HashTrash 2139 @ Teflon’s….

I have been coerced into writing this week’s report, cause Tonguer apparently can’t use a computer. Or is dyslexic. Or hurt his little pinky. Or some such…..Anyway, here we go…..

26 hashers gathered at Teflon’s Bucasia residence. After the usual milling about, Teflon declared herself a live hare, and said “follow me to the pissstop”, which may or may not have happened, dunno, I blew a fetlock after a km or so, and reluctantly headed back to the beer. This is where I discovered HashCash Delish had forgotten to turn up and the reigns had been delivered in my direction. This is where I also discovered that, having no previous warning, I hadn’t brought along my glasses, rendering me half-blind, so, with a borrowed pair I attempted to count the cash, only to find the HashPen had ran outta ink! Job finally done, the tribe settled in to chips n bikkies n dips n stuff, which got quickly scoffed, in time for the monk to yell his usual, and gathered the mob into a circle to regale them with historic questions. A down down for the hare, then onto the charges…. Lassie charged Tonto with something or other, dunno, no-one was listening, but Tonto bravely took a sip… as did Zorro, who was also charged with something…. by someone. Fork was called forward to receive a 500 run shirt. And Hare Teflon was called forward to receive a 300 run mug. A couple of birthday gals were bought forward, Mango turning into old age, and Raggedy Anne already being there!

A few old jokes were bandied about, with Wheelie doing a reconnaissance around the table in case some food had magically appeared. If anything else happened I forgot…. Then the choirmaster launched into a rousing rendition of the club song, and Everyone stopped listenin, 

And got on with the job, 

Which was drinkin beer,

And arguin,

And talkin of the heat,

And boggin in the bitumen,

In the middle of the street…… John O’Grady, Tumba Bloody Rumba

Sorry, got as little poetic there,

Now then, where was I? oh yeah….. Teflon dived into the kitchen and produced large pots of savoury mince and spuds with bread… good old “stick to your bones” tucker.

Munching done, the mob returned to the beer, and slowly started to wander off into the night.

Thanks Teflon, (with a little help from Hooker.)

Next week at Tonguer’s, the actual 40^th Anniversary Run of Mky H3 I’m reliably informed some old, old hashers from way way back will bless us with their presence. Along with the ghosts of hashers passed.

See ya there

Run No:  2137
Hare: Hard drive &Rarebit
Venue:  Slade Point
Hashers: 21      

Arrived at the designated location in the middle of a unseasonal dry cyclone, nearly lost Piccolo before she hid behind the car just to remain on site. Then I remembered that one of Gollies farts are strong enough to blow her sideways but had to revise back up to a gale warning when she climbed back into the car to stop her tobacco blowing away when rolling a cigarette. 

One of the advantages of arriving early to the run is to observe the facial expressions of the later arrivals, well last week it was a real treat. They ranged from complete disbelief  to horror for the lightly built, to “fuck off wind” for the more stoutly built,  up to doesn’t worry me from JCF. But it changed to relief when Hard drive came floating down the road wind behind him to inform everyone that we will be shifting  back to his place to get out of the wind.

The hare then explained that there were two trails one along the beach fully exposed to the wind for the intrepid and the other along the road parallel to the beach. So the hashers headed off on trail into the wind bent at 45 degrees and within a few mins had travelled 10 meters but they struggled on and eventually disappeared. As usual all hardships and complaints were forgotten when they arrived at the piss stop. Now with the breeze at their back they floated back home where Top-notch wasted no time in shifting the booze to the new location

Normality returned as conversation and alcohol flowed freely for a while then Smut in the guise as the monk again gave his captured audience another history lesson before accessing the performance of the group and the virgin hares. As all who attended will agree the boys (Hard drive & Rarebit)  did a bloody good job, a sentiment reinforced after the circle with the excellent food that followed. They did such a good job the down down mugs should have been bigger.

At this point I will mention the excellent effort given by the family who assisted with the food and the top grade musical entertainment by both Sam and her mother throughout the evening.

One of the better evenings with a bit of everything and some new things thrown in for good measure .   

Well that all folks.    On On

Hare: Pensch & Mango 
Venue: Carpark at end of Radiata Street Plantation Palms
Hashers: 20ish

I started the evening LOST.

Not knowing where to head to, since I did not bother to check Pensioner’s message, I decided to get there early and wait till I recognized a fellow Hasher, and follow them. 1^st to arrive was Golly n Ragerty. No luck there, as they seemed lost as well. Next came Nicker and Piccolo….no luck there as they seemed lost as well. Eventually with cars everywhere, we tailed on to someone who looked like they knew where they were going, and we all finally arrived at the ON ON.

Pensch gave us the instructions regarding the trail, and as Tounger was at the site, it was time to go.

Around the Eimeo/Rural View wetlands we set off following chalk and surveyors tape. The skies were swarming with little black bugs, but thankfully the wind was V strong, and kept them at bay. The water birds were prolific and swarmed into the air as a cloud when we disturbed them. There was even a Black Swan….how amazing was that.  Pensioner did the right thing, and retrieved the surveyors tape as we went. This will be a great site in the wet season when the waterways are full.

A little into the trail, a HH was advised by a sign of “PS” in a circle on the concrete path. Mango dived into the bushes and just like the miracle of the loaves and fishes, returned with a drink stop brew and cups. This turned out to be good thinking by the Hares, as this allowed the late comers to catch up.

After the drink, the pack headed back to the start, however Pench was on guard with his walking stick, and refused to let us stop, and advised that the trail went on further, so off we went. Around the streets of the new housing estate, we went on a tour of the latest home design trends.

Back at the ON ON, the returning pack was treated to lots of nibbles and lots of beer. The circle was eventually called to order, and our ever knowledgeable RA (the Monk), enlightened us on a lot of history from the past that happened on this date in time. Tarzan and Flapps showed that they were paying attention at school in their early days, and displayed knowledge of past events well above the standard of the average hasher.

The usual circle banter was engaged in, down downs, charges, jokes and the club song were performed, then we tucked into the Nosh of sausages, rissoles, bread, fried onions and a salad. While consuming our Nosh, a couple of young wild ones came past our spot and started doing burnouts around the streets. Did Pensch organize this as well for entertainment??

THEN THE COPS ARRIVED……….!!

Drinks were hidden, and we all tried to put on our “old persons” innocent look. The coppers were looking for the hoons, and asked us what we knew about the event. As usual….we saw nothing and told them so. After they quizzed us as to what we were up to, and after a few vague explanations, they nicked off. By then we had had eloquent sufficiency, and started drifting off back home.

A great night of food, drink and entertainment was enjoyed…..thanks Mango and Pensioner.

Next week’s run is at Hard Drive and Rarebit’s place at Swan Park, Slade Point.

I ended the evening LOST…..but eventually found my way out, and went home. 

The Blurrrrr.

Hare: Lassie
Venue: 23 St Bees Avenue, Bucasia
Hashers: 23

23 hashers descended on the Bucasia Botanical Gardens, more commonly referred to as Lassie & Tonto’s joint. After milling around for a while, Tonto called our attention to a chalk arrow and said “off you go”. First stop was confusion at the corner of Bucasia Rd, until Corgi found an arrow and yelled OnOn….. Tonto then directed us down a dirt track beside a cow paddock, housing a bunch of newly bred weaners, who took offence at our presence and took of galloping hither and thither, causing a family of plovers to take to the sky in fright, which only served to stir the youngsters even more. 697 local dogs then joined in the fray, at which time the moo-cows chucked a u-ey, and bounded off back from whence they came. Meantime, we found our way into Royal Sands Estate, where we crept along, hoping the residents would not associate us with the cacophony of cows bellowing in the distance. Eventually we wandered back onto Buc Rd, and headed home, that is, until Tonto guided us down a side street towards the beach, where, in a darkened bus-stop, we found Lassie doling out a mixture from a bucket. Then, it really was on-home, where we found a bunch of short-cutters who missed the piss-stop.

Lassie produced several trays of nachos, which quickly disappeared, so the Monk called the circle to order. Down down for the hare for his stirling effort, and a birthday drink for Lassie. Tounger was charged for coming to Hash instead of taking his wife out on her birthday, which he quickly reversed as he was a chauvinist and wasn’t taking her anywhere! Eventually though, he succumbed and accepted his down down. Shocker also got a down down for accusing JCF of wearing a hat in the circle, which JCF informed him was acceptable since he was just outside of the circle. Shocker also got downed for being a new runner, well, we hadn’t seen him for a few months. There may have been other charges, but me forgets.

Wheelie-Bin seemed to greatly enjoy proceedings, with much noise and flapping of the arms.

Flaps and Prick both told jokes, and then we kinda run outta things to do. So, out came the club song and the circle shut. 

Lassie joined Tonto in the kitchen, and before long out came steaming bowls of curried sausages and rice, which was gobbled down by the hungry hoard. Several more beers was downed, and then the mob slowly dispersed. 

Below is directions to next weeks run, easy to find, don’t get lost!

Pensioner & Mango’s run #2136, 29/9/21
Carpark, end of Radiata St, Plantation Palms Head to The Northern Beaches Bowls Club. 

Turn into Rosewood Dve and head past the bowls club and the High School. Follow Rosewood for a km or so, until you come to a new housing estate. Take the 2^nd street on the right, Radiata St. At the end don’t turn left or right, but go straight ahead into the carpark.

Note: This estate is new, and is not yet shown on SatNav maps.

Run Date: 13 September 2021
Run No #2133
Hare: Prick
Venue: 1 Kenzey St, Nth Mackay
Hashers: 20

 

20 runners turned up for the run at Pricks place and we all eagerly sprinted out the front.

Most crossing the road and heading left Smut was commenting about the vacant land available across

the road you may be getting a new neighbour Prick.  I feel there may have been 2 trails as some went under the bridge

once and others twice but all runners found their way back.

Circle was called with an unsure what number run it was. The hare was charged as deserved followed by an charge for JCF for

leaving his chair and song book behind at Flaps place. Next JCF was charged for stealing Flaps chair from his car followed by you

guessed it JCF with his buddies Zorro and Half a Boat for turning left and going straight to the pub. They are now known as the 3

must have beers.  Jokes were told and an unsuccessful try to recharge Blurry for his birthday again. There was a charge for phone

in the circle but was reversed as phone was being used to sing the hash song unsuccessfully. 

Very hot pies in aplenty were served with mushy pies. Last drinks were called and Piccallo tried to hide in the esky.

ON ON LASSIE

Run Date: 30^th August 2021
Run No #2132
Hare: Half a Boat
Venue: Cremorne , Nth Mackay
Hashers: 24

 

This was the venue of the year! You could still hear the whistle of bullets from the bikie shootout , and there was the roar of police sirens and the thunder of big Harlies in the distance.  Despite this, 24 intrepid runners gathered to commit themselves to the challenge of a super run through the mangroves and along the river. 

Halfa appeared in Crocs; no mud and not a mark on them. Not a good indication of a challenging run! We assembled on Barnes Creek Rd and it was on on over the bridge. At the Southern end of the bridge there was nothing; no marks, no arrows no chalk. There was sweet FA. Some had a wander along the river, some did a loop around a city block, but most simply went back over the bridge to the piss. Probably then run would have won the award for the best chalk conservation. Ever!

A circle was formed, a few jokes, a few down downs , a sing song, and then a great feed. A few more beers and it was then time to head on home to Mummy. 

Next Run: September 13.  Prick. 1 Kenzey Street.   ON ON. 

Run Date: 30^th August 20201

Hare: Fork & Screw
Venue: Willetts Road Park  North Mackay
Hashers: 23     

We were all waiting for the rain and yes it started to spit on the way across the bridge and then stopped when we arrived. On the left before the bridge someone was bailing the grass for fodder I thought they better hurry up and get it in the shed. The ducks were being watched by a young family but luckily the ducks didn’t join us.

Flaps had his stove set up and Daffodil  put up the light for the night thinking the rain wouldn’t start until later. Live Hare Screw set off towards Red Rooster along the walking path.

It was great to see Shizza from Airlie Beach and Paw Paw come for a run with us again.

Back along the main road to Mount P Tavern for a drink stop. Fork came out with a few jugs and they were quickly emptied. Daffodil & Tarzan were the last but they made it in for their drink. The pitter patter on the roof became heavier and yes it was a wet on home.

Nibbles were out organised by Flaps while the rain came down still. Cheerios with sticks were discovered and passed around before packing up to go back to Flaps place for the circle.

Streakers dog Donny was wrapped up in a towel to dry off and sat on a chair behind Streaker where he stayed until he dried off.  Beers & Ciders in hand Smut started the circle. Jokes and Charges were called for. Screw took his charge for the run and then a welcome back drink for Shizza & Paw Paw.

To our surprise a Christening. Hard Drives mate  Rhys became RAREBUTT. A cold beer to wet his head and a cold cider to down and he didn’t flinch a bit. Next weeks run & Executive lunch announced the Song sung, Fork brought out the Hash Nosh of curried sausages & rice which warmed us up. Next was special chocolate cakes supplied by Top Knot.

The rain became heavier so a few made the dash to their cars homeward bound. A few of us kept Flaps up a bit later until the rain eased. Thanks to Fork & Screw, Flaps & Top Knot for their extra efforts for the Committee run.
