Run 1185, 3 January 2007 Hare: Bovine Breeder Venue: St Vincents Gardens, Albert Park
Quite why Bovine Breeder insisted on hijacking Astro‘s previously booked date no one knows, but though this could have been a recipe for disaster, in fact a healthy (sized) pack turned out. Running on home ground for the first time this year (in fact running anywhere for the first time this year), the trail expertly explored all the backest back alleys of Albert Park, flirted with the lake-side, and looped round to the start in an anti-clockwise fashion, fooling everyone except that wily old fox Astro himself, who was always at the front of the pack in spite of never once breaking into a trot.
We paused most originally for a drink stop in an off-licence where Bovine‘s mate Colin had followed the hare’s instructions to the letter and produced a suitably excessive quantity of hash refreshment (for this he was thanked by being forced to drink the stuff in the circle). Some people even purchased things from him. What was Bovine‘s cut? I think we should be told! Upper Class Tart, who was at the back of the pack ‘sweeping’ missed this unique drink stop and devised her own in a nearby pub, where she met some nice young men. Udder thought all this was worth a mere minus 1 out of 100! There was excess food as well – two huge pots of Thai curry that Bovine had spared no expense in purchasing! His choice of on-on venue was entirely table-free however, and MothBalls had to rescue the situation with a trestle and expensive tablecloth.
Lethal was congratulated heartily following his recent nuptials, and for some reason Cheesecake thought it appropriate to resurrect an ancient manuscript describing him and others in less than complimentary racing terms. Perhaps she had her diary mixed up and thought it was Melbourne Cup week. Egg&BaconPie has amassed 242 runs with Lakeside, and Cheesecake decided that palindromes were significant this week. Udder rewarded Pointpost for wearing his unique 1984 hash shirt, along with some contemporary facts (Jimmy Carter in office, fuel 12 cents a litre etc). CunningLinguist, Deep Throat, and TigerMoth were done for being improperly attired, and Egg&BaconPie was hauled in again for not doing her job as Hash Haberdash. I’ve spotted a theme here; the GM has very high standards of dress.
Dangerous was admonished for thinking Crabbo is the marrying kind. Who does she think Upper Class Tart is married to then, or did she just mistake him for that nice handsome young man Shah? In contrast with some recent weeks there was still plenty of grog (and food) left at the end, even after all the gratuitous down-downs such as the Poms for getting their arses kicked at c****** – again!
