Hare – Tarzan
Venue – 4 Evans Avenue, North Mackay
Hashers: 25
25 hashers commenced the run. 

 

We went left through the Cremorne suburb after a bit the trail led through North Mackay and into the familiar territory of John Breen Park to a well-deserved piss stop then on back to the hares abode.

Here we had a smoking ceremony to rival that of Smuts the previous week. After the welcome ceremony and the usual history lesson the circle came and went. Song sung and we partook in the culinary delights. Thanks Tarzan, but wait there was desert, Boiled fruit cake, ice cream and bottled cream.

 After that we all waddled home having drunk and eaten..happy chaps all of us.

 

ON ON TO SNOTS next week 19 tern street Slade Point

Hare – Blurry
Venue – Cnr Peel & Alfred Streets, Mackay
Hashers: 22

Report for run 2287 at Blurry’s abode. A willing group of about 22 turned up accompanied by some very shoddy weather Ra. And we’re boosted by a virgin runner Callum & a visit from Show Us. All jarred off in the rain on a short run which suited most of us. Huddled in half of the garage & under a dodgy fly the circle endured The Monks weekly TALK. The charges were light on as well as jokes & true stories. Luckily Blurry thought well ahead & had a sumptuous meal of steaks & salads prepared. A good night was had. See ya next week at U- Turn’s joint. ON ON

Run – 2286
Hare – Smut
Venue – 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella
Hashers: 22

21 Brave Hashers arrived at the residence of our illustrious Monk, Smut, to take on the rain and the Monday Hash adventure.

Instructions were given regarding the markings, and off we went. I kept in close proximity to the ladies because they had umbrellas in case it rained. On a  well-marked trail through the streets of Glenella we trundled, till we came across the hare dishing out fruity-fizzy drinks at the piss stop. After slating our thirst, we headed back home where we had the traditional smoking ceremony and welcome to country. Thankfully Miss Corgy was on duty regarding the fire, and with much coaxing and blowing, the fire stopped smoking and started burning, Ye Ha!

The circle was called, and the compulsory history lesson was presented by Smut. After that charges were given to the deserved, including a self-charge (never seen that b4) given to himself by Pensioner for spitting the dummy at the previous weeks executive lunch. Awards for Lassie, 400 runs??, and Golly 600 runs were presented, along with a Hashy Birthday award to Tarzan for getting older. Returning runner ½ a boat, was given a drink and other important stuff happened, but my focus started drifting and can’t recall. The hash song was sung, and the circle closed.

Then from inside the house, Smut started bringing out the Hash nosh, and the crew attacked the tucker with gusto. Three different dishes were presented for our tasting, that had healthy ingredients, and they were all very good.

After the tucker, more refreshments were guzzled to the point where the esky was looking very bare.

Bellies full, bodies relaxed and minds refreshed, we all started drifting off home. A good night without rain…….excellent.

I want you all to pray to your different gods to keep next Monday night free of rain, caus the Hash will be from my place, on the corner of Peel n Alfred St, and I have no wet weather cover.

I’ll see you all there. (I hope)

Bleary or Blurry.

Run -2285
Hare – Golly
Venue – 4 Trochus Court, Shoal Point
Hashers: 17

Eighteen or so hardy individuals braved the cold and blustery conditions and arrived, with much anticipation, at 4 Trochus Court, Shoal Point, where Golly had jerry-rigged up a tarpaulin to break the wind plus had the customary winter-months fire pit stoked up.  

After a fair amount of coaxing, the bulk of the attendees reluctantly gathered on the cul-de-sac to listen to what Golly was trying to pass-off as run instructions – there was a mention of piss-stop, but most dismissed this advice as Golly taking the piss.

Front runners set-off, following a well-marked path to the further-most point of the walk at Pappy’s Beach Estate, where they were greeted by Golly with sweet substance that contained magical qualities able to transform Blurry into Peter Pan.

When the stragglers finally caught up and took possession of their cup-full of elixir of life, the discussion turned to the excellent investment opportunities that surrounded them, with many imagining the tranquillity of living on an expansive 300sqm of beachside land.

After a brisk walk home into the bracing wind, a generous helping of savoury pastries were served which were devoured in astonishingly quick time.

The circle was called, a highly forgetful history trip delivered, a series of charges and reverse charges were laid followed by some attempts at humour, with outcomes ranging from hearty belly-laughs to quizzical looks on faces.

Following a rousing rendition of the Hash song due to the run being held on the northern beaches, the hosts rolled out a tasty bread roll / ham of the bone / salad smorgasbord followed up by a novel, toast-your-own, marshmallows.

Cholate coated TV snacks were passed around to sooth some of the burn injuries suffered by the marshmallow toasting experience.

When participants were stuffed full of beer, burgers and sugar, they waddled of to their cars and set-off for home to focus on the mammoth digestive process ahead of them plus begin preparing for next week’s run at 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella.

Run -2283
Hare – Prick
Venue – BBQ Area on Gooseponds behind Goosies Sport & Rec Club
Hashers: 17

17 rugged up hashers met at the Gooseponds Park on on a nippy Monday night ready for the night’s run. Prick gave us instructions and off we went along the path towards Glenpark Street Bridge, under the bridge, tuned right, over the bridge and towards the old Evans Av. Road crossing. Heading back over the Gooseponds we made our way home, must have been the shortest run of the year, only 1.7 kilometres, but nobody complained.              

After potato chips for nibbles and a beer the circle was called by the Monkee, Shocker, in the absence of Smut. Prick was charged for setting a Shit Hot run, Blurry for telling his Donald Duck joke to a few hashers on the run, before the circle (Trump’s shooting was a hot topic on the night), Daffodil charged Corgi for putting up with him for 39 years after their Hash Wedding date. Termite got charged for Juices trip which resulted in a cracked rib. Others I can’t recall. Jokes and stories were told by Tarzan, Flaps, Blurry, Uturn and others.

Prick made an exit to pick up the hot pies, homemade tomato relish and sloppy peas which were happily consumed when he returned, followed by Tim Tams. Thanks Prick, another good night was had by all.

On On, Daffodil and Corgi

Next’s week’s run – Park at Ooralea Waters, Go west along Temples Lane, straight through the roundabout, turn left and continue to the park.

Run -2282
Hare – Shocker
Venue – Run: Park Area, Sturt Cres, Settlers Rise. Nosh: 4/23 Sunset Dr, Erakala.
Hashers: 22

Oh what a great night. About 30 flash hashers met at the Park and had a chat before Shocker appeared and gave instructions as to the direction of travel. It was along the main road in the dark with traffic whizzing by; a situation that was stupid at best and lethal at worst.

Finally, it was off the road and along a winding and steep path to the playgrounds where we found the piss stop – a beautiful mix of wine and fruit called Sangria. I personally took the liberty of handing out lollies to the kids playing there with mixed results!  It was then up up up over the hill and back down to the park starting point, into the cars and back up again to Shocker’s place.

Here we were joined by Wheelie, Cisco, Topknot and Maniki Pussy for their last runs as they are all on the move. We were also joined by the Frenchies, Coco and his mate. They are Cordon Bleu chefs who had kindly agreed to do the Hash Nosh.

The circle formed round a great fire, the history lesson was read, charges, down downs for visiting and departing runners and a great array of jokes of varying vulgarity. Then THE NOSH!

And what a Nosh; assorted hor d’ouevres, magnificent quiche lorraine, and then baked chicken and baked potatoes. A massive feast! We have not seen the likes of this since Flaps unleashed his culinary skills some months ago.

Finally, it was time to call it quits; I left the fire and headed for the loving arms/ rolling pin.

On On.  Prick.

Next week’s run:  Prick. BBQ area. Gooseponds.  The tucker is guaranteed to be comparable

to this week. Cheers.

Hare – Golly
Venue – Playground on Willets Road, North Mackay
Hashers: 20

**Event Summary:**

The Mackay Hash House Harriers hosted a legendary run that will go down in the annals of hashing history. The committee, in a stroke of genius, declared the run and dinner absolutely free, causing a surge of excitement that could be felt all the way to the Outback. 

**Culinary Delights:**

– Nikka Licker’s homemade sausage rolls were the talk of the town, with whispers saying they could bring peace to rival hash chapters.

– The homemade tomato chilli dipping sauce had folks breathing fire, but in the best way possible.

– Matches’ caramelised onion dip was so good, it nearly caused a diplomatic incident when the recipe was not disclosed. 

**Circle Antics:**

– Golly, charged with setting the run, led the pack on a wild goose chase, literally.

– Screw, living up to the name, took everyone down a false trail, sparking rumours of a secret vendetta against compasses.

– A virgin runner was charged, initiating them into the fine tradition of hashing misdirection.

– Jokes flew thick and fast, some soaring like eagles, others… well, let’s just say they didn’t quite take off. 

**Culinary Encore:**

As if the homemade treats weren’t enough, the evening concluded with free pizza, because why not? When in doubt, pizza is the answer.

**Next Week’s Teaser:**

The next run is set to take place at Shocker’s Place in Erakala. Expectations are high; will there be French food, or will Shocker shock us all with a sausage on bread?

**On On!**

May the trails be ever in your favour, and may the hash gods bless you with good weather and better company. Onwards to the next adventure!
