Run No: 2174
Hare: Prick
Venue: Gooseponds behind Nth Mackay Bowls Club
Hashers: 18

A hash gang of 16, or was it 17…18… buggered if I know. A bunch of us gathered at the BBQ behind the bowlie, from where we could safely scowl at the assembled ducks n gooses, who, in turn wondered what tasty delights we may have, but weren’t quite game enough to risk a savaging from MiniDog, Blurry’s faithful protector.
Prick gathered us all together and announced the trail was set in chalk, just before the rain… and so it became a live hare follow me type of thing. After traipsing around the goosie area we found ourselves back at the main drag, only to realize Prick had given us the slip and disappeared into the night. Undeterred, we battled on, finding the steepest parts of Nth Mackay, before eventually finding our way back to the beer, which had been delivered by Topknot & Wheelie, who then both departed claiming to be too sick to stay.
Prick produced bikkies and cornchips n dip, which would have been good if he’d remembered the dip. Into the car and off home he went, triumphantly waving dip upon his return.
Bullshit was chattered, until The Monk called us to his history lesson, which covered several centuries of happenings, none of which were important. Hare Prick was called forward for a drink, followed by another for some unforeseen infraction, followed by another for another infraction, at which stage Prick thought it would be prudent to stay there.
Maple had a drink for something… can’t remember…. Some other drinks may or may not have been drunk….. can’t remember that either. Some jokes were offered, and a story or two from Flaps. Circle closed and it was time for Prick to deliver his world famous Chicken Bone Stew, which turned out be 2 trays of pies n peas. Followed by store-bought banana cake, followed by jelly beans and choc sultanas. Was almost a return to childhood.
More banter was bantered, before the mob broke off and wandered home.
All told, it was a great way to spend a chilly eve.
Next week, for possibly the final time…. It’s OnOn to The White House On The Hill, which you can buy if you wish, as we is sneaking off to a new abode.
Bring a packing box and we’ll see ya there.

Hare: Tonto
Venue: St Bees Ave, Bucasia
Hashers: 18

Cold. Clear. Full moon. The big girl blouses’s stayed at home near the heater and Mummy; the real Hashers appeared at Bucasia and took on the very demanding run set by Tonto.  WE all took off from the venue; plenty of chalk marks, not a hill to be seen, no water, no mud, hold ups due to serious roadworks, a piss stop late in the run organised by Lassie, and still most of the runners took the sort cuts!  I really don’t understand what is going on. Are we a running group, or are we a drinking group? Seems to be neither!! 

Back to the venue; some nibbles, a few drinkies, the circle and a few jokes , a few charges, a history lesson extending from 1775 to the present day,  and then a great feed of cottage pie and stewed sausages. A bit of yap, a few beers, a laugh or two and then on home to the Boss. 

Great night.

Cheers. Prick.

Next run:  BBQ area at the Gooseponds behind Goosies.

Hare: Daffodil & Corgi
Venue: Park @ Far Beach, opposite Citi-beach Volleyball, Petrie St, South Mackay
Hashers: 15

 

15 hashers gathered for our 2072 run set by trailmaster Daffodil at far beach (illawong)  park.

The run was originally to set by Golly, however he had a bad case of the lurgi so was unable to set it.

The music was supplied by the beach volley ball arena, plenty of rock and roll, which set the scene for a rollicking run.

The run was set in chalk and was clearly marked (apparently) as everyone made it back safely after a wander around the streets off East Mackay.

There were a few noticeable absentees , the monk, the monkee and the choir master, so we had to make do with the circle being run by the GM and the songs led by Blurry with the aid of Tarzan.

The hare received his down down for the run, charges were made, jokes told and finally the song was sung with not too much gusto as the wind was a bit on the chilly side.

Metro a returning visiting runner made an appearance and Nicker Licker received a T-shirt for his 500^th run. A great effort Nicker.

See you at Lassie and Tonto’s run next week, St Bees ave Bucasia fur run 2173.

Just a reminder about the over 100kg run, it will be at Delisssssshhhhs place on the 19^th of June, wear you t-shirt and be prepared for a pie and beer.

The Xmas in July  party is up and locked in so make sure you have booked in to the Barra Club.

 

On on till next week.

Hare: Zorro
Venue: 70 Satellite Cr, Mackay Harbour
Hashers: Solid Gathering???

 

• Solid gathering turned up to Zorro’s place – don’t know how many
• Surprise appearances by Streaker and Blurry plus dog
• Vague, misleading run notes issued by Zorro, apart from the advice that it only took him 15 minutes to set
• Bunch of whinging pricks struggled their way to the top of Mount Basset lookout hoping to snare a piss-stop – no luck
• Followed same path home
• Appetisers served including Matches legendary salmon dip
• Circle called. Following history trip, Zorro received multiple charges plus Streaker got in on the act by trying some sort of miss-guided attempt to get Raggedy Anne involved in the circle via mobile phone.
• Wasn’t long before Streaker was in the centre of the circle taking her returning runner charge along with Blurry
• A welcome flurry of jokes, got so busy at one stage, there was a waiting line – Golly experimented with something in the obscure space.
• New runner, Casty, introduced by Zorro, took centre stage for his two seconds of glory before consuming the customary down-down
• GM put out a last ditch call for Mystery bus candidates – feel free to make up mind at last minute – plenty of seats
• Executive lunch venue announced, plus next week’s run at 57 Bradman Drive, Glenella
• Zorro excelled with a hearty pea soup complimented by a sausage casserole consumed around the first fire pit for the year
• With bellies full and more than enough bullshit expelled, participants mizzled off home.

Hare: Flaps
Venue: 17 Jarrah Street, Beaconsfield
Hashers: 22 

22 hashers attended the run #2169 for Mackay Aye Hash.

Hare Flaps had an envelope run arranged for our encouragement. Off we went into the yonder, to find to turn left?

SCB, the walkers, and high achievers all made the loop back home. The usual procedures followed, pay the $$, enjoy the appetizers and drinks of ale and cider. Alas! The beer was diminishing quickly. Top Knot’s duty called upon asap to re-stock the sorrowful esky.

Entrée of gourmet Tomato Soup, followed by the traditional Circle called and GM charged again. 2 weeks in a row now.

Main course delivered a selection of Mango and Apricot Chicken on fettucine, along with Sweet & Sour Pork on rice. Love your work Flaps.

On home shortly after, with next week’s run at Zorro’s. 

Weather forecast for the weekend is drizzling rain.

The Caravan and Camping Expo this weekend at the showgrounds, Barnesy has Covid and Legends on the Lawn has been postponed to 27 August.

Voting on Saturday for the Federal Election.

On On,

Matches and Zorro.

Run No: 2168
Hare: Prick 
Venue: Under Southern end of Ron Camm Bridge,
access by dirt road @ Northern end of Hume Street, West Mackay.
Hashers: 19

With rain threatening 19 brave hashers gathered at clubhouse number 2 under the Ron Cam bridge. The last time I remember being there, was during a cyclone it was wild and woolly. Luckily there was no cyclone (weather cyclone or hasher Cyclone). It has changed a bit since then, civilized walkways and fences so we couldn’t park under the bridge and keep the rain off.

Rarebutt and Titanic had a bit of trouble with the exact location, even after Delicious gave them a map, and specific instructions on how to get there from Caneland car park, however they eventually found their way to the start.

Pensioner was no where to be seen, apparently he didn’t want to get his Merc dirty, or to disappear down a pothole. Hash piss also had some trouble finding the run site as well and everyone was in a panic, no piss but to the credit of Maneki Pussy the piss arrived safe and sound

Prick called the pack to order and swore there was a pisstop,  unfortunately a few missed it apparently, so missed out on a top brew, well according to Prick.

There was a total lack of light but Flaps came to the rescue with a light and a table so everyone could see each other, although Rarebutt and Titanic lurked in the shadows, couldn’t quite see what they were up to.

The trail meandered along the path and with a bit of luck everyone  managed to find their way back to the on on where Prick had heated up some potatoes with butter and garlic, but no fucking salt.

The hare was given his just desserts. Charges were made down downs consumed,  jokes were told with tounger telling two jokes both were quite amusing.

The nosh was served, pies, peas and tomato sauce, Prick obviously spent hours in the kitchen making them, or was it chef four-n-twenty. Everyone stood around talking and consuming their pies. It then started to spit rain so everyone thought it was about time to leave, Prick and tounger stayed a bit longer but even they succumbed to the weather and headed off home

On on to next Monday at 17 Jarrah Street Beaconsfield, for what could be the last time. Flaps

No run report this week 

Run Date: 25.04.2022
Run No: 2166
Hare: Delicious
Venue: 117 Tropical Ave Andergrove
Hashers: 19

Well we all know whose run it is Just take one look at the sky, but even with it looking as black as a witches tit, 19 intrepid / stupid hashers turned up, for a run of undetermined length, because either the rain washing any marks away, or  Delicious bring three sheets to the wind after Crystals dawn service run  was not game to bend over to place them there. But one must give credit where credit is due because she spent a lot of time holding up the corner post of the veranda, presumably to protect us from the rain that didn’t fall until we were safely under cover.

The run, well what is there to say it was the shortest run ever but it still managed to get almost everyone lost and if it wasn’t for the hashers uncanny sense to be able to sniff out where the esky is some of them would still be out there   Very Thirsty

One advantage of a short run is that U get more drinking time before the bloody Monk interrupts us to regale us with one of his history lessons. Be assured I have duly noted this and will be taking the appropriate shorter approach to run setting next week     ???

Now onto the circle; the hare coped one for the run and one for hanging passionately onto quite a large pole.  Prick for a returning runner. and I think others but I was at the esky getting a drink because I drank the other one during the history lesson Then 2 naming Queen Bee  was dethroned and became Maple syrup and the Argentinean whose name I cannot pronounce let alone spell is now pussy fucker

There were a few jokes but the standard is declining. come on U lot circulate around town and pick up some new material.

Delicious presented the nosh and the sea gulls swooped followed by the quieter sound of munching and slurping AND finally the gentle patter of rain falling on the roof. The quieter sound of contented conversation ebbed and flowed till it was shattered by “Last Drinks Please” then the scramble to the esky soon after the sound chairs scraping and being folded as the intrepid faded into the evening thus ending the festivities

Hare: Fork
Venue: 80A Maple Drive, Andergrove
Hashers: 20

 

Who would have thought there was so many hashers doing nothing on an Easter Monday Public holiday!  All 17 arrived in dribs and drabs chaffing at the bit to go for a walk or did they come to eat Screws 70+2 Birthday Cake, which  is probably more likely.

Our Hare Fork, called “Are We” which eventually created some kind of movement towards the driveway and out to the road.  Explaining that she had set a trail, but it was washed away by the rain, so it was to be a live hare run.

On there return we were joined by Joe, visiting from Capella (Fork’s Brother), yet another one looking to eat birthday cake.  Nibbles was 2 elaborate boards filled with cheeses, salami, dried fruits, dips, and a variety of crackers.  After these were completely devoured, and quite a few drinks later.  Smut gave the 5-minute notice that the circle would be up.

The Hare was sung the usual “SHITTY” Trail song, not enough hills, not enough sand, too long, not long enough blah blah blah.

Charges for Tarzan, first for charging JCF for a hat, then it was decided it was a cap, then realised he stuffed up and could not charge JCF, who quickly reversed it.  Then Tar boy again, with wishing Knicker Licker Happy Birthday when he arrived instead of Screw. Maneki Pussy just for being Japanese and having an unusual thirst for Guinness beer.

Returning runners included Flaps, Mariano and Knot Head. No name Joe gladly took one as a visitor.

Flaps told us a little story about his days selling door to door, which prompted Tonto to tell us about a stall at the Seaforth markets selling whips, which turned out to be selling cameras loaded with porn…..

Knot Head’s joke complete with props and actions, being an umbrella bang bang your dead gun, and his impersonation of a tank.  Yes, you had to be there, but I am still in shock, he actually made people laugh.  Which was rewarded with a down down and then copped another for spillage of beer on the couch.

Screw and Fork were both charged with Hashy Birthdays, Fork’s was last week, but had said nothing. 

Hash song sung and the Circle closed, we were then served cold chicken, ham, salads and rolls, followed by the long-awaited Birthday cake, which didn’t disappoint.

I reminded everyone about the Mystery Bus Trip on Saturday the 28^th of May, we need heaps more bums on seats for this one, so get your money in and come and enjoy a momentous day.

 Also, if you wish to participate in the Over 100kg Run 11 (Virtual) to be held on Sunday the 19^th of June 2022 please let me know. $35.00 buys you a Goodie Bag, which includes your very exclusive 5XL shirt.  So you can be a fat bastard and eat pies and drink beer on the day, and send a photo to the Over 100kg Run Facebook page.  We have 6 registered from Mackay so far.

See you next Monday for Anzac Day either at 6:00am for Mackay Full Moon Breakfast at Crystal’s abode or 6:00pm at 117 Tropical Avenue, Andergrove (that is if I am still upright)?

On On
