Run No #2054
Hare: Half a Boat
Venue: 12 David Muir Street Slade Point.
Hashers: 15
A grand total of 15 brave souls rocked up to Half-a-Boat’s new shed in David Muir St Slade Point. Amazingly, Halfa had managed to clear some of the shit cluttering the floor by pushing it all backwards into a neat pile of shit. And Chopstix was busy creating stuff in her Annie’s Kitchen Van, so we knew something tasty was coming later. After half an hour of chit-chat, Half-a-Boat called us to attention and led us to the front gate, muttering something about pink tape/paint and sent us off….. 2 supposed runners took an immediate short cut and headed back to the beer. The rest of us followed the trail, which led us into The Melaleuca Forest/Swamp …. the boardwalk in there led us past actual swamp, until the pink arrow directed us off the path into….. The Swamp! Around about now 17,897,654 mozzies decided to feast upon us, so, amid cries of “fuck Half-a-Boat” we turned back and ran for home. Upon return to the shed we found nibblies of bikkies n dip n beer. Then the Monkee, who had actually turned up, cried out to form a circle. In the absence of The Monk, I took the reins, and doled out down downs for Halfa (shitty trail), Chuck (sometimes runner, ex Moranbah H3) and newbies Brian and Lei, both of whom told us life stories in 3 seconds. Zorro told a couple of jokes, lifted straight from Facebook, and then I opened a bag of goodies, and presented Tounger with a shirt to commemorate 1400 runs, and Mango with a towel to commemorate 200 runs (she has a bunch more runs, but the records got lost many moons ago.) Around about now the rain tumbled down, so the circle moved inside. Bullshit over and song sung, we fell upon a Chinese feast of rice, curried chook, beef, vegs, mushrooms, other stuff, can’t remember the names but it sure tasted good! More beers, and then the mob slowly trickled off home.
Now, I now it’s Xmas time of year, but over the last few weeks, numbers have been well down, which means the Hash bank a/c is slowly draining. So, c’mon you slackers, get up from in front of the TV/computer/playstation/kids/grandies/dogs, and head out on a Monday night…..
