Run No #2009
Hare: Flaps
Venue: 17 Jarrah Street Andergrove 
Hashers: 25ish

 

All hares stated arriving at 17 Jarrah St in dribs and drabs some outside on the street others out back in the outdoor MKR kitchen.

Flaps Anew was preparing dinner. I don’t know what cooking book he uses, he had all these birds undressed, spread eagle, in cages  over HOT ROCKS.

Hare left birds and proceeded to the front and gave some of the hares run instructions in envelopes. After his first clue which No 1 listened to first envelop was read, everything went out of sync nothing lined up with street names.

After a few envelopes instructions and street names started to line up and we all managed to get back. Nibbles were all laid out what a spread even had smarties which some found there way in the down downs.

Hare was given his, between kitchen and circle duties can’t remember who else but there were no rejections, some jokes told, but I think we need video hook up with Pea Bow getting slack.

Circle closed Flaps and his Maids put all the food into KFC like containers well done Flaps was filling and yummy.

We drank more piss told more bull shit and we all drifted home full bellies  and happy, bar one, who put gravy all over her deep fried bananas, don’t know why.

see you next week at 4 Trochus Ct

Hare: Tarzan
Venue: 4 Evans Ave North Mackay
Hashers: 24

 

24 keen hashers turned up at Tarzan and uturns residence our Monday night run. Tarboy promised it would be flat, no rough bits (only the hashers), no fences, gullies , river crossings or rail crossings, was most un usual  as he was actually telling the truth, what has hash come to, a hare not lying.

Its was off west on Evans ave dogs on leashes, no Corgis  though, however the run being as safe as Tarzan promised Uturn still managed to fall and take bark off her elbow, knee and the sitting down part of her anatomy, which she was only too willing to show, however everyone declined the offer.  All in all it was probably one of the better runs I haven’t been on. Everyone made it back safely.

Healthy snacks were the order for the evening,(this has to stop before you know it we will all be thin and healthy).

The circle was called and the hare, monk, choir master was called out to be given his well deserved down down. Can only remember two Zorro, because he always gets one, apparently going to the pub instead of going on the run and delicious because everyone wants to sing her special song. Only one joke and that was from Zorro (loves the attention). Tonguer wasn’t there to take up the slack. Pizzas came out and it was obvious Tarzan and Uturn had gone to a lot of trouble to prepare them and they were delicious. DT showed photos of her beautiful newly born twin daughters, more stories were told more lies and then it was off home.

Next weeks run to be set by Flaps at 17 Jarrah Street Beacsonfield.

see you here.

Hare: Wombat
Venue: 8 Hokins Court Glenella

A hardy  band of 20 hashers turned out at Wombats’s place for the run under a perfect near full moon sky. Sun setting & moon rising you know how it goes. The willing pack set off at a normal leisurely pac past Magpies then East towards the city. Passed thru the new soccer fields a first for me. Round more of Glenella to a small drink stop(most welcome). ON home from there. Circle was called by JCF & The snuggling Monk Tarzan. Down down for Hare Wombat & her birthday as well. A few jokes were told. Streaker gave an update of Easter Mon run with Bunbury Hashers, now transferred to Eimeo Surf Club due to some Technical difficulties.

Exec lunch was set for NM bowls club, Next weeks run is from Tarzan’s place 4 Evans Ave..Hash song. Was sung & circle closed.

Run No #2006
Hare: Zorro
Venue: Mackay Fencing, 70 Satellite Crescent Mackay Harbour
Hashers: 27

 

Just shy of 30 eager hashers gathered at the gate of the best fencing supply company in the region. The horn blew at 6.11pm sharp as the usual bullshit misleading directions were delivered by the hare of the century. Then they were off into the sunset and were quickly told go the other way. So many perfect arrows were followed until the group led by Hash Horn stumbled across a Check! the leader of the pack was not deterred and correctly guessed on left. Pretty impressive considering he was with JCF who would pick the wrong direction even if he was told which way to go. 

Over road and railway and on on to the North Harbour Wall before the best hare of all time called out False Trail! Grumbles and moans from the pack who were disappointed that after such a marathon trail no piss stop was to happen. Some even commented this was an A to B run without transport! Well it was, back we went but not before a short cut down the railway line (for some) took out a few extra kilometres. A quick final hurdle in the form of a fence saw the tam back in just on an hour. 

The mozzie families saw all the commotion and invited themselves and the entire mozzie world over as their were plenty of unpickled people to draw blood from. However as usual we got on with business run by new Monk Tarzan! Charges and jokes as usual and the hare of hares took his punishment for such a short trail. Some business happened but no one listened especially the writer because he didn’t care to listen. Im sure the GM will punish the writer at next weeks run!

Food was served. Bacon, egg and steak rolls with some rabbit food and the mob was set. 

On a scale of 1 to 10 this evening was certainly a 15. Bloody good effort from the hare to end all hares 

Until next week

Hare: Hot Rocks
Venue: 22 Sneyd Street Mackay

We all gathered at 22 Sneyd Street, wondering whether it was to rain?? but we were lucky and we didn’t have any. We followed the Hare around for about 30 mins well except for Tonguer who was fashionably late! and others that didn’t make it at all! Hey girls?

Hooker did 5 mins and returned to home. Chips & Dips were served. Circle was called by The Monk Tarzan and JCF as Monkee. Flaps told a few jokes, can’t remember the rest. Hottie was given a down down for his birthday, he always tries to slip under the radar. Drip Tray for being a Grandma for twin girls recently born and Hottie for being a Grandpa. Don’t remember him being a Father!!

Very good evening, plenty of fun and leftover Away Run Nosh.

This the report for Screw & Forks run on 28th Jan. Weather crap,BIG HASH weekend made for a small rollup. Short run was set but washed away by some monsoon or other so we ambled around a bit not using too much of our flagging energies.Most  of us who attended  our 2000th run at Cameron’s Pocket( excellent  venue) who turned up looked a fair bit worse for ware. We were joined by visitor (Wank)  Newcastle & Graduate ex Cairns but moving to Mackay. Down downs were given for these two and a couple of other obscure ones which I can’t remember .Very quiet circle only a couple of jokes told. However the NOSH was fantastic c/o left overs from the weekend. Steak,bacon ,eggs,mushrooms,onions tomatoes,bread & SAUCES ALL YUMMY thank FORK. Circle closed with normal Hash song. See ya next week all recovered hopefully. PS JCF has to step down from the MONKS position any one interested in this Highly sort after office please step forward next week. ON ON Tarzan.

Hare: Drovers Dog
Venue: 16a Gold Street Mackay
Hashers: 23

Well a fair few of us found our way to Drovers Dog’s place of aboud, as the monk had blocked the hares transport in, it was up to Screw to take the hare to set up the piss stop, which was good as I knew the trail, so then we gathered out front and the hare told us where to go, but, I already knew, and the wee Lassie had seen this and followed me like a small puppy, we meandered down a few streets, and found the piss stop, funny that I thought that I had been there before, (is that visionary), so we all drank the good tasting brew, until it ran out and it was OH, nibbles came out, Pensioner complained he missed out, to busy collecting money, then the circle was called, and the hare got his just deserts, hang on there were no deserts, anyway he got a drink, charges were called, to many to remember, jokes asked for and again I couldn’t remember, by this time everyone was hungry, but hold the bus, the dogs had to feed first, Drovers fuck the dogs, feed the  multitude then the canines, anyway the dogs would not have liked the curry cum chillied stew with rice and bread, nice Drovers, by this time most of us had our fill and toddled of home, great night had by all, so ON ON to the 2000th run celebrations, then to our place on Monday night.

Hare: Half a Boat
Venue: 43 Cremorne Street, Barnes Creek
Hashers: 16

The mob of hashers assembled at the little shed by the Old Pioneer river, opposite the now familiar round house. After explicit instructions from 1/2aboat, we shot off out the back gate and down under the Barnes Creek bridge, where we turned north-east to follow a delightfully mysterious and well marked trail which led us past a certain solitary cat, moored on the river.

We all commented on how nice it was to follow a trail with absolutely no ashphalt, or cars or houses in sight. The trail led through some very dense mangroves and sand crabs, and we were surprised to find no black mud to clog our boots, WOW!!!

Anyway, back at the little shed, we enjoyed some nibblies whilst we shed all our hardearns to Hash cash, along with a few coldies to help us get in the mood.

The circle was up to its usual high standard, with some clever jokes, and meaningless down -downs.

Now I don’t need to recall who or whom were the recipients, the main reason is that I can’t recall.

We witnessed a pair of hashers receive a milestone gift for some ridicules amount of runs attended, namely Daffodil, and ????? another someone. Yeah I know,,,,,, old timers disease,,,

Anyway,,,,, a good time was had by all, and Halfaboat,s gourmet rissoles with peas n spuds went down a treat.

So that was that, and we all toddled off.

Hooroo from Viagra.

Run No #2000
Live Hare: Mango
Venue: 12 Douglas Crescent, Rural View
Hashers: 14

With the Christmas and New Year celebrations a memory we eagerly gathered for a walk to burn off some calories.
Hashers of all ages but mostly middle to old couldn’t wait to get back to sample the beer and food on offer. Let me tell those that didn’t attend, the beer was good. Very good in fact. A few conversations were struck before the call to form a circle was announced. With that we charged our glasses and got ready for the jokes, banter and charges.
The circle was simply amazing, people got charged for things and we all laughed at them sang them songs of support and we even repeated a few old jokes. We were informed of the upcoming stuff like executive lunch and next week’s run before our hungry tummies closed the circle, so we could eat.
And eat we did! Best Hash Nosh of the year if you ask me? We sat, ate, drank, chatted and then went home.
Great run 11/10. Until next week
