Janus Memorial Run
Who’s Janus I hear you ask? Once upon a time there was an accountant with personality and he was named Janus. (known as ‘Huge’ by those who know their Janus’s). One day he left sad, somnolent, soulless Sydney and headed for the city that never sleeps – Melbourne. He imposed himself on Lakeside. He stayed for a while and then left again – the yearning to live again in an S place too great, so he went off to sunny, scintillating, sea-girted Seychelles.
And we haven’t heard from him since. (He’s found a woman). Nonetheless the Sydney spawned Seychellian leaves a gaping hole in our hearts which we fill with shiraz sodden sentimentality on the 3rd Sunday of each January.
Run started late because E&B and Cooch stopped off for some frottage at Frankston. Udder had the novel idea that the pack should follow the hare instead of the trail marks which got us home before tea. Run tastefully skirted the Mornington Cemetery instead of waking the dead like last year. This year Udder didn’t fall off the boardwalk but Boris almost did. (What’s the difference between Boris, Chicko and Rupert? – Chicko’s a regular hasher, Rupert has a silly name and Boris likes cats. Coated in gravy.)
Had Hash Halt in the bush and speculated about the provenance of a burnt-out Ford Falcon. Along boardwalks, through bush, along creeks until we came to what used to be Mt Martha beach but now under roiling surf. Boris, who has the attention span of an ant on amphetamines, spotted a cat and headed off to Sorrento which delayed the Hare for a while but we got back for some yummy food.
Thereafter, some adjourned to the garage for darts. “What’s that round thing on the wall?” asked E&B. That’s a dart-board, the crowd answered. “What’s this thing with the feathery end?” That’s a dart. “What do I do with it?” Throw it. “Where?” Anywhere along the side of the house will do. And then she won the match!
Oblivious to atheists and agnostics and Klingon, Gerbils set up a Janus shrine with candles and photos of the revered one, around which gathered the hash circle.
Our RA Lotsa named Cheryl Gargoyle for her delicate down downs.
Charges:
* Colours gave the run 28/30. * Cooch gave food 9/10. * Udder, Cooch, NicklB, Whippet, Klingon were all charged for being beaten by a woman at darts. (Unfair for Whippet who hadn’t even played but when was hash fair.) * Udder and Gargoyle charged for taking Boris, Chicko and Rupert on a run which they set when they knew Mornington’s a ‘no canine’ cemetery. * Boris for almost falling off boardwalk. * Rolf for getting a darts bullseye. * E&B for being a darts hustler. * Whippet awarded the Janus perpetual trophy and then charged for immediately locating condoms stored therein (albeit out of code).
We were ready for an afternoon nanna nap, so we watched ancient tapes of Eddie “Udder” McGuire and his Seychellian version of “Who wants to be .1% of a Millionaire?” He used to be young and beautiful. What happened?
