LAKESIDE HASH HOUSE HARRIERS HASH TRASH
Run 915: February 6, 2002 Blackburn Hotel, Blackburn
Hare: Tangles
As we were getting our way through the steak tartares and gourmet salads during dinner, Shunt said quietly to me, “Mind how you go here; Tangles reckons this pubs a real bloodhouse. Look at that bloke over there for instance – friend of the Chopper.” Without moving a muscle I slid my eyes over the polished floorboards, and the corporate lunchers quaffing their 1998 St. Huberts unwooded Semillon Chardonnay, at the bloke in overalls and boots standing at the bar, who was peering sadly at the variety of boutique and foreign ales. “Shunt I hissed, “I think hes the electrician. Theres still no law against tradesmen coming in here.” We think Shunt was having a go at Tangles, cos the Blackburns sure come a long way from the likes of the McKinnon Hotel. Tangles himself set a nice woody, not unwooded, trail, round and round Blackburn Lake. Though a few are wearying of long, weekly treks into the Eastern suburbs, Gerbils commended Tangles for at least setting a lakeside run. I thought Tangles had taken off a lot of weight, till I realised hed had a haircut, but all the same, he was carrying around a monstrous, ugly growth recently extracted from his nether regions.
In every pub theres one drunk walking around glad-handing and nosing his way into everybodys business. We had one of them on the night, and he seemed to rub off on us, cos, E & B ended up leading us on a kind of wandering circle, round and round the pub, in an effort to escape the dreaded Cone of Silence where charges are still echoing off the walls from Run 898. This could catch on; matter of fact we could even wander the circle outside and onto the trail. E & B wasnt actually running on the night, but instead turned up in very flash evening gear. So without anything else to do, Bovine Breeder noticed that shed eaten her way through the raffle, after getting the cash and before delivering the prize.
Anyway, a very German-sounding Virgin called Remover appeared, claiming to be from China, plus Lean, Cheap & Easy, and to top it all off, we had the Return of Skiddy. Skiddy is in the pink, and according to Tangles, has filled out nicely in the mammarial department. Skiddy skated around what shes doing for a crust up in Darwin, but after much umm-and-aahing, Like-a-Virgin just came straight out with it and announced “Sexual favours”, with a straight face. Skiddy was of course charged, by Deep Throat, for coming back, after we took so long to get rid of her. As ever, D.T. was in high spirits and drinking her way through a bottle of Chateau Legopener 69. Apparently Like-a-Virgin and Deep Throat have been at it again, as Udder had the drum on the recent naughty holidays theyve been on.
Quasimodo charged Cooch for French running (along with the cricket, kissing, sex etc ). Lethal charged Shunt for being the Enron of Australian Rail; his persistent go-slow driving, and continual vacations with 90% leave-loading having brought Connex to the brink of collapse. The Boomerang caught out Lethal paying for his dinner with his seniors card if that isnt bad enough for the image, it was his Dads! Regrettably I have actually been talking about the run and the circle this week, and being out of practice, Ive had more than the usual difficulty reading my notes. Sorry, Lethal, but the last ones lost me completely.
