The dirty Religious Advisor – Klingon, was back to his old tricks again. Since the new committee has formed in June, Klingon has been most remiss in his duties by ensuring that Lakeside have had rain for 5 out of 6 runs. For this blatant dereliction of his sacred duty, Klingon was charged at the end of the night for being a very naughty RA.
The Fox Hotel is a lovely boutique pub in the suburb of Collingwood. Flem had secured us the cosy back room which was perfectly sized for Lakeside with a log burning stove in the corner to provide some relief from the Melbourne winter. Big Bang ordered me a Kangaroo Steak Sandwich and she ordered a Ratatouille Risotto which sadly never appeared. Thankfully we had some excellent Erdinger German Beer washed down with a Gluhwein chaser to warm the coldest cockles.
The run started around ten to seven and the runners got back around ten to eight. We started by crossing Alexandra Pde and the run basically ran in a anti clockwise direction through Fitzroy passing Darling and Edinburgh Gardens in our valiant quest for The Holy Grail. Sadly, we were not successful with our bid and returned to the Fox Hotel empty handed but our spirits buoyant knowing that we would live to fight hash another day.
Back in Collingwood we settled down for a hearty meal and partook of the refreshments that this fine establishment had on offer.
The circle was formed and charges of the guilty bastards were formalised.
? The hare – Flem was charged for a run that essentially kept the pack together. The run report was given by E&B and she rated it 16.5 out of 20. ? We had visitors / new members joining us of Metatarsole and Slipher A Bundy that have just moved down to Melbourne from sunny Queensland I believe? Anyway, on behalf of the Lakeside Hash House Harriers Committee and the Grand Mistress – Big Bang, we welcome you both to our magnificent hash, we hope that you come to enjoy our runs, drink our beers, and PAY YOUR SUBS! ? Returnees – CodPiece, Deep Throat, Mothball were all charged. ? Palindromic Runs – GG 878 runs, Point Post 707 runs, and E&B 404 runs. ? Election Charge – Klingon for moving one step closer to the Senate. Did you vote for John Lesley Perkins for your senate nomination? Possibly not as you might have been looking for Klingon on the ticket. ? Metatarsole was charged for working in the railways. As per our previous railway hasher for Lakeside, we used to also have Shunt so maybe we could nickname him Another Shunt. Just a thought? Anyway Metatarsole was also later charged for dancing in the down down song. Me thinks that he and Slipher A Bundy are going to fit right in with Lakeside. ? Mothball for coming back from Trinidad. We tried to charge him with rum. ? Flem and Big Bang for talking about physics on the hash. ? Whack! would also have been charged for his footy tipping prowess but in the end we charged the Whack! lookalike of Astro. ? Colours and Chrome Dome for keeping a low profile. ? GG for being a pain and Point Post for something that escapes me.
You may note of late that I have been taking more photos of everyone. After the recent tragic loss of Chiko I have realised that you can never get enough photos of dirty Lakesiders………..
