Run – 2233
Hare – Flaps
Venue –Along the fence outside Carlyle Gardens, Mt Pleasant
Hashers: 29

It was a lovely evening with the wind well blocked by all the cars lined up along the fence.  There was barely room in the protected space for the 28 hashers who arrived in anticipation of an amazing Flaps’ feed.

The first arrivals caught him setting up lights, tables and 4 pots off ?!?  Always organised is Flaps (with some assistance from ever helpful Hashers.) Bunbury blow-ins Wet Lips and Spa Dick Us joined Darwin’s Ruff Red and Take Over (again) as visiting runners.

Lengthy run directions were delivered and the clever listeners (this reporter NOT included) led the way across the overpass bridge, to the traffic lights (which proved treacherous for some…!), and on-on into the housing estate keeping strictly to the left. Nicka and others set a cracking pace for the ‘Shit Hot’ or was that ‘Shitty’ run.  Thirsty and hungry ‘runners’ arrived back at camp after a gruelling 55 minutes through suburbia.

Flaps did not disappoint with crackers, dips, perfectly warmed Brie, buttered French bread and chicken neck soup in high class disposable cups as a warm-up…AND there were 3 pots to go!

Circle was called, though that proved difficult to form, history of rowing across the Atlantic told, multiple jokes shared and many down-downs taken.

Flaps came through again!  The delicious, 3 pot main meal was up next followed by a proper 3rd course of mini pavs.  Gourmet on a camp stove!  Thanks for a great night, Flaps.

Next week we’ll meet at the Northern Beaches Community Hall car park in Butler Street, Bucasia – west side, have our walk and then drive on to 66 O’Brien Esplanade for everything else.  John will be there for any non-walkers. 

On-on,

Maple Syrup

Run – 2232
Hare – Daffodil
Venue – Evolution Park, Paget
Hashers: 25

25 Hashers gathered at Evolution Park for the run set by Daffodil and Corgi.

It was a very tiring setting the run as they had to have something to lie on when they finished setting it, vis a vi a double mattress, hope they enjoyed the rest.

The runners (I use the word advisedly) set off down the grassy knoll and quickly disappeared faster than you can say JFK. Shocker must have known something as he used a scooter to get around on, however it ran out of fuel and so had to complete the run on foot (boo hoo). He then had to go and pick up his u beaut new car before it was stolen.

The rest of the pack did the right thing and continued on the run as any good hasher should do. It was up and down and round and round and finally made it home for dips and biscuits.

The Monk then called for the circle to form, however they could only manage a semi-circle.

The Monk then read out his on this day segment about a Pole with a wheelbarrow name that he couldn’t pronounce, I can’t for the life of me, remember what the whole story was about, obviously something very important or the Monk wouldn’t have read it out.

The hare was given his just desserts and it was unclear whether it was a shithouse run or a shit hot, so it was decided to sing the shithouse song just in case.

Charges were laid against Snot for not bringing his stubby holder and then blaming Insex for his lack of memory, but he then called her Heather (what the fucks a Heather) Zorro was given his usual down down (was it Tonto) Golly

charged Tonto for looking too much like Donald Trump, which made Tonto (or was it Zorro) almost have fit. Down downs were given to Knicka Licka and Piccolo Pirate as returning runners and two visiting hashers Rough Red and her partner (memory lapse sorry).

Jokes were told some were even funny, and then much to everyone’s delight the food came out, Lamb Stew and Rice (beautiful) followed by Tim Tams and chocolate coated marshmallow biscuits. More beer was consumed and stories told and then it was off home.

Next week’s run will be at 206 Phillip Street Mt Pleasant just past the roundabout in front of Carlyle Gardens set by Flaps.

Looking forward to a very short run as my mobility scooter doesn’t have enough power for a long one.

On On Flaps.                  

                      

 

 

 

Run Date: 24 July, 2022
Run No :2231
Hare: Zorro   
Venue:  Run/Walk from Park Area next to Mky Surf Life Saving Sup. Club, East Point Dr, Mackay Harbour. Nosh 35 Graves St, North Mackay.Hashers: 16   

A wet & cold day was forecasted and so it was. There was a break between 6 and 8pm Willie Weather said so we remembered what Golly has said Hash is on whether “ rain, hail or cyclone”.  We arrived at the Harbour where we saw Blurry and Pensioner vehicles and then Zorro and Matches arrived followed by Golly and Raggedy. Zorro said we are off at 6pm not waiting for Tonguer & Prick & Shocker. Matches had some spare rain coats which Blurry & I gladly wrapped up in to keep the wind and cold out. Off down to the Dunes new estate we crossed really spongy turf on the sides of the walk way. Zorro was leading a quick pace circumnavigating the dunes estate where he chatted with a contractor working late which gave Matches and Raggedy time to catch up. The rain drops easing we saw the last of the setting sun in the  west. We arrived back at the car park to see Tonguer’s vehicle and Shockers but didn’t see them. They may have gone the other direction since it was a live hare run. On back to Graves Street for the on on. We followed Blurry back but he took the second street on the left but no it was the third one. Around the block he came.

Screw & Fork, Snot & Insex & Flaps were already settled in around the table and fire on the side. Matches had the favourite salmon dip and a spicy sweet potato one too. Zorro brought out his turkey neck and vegetable soup to warm us up. Matches is lucky to have a partner that can cook as well as build fences. Screw called us to form a circle as Smut was missing.

Flaps had a new down down song for the hares top run. Charges were given mostly to Zorro for the weekend at Claireview, Snot for being lazy, driving his vehicle  to the circle of Christmas in July. Jokes were told by Blurry, Flaps, Tonguer, Prick & Insex. Zorro announced the committee meeting on this Sunday 30July and Christmas in July next year will maybe be at Halliday Bay.  Executive lunch announced, Circle over , Hash Nosh of curried sausages was brought down by Zorro with fresh bread & butter. A few more beers & ciders was had before on home.

Top effort and another enjoyable night.

Our Run Report c/- Zorro.

An 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor
is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, ‘how do you stay
in such great physical condition?’

I’m Italian and I am a golfer,’ says the old guy, ‘and that’s why I’m
in such good shape. I’m up well before daylight and out golfing up and
down the fairways. I have a glass of vino, and all is well.’

“’Well’ says the doctor, ‘I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be
more to it. How old was your Father when he died?’

‘Who said my Father’s dead?’

The doctor is amazed. ‘You mean you’re 80 years old and your Father’s
still alive. How old is he?’

‘He’s 100 years old,’ says the Old Italian golfer. ‘In fact he golfed
with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk
and had a little vino and that’s why he’s still alive. He’s Italian
and he’s a golfer, too.’

‘Well,’ the doctor says, ‘that’s great, but I’m sure there’s more to
it than that. How about your Father’s Father?  How old was he when he
died?’

‘Who said my Nono’s dead?’

Stunned, the doctor asks, ‘you mean you’re 80 years old and your
grandfather’s still living!  Incredible, how old is he?’

‘He’s 118 years old,’ says the Old Italian golfer.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, ‘So, I guess he went
golfing with you this morning too?’

‘No, Nono couldn’t go this morning because he’s getting married today.’

At this point the doctor is close to losing it.  ‘Getting married!!
Why would a 118 year- old guy want to get married?’

‘Who said he wanted to?

Run – #2228
Hare – Snot
Venue – 19 Tern Street, Slade Point
Hashers: 22

Driving out through the flashing lights, sirens and giving way to the huge German Shepards crossing the road, we made our way out to Snots place at Slade Point. Beautiful beach spot just as the sun set. Hashers gathered around and Snot gave the instructions on the Run. “You need a torch”, Track set in orange tape, on the left and on the right. Look out for the headless doll, fishing Rod and a few other random items. By the time we headed off we needed the torches. Down a lot of back-alley ways and through the scrub. Was a great run around Sladie which we haven done in a while. Some of the tape had been relocated to the ground by the locals but we still made our way around the 4.75 km trail. On Home where, we stocked up a Smokey fire even though it was a good temperature. Peanut entree went well with the beer. Circle formed up and a flurry of charges for Snot and Zorro. Plenty of good jokes, a few announcements, song sung and circle closed. Snot cooked up a delicious Chicken Stew which got devoured by the hungry hashers. Dessert was Ice cream cones. Very nice! Great Run – See you next Monday  – Shocker

Run – #2227
Hare – Pensioner & Mango
Venue – John Breen Park, Malcomson Street, North Mackay
Hashers: 26 

 

An intrepid bunch of approximately zero supremely fit runners turned up however there was another crowd of worn out runners (aka walkers) 26 in all. These magnificent former athletes answered the call of On On.  They followed the setting sun and it was off down Malcomson Street and headed across the Maplethorpe Bridge into the heart of the Dark Side of town.

It was about this time that two of the prominent hashers who being fully aware of the crime wave became concerned about the safety of the hash piss.  They returned to find Flaps valiantly guarding the grog, ably assisted by the Hare.  After checking the contents of the esky it was found that 2 beers were in imminent danger, so were consumed with gusto before they become hot.  It was only a few more minutes and the hordes arrived to help with emptying the eskys.

The monk eventually called the circle to order and we were given a history lesson about what happened on this day eons ago. Somehow John Deere became involved but I missed the rest whilst getting another beer.  The hare got his Down Down for not getting the pack lost in the dark; apparently it was a shitty trail, no hills, no shiggy, no muggings and worst of all no piss stop. 

Jokes were told, Zorro got a down down, just because, apparently it’s the GMs job to set the mood for the evening.  Tarzan gave us another history listen something about Thursday Island.  Then there was a bit of debate on who will be choirmaster for a few weeks as, Tarzan, our current one is doing a bit of attention seeking in Townsville. Don’t think the position was filled or maybe it was when I was checking the state of the eskys.

Eventually the circle closed, but to be reconvened at 19 Tern Street, Slade Point next week

ON ON

Run – #2226
Hare – Juice & Termite
Venue – Park area @ Dumbleton Weir

20 brave hashers braved the deepening cold to meet in the carpark beside the river along Maraju Yakapari Road at Dumbleton. Did I mention the cold? Well, that’s because tomorrow is The Winter Solstice.
Solstice comes from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
A solstice is when either of the earth’s poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun, and therefore produces the shortest day of the year. Which is Sunrise 6.37am, sunset 5.01pm Thursday 22 June. And that of course means that a 6PM start to the run is already in darkness. Round about 5.55PM we spotted a torch bobbing towards us, which turned out to be Juice, who merrily pointed us in a northerly direction, those without torches huddling close to those that had. At the first turn into Mallia Rd, Juice held back before happily yelling “On Back!” The mob then reversed direction and headed further into the gloom. That’s where I took a wrong directive and ended up back at the carpark, where I found Zorro, Half-a-Boat, TopKnot, Pisco and Wheelie waiting for the runner’s return. About an hour or so later Golly rolled in, informing us that the rest of the herd had already made it to Juice & Termite’s lavish abode, so off we went, left right left again to the house on the hill. Now, being freezing cold by this stage, we expected a roaring fire, and indeed found some massive old timber beams, just perfect for a bonfire, but unfortunately Termite insisted that they was part of the construction, and we weren’t allowed to burn ‘em.

Circle called, and the general consensus was the run went round and round up and down and no-one had any idea where they went as it was cold n dark. A few down downs were handed out, some jokes told, Bob Down welcomed back into the fold, and Wheelie helped Flaps tell a story in his own inimitable way.

Closed circle meant tuckertime… and Termite didn’t disappoint, with a vegan concoction for the vegans, and a meaty stew for the rest. Some sips and bullshite later, the timtams came out, and then the mob melted off into the night. Next week….. Jim Beam, err, sorry, John Breen Park, see ya there.
