RUN REPORT FROM BAAGOOSE

 The band of fearless hashers gathered slowly at the domicile of Fork and Screw in drizzling rain. Those who came prepared clutching umbrellas – so much for fearless hashers -who wants to get wet – maybe the rain will cause the colours to run on our colourful t-shirts.

 Anyhow, we are sitting round talking hash bullshit when Fork/Screw announced that there was no marked trail, so those who are inclined can go for a walk. – Not even a live hare to give some direction.

 After a short time, Flaps turned back. JCF and yours truly turned back to keep him company in the event of a mishap. Fortunately all was well, so we had a very short trail.

 As the pack trailed in, we all sat around and talked hash bullshit and munched on some munchies, until the Monk called for a circle.

 Run number 2087 – so what happened 100 runs ago. Jo Bjelke stood down and Mike Ahern became premier.

 Top Knot was called upon to give a run report. As expected: hills, hills, hills.

 Charges.

 Screw for hare, JCF gave us a new song.

 No more charges from the floor.

 Charges from the AGPU. Reportedly JCF was swept out the door with the trash clutching?? Bottles to a waiting taxi. Who knows what happened from there?

 Jokes.

 Pensioner told one of the endless stream of jokes from Flavio and Fulvio.

 Baagoose told the story of the three rats, followed by a joke about a small Italian wedding.

 With no further entertainment, discussion re executive lunch. Taylors at 12.29.

 Some discussion about international grandparents???

 Hash song.

Circle closed 7.14.

Hare: Daffodil & Corgi
Venue: Illawong Beach Park, BBQ area next to Citibeach Volleyball
Hashers: 20

 

20 exuberant hashers piled out of their modes of transport (some in better condition than others
– Yes, Hashers and Vehicles) and started making their way towards the BBQ area, fighting against
the 50 knot sea winds, trying to blow them all away.
Many stopped to read the memorial, picture taken on a much nicer day.

 

 

But I digress, some just wanted to see if they could steal the flowers!
Corgi called everyone up to pass on the directions for the run, all markings are on the right. But
some said yeah except for when they are on the left. Daffodil interjected that they would then
be working backwards….
On On to wherever they went, leaving Delicious wrapped in Raggedy Anne’s doona, looking like
“Sitting Bull” keeping guard of the various items and chairs left scattered around.
On their return, some with their shoes full of sand. Dips and crackers were provided, and then
the circle was called by Tar Boy.
Run report given by someone who arrived with Top Knot & Wheelie, I think he was from
Argentina, who stated “It was good” which still received the shitty trail song.
Jokes by Tounger, Pensioner and others. Charges to Jenny Craig’s Fucked x 2 from Zorro for
misdemeanours from the weekend at Kinchant Dam (something about a Toothbrush, but I don’t
think we want to know)! No notable achievements to report and no Birthdays. Executive Lunch
was decided at Harrup Park at 12:29PM. A call for a volunteer to write the Hash Report? Only
Zorro, who said he would do it, but I don’t think he actually meant write anything, but we will
see. Prick kindly offered after the circle, but it was already too late by then.
Don’t forget the AGPU next Monday – Run #2086 at the Mackay Bowls Club, Nebo Road at $15.00
for everyone. All positions for the new Committee will be up for grabs. Hash song sung, circle
closed.
Hash Nosh was Curried sausages and potato stew with rice and bread & butter. Followed by Tim
Tams, I even witnessed someone making a Tim Tam sandwich….. Who knew!
Then the food was put away faster than Piccolo could eat. I think Corgi must have been on a
promise lucky girl, and we all were home before a quarter to nine.
On On to the AGPU

    

9-11 October 2020

What a Dam good place to have our Social weekend where 37 Hashers had a ball! Great weather, great location, great company.

Few photos from along the way, not in any particular order!

Thank you to all committee for organising and others that helped along the way to make it such a successful weekend. Long live HHH!  

 

    

 

  

Run Date: 5th October 2020
Run No #2082
Hare: Paw Paw/Screw
Venue: Jaycee Park Bedford Road Andergrove
Hashers: 25

 

We arrived to find a good number of Hashers already at the park. Maybe because since Paw Paw has to be in bed by 8pm for a 4am rising. 

We followed Prick around the round about but no Tounger he was recovering after a weekend in the bush. Parking was limited but we all soon found a spot. Wheelie and Top Knott brought a couple of virgin runners Lisa and Mario.

Screw was called upon to announce the run and he was going to be the live Hare for the night. We headed down Bedford road a couple of blocks to cross over before the lights and down to the walk way to Domino Crescent/ Woodlands Park which we followed around past McFannys and Paw Paws wee hooses. JCF was late in starting but ran past the Hare which was down down material. All dwindled back and Paw Paw was pulling out chips and dips and some lovely looking cup cakes for desert. A special cream cake we found out in the circle was for Paw Paws birthday. Tarzan called the circle and jokes and stories were told. Paw Paw and Screw took their charges for the run and a welcome drink for the virgin runners. Flaps was rewarded for his 600^th run with an embroidered hat and McFanny with a 200^th run embroidered towel. Our song was sung and two pots of a sausage and vegetable  curry was quickly devoured followed by the cup cakes and cake. One cup cake wasn’t enough for Prick he had two. They were very tasty with the chocolate dollop on top. Tummies full we headed home by 830pm.

Hare: Teflon
Venue: 2 Geoffrey Thomas Drive Bucasia
Hashers: 20

20 intrepid hashers gathered at Teflon’s abode in deepest Bucasia, including Fil-de-Jour, showing off new baby Noah, who decided to ignore said hashers and sleep through the preliminaries.
Gathering at the front, Teflon handed out envelopes with instructions on how to find the non-trail. And off we went, accompanied by 3 dogs, who immediately stirred up the other 300 dogs in the vicinity. At the first checkpoint, envelope #2 was opened, with a vast array of non-information about where to go next. At this point Flaps, Tonguer and myself decided it would be prudent to turn around, and look after the beer. Which we did.  Eventually, the gang returned, slightly breathless, and flopped about in various chairs.
Nibblies appeared, bikkies n dip, and a bowl of green stuff that looked ridiculously too healthy for the mob….. Cash collected, it was time to call the circle. But…. The Monk was missing. As was the stand-in Golly. Double stand-in Zorro was called into action, whilst returning Monkee Mango busily filled cups with left-over piss-stop stuff. A down-down for the hare followed, along with a down-down for hash triplets Raggedy, Piccolo and McFanny in the same shirts.

  

 

Virgin runner Marilyn was called forward to reveal her life story in 3 seconds. And some jokes were told courtesy Flaps, Tonguer, Zorro, along with another Flavio/Gionvanni appearance. Tonguer also got a free drink, can’t remember why, also Delicious for taking over from Zorro. A few announcements were made about nothing, then Delicious coaxed Marilyn into drawing the seafood raffle, which was very unfairly won by Flaps. A rendition of the club song ended proceedings, and Teflon disappeared into the kitchen to return with steaming pots of thick pea n ham soup with fresh bread. Very tasty!
General banter carried on until Hash-Piss called last drinks, and the troops started to wander off into the night.

All-in-all another great night.

See you next week at The White House On The Hill.

Pensioner.

Hare: Delicious (with a little help from Distillery) 
Venue: 117 Tropical Ave Andergrove
Hashers: 21

 

As we pulled up at 117 Tropical Ave and made our way through the side gate, some of us questioned were we at the right house! Hard to recognize the place as Distillery had done a ‘little’ pruning!

Plonking ourselves down on the back area where we set our chairs up for an evening of Hash… Never knowing quite what the evening will bring. Just to break the ice for the Virgin Runners and welcome them into the ‘World of Hash’, JCF arrived with the ‘Prick of the Week’ strung around his waist displayed in all its glory with its RAAG safety bands securely attached. RAAG Road Accident Action Group – that ‘Prick’ was looking for a bit of action and was poking it here there and everywhere. Raggedy copped it in the face until she stood up to it!

No horn sounded as there was no horn but Delicious was able to give instructions out the front. A 35-minute walk AND a piss stop, what more could us aging, complaining baby boomers want. Heading right we meandered off into the evening catching up on the week’s events with one another & disturbing the dogs in the neighbourhood. Piss Stop at a park ‘yummy whatever’ that Delicious so ‘Covid friendly’ scooped out for us. Off meandering (we couldn’t even call it walking really) again. Some made it back through the front door and some through the back gate. I think the back gate was the correct one! That’s the way that Wheelie came through so it must have been right.

Circle called, charges laid, jokes by JCF, Pensch with his famous Italian accent joke and Flaps who was looking for Jesus. The 2 new virgin runners Suz & Phill hadn’t disappeared so we welcomed them with a down down. (Suz is Distillery’s sister) 

Potatoes first up to hit the spot after such an arduous walk! Hot dogs (without skin) as Delicious cannot do the red bits …served with salads. Who doesn’t love a Hot Dog? On a Monday night?

To top the night off the odd couple excitedly made their appearance, Dusty Girl and Roy Boy after being in confinement for the evening! Pats all round as they hoovered up any crumbs on the patio. 

Another night of Hash Fun…nothing quite like it! 

 

On On to Teflon’s next week.

 

Run Date: 7th September 2020
Run No #2079
Hare: McFanny
Venue: Wee hoose, 13 Grasstrail Street, Andergrove
Hashers: 20

20 enthusiastic hashers were tested to the extreme just to find a car park anywhere near the
Wee Hoose owned by McFanny. Most had already completed a mini marathon prior to setting
off on the arduous trail. Except perhaps for Paw Paw and Fork, who only made it across the road
for a beer or two, with Flaps making it around the block. From all accounts, no-one owned up to
completing the entire run, and resulted in the rendition of “S. H. I. T. T. Y. TRAIL”…….

Home-made potato wedges with cheese, bacon and onion dip was produced for Nibbles and a
welcoming fire was lit on everyone’s return. Acting Hash Cash collected the money, because
Pensioner was laying down with Mango somewhere and could not make it!!! Then she was
thanked for her efforts by McTavish (wee dog from wee hoose) in his own way for assuming an
intruder, the bleeding only lasted a while.

Circle was called by our honourable Monk Tarzan, who wanted to know what everyone was doing
in 1979, well not many Hashers can remember what they did last week, never mind last century…
He mumbled something about Smashing Pumpkins, then seemed to lose his train of thought.
McFanny refused to skull her very nice Sav Blanc’ as the Hare, even though it was reduced from
$20.00 to $10.00 a bottle. But then came up with a Pin for Hash Whip that said So,
Tar Boy revelled in the fact he could sing his favourite song again this week “Here’s to Sister Delicious”.
Knicker was charged for someone being lost, Knot head who arrived on a strange object called a
one wheel Hoverboard (I won’t be asking for a lift home) was charged for smoking in the circle,
and wearing a man bun, that was not as impressive as Top Knot’s. Then he had to tell a Dad Joke
about having to shoot a cat 8 times (The circle groaned). Flaps had a story, about a closed casket
for Donald Trump, Zorro was dry – not a single joke and Golly was charged by Raggedy Anne for
letting of wind. Mackay Hash Song was sung without the usual disruption (you know who you
are) and Streaker commented how nice for a change, then circle closed.

Then the pièce de résistance of hash meals continued, with the serving of Chicken, Bacon and
Sweet Corn Chowder with Garlic Bread, followed by Bread & Butter Pudding with walnuts and
cinnamon, accompanied with home-made custard and cream. It must have been good, as
Baagoose was on his way out when he realised there was desert and did an about face, and then
fronted up for two helpings. Wheelie Bin was also chowing down on the food, he was very
impatient waiting for it to cool down, keeping Top Knot busy with the spoon.
I hope you all enjoyed the marvellous McFanny feast, as next week I reckon you will be back to
standard Hash Nash, I cannot compete with that mastery of cooking.
Best to bring an umbrella, as you all know what usually happens at my runs.

Please also bring some extra cash next week for tickets in the $50.00 Seafood Voucher from
Debbie’s Seafood, $2 a ticket of 3 for $5, all money raised goes back to the club.

Hare: Smut
Venue: Muller Park Ooralea
Hashers: 23

A bright orange sunset behind the chimney smoke of the mill and the silver moon coming up behind us as we headed to Muller Park along Archibald street. We all gathered by 6pm and we were off on time. 69 Degrees would be proud of us.

Smut said it was set on lime and chalk but no piss stop. Its hard to get all of us to do the full trail set. Hitting the Peak Downs highway Pensioner turned back his knee was telling him so I tried to catch up to Screw who was leading the pack. Turning into Marlborough Avenue Plan lands the arrows pointed across the road with a slight bend in them which confused the front runners. It could go either way I thought. Catching Screw up he said he  couldn’t find any more marks, so I checked back to find Daffodil and Golly checking and Piccolo and Raggedy Anne at the arrows. Bargoose found the marks heading towards the Uni so we followed on to Boundary Road. The trail went right but only I followed. I kept checking for torch lights to follow me but no they headed home. I was on my pat ma lone.

Following the footpath skirting the Uni I seen others following the foot path into one of the Uni buildings no not Hashers. Feeling a little lonely I kept going following the clearly marked trail through the streets footpaths back to Woolies and home. Everyone back except me. Peanuts, Dips and Jatz biscuits to go with your beer or cider while Smut stirred and tasted his sausage stew to see if it was hot enough and not burning on his butane stove.  He was organised with many spare cartridges. All were catching up as Streaker was updating the run list. Tarzan called the circle and Smut was charged for his run and then called for jokes, charges or stories or limericks. Zorro told his joke which was directed at female problems and males missing out. Delicious got through her joke about a horse and a chicken. The punch line was you didn’t need a BMW to pull the chicks. Tonguer told an oldie and then Screw, Tarzan and F?king like water recited a few limericks. Delicious got a down down for putting coin into the bin instead of bottle tops. Streaker dobbed Half a Boat in for going to the wrong park but got to the start on time so both took a down down. Hash song sung Streaker tried to charge Pensioner to get singing lessons. Hash nosh was a Sausage and rice stew with heaps of veggies and fresh bread and butter. Very tastie. Thank You Smut. Another good night had by all.
