Run #1980 
Hare: Committee Run 
Venue: Zorro – Satellite Crescent Outer Harbour
Hashers: 21

 

21 Hashers arrived at Zorros for the evening and what a good Hash spot to gather. Looking rather ‘dapper’ were Delicious, Flaps and Snot wearing their new 40-year Rockhampton Hash shirts from the weekend.

Pensch had been volunteered to do an envelope run so out the front we went to gather our envelopes and to head east. We ended up going up on cnr Presto Ave & Satellite Cres, then Envelope 2 opened back to Zorros, then head west to Presto Ave & Satellite Cres, then back to Zorros, at least it gave a piss stop each time around.  That’s where I stopped, and the rest of the herd went over to Harbour Road where the numbered envelopes were followed. Mango’s run report wasn’t so complementary though when she announced it was the worse run set ever!

Back at the ranch GM decided to offer the Hashers a free night, which gave the Hashers more money to buy Raffle tickets.

Matches made her yummy dips which were devoured in no time. Circle was called, down downs were given, charges laid,  and jokes told. Pensch had a beauty as did Delicious. Good belly laughs.

Paw Paw gave out the jackets that were on order, still more to come. Thanks to Radish for arranging to get them over to Australia without any charges thanks to his contacts over there.

Half a Boat was busy with the BBQ and saucepan of oil cooking up a storm of well prepared food. It was the most systematic, hydromantic, grease lighting affair I had ever seen with double gas burners and Half a Boat’s Mother’s rissole recipe that hit the spot. Great effort by Half a Boat and Mrs Half a Boat.

To those heading over to Kuala Lumpur have a great Hashing time. For those left in the trenches, see you at 37 Mango Ave Eimeo next Monday. You should all know the drill about parking by know.

Hare: Prick
Venue: BBQ area on Gooseponds behind North Mackay Bowls Club
Hashers: 22

 

Hi all

22 gathered at the goose ponds for one of Pricks famous goose ponds runs ( or is that infamous) The run was beautifully set plenty of marks to be followed, the unfortunate thing was they were marks from one of Tarzan’s runs and one of halfaboats runs. Much confusion rained down, should have been wet rain not confusion rain.

There were a few shortcutters  who made it back in plenty of time to grab a cold beer, then the rest came back in dribs and drabs, with wombat one of the first of the mail pack. 

The circle was called to order. Prick received his just desserts for confusing the runners (not that it would take much to do that) Snot was given a down down as a returning runner quickly followed by another one for wearing a hat in the circle he claimed it wasn’t a hat but a cap, but that cut no ice with the monk. Scary Eye Ball was given a down down for being a returning runner as well, and nearly choked on the concoction Golly had made. Jokes were told by Blurry (knotheads poxy, sorry proxy) so he received a down down for that. Pensioner told a joke and was then given the nomination for another all up to his usual standard. The song was sung with great gusto and out of sync. The circle was then closed. Nosh came out a beautiful corned beef with carrots and onions. streaker was lucky she got a plastic onion’ everyone was jealous and wanted to know where theirs was, lovely mango chutney, tomato relish, pickles, mango sauce and plenty of bread, but NO butter.

Next weeks run is at zorro’s place and is a committee run. Looking forward to catching up with you all after a weekend at the Caves for Rockys 40th anniversary run.

Hare: Wombat
Venue: 8 Hokins Court Glenella
Hashers: 22

 

Oh, what a cold and clear night. It was. 30 freezing little vegemites gathered at Wombat’s place for the Cold Run of the year. The fire was burning in a huge steel bowl before we even started. The neighbours’ fence was being put to a use that had not been envisioned when Zorro had built it.

Wombat gathered us together and gave some complicated advice as to ribbons and chalk and off we went. Through the grass, along the creek, along some roads, a death defying waltz along the highway, some more park then along the road On Home. 

Great nibbles, superb tucker, a circle with a few down downs and jokes [ elephant ] and a great fire. A good night thanks to Wombat. 

On on. Prick.

On a barmy winters night 20 fine tuned harriers turned up to tackle the wilds of Far Beach area. Not to be disappointed there was no actual beach run!!!! The pack skirted along the foreshore for a while but mostly stuck to the concrete. Paths & bitumen. A nice easy stroll of about 1 hr saw us back to the ON ON by 7 pm. Circle had the usual down downs for  hares birthdays phones in the circle & Blo Jo’s 100 runs Nash foot. Prick & Blurry did provide some comic relief with a couple of enterprising jokes. Nosh was dished up  in master chef style with a stew & bread and real butter(bonus). Hash song followed and circle closed.

See ya next week for the Tarboys birthday run.Promises to be long but not in distance. At least two real piss stops.
Should be a BIG ONE!!!!!

ON ON THE TARBOY.

Hare: Shocker and Sweetmeat
Venue: Lot 4 Sunset Drive, Erakala
Hashers: 24

24 keen hashers turned up at Shocker’s and Sweetmeat’s new abode. Although the house is complete they still have a lot of yard work and landscaping ahead of them. We walked up the driveway to the road where Shocker gave instructions for the trail. Up the hill to Sunset Drive heading down to Sugar shed Road. I think at this point everybody said oh shit, we have to walk back up this hill later and continued onto Settlers Rise Estate. Seeing Sweetmeats father drive by hinted a piss stop was near, but JCF couldn’t wait and had his own piss stop on a power pole. Eventually we arrived at a kids play ground complete with a fenced off basket ball training area. The piss stop was a tangy/fruity concoction, went down nicely. It was on home and up the hill to have a well earned ale or two. Corgi realised she had lost her car keys somewhere on the run and retraced the trail but no luck, will go back tomorrow in the daylight. Shocker offered a grand tour of the house so off with the running shoes to check out upstairs, very impressive with a great view across the rooftops to the canefields from massive verandah . Returning to the group downstairs we had to find our shoes which had been placed in a line running along the side of the house, out into the carport, Sweetmeats dad was the culprit. The circle was called, while the hares waited for their song, Sweetmeat mentioned she was still waiting for a ring from Shocker, it went downhill from here with Zorro explaining the three rings in marriage, first comes the engagement ring, then comes the wedding ring and if things go pear-shaped then comes the suffering. JCF added his comments regarding the fingering. Tarzan had a drink for falling off his bike while hanging onto JCF’s car, trying to get a tow up the hill. A few jokes were told, the song was sung and the circle closed. Everybody lined up for the delicious spaghetti Bolognese and afterwards congregated around the fire. Is that the time, it’s half past nine, time to go home, another good night from a virgin run venue.

It was a glorious Monday night for a run from Mr and Mrs half a boat’s house. We all arrived as usual in dribs and drabs in various hash attire before we were off in a long meandering line looking for the non existing trail. Along the banks of a stunning pioneer river we dodged the odd speeding car until we came to the realisation there was no trail so we went back to the beer .

The rest of the pack wandered back in and we were greeted with a hot plate of food which was quickly demolished. The circle was formed and down downs were consumed with great gusto .The usual suspects were considered and partook :- half a boat – for the trail, knothead, no crutch – returning runners among the many downed. Some awful jokes told and more were handed out. By this stage I was too inebriated to remember who but there was lots. The song was sung stunningly and we had an awesome feed supplied by half a boat’s Mrs ,we all got drunker ,well I did ,and we wandered back into the night to our warm beds.

Run #1973
Hare: Streaker
Venue: Unit 5/3 Hunter Street West Mackay
Hashers: 25

 

25 adventurous hashes turned up to Streakers hoping the food was of the same high standard as her last run.

Speaking of runs, we set off in the dark with Donny taking the lead as the live puppy hare. We trotted off

behind the puppy and found ourselves at the cemetery. Streaker had promised a piss stop and Donny had many,

but we soon stopped at hot Rocks for the promised piss stop.

With a shot stroll back to Streakers we chatted around the fire for a while before the circle was called.

Charges went to Streaker and Donny as hares, lots of others for stuff and things and plenty of lame jokes were told..

Even one about poor Donny.

After much deliberation about executive lunch, the circle was closed and another fantastic rendition of the hash

Song soon saw us turn to the food.

What can you say… corned meat and potatoes wins again. Thanks too Prick who supplied some sundries to go on

the sanga’s . Well done Streaker I have a lot to live up to next week

Hare: Blo Jo
Venue: Blurry’s, Cnr Peel& Alfred Sts
Hashers: 21

 

21 Hashers met up at Blurry’s Place for Blo Jos’s Run.

Because of Blo Jo’s Birthday we were told there would be 3 piss stops. Amazing !!! We set off to meander around West Mackay. Meeting up at Streaker’s Place, I thought they all got it wrong, when we arrived to see them out the front under the street light as MY run is next week!

At my place drinks and nibbles were had, then on again, around the block, to end up at Hotys, some people complained about going the long way??

Third piss Stop was at ‘some park’ On On home.

Charges were: –

Hoty walking into a door plus wearing his Beanie.
Wombat for giving a guy the wrong address, he ended up at AA we think!
Hot Salami & Fill de Jaw for holding hands on the walk! How romantic!
Drovers Dog for No Hash Shirt
Flaps, Drover, Delicious and Streaker for talking in the Circle
Viagra for wearing safety boots! Tripping over the gutter, followed by a roll on the grass!
Zorro wasn’t seen on the run, turned left when we all turn right. Where did he go??
Returning Runner Weak as, Visiting Runner Strong As

Naming ceremony, plain old Tom, became Hot Salami (after the Monk raving on about him being Polish)

Hashy Birthday sung to Blo Jo.

Biggest shamozzle deciding where Executive lunch was to be – Blurry wanted Spag Bol, but ended up going Asian!! Think he was getting his as a takeaway from Maguires.

Hash Song Sung. Circle Closed.

Hash Nosh plenty of it and very nice too, Rissoles & Gravy, potato bake and vegies..Followed by Birthday Cake not 1 but 2!

The night was full of laughs, jokes by Weak As and a long but great one from Flaps!

So, On On to my place next week, where you might get leftovers, and a very short walk, as I will be away for the weekend. Donny’s setting it.

Hare: Pensch & Mango
Venue: 12 Douglas Crescent Rural View
Hashers: 23

 

Everyone gathered at the Pensioner Mansion where the old timer had started burning his old stash of painted-treated timber in his flash new Brazer.  Reminded me of being at Zorro’s. The crowd gathered and a stack of Envelopes were randomly dispersed among the flock. The first letter was opened and it was on-on down the road and off the right – then a left the a second left after two paths….. Who knows…  we got lost at the first turn… The Hare got us back on track and it was on-on up into the Lofty Heights of Rural View.  With a False trail up a steep hill and then Sweetmeat running off with Envelope 6 – it was lucky the trail was a big loop and you couldn’t get lost. After passing a great deal of Houses which had us wondering if they spent their entire life on a mower, it was on Home past the most lit up square box prison looking bunker house. Some nibbles and then the circle was called. JCF medication must have mixed with the 20 beers he had because he was in fine form – great to see had recovered from his illness.   Chargers for the hares Pensioner and Mango, Sweetmeat for for running off with Si’x. McFanny for… Not sure? Then a Group down down for all the people who had been to Shocker and Sweetmeats house (but not Shocker and Sweetmeat). A few bad joke later the Song was Sung and the circle was closed. The Food was fantastic and was served on Retro 2001 Moranbah Hash Plates. Great Night see you at the next run.
