LAKESIDE HASH HOUSE HARRIERS HASH TRASH
Run 918: 20 February 2002 Gasworks Park, South Melbourne
Hare: Whippet, with a little help from his friends
A literary masterpiece, the likes of which we have become accustomed from Mummies Boy, is something that, up with which, this scribe will not come. So instead, suffice it to say that on this occasion, the heavens did truly open, and the sins of the hare were fairly washed away. So much so, that he was called upon to set the said trail again, delaying the departure of the eager harriers well past their appointed departure time. The gathered group were meanwhile well energized for their ordeal by the provision of snakes and jellybeans and the delay also allowed the GM to accept the timely delivery of her running shoes for the event.
When the pack departed it was in different directions, some going after the hare, some to the pub and some to a Thai restaurant instead. The runners themselves later split into several packs some of who came across the hare at the pub whereupon they took directions as to the trail. The rest of the pack decided, having lost their horn, they would head for the beach as that would be an obvious place to pick up trail. After some distance this group, finding no trail, headed inland again, whereupon they encountered the remaining group. This led to a further change in the pack as some decided to cut an obvious loop from the trail and go home. Hearing that the grogmaster was stilling the pub a new pack was formed, having regained its horn and proceeded to follow the trail which did indeed go to the beach and a beautiful sunset it was over the ships docked at the pier of the bay. The pack and pack dog finally returned to find the remnants already tucking into their food at the BBQ.
Could is be that Stuckons gourmet Vietnamese pork roll cuisine at a recent run has set a trend for spicy food at the hash? Here we had a Thai Feast, courtesy of Bovine Breeder the likes of which have never been seen at a hash run at Gasworks Park. The lavish provision of Thai chicken curry, veg. curry and rice, not to mention the red and green accompaniments could still be feeding the pack to this very day.
When the circle began, the run was scored 5/64, the drink stop 9/10 and the food 11/10. In a reversal of normal procedure announcements were made at the start, some of which may appear below, and the following were duly charged. Visitors & departees: Skiddy, IBM, Swallower, TDTD. Bovine Breeder for the food. RA for the rain. Skiddy for Darwin weather, Bovine Breeder for providing a useless tarpaulin. Father for being the top collector of money at the Red Dress Run. Gerbils by Quasimodo for abandonment, Quasimodo by Bovine Breeder for going home early, Udder for his costume, Bovine Breeder for not realizing Quasimodos was an invitation. Klingon for not taking any notes at all to write this rubbish.
On a topical note, GG was confronted with documentary evidence by IBM of his child sex abuse. Typically, he did not seek to squirm, obfuscate, cast aspersions or otherwise deny the charge but merely complained that it had taken someone so long to find out. The red attired GG, Deep Throat and Whippet were charged for it not being the Red Dress run. Lizard was incomunicado on zoo downpour night, The GM wore a cardigan on Cardigan street. Swallower charged IBM for taking her to a restaurant at the same time as a restaurant came to the hash. Skiddy was a presented a tankard from under Deep Throats bed. Boomerang charged that Kadadu had turned up the last two weeks at the same time as Skiddy and that this was consistent with his past female chasing. Both Kakadu and Skiddy were too nauseated by this thought to drink their charges but they did anyway. Father and Miss Piggy were charged for using E&B as telephone relay. Barterbitch was charged with being too smart in realizing the at 2 minutes past eight it was 20:02 20-02-2002 which doesnt happen often. Finally Gerbils charged Whippet for causing all the trouble in having to set the run twice by allowing it to rain. As this scribe left the scene the pack was still picking over left over food like vultures at a carcass, using any available container to deposit their booty. Others were retiring to the pub to celebrate Skiddys departure.
