Run No #1933
Hare: Prick
Venue: Under the Ron Camm Bridge
Hashers: ?
Under threatening skies, the pack assembled at the start of the Cathy Freeman walking track, under the Ron Camm bridge. After waiting for Corgy and Daffodil, the pack eventually rambled off heading south and east at a check to start the run no less, along the walkway. Prick being the sneaky prick that he is, hid an arrow under a bush to make it look like he was hiding the correct way, which caught half the pack on a false trail. Eventually we all headed south along the Cathy Freeman walking track. Part way to the Base Hospital, we had a scenic stop on the river bank to admire the wonderful night view of the pioneer river reflecting the lights of Mackay. On we went to the Base, where there was another check, but no turning the pack now. Like a herd of cattle that have not had water for three days, they had the scent of the esky in their nostrils, and there was no chance of influencing them with a check in any opposite direction. Eventually on to Hume St. via Streeter Av. We made it back to base.
As a misting rain was falling, it was decided to move the proceedings to a dry spot under the bridge. Here we found a monument to a murdered young lady, and something that resembled a burial site. Not deterred, the old/new monk took charge of the circle. Down downs were given to the Hare, Prick and Tounger for being a naughty boy. Tounger was straight back out again with Viagra for wearing hats in the circle. Mango got a Hashy Birthday drink and song, Cuntry got one also for being late on his first day/run as trail master. Delicious and Piccolo both received a drink for talking in the circle. Blurry got one for some bullshit item and the Monk also received a drink for offering Mango a cup to skull with no amber fluid within.
A couple of jokes were told that raised a laugh, then Tarzan as conductor, rallied the pack in a lively rendition of the club song.
Out came the nosh, hot pies and sauce. At first all we saw was tomato sauce and paper towels, and were thinking that we were going to have a lasagne type dish with layers of paper and sauce. The usual chatter took over and the rain became more serious. Pensioner had to leave early with Mango…..something about having to get home to give her a birthday present?? Eventually we all headed off to home. Thanks to Flaps for saving Blurry and Hot Rocks a wet walk home, by driving them.
Next weeks run. Eastern end of East Gordon Street, at the car park and BBQ area.
ON ON……….Blurry.
