La Marseillaiese – French National Anthem Arise children of the fatherland The day of glory has arrived Against us tyranny’s Bloody standard is raised Listen to the sound in the fields The howling of these fearsome soldiers They are coming into our midst To cut the throats of your sons and consorts To arms citizens Form your battalions March, march Let impure blood Water our furrows How does one celebrate Bastille Day? Do we go down to the creek and hunt for frogs and snails? Do we go to a French Restaurant and order a Pastis? Do we eat a croissant, followed by a baguette and cheese, drowned by a good Pouilly Fuisse? No. we go to the home of gypsy jazz music named after Beau Django….. yes we went to Django Django Restaurant.
It is perhaps ironic that the French celebrate Bastille day, by singing the song of La Marseillaise that was inspired and reflects the invasion of France by Prussian and Austrian Armies, and yet our very own Grand Mistress is French German. So who liberates who?
It had been raining all day and even though Big Bang valiantly set the run that afternoon, by the time that we all gathered at the restaurant most of the trail would have been eradicated. Arriving at the eleventh hour from stage left appeared behind a puff of smoke the dazzling visions of the two saviours – Cooch and Sh#t Off A Shovel (SOAS). These two super heroes realising that they needed some more spice in their lives decided that a Live Run was the order of the day and they would be the ones to provide that spectacle.
The pack allowed the deadly duo a good head start of nearly 20 minutes. We ran through the back streets of Fitzroy passing over the carrion and carcasses of Dutch Soccer Fans. Spanish Flags flew proudly over this quarter. We continued into the back streets of Carlton where a decided absence of chalk finally resulted with the Pack or the Lakeside Peloton deciding at the Physics Faculty to abandon the run and seek more drier and warmer confines known as Django Django. It is notable that the entire pack including the walkers, all arrived back before the hares did.
The feast was a Beef Bourguignon with Puree Pomme de Terre with slices of crisp pain. This was washed down with the complimentary and obligitary red wine. Desert was a choice of Chocolate Pate, Apple Crumble, Pancakes and a special blend of Ethiopian Coffee that is to die for.
The circle charged the hares and the run was rated with 8.5 out of 10. XRated, Deep Throat and a number of walkers were charged for shortcutting the run and getting back way too early. We had brand new Virgins of Uli and Nadia come along. Welcome to you both and hopefully you may come along again in the future. Klingon – sans Chiko, was charged for being sans Chiko. Klingon was also charged for doing a terrible job as Religious Advisor by ensuring that the Gods sought vengeance on his non-believing atheist soul. E&B was in fine form regaling us with inspiring verses of the wittiest hash ditties and songs. Tripod was excellent as Sergeant and correctly explained that when the weather was good, that this was the result of his doing. And that when the weather was inclement, ie. Like last night, that this was the fault of that heathen Klingon. Bovine charged SOAS, Crack Up and the Udder look alike – Tricky Dicky for being the only ones to have completed all of SOAS torturous runs and presented the tshirt for the only 3 hashers to have accomplished this feat. All the Collingwood supporters were charged including myself, Big Bang, Flem, It Wasn’t Me, Nor Me, GG and Prince. Is it just me but there really aren’t enough Collingwood supporters in the world?
Next weeks run is the Peninsula Ladies H3 AGM on Thursday 22 July at 1900 hours.
