24 Hashers with 3 runners Park to Park to Park Run

 

Out front McFanny called and we all gathered to follow the arrows or lime trail. Across Bedford road to the park pathway and down Fernleigh avenue, right into Maple Drive. I could see Who hasn’t Paid and Hottie disappearing into the distance. Plenty of arrows and a double arrow when it changed direction. Past the shop and right again into Karwin Drive veering left into the park before new houses. Left into Tropical Avenue and down to the next park turn right into the drain. I went left checking but no marks on back I went down the drain to Fleurs Way past the neighbourhood centre and crossed over to beside the new Woodlands estate where a mulch fire was smoking. The trail lead back to the Woodlands reserve pathway and on home. Daffodil and JCF reconned they were the only ones to do the whole trail but I didn’t check with Hottie and Who hasn’t paid if they

went into the reserve on the way home for I didn’t. I thought the marks were just under the parked cars until I found one at Paper Bark Way.

Nuts and dip were almost empty for we started on them before the run. Mactavish the foxy was ready to heel up the Harriers who teased him. There was talk on costumes for the big run. Suggestions from Delicious to Drip Tray who she could go as. Ma Kettle I think was suggested.

GM’s from Rocky and Townsville Delicious said were coming to the Mackay Run.

 

Circle called and we sang our Hash song first instead of at the end of the circle. That was different.

Laughter could be heard all over the neighbourhood I expect from the Jokes, Charges and True stories. Laughter is so good for the soul. Delicious, Cummalot and Radish reported on Rocky’s

2000^th Run. Snot got a down down for the worst billy cart driver. Viagra got a down down reward for getting a job as a fireman after Cummalots joke on 1,2,3 bells. Streaker took her down down for what I can’t remember but Hottie said I can’t get you out of this one. Hooker took her down down too for having her car sign on up side down. Did Snot do this he was parked behind her?

Announcements made McFanny brought out her hot potato wedges with dips of cream chilli and hot and spicy followed by meat balls in sauce and macaroni cheese.

 

Thanks McFanny Great Effort you did it all.

 

Cheers Corgi & Daffodil

Hares: Golly & Raggedy Ann
Venue: 4 Trochus Court Shoal Point
Hashers: 28

A group of usual suspects made the long and winding journey out to Shoal Point for Raggedy Ann’s run (aided and abetted by Golly).

On arrival we were greeted with a fancy new house front – well man shed front really, Golly has been splashing out his cash from his meagre (so he says!) pension pot on a large concrete area and fancy overhead shade, very flash indeed.

Without further ado, the pack, already tightly coiled springs burst into inertia and soon scattered to fuck knows where in the Shoal Point area. I’m sure Golly set a run but whether it was followed is another question…………….

All I can tell you is that it was well marked and was uphill on sand followed by a downhill section on sand. Golly did manage to put on scenery that was worthy of comment. There was the sunset view from the beach just disappearing and when you looked round the large moon was pretty spectacular, ahh old McFanny is getting sentimental. However, as this was an alternate route from the main run so you may not have seen this but if you were a short cutting bastard then you would have so tough if ya missed it!

When everyone did meander back, Raggedy Ann was at the ready with very hot mini pies.  Then an ensued lot of the usual banter and crap following this, the circle was formed. 2 young virgin runners aka grandkids of Raggedy and Golly (funny they are quite tall) who are now old enough to listen to old men tell rude jokes and swear a lot were given a welcome down down.  Brian, an old timer brought by Hooker has been a hasher in the past was guilty of many misdemeanours, hat and sunglasses in the circle as well as taking calls, plenty of down downs for him. Rats Arse showed up and joined in as a returning runner.

There were so many awful jokes that many of the hashers were heard to say, “Is Knothead here?” and then as usual it disintegrated into the usual schmozzle that is Mackay Hash. Club song was sang with the usual gusto and then we got eat a bbq delight cooked by Golly which consisted of eggs made fancy with capsicum rings around them, steak, sausages and salad.

Hooker won the wine for the raffle which a few promptly opened and drank – you can always rely on a hasher for this. Delicious won the whisky so drinks are on her.

All then buggered off home when the beer had dwindled to nearly nothing.

On On McFanny

Run No #1820
Hare: Nicka Licka
Venue: Seaview Park Bucasia Esplanade Bucasia
Hashers: 18

 

A smaller turn-up than usual, but 18 intrepid hashers made it to Beautiful Bucasia Beach.
A torrential downpour in the late afternoon had 2 remarkable results:
1. Blurry on his motorcycle discovered than rain is wet.
2. Knicker’s chalk trail was not waterproof, and merrily slid down the gutter.
Nevertheless, Knicker called us to attention and explained where the chalk marks used to be, and sent us on our way. We were almost immediately accosted by a very irate Plover protecting 3 tiny chicks, but on we marched into the gloomy backblocks of Bucasia. Amid lots of horn blowing and searching for washed away checks, the mob moved cautiously forward, but a wrong turn by Blurry, Snot and myself saw us off-trail and, remarkably, back at the beer a little earlier than expected.
A short time later the rest of the crew wandered in, and began slurping beer and talking rubbish, followed by Knicker’s chicken soup and more beer…… a fine combination.
Then, amazingly, the entire mob rose to their feet, turned towards yours truely The Monk, and fell into silence. A few minutes passed, I looked at Golly, Golly looked at me, and then said, very quietly, “Form a circle”. And bugger me, there they were, circle formed, ready to go!

So, a down down for the hare, served up in Tun Mid, which according to the can, is brewed in USA, canned in China, imported by some fool in Melb, and basically tastes like shit.
Blurry, when asked to explain his recent birthday, broke into the old Beatles classic “When I’m 64.” A down down was earned by that rendition. The GM Zorro charged Tamara with bringing too much class to Hash by drinking from a wine glass. The charged was quickly reversed, as Tamara has more class than Zorro’s ever likely to have. Knothead told 2 appalling jokes, both of which earned him a date with the aforementioned Tun Mid. Zorro also added some jokes, as did The Monk, having to remove Hotrock’s name and reverting to the original Paddy, since Hotty was apparently too hung over from the weekend to turn up.

Mango was awarded a Mackay Hash cap for 50 runs. And a tasty Tun to go with it.

The song was sung, and the circle closed.
Knicker Licker then produced a gastronomical delight…. let’s see….. there was chicken curry, fried rice, a tasty potato dish, and plenty of it….. unlike next week, when you’ll get a sausage on bread!

More talking of shit, and the troops started to move off, and by 8.30 it was all over red rover.

Well done Knicker, another fine night.

OnOn Pensioner.

Run No #1819
Hare: Popeye
Venue: 7 Mezin Road Habana
Hashers: 18

 

Not the same level of excitement as last week , turning up at a crime scene, but different just the same.  Preparation for the run was a little different because this week we had to take a cut lunch and water bag  just to get there.  Needless to say this produced the usual reaction from the” dark side”  with only the intrepid Corgi and Daffodil  turning up AGAIN ” Well done you two! “

The TRUE hashers assembled at the spacious abode of Popeye to be greeted   by Cummalot salivating and having hot flushes over the very large testicular shape paw paws on his trees. It must have made quite an impression  because once the run started she was off like a flash, torch wavering frantically around checking out the rump steaks grazing peacefully in their fields.

The run was  a complete departure from previous Habana  runs  “no bloody heart break hill” well done that man.  Lots of brownie points for that.  For those who  were not very familiar with cane fields, well you are now. I think we saw every variety.  It was a stimulating run especially walking back along the bitumen raceway track to home.

We all made it, with Tamara doing a sterling  job escorting  Flaps safely home to some welcome soothing refreshments before the circle started.

Pensioner was back and eventually managed to get the circle formed away from the fire. The circle has recently developed into a delightfully evil event. THIS WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER. The hare was called up for three well  earned charges, the last by Tamara who pointed out that there was no sweeper  to ensure that almost virgin runners  like herself, were not left  abandoned in the banjo playing  hills of Habana.  Next was “fucked” followed by “hooker”  :-  is there a pattern here?,  then zorro and golly.

Now to explain the evil.  All down downs were in TUN  BEER universally condemned as tasting like shit.   Hehe  Good One  Hehe

Song sung , circle closed.

Nosh was served with a popular pumpkin soup followed by curry and not gluggy rice and was enjoyed by all .  A relaxing sit around the fire with more refreshments and jokes  all departed to their various showers and beds to finish off a good night.

Good run  Good food  Good night

Hare: Tarzan
Venue: John Breen Park
Hashers: 25 

 

Turning up at John Breen park found us all in amongst a police crime scene from a stabbing/bashing in the park the night before, with forensic inspectors doing their bit in and around the public toilets.

Anyway, we all headed off on the run, which was fairly good, with some muddy creek crossings to make the run more interesting, and a short piss stop at Tarboy’s place, before heading back to the park finish.

After suffering a few after- run beverages, it was decided to move the venue away for under the scruteny of Mr Plod, and we moved down the Goose Ponds to the spot near the bowlo, which worked out well, except for the lack of a loo.

The circle was called, with the lack of our elustrious monk in presence, but our monkee handled the job ok with help from Golly , and the hash tucker of American style hotdogs was enjoyed by all.

We were joined on the run by Scarey Eyeball, passing through on her way down south, and Dragonlady was offered a down-down for returning after her brief absence.

The meeting broke up and we are all looking forward to next weeks run out at Popeye’s place at Habana, see you all there,

Hooroo and On On from Viagra

Hare: Teflon
Venue:  37 Mango Ave Eimeo
Hashers: 24

 

I think about 25 hashers turned up for Teflons amble through the streets and hills of beautiful Eimeo. At least there were no trains this time!!!!!!! A few managed to stagger around the full course but most short cutted in one way or another. Tarzan & Golly lobbed in exactly 1 hour after departure to complete this fine run/walk.

The circle was duly called & down downs were given to Teflon[hare] & Teflon & Mc Fanny as birthday girls. Both very significant milestones in their hashing lives.{cheers]. Only a couple of lame charges were handed out in some strange American brew called Tun. Jokes were very scarce as Pensioner was the only one to step forward.

A Christening was also sanctioned by the Monk donned in full ceremonial robes. Monica was installed as Wonderbra somehow entangled in her German heritage & sounding some what like something else. Figure it out????????

 

 

 

 

Then the nosh was ready & so were the hordes. Not to be disappointed Teflon & Mcfanny dished up quite a feast of Indian delicacies, rice nibblies enough to excite the keenest hasher. More grog then an excellent strawberry sponge cake for the birthday girls was produced & ravenously demolished. In all a good night was had by all.

ON ON !!!!! Tarzan

Hare: Prick
Venue:  BBQ area on Gooseponds back of the North Mackay Bowls Club
Hashers: 26

It was a clear afternoon as the bunch of finely tuned athletes gathered on the fore shores of the goose ponds. At approximately 6.10 Tounger arrived along with Corgi and Daffodil so it was time to get a start to this marathon of mud, sweat and beers. (1 out of 3 isn’t bad).

The much beloved hare mumbled something about chalk toilet paper and flour and as is always the case 98% could not give a shit “I just follow the bum of the one in front and daydream along” wondering how far I have to torture this clapped out body of mine before I get into the beer.

It a breathtaking pace off we went east then over the Glenpark bridge then up the hill past the Anglican church it was at this point the writer saw Cummalot disappearing over the rail overpass. Actually that was the last anyone saw of Cummalot for a considerable time she was lost in the long grass for a considerable time, I guess we will have to accept her word for this as no one can co-oberate this version of the facts, I never noticed any grass on the aforesaid alleged lost runner.

NOW, this is where the heresay comes in as many people who weren’t hashers found a hole in a fence and entered what may have been private property which it is alleged that a fine up to $3000 could be imposed. So in order to protect the innocent, a person who was not who hasn’t paid said “ a train” which for the purpose of this exercise will be called the 6.24 was observed. Other reports were tendered for us to consider that it was the 6.35 but as this is only hearsay one will never know. Trains apparently don’t slow down for corners; wind coming off trains is very strong. The pack can move very quickly when frightened. Never the less Hashers miraculously appeared in Norris Road. For those who didn’t follow the trail it went up heartbrake hill where an on home was encountered.

An alternative route was led by the incredible Flaps around the GoosePonds

TTTwo Ssstroke noticed a neighbour burning off so went home to close the house and returned not on the foot Falcon but in the Ford Falcon

Smega (returning Runner) led yet another pack in the direction of the North Mackay Bowling Club bar.

We all eventually gathered at the BBQ shelter to a sumptuous feast of Nibbles, Potatoes and Corned Beef on Very fresh buns.

The circle was called by the RA, Pensioner, Prick had an extended binge drinking session, Tounger learnt it’s not smart to stand behind a drinking Price. Then started the Birthday Down Downs

• Tounger for becoming a pensioner
• Glove Box for giving the big 50 a fright
• Tarzan, apparently we have no record of his age but he was mentioned in the dead sea scrolls and rumours are that he has a birth certificate on a parchment scroll

Snot for not dressing a new runner, Next week I will attend to this matter personally.

Jokes from Pensioner, Hotrocks, Golly and here is the one Viagra couldn’t remember

Chinese have just unveiled a new state of the art Zoo in Beijing. It covers many acres, has thousands of animals but only dogs, there is every breed of dog known to mankind……..Apparently it is a shitzoo.

We welcomed 2 new runners, Tamara who told us her life history and Michelle whose autobiography went on and on, way too much information. Interestingly tho when you first join hash you don’t have a live therefore any history…. Just watch what you do from now on cause we are watching and what happens beats you to the next run and you may become an alcoholic. We sang the song, closed the circle Tidied up, drank froze our tits off and then I got tired and went home to mummy.

On On

Run started at 6pm was a lovely evening, with a full moon. The trail was well marked in white chalk. Runners and walkers had a good marked trail, we went over the only hill in

Andergrove with a view of Eimeo and Bucasia. The run went for about an hour.

In the circle there were a few down downs: Mango: for phoning Pensioner in the circle last week. Flaps: going over the other side of the bridge a few weeks ago. Oui Oui: for wearing a hat in the circle. Knot Head: for his bad joke in the circle.

Our visitor tonight was Scarey eyeballs from Tasmania hash.

Pensioner told a great joke in the circle enjoyed by everyone.

Great night enjoyed by everyone.
