Run Report. May 8, 2023.
Run No.  2220. 
Venue:  Shoal Point.
Hare:  Golly.

We all gathered at the Chez Golly and shot the breeze for a few minutes as dark and cold engulfed the wilds of Shoal Point. Golly the Hare took us all out to the front gate and told us the usual; marked in chalk and lime, no torches required, a piss stop for all, and the run would be wheelchair accessible!  What a crock!

We took off on what was probably the least marked run of the year; perhaps the inflation surrounding the country  has led to the cost of lime and chalk being prohibitive. The result is that we all looked to Raggedy for guidance and may as well have appealed to your mother in law re your wife. She was somewhat less than helpful.

Anyway, the pack got hopelessly lost with one half short cutting on home, and the other half walking the streets, bush and beaches of Shoal Point. Finally in the park we found Golly with a very welcome piss stop.

Then on home to a few beers. The circle was called, the history lesson delivered, a down down for Golly, a few jokes, some charges for the visitors from Townsville  and the usual bullshit followed by the Hash Song.

 Then party pies, sausage rolls, beef stew, curried sausages and 5 varieties of Tim Tams in front of a roaring fire. A great evening!

On On.  Tonguer.

Next Run:  Tonguer.  12 Hill End Road, Glenella.

Date – 1st May 2023

Hares – Pussy & Pussy

We headed to 44 mango drive must off been a bit early as we caught Pussy F with his pants down as he was still mowing the lawn and setting up.

Pussy gathered us out on Mango Drive and let us go. Crossroad towards beach around block some went right on trail some went left towards Home we all know who they were. On down road then towards Dolphin Heads than we took a sharp left cross country. This is where the 2 wheelies needed a few more need horse power to get through the  rough and up and over hill Good start to new carrier KAT ?

On towards beach for well earned PISS stop. Wheelie kept his hands off bowl this time and we all had drinks. On back on trail and home.
Entreaties were served rice balls very nice . Circle was called History lesson which made a bit off sense to some .Jokes told not many charges given to all that went away for a few runs so if you don’t to be charged keep coming every Monday Song sang circle closed.

Hare – Daffodil & Corgi
Venue – Quota Park, Binnington Esplanade, East Mackay
Hashers: 9

Some Hashers will always turn up for a Hash Run. Bravo!

Daffodil had a tarped gazebo, to shelter fellow hashers from the wind and rain, and it worked a treat.

Tarzan delivered gifts, for our excitement and recollections.

The weather gods were about, and gave Corgi the green light for our wander into the local streets, and we all stayed dry, can you believe it!

The 3 wise monkeys? (MONK, MONKEE, & GM) were AWOL.

Circle, song, & history lesson all wrapped up, and into the Classic Nosh.

Bangers! Great brew it was and plenty to share. The Tim Tams followed shortly after.           

For fellow hashers, our condolences go out to Mango and Pensioner.

Maneki Pussy has next week’s run at 44 Mango Avenue, Eimeo. Please park cars at Sunset bay.

On On…

Matches.

 

                       

 

Date – 17/04/2023
Run – 2217
Hare – Smut
Venue – 57 Bradman Drive, Glenella
Hashers: 28

A cloudy day cleared to sunshine getting that washing dried and a clear pleasant evening for a walk around the streets of Glenella. Close to 6, Smut called everyone out the front and we were on the trail of arrows to find the piss stop. We followed the trail back out to the old Glenella Hall where participants were rocking the floor. Crossing over the road was a bit daring we thought but we managed to get the group back on track past Tonguer’s place and around to the path along the creek to the park where Smut was waiting with his trusty steed and his orange brew. It was straight forward to find home but some managed to find old trails back home.

The numbers had grown. Snot and Insex were late comers nearly running over a couple of Hashers while finding a parking space. They were charged for this mister meaner later in the circle. All back and beers in hand Smut called for the circle and gave us our history lesson. He charged himself for his well marked run and called for charges and jokes. Corgi got charged for not thinking fish were animals by Lassie who was sporting a white beard Nicker said. Flaps was charged a couple of times, Pensioner for short cutting, Matches – taking one for Zorro, Fork & Screw for Birthdays.

Hash nosh was served, Chicken and Mushroom risotto and Taco Rice. Termite licked the serving spoon clean after the hungry Hashers cleaned out the two serving dishes. Tim Tams for desert. A good night was had by all. Thanks to Smut and Rita    

On on

Daffodil & Corgi

Run – 2216
Hare – Top Knot
Venue – The Park, Beachway Bld, Shoal Point
Hashers: 23

23 hopefuls stuffed full of chocolate and hot cross buns gathered near the shores of Shoal Point’s most recent purpose-built mosquito breeding structure and engaged in disjointed banter while waiting expectantly for the hare to provide leadership and guidance.

Eventually, a call was made to listen to the hare. However, most totally ignored the instructions and kept up their mindless verbal exchanges while the hare was mumbling incoherently and pointing in various directions. Despite no-one understanding any of it, the bulk of the gathered throng waddled off aimlessly in a range of different directions.

Confusion reigned for a couple of the front runners seeking to locate marks while the rest remained totally ignorant of their surroundings and followed around in a zombie-like state until a short-cut to the piss-stop was identified, and all of a sudden, the bulk of the zombies became remotely engaged in the trail.

The hare maintained his usual standard of sweet tasting piss-stop beverage and had to muster all of his persuasive power to get a reluctant cohort of back-markers to re-join the trail while there were still left-overs.

Once back at the mosquito laboratory, and the circle was called, Zorro came under the usual level of extreme attack, although some efforts backfired.

Maple Syrup opened the joke session with what Raggedy Anne considered to be a side-splitter – whilst the toilet humour contribution was a good effort in comparison with the usual lame bollocks that’s dished up, it was hardly the zinger of all-time. Subsequently, Raggedy got a down-down for wetting her pants. 

Pussy Fucker (English interpretation) introduced virgin runner Jarrod and took a down-down on Jarrod’s behalf.

The Monk assumed a spiritual-like stance, before calling Melina into the circle to kneel before him – she reluctantly complied, harbouring Charles Manson cult-like visions.

With the usual range of Hash pomp and ceremony, Melina was named Pisco Sister in reference Peru’s national alcoholic drink – besides, it easy to remember for old hashers slipping quietly off into dementia.

A refreshingly tasty chocolate and hot cross bun free dinner was served and was nicely closed-out with Wheelies birthday cheese-cake.

Topknot and Pisco Sister were congratulated on their run-hosting efforts before attention turned to next week’s run at 57 Bradman Drive, Glenella.

Venue – 66 O’Brien Esplanade, Shoal Point
Hashers: 21

Maple Syrup’s joint in Far North Shoal Point.

Isn’t it a bugga when you forget to write the run report soon after the event. That means you forget stuff.

Like how many hashers….. 21 I think.

The run….. follow the hare around the beaches.

The circle……. I think there was a medical theme.

The charges….. plenty of em with Zorro starring. Can’t recall wot for though.

The jokes….. usual assortment.

The bullshit….. can’t remember any of it.

The grub….. now then, me remembers that…. Fresh rolls with pulled pork and coleslaw, and even a dish for the vegans amongst us. The host Maple Syrup did a fine job of not remembering the chocolates for desert, which she sheepishly presented after many had left. Oh well, Maple and hubby John can chow down later.

Now then, wot else did I forget? Can’t remember.

Next week we battle the mozzies at John Breen Park. See ya there.

Run – 2213
Hare – Tarzan (Tar Boy)
Venue – 4 Evans Avenue, North Mackay
Hashers: 27

What a deluge…what a flood…Rain, Hashers and St Paddy’s Day treats came together  Monday night!  Twenty seven (give or take) crowded into a double carport at the back of #4 Evans with rain lashing sideways from the south east.  All hunkered down, discussing the distinct possibility of giving the ‘run’ a miss.  Miraculously, (though Corgi knew it would happen) the rain let up (for a while) and the true blue Hashers set off on an envelope run.  It was a long one!   The wet rain jackets, umbrellas and T-shirts finally  arrived at Tarzan’s traditional drink stop to indulge in some well-deserved Guinness, green ginger beer and ??? ‘piss in paper cups’ before high tailing it back to number 4, trying to miss the rivers and lakes spreading over the roads and footpaths as more rain fell.

Snacks were waiting in the carport along with the comfort lovers and some tasty Japanese snacks from Maniki Pussy returning with PF!  Circle was called and lead by Screw.  The run was judged to be shitty, multiple charges  down-downed for calling people their birth names and for once, Zorro was forgotten despite his massive green hat!   The Hare shared a report he wrote in 1997 about another St Paddy’s Run for that touch of Irish nostalgia.  Tarzan’s Irish stew and potatoes with plenty of bread for mopping up the gravy was delish, while an Irish quiz and lollie/chocolate prizes with quiz master U-Turn signalled an approaching end to a windy, wet but great night.  Oops!…can’t forget the green mint jelly and…what was in that box?

On, on all to Shoal Point, once again, next week.

Maple Syrup

Have a good week!

Hare – Screw
Venue – Mulherin Park, Mackay Harbour
Hashers: 26

Well 26 motley hashers rolled up at the old Snoopy Park at the Harbour at around 6pm. Since I was there last, it has had a bit of a facelift with new tables, bins, paths etc. Hare Screw advised that it was a live hare run. So we all toddled off in the direction of the ocean. We we’re promised a piss stop but after about 226m we entered Sails Bar. However this was just a ruse as we continued on for another 1km or so, where the real piss stop was waiting. Back on home again thru Sails bar again (Zorro was glad). Nibbles served & circle called. Down Down for Screw for leading us thru a pub (twice) a definite NO NO for hash,  a couple of others for returning runners Hard Drive, Rarebutt, Paw Paw, Snot for returning from near death. Just can’t keep him down.  A few jokes told & song sung then Nosh served up. Excellent cold meats, salad, rolls etc. Tarzan then reminded the circle that next week is a St Patties Day Run. So wear your green gear, commemorative shirts etc. Potatoes will feature strongly on the menu. See ya all there.

 ON ON The TARBOY.

 

Date – 06/03/2023
Run – 2211
Hare – Piccolo
Venue – 82 Grendon Street, North Mackay
Hashers: 26

26 hashers turned up for an anticipated meander around Piccolo’s abode and North Mackay, as far as the run went or for how long it was, I wouldn’t have a clue, or give a fuck because mineself and Fork turned up late because of Fork’s work, anyway I threw myself at the esky, just to make sure it was safe to drink the piss. Hashers started to appear in dribs and drabs moaning about a piss poor run, mineself thought who gives a fuck, with most of the pack in, who did the same as me and threw themselves at the esky, then nibblies appeared, the old dip and bickies trick, Monk announced that the circle will begin in 5 mins so we all stood to attention and he started mumbling about something what happened about 1000yrs ago, don’t know but who fuck cares. The hare was summoned and sent off with a piss poor effort, two visitors were called forth, Grotty and Cramp from Horny Hash, couldn’t, both tripped and came 5th, charges were called for, so much for them, to fucken many to remember, stories and jokes told, laughter heard, as well as slurping, business taken care of, song sung and circle ended. The nosh came out, rice and some chicken thingy, it filled a hole, anyway the bullshit started and laughter and slurping was heard again, by this time it was way past my beddy time, so mineself and Fork just fucked off. ### So hope to see you all next week, so we can do it all over again, at the outer harbour, old Mulherin Park, just near Barney Rubble, see you then ###

ON ON

Screw and Fork.
