know how to cook.
After that sumptuous meal managed to waddle back to the Esky for one last beer probably bored the crap out of people because not long after every one On On’d home.
Good run, good food, good night.
On On
