Run 1236, 28 November 2007 Hare: E & B Pie Venue: Cooch’s Palace, 115 Buckingham Street, Richmond.
From Richmond, we had a lovely run across the river and through the streets of Kew. Several of us lost trail, but your more serious runners like Cooch and Prince stayed on trail and made it to Far Kew. After a liquidless drink stop in Hawthorn listening to the strains of a constipated bagpipe, we gently loped home along the Yarra for the ultimate in ethnic muck.
I’ve never seen E&B’s pussy and E&B’s bagpipes together at the same time in the same place. To test that a cat is a bagpipe with legs, I grabbed my cat, put her under my arm and squeezed really hard. Sure enough, out came a cranky version of “Scotland the Brave”.
We had the ceremonial walking of the haggis from the kitchen to the garage accompanied by bagpipes and whisky. And the ceremonial reading of that incomprehensible Scottish poem thingy by E&B.
If you’ve never seen haggis before the following might help. My pussy, Min has a set morning routine. She runs outside, bashes the cat next door, eats some grass, eats some breakfast (usually Whiskas venison/turkey or salmon/chicken). She then lets it settle, goes over to the driveway, has a couple of little heaves and up comes the Whiskas, grass and a furball. Imagine this multi-textured, regurgitated mess – that is what haggis looks like. And the good part – sometimes Min re-eats the Whiskas. Haggis tastes heaps better than Whiskas, because I’ve never thrown up after eating it. It’s good enough to have seconds even. E&B didn’t get a food score but she should have got 10/10 cos there was plenty and it was delish.
E&B awarded 28/46 for run which had backwards arrows and walkers crossing runners.
NicklBy started the circle by reading an extract from ‘The Economist’ about some Spanish research which shows that drinking beer rather than water immediately after exercise helps to kill off weak brain cells and leaves more room for the strong brain cells. While sharing this wisdom, he kept looking at Cooch the whole time. How does the beer know which cells to go for? When did the Spanish last win international acclaim in football/cricket/Olympics/swimming/darts/skiing? Moral – stick to water.
