Lakeside Hash House Harriers The drinking club with a running problem
Run 1020, 14 January 2004 Hare: Pog Venue: Brookville Gardens, Fairbairn Road, Toorak
Pog chose a exclusive inner suburb bbq to set his virgin run. Countless dogs (apart from our own Whippett and Toto) were happily gambolling in the late afternoon sunshine when the pack set off. Trail was thick on the ground as we ran up and down and up and down the lanes and streets of Toorak.
Unfortunately there were two types of trail not used by the hare when setting this particular marathon… they were the ‘on-back’ and the ‘check’. So the pack became very straggly – only the walkers with the map were able to a) keep some people heading in the right direction, and b) stop at the pub for a drink before waltzing in for a great feed of sausages, salad and bread.
As the balance of the pack arrived from all four corners of the park, those of us who had given up when trail ran out at the council flats were really not sure where it had actually gone!
Congratulations to On Your Bike, NickerLicker and G-String for finding their way home and saving the search party from having to guess where to start looking. Virgin Nevine explained that she had written her description of the run in the book (in arabic!) and gave it 10 out of 100.
Visitors were duly welcomed – Nevine as a virgin hasher, Man Eater and NickerLicker from somewhere in Old Blimey, Maiquim and David (still coming back!) and Dags and G-String (returnees) Special runs were awarded to Point Post for 455, Dags for 200, NickelB for 88 and Bovine Breeder for 101. Cooch very belatedly recieved his 100th run mug.
Charges from last week included Kirsty for taking the bait when IBM teased her (silly girl) and GG for asking 2 beers from the end of the charges “who was sergent?” – speaking of which – we do still need a volunteer – Any one interested in a permanent role where you get to freely harass the Lakesiders?
Charges from this week included
– Pog for a multitude of sins – including the run, serving sausages when he himself is vegetarian, not having tomato sauce. – Shaggadelic and ManEater for threatening the hash wives security…? – The two canadians for complaining about the cold of the Melbourne Summer. – Hats in the circle – Boner, Nefertits and Kokup. – Toto for mis-pronouncing Nefertits name – Nevine and Shaggy lusting after the real estate of Toorak – Kokup and Punch for sex on the run – GG for being an old fart – Irregular, Nonentity and Gerbils for slumming in Toorak coffee shoppes
