Hare: Mango & Pensioner
Venue:   12 Douglas Cres. Rural View
Hashers: Lots

 

Well here we all were again, high on the mountain top overlooking the Rural View at the McKenzie Castle. By the time I arrived, the Hash Piss was in place, the chairs were out and the pack was telling lies in the back yard.

The Hare, Pensioner, ordered us all to the front driveway for the instructions and pre run breefing, and after explaining to us our defence should some disgruntal home owner approach us on the run…..we were off down the hill. No Tounger, however Lassie took over the job of last to arrive, parked the car and locked it up just in time to latch on to the pack as we wooshed past.

A very entertaining walk/run unfolded, marked with pretty purple chalk, that took us around the environs of Rural View. There were parts and pathways that I did not even know existed. JCF got lucky on the walk and got caught up with an old root. I spotted a back pack on Mangoes back two thirds of the way through the trail, which made me worry about how far we were really going to go. She explained to me that she carried water and a chocky bar in case it was needed, but she assured me that we were not going that far……phewwww.

On back home, the SCB’s were all seated and into the refreshments. Cash was collected and nibblies were brought out. The circle was formed, but before we could proceed, JCF asked Raggerty to step forward and explain the fungus growing inside the down down mug. Instantly the finger was pointed at Golly and accusations were traded. I know for sure that Gollies GT would be cleaner then the mug.

The Hare was given a down down, then another, then another until he refused to play any more. Jokes were told and other stuff happened, the song was sung and the nosh was produced. And what a tasty Lamb stew it was too. The old family recepy from the Scottish Highlands proved to be a hit with us all… yummmmmo. Teflon took a long time to cum, but did eventually, and who would have believed that a red head would have a black fluffy one. Yes the new puppie arrived on the leash, and made itself known to all. Main course was followed by Tim Tams and more beers. My lift arrived so I had to piss off. A good night was had.

 

Next weeks run will be from Toungers Man Cave, down the driveway of 12 Hill End Road, Glenella.

 

BREASTROKE would like anyone who has photos from the annual run at Finch Hatton to put them on to a memory stick and give them to her, so she can compile an album for the Hash. You will get your memory stick back. Every little bit will help please.

 

That’s all folks,

Blurry.

Hash Trash Run # 1928…. Blurry’s, 349 Peel Street Darkside.

 

A merry band of Hashers, about 24 or so, met at the abode of the infamous Blur, and stood around talking the usual garbage, until The Blur himself invited us to the front lawn, whereupon he espoused the wonders of the trail he had set through the streets of Mackay’s CBD. There was prattle about left chalk and right chalk, you’re gunna luv it, there’s a piss-stop ad- nauseum.  The fact he managed to set a run at all after falling of a ladder and cracking some ribs on a flower-pot had us all believing this would be a minimalist effort. And we was right. A stroll along Alfred St took us almost to Taylor’s pub, before veering off away from the beer. A few twists and turns and found ourselves in the vicinity of the Palace pub. Zorro couldn’t resist, and in he went, only to be accosted by rival footy players who demanded he pay a ransom in beer.
The rest soldiered on, onto the Bluewater Trail along the riverbank. A further turn or three found us in the proximity of the Austral pub, which, surprise surprise, seemed to have a pack of SCB’s who hadn’t followed any trail at all. No names…  Smeg, Hotty, Golly etc…. oh, and there’s Blurry. Luckily a few jugs of suds helped wash away the dust of the trail, before we wandered off back to the Hash piss. But not before being accosted by a Tina Turner look-alike, who turned out to be Zorro’s son at a footy Mad-Monday. Pity Zorro was still at the wrong pub!

Back at the On After, a tray of  bread with bacon n egg, and some nuts kept us amused, until the Monk called us all to order. Hotrocks was quickly quietened with a down down for talking in the circle.  The usual round of down downs followed… for the hare and his assistant BloJo. Lassy scored a double down down, for getting a job, and for having a birthday. The hare scored another for also having a birthday. Zorro was called upon to explain his very unusual offspring. Smeg because he wanted free piss. Tonguer pulled out a sheet of jokes, which would have put Knothead to shame if he was there! Round about here I start to lose my memory, so any further charges and jokes all become a Blur. Touche!

Circle closed after a rendition of the club song, and the troops fell into gossipy bullshit.

Out came a curry concoction with rice, which went down a treat, but caused excessive farting next day. The beer supplies dwindled to a critical low, so we all pissed off!

See y’all in Rural View next week.
Pensioner.

Run No #1927
Hare: Who Hasn’t Paid & Breast Stroke
Venue:   16 Lochmaben Court, Beaconsfield
Hashers: ?

 

 

A good crowd of approximately 20 hashers turned up after the annual away run weekend at Finch Hatton, looking for some exercise to get rid of the stomach bulge from too much food and grog over the weekend.

The run was explained by HWP, which sounded exactly like the description of the Finch Hatton run, and away we went. Good to see some runners heading out to the front for a change, being followed up by the walkers. Around the streets we went, across the paddock and past the sewerage pump…..MMMMMM.

Congratulations to all the runners and Wombat for doing the whole run, and eventually all the pack dribbled back to the ON ON. A good run and well marked.

First a beer, then out came a warm dip with corn chips by way of Flaps. So tasty and addictive, that I could not stop eating it.

The circle was called, and the Hares given their down downs, followed by other  charges for Blurry, Pensioner, Golly, Blurry, Zorro and the rest I forget.

Pensioner received another drink and award for achieving 150 runs, and Blurry a drink for achieving Clickity Click.

Jokes were told, lies were spread, and the usual B.S. flowed. A big thank you to all who made the away run the success that it was, then the Mackay song was sung (correctly) and the circle closed.

Out came the Nosh, and what a good feed it was too. Leftovers from roast dinner on Sat night, along with desert. HUGE…

That done, all that was left to do was try to drink the esky dry.

A good night was enjoyed and off we all went to our beds.

Next week’s run (The Down Town Dash) will be from Blurries place, on the Cnr. of Peel and Alfred St.

C….U…All there.

Blurry.

About 25 of us set off from the banks of the Pioneer River in Cremorne. Through the cane fields we walked with the local hash horn and visiting horn in competition. There was plenty of barking and howling from the dogs and no one including Lassie got lost! Past the mater hospital then back down along the river bank to our spot where we all enjoyed a cold beverage and some snacks.

 

Down downs for our visiting Hash members and virgin runners Jenny and Mark (the fam bam up for holidays.)  Mark was so impressed he thinks it’s worth flying up from Brisbane every Monday. Circle jokes weren’t too bad as Knothead was at work!

 

Zorro brought our fire pit again and it was greatly appreciated in the cool weather. Especially by Piccolo, no meat on them legs to keep her warm. 

 

All in all a good run and great food Pawpaw.

Run No #1922
Hare: Flaps
Venue:   17 Jarrah Street, Beaconsfield
Hashers: 28    

 

It was a warmer night from the big rainfall event of 2 mls. Flaps called everyone to the front and explained the run he had set on flour and that there was a piss stop. Did we believe him yes of course. We all headed off down the street to the check on the corner. Hotty and Golly checked right and the rest of us went left to the next check. Zorro and myself checked further up the street to find an on back. By this time Hotty, Golly and us joined the rear of the pack. All were keeping up a swift walk to find the trail almost to the Golf Club but turned past Beaconsfield School and met Flaps at  his piss stop of Lemon Lime and Bitters at the front of the Pioneer School. We found out later Hotty missed the turn along the drain and went further. We turned left into suburbia across the park and on home.

A well marked run and a good length but Hooker thought it was a little long for her for she asked Flaps for a lift home at the piss stop.

Paw Paw and Delicious were keeping the home fire burning but it was there but not lit. Flaps had dips and chips ready and then followed with hot Potato and Leek soup and fresh bread rolls. Flaps called the circle and received his down down for the run. JCF called for jokes and charges. Golly received a down down for forgetting the Banner and a Hashy Birthday was sung for Hooker and Tarzans birthdays on the 4^th and 9^th and to my suprise my 1350 run milestone was rewarded and Blurry for his 1100 run. A late Birthday song for Teflon was remembered and talking in the circle charge for Daffodil and Hotty.

More jokes were told and charges and then the Hash song was sung. Flaps brought out Chicken Masala , Meatballs and pasta. Very filling and tasty.

Next weeks run will be from Ooralea Waters Picnic Park. Turn right at the lights at Bakers creek into Temples lane, continue through the round about, take the next  left turn.

On on

Run Date: 31^st July, 2017
Run No #1921
Hare: Knicker Licker
Venue:   Northview Park, Cnr Shapers Road & Royal Boulevard, Glenella
Hashers: 24    

 

It was a bit chilly when the pack set off from the Royal Boulevard park. A run set by serial run setter Knicka Licka. It was then off  down Schapers road and then buggered if I knew were it went after that. I don’t do runs unless they at least 5 kilometres long.

The run was well marked as Lassie didn’t get lost. The first back were the two fittest runners in Mackay Hash, JCF and Prick, who found Knicka’s keys and with the help of the next fittest runner Zorro proceeded to raid the piss truck.

The rest of the pack slowly made their way back in across the park torches ablaze.

The hare was called up and had his just desserts some sort of song was then sung. Streaker was charged for making Flaps spend his hard earned pension on a taxi, when the bus trip would have done the job cheaper.

Jokes were told, more lies spread. Blurry and Blo Jo had a down down as returning runners, it’s good to see them back at it, although Blurry had a bit of trouble only having the use of one arm. Blo Jo had to take him to the toilet as he had trouble with the undoing of his shorts. (I made that up but don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story).

The song was sung, the start of the second verse through everyone out as it usually does. Food was consumed a chicken stew which was very tasty and bread, followed by homemade apple pie made in Sarah Lee’s home and custard, again all very tasty.

A photo was taken of the Airlie Beach banner with all the hashers in front of it (except for Lassie, who hid under it). Unfortunately someone stole the banner we went to a lot of trouble to steal, please get it back to Golly asap as he is taking it up to Airlie next weekend.

Next weeks run will be from Flaps’ place, the food will be sausages, bread and tomato sauce, without the sausages and bread but plenty of tomato sauce you just have to bring a spoon.

on on a secret run reporter who isn’t Flaps.

 

Run Date: 24^th July, 2017
Run No #1920
Hare: Prick & Lassie
Venue: Goose Ponds
Hashers: 18    

The usual Monday Hash saunter into the venue  occurred from around (what time did you get there DT ?) till just after 6.00 when the last minute flurry of activity started.  Is Tounger here yet, shit I need my torch, better get the horn,  where’s the hare, I’ve  got to have a piss first, is the eskey open, Where the bloody hell is the hare I’m bloody getting thirsty.

Finally Prick steps up to the plate and starts to waffle on about something, till some energetic fool found the trail so the rest of us finally got up the courage to slowly saunter away from the booze. Let me tell U, for some it’s getting harder and harder on these cold dark nights to leave the safety of the Eskey’s .  Not me of course.

The usual procedure followed with people wandering around the streets and ponds finding and loosing the trail, taking short cuts, and pretending that we are exercising, or working up a greater thirst.  Although there was one earth shattering event that occurred, I noticed that Lassie took two false trails then rejoined the pack without getting lost once. Yeh Go Lassie.

Back at the On on the swilling and nibble picking was in full swing when that bloody loud  JCF, supported by the equally booming Flaps, rudely interrupted the festivities so that they could crap on and pretend that they had some sort of authority.  They then proceeded to pick on “the poor little Prick and demure Lassie”, fuck I nearly choked on that , for setting a shitty run.  No shitty run song for them I noticed. A  few jokes and Down downs followed, and all looked like another Ho Hum circle until along come Zorro.

This man should be congratulated !  For weeks now JCF  has been pouncing on poor unsuspecting  hashers and demanding that they tell a joke. When they couldn’t, forcing them to have a Down down.  But Zorro fucked that up, not only did he have a joke but a good one. Net result “we will sing the song now  Circle closed”.  Shortest circle we have had in ages.

The nosh was produced and then the sea gulls descended. The smart ones held back until the pushing and shoving and squawking had abated before they quietly  approached the food.  A first I thought it was strange behaviour but then I realised that it was Lassie who did the catering , not Prick. I know the food was good because Piccolo went back for seconds.  How do I know she had seconds, because at the end of the night when everyone up and left there was only two of us left me packing up and Piccolo finishing off her food.

Does anyone have a stopwatch I think I should time how long it takes her to eat her food. I think it could be a gold medal for Australia at the next Olympics      Haha     On that note

See ya next week
