Run 1184, 27 December 2006 Hare: NickleB & Lotasfun Venue: Fairview Park, Hawthorn
The location of this run was a closely guarded secret to many people until the very last minute, in fact there could be some still out there scouring the suburbs looking for it. The blame for this was leveled at Klingon, the webmaster, but in truth the Parks Authority of Victoria should be publicly castigated for naming two quite distinct places with such similar names. There could well be similar problems next week, since the circle ended with the Trailmaster, Prince, averring that the run may be from Astro’s gaff in Canterbury, or not as the case may be – something to do with someone wanting to swap dates (sounds kinky to me)!
The circle got off to a good enough start with PolPot describing the trail in such wonderful detail (complete with movements) that Upper Class Tart felt she had actually run it. It must have been a good one, to score 46/46 with two bonus points for Lotsafun’s excellent and unusual Malaysian food. From what your correspondent could glean it was a long riverside trek and included a fiery encounter with the locals to liven up the return leg.
It was good to see so many returnees (some from way back) – Deep Throat up from Adelaide, Shunt now retired and hoping to get back into regular hashing, and CunningLinguist just making the effort. Joan and Alan don’t come often we’re told, and Deep Throat and CunningLinguist were therefore enlisted to help with this difficulty. BovineBreeder was reproved for unsolicited advertising and 6.35 for shocking one-upmanship (his HHH registration). BovineBreeder then leveled several charges against others for various trivialities. Punch very cleverly kept topping up her alcohol level by making weeny taking-away mistakes. Who says women aren’t smart? Mention was made of the ‘C’ word and the Englishmen were given a drink to help their recovery but it didn’t help much. GG made his usual three or four appearances in the circle, the most serious offence being the lack of beer on the table, and his slowness in coming to the right side of the table.
Please forgive any inaccuracies or omissions from this run note, because apart from not having done the run as a result of a certain geographical inexactitude, the notes I so carefully made on a paper napkin got separated from me somewhere between Hawthorn and Footscray. Is this Alzheimer’s setting in do you think?
!ON!ON!
