Hares: Gerbils and Whippets Christmas Eve run
Yarra Bank near Jeff’s shed
Hello there me hearties there we were, hash pirates down near the Pollywoodside waiting for some adventure
Shock, horror contrary to all predications there were more than 20 hashers giving up their Christmas eves and adams to gather at Jeffs Shed for some happy festive hashing. With Weed and Mole from Cairns, Big Boy and Soft Centre from Canberra and John and Penny from Sydney to boost our numbers, the pack set off, wending the way south west across the Yarra over the new pedestrian bridge near the Docklands, around the footie stadium, through the city and back.
Well, thats where I thought we went but according to Nephertits there was too much ice and not enough hills or nookie spots in the city to make it a real Christmas run
Charges were an assorted lot: Special charge to Sooty for 40 runs Those who had specially dressed for Christmas including Kockup, Nephertits and Boomer and others… Whippet as assistant grog master for the continuing sorry state of the Piss Weak and Pintara beers. GG nominated by SBD simply to ensure that GG got to drink some of the PW beer Punch for fondling the erect pom pom of Nephertits John and Penny for believing that Melbourne was close to the South Pole; followed by Rolf charged with wearing a full body condom in some vain attempt to keep out the aforementioned cold.
Gerbils put on an excellent spread of home cooked quiches, salad and rolls enjoyed on picnic rugs, followed by a liquid dessert at Molly Blooms for many. A jolly night even if Santa didnt turn up.
