Run – 2202
Hare – Mango & Pensioner
Venue – John Breen Park, Nth Mackay
Hashers: 15

 

15 keen hashers rolled up for the 1st run of 2023, at John Breen Park. After Happy New Year greetings to one and all. The Hare Pensioner called us to attention , announced he was the  ‘Live  Hare’,  as he has run out of chalk.

We couldn’t/wouldn’t catch him and just ambled along behind him.

Back at the esky, the beers and ciders were nice and cold, dip and bikkies were consumed. 

Circle was called by Monkee Screw, we were advised by GM to mind our manners and language as there was a family at the next shelter.

Pensioner was charged for a piss poor trail;

Zorro was charged as he hadn’t been charged in 2023. 

Flaps told a couple of Shitty yarns. 

A quiet rendition of Hash song was sung and circle closed.

Nosh of savoury mince and bread was served, a nice change from Christmas leftovers.

More cool bevvies were consumed, bullshit talked and we all headed home before the mozzies ate us alive.

Next weeks run 09/01/23 @ 80a Maple Drive Andergrove,

Run – 2201
Hare – Daffodil &Corgi
Venue – Col Storey Park, Nebo Road.
Hashers: 7 

After a Christmas Day that rained all day, Boxing Day produced some finer weather…. until around 4.00PM when it bucketed down once more. This appeared to be excuse enough for most hashers to stay away in droves. Except for seven. ( I wrote seven instead of 7 cause it looks bigger)
So, seven (7) of us headed off… actually it was six (6) , because Flaps had sore feet, actually it was five (5) , because Zorro stayed back to keep Flaps company. So, off we five (5) went, with Daffodil leading on account of he knew where the arrows were, even the washed out ones.

Around the Botanic Gardens we marched, up n down, round n round until eventually reaching the café (closed) and the secret tunnel (open) that led us back to the beer, which Zorro and Flaps had thoughtfully tasted.
With the rain tumbling down we moved under cover at the front of the Tourist Info Centre. Flaps backed the beer truck in, and produced several chairs from inside. And there we sat, drinking beer and watching rain, until amazingly The Monk called the circle to order. Thankfully, due to the small audience, he deleted the night’s history lesson, preferring to lob down-downs at the hares Daff & Corgi, and a couple for Zorro, cause one is never enough. Flaps told a joke, which prompted The Monk to launch into a decidedly lengthy diatribe, ending with a punch-line that I can’t recall.

Circle closed, we eagerly awaited sustenance from Chief Cook Corgi, who laid out buns, salads and home grown rissoles in the back of Flap’s truck, and then invited us to come forward and build our own burgers. Having catered for twenty (20), there was an abundance left over, which I snavelled for use at next week’s run. (Hope it keeps all right, our fridge is full, so it’s all just sitting on the bench.)
Corgi then excelled herself by producing ice cream cones and a tub of ice cream, not quite melted, which mixed in well with the beer.

Then it was time to toddle off in the rain, which was no more, and find our way home.
Next week, if you wish to partake of Corgi’s leftovers, it’s Mango n me setting a run from John Breen Park (cause it’s too noisy for the Old Folks if we hold it in The Old Folks Home.)

On On Pensch.

Hare – Half A Boat
Venue – 78 Harbour Road, North Mackay
Hashers: 22

Some were between 20-30 hashers arrived in dribs & drabs, confused at

which shed was 78. Looking down the driveway, one could see Half A Boat

standing outside a shed, where a half a boat trailer was being built.

We headed outside onto the road and told to go, was marked in chalk and

paper. Off we set towards the Harbour. First check Zorro went left and kept

going, must have got scent of a fridge.

The rest of pack kept going straight down towards Harbour till they got to the

dead people resting place. Turn on towards Animal Hotel, Pensioner didn’t

 make it that far, said he has enough hassles with 2 pussys didn’t need a third.

Trail went into Big Lizard country only the brave dare go.

All got back to shed 78 where nibbles were waiting, 2 cobb loaves, 1 crab, 1 fish,

very nice. Circle called by Monkey, as our History Monk had the day off.

Charges were given to various hashers for some shit they did or did not do.

Main course served up Bangers & Burgers, and Salad, top nosh, Half a Boat. More beer drank, more bullshit flung around, Flaps woke up and called last drinks.

And we went home till next week. 

See you at 4 Trochus Ct. Bring Sand Shoes, could be some sand.

Run – 2195
Hare – Maple Syrup
Venue – 66 O’Brien Esplanade, Shoal Point
Hashers: 22

Shoal Point (again) for Run #2195!  22 Hashers showed up more or less on time for a slightly past 6 start.  Hare, Maple Syrup, had marked a varied course including pavement, dirt and beach (which required strips of her husband’s T-shirt to mark entry and exit points!).   U-turn left us all in her dust…

Cold drinks and ocean breezes were a good mix as everyone demolished garlic bread before circle was called.  Smut gave a serious history lesson about a little known but amazing woman of the 1800’s who smashed the 80 Days record set in Jules Verne’s ‘Around the World in…’.   What was her name again?

The trail got a thumbs-up, various charges were laid despite the protests of several of the ‘chargees’ and vain attempts at reversals, AND the jokes will surely go down in the annals of Mackay Hash for their level of filth and innuendo.  

Were there any birthdays?  Did Tonguer really know the venue for the executive lunch??  Is Zorro really organising the Christmas party???  Will Matches be on top of that????

All tucked into Maple Syrup’s meal, but sadly, she forgot the Tim Tams!  Lucky lasts to leave had to indulge.

See you all at the Lake in Shoal Point for Top Knot’s run 2196 next Monday.  (Would you like some Tim tams for your dessert, Top Knot?  Sorry to say Tarzan won’t be there with his Peruvian Hash shirt.  

On-on, Maple Syrup

 

Date – 07/11/2022
Run – 2194
Hare – Prick
Venue – The Goose Ponds, BBQ Area behind Bowls Club

A good handful of good-looking hashers arrived in all sorts of modes of transportations for the first run with the new committee, with the new GM and On-Sec, coming in by bike and scooter. Possibly anticipating his regular weekly down-downs, Zorro thought it was best not to drive. Although, some of the still-in-the-closet hashers were less focused on the bike and more fixated to the attire of the GM thinking that a man comfortable enough with his masculinity to be in floral shirts, means a definite trans/homosexual.

Being promised a piss stop, the hashers were given ambiguous directions from Prick who sure earned his title of being a Prick by sending the hashers to start on a false trail. Some hashers even began running to get the nightmare trail over with. As the hashers arrived to the end, they soon discovered it was actually a taking-the-piss stop, proving more to the point of the name once again, Prick.

Some decent pre-circle snacks were passed around and U-turn seized the moment to seize some dollars for the school raffle, giving the monk and new monkee some time to reminisce from their younger days and prepare their history trivia from over the last millennia.

Charges handed all round back and forth. Matches being charged for bravely riding in on a scooter with a nearly flat battery… I remember thinking, I had some AA’s in the car for emergencies, but I wasn’t sure if those flyers would have any hope at this point for these hashers. Flaps had done too good a job with getting the hashers well lubricated.

Tounger being one of the first to dish out jokes, not sure if I’ll repeat that one, but managed to get just about every female hasher to bend right over… Setting the bar nice and low is Tounger’s strategy, that way they bend over again each time they need a drink. Although you might have set the bar high already for next year’s dirty old man award!

Pies and peas served for hash nosh, a good safe bet for all hashers to enjoy, with the option of tomato sauce OR ketchup. Both even, if one felt like being creative. Plenty of good chats and banter all round. Great evening for the first run with the new committee.

Date – 31/10/22
Run – 2193 AGPU
Hare – Daffodil & Corgi
Venue – The Leap Hotel
Hashers – 24

Only 24 hashers turned for the AGPU,  many new committee members were elected to positions in absentia,( Hhha hhha hhha).

Matches was busy selling Melbourne Cup Sweep tickets, when at precisely 6pm, give or take 5 or 10mins, Daffodil called the mob to order, gave his last run directions as trailmaster. Half of the hashers set off, the rest stayed at pub and consumed beers and more beers, until all the runners and walkers returned, the free piss flowed.

Circle was called, no history lesson from Smut.

Daffodil and Corgi the hares had set a shitty trail, with too many hills and was too long as reported by Tonto.

A few charges, Daffodil for telling lies about needing a torch; Delicious, so Tarzan could sing her song one last time as GM; JCF for fucking up down down song; Over achievers, for putting in effort to dressing in halloween costumes. Special mention for Wheelie.

Some jokes were told, announcements re: Tuesday lunch venue, next weeks run etc.

A small break in proceedings for piss stop and refills.

AGPU  – Financial report Bank Balance – $5865; Float – $100. This year $1015 was banked from Cash for Cans. A huge thank you to Tarzan for collecting cans on Mondays and hash events, and any others who deposited their empties for Hash.
