Run 1342, 30 September 2009 Hare: Egg & Bacon Pie and Cooch Venue: Mountain Goat Brewery North St Richmond
Well, what can you say about a run set from a local, boutique, organic brewery (the managers of which supply all the beers for the hare and the down downs), set in amongst river, circus and suburban views, perfectly laid on a perfect, balmy night? Well, there was plenty to say at the circle.
The run set off at 6.45 down the street towards to the river and then north to check outside Phantom’s work place (BAe). Pity Phantom didn’t know how to contact Lakeside hash to find out where the run started from. Pity he didn’t even think of following the arrows backwards to see from whence they came. Oh no, that’s just not like an engineer at all. Best to whinge via an e-mail for missing the run.
The first check had them all running back towards the flats, through the playground and down to the river path, only to be confronted by a falsie and shortly afterwards another check up the hill, where a sneaky, cunning E&B was hiding in the bushes waiting to make sure they all followed. The run then proceeded down to the Amora Hotel and back down to the river, under the Bridge Road Bridge, back up to the boulevard, through a bit of the old cottage suburb, back to the playing fields, back down to the Yarra, under the Swan Street Bridge and then across the road at GE and down to the railway line and the freeway. The hare thought it would be a good idea for the hashers to play with the trains and cars but alas, they stuck to trail apparently. The first half of the run finished at the drink fountain at the golf course and then proceeded to Colours’ end of Richmond, running around the Edwardian homes and then back up to Swan Street and around the back of the shops, through narrow streets with a mixture of 21st and 19th century homes, over Bridge Road at the lights, through some laneways up to Burnley Street and on home down North Street to the Mountain Goat.
The circle opened at 8.45, after all hashers were gleefully fed on $8 pizzas and a selection of organic beers. First in was the hare – E&B. Bovine Breeder described the run and marked it 7/10.
Old Boar celebrated his 50th run. Palendromic celebrants included Cut Loose on her 11th and It Wasn’t Me on her 101th. Baby Zeke was introduced to his new friends as a virgin (… – oh no, don’t go there!), but Zeke wasn’t able to drink so Cooch actually took the DD as a lookalike! Codpiece presented Zeke with a present so he can ride his mum and dad’s backs in future hashes.
Peanuts was charged for using the hash photograph as a cheat sheet and E&B was charged with cheating Peanuts with giving her the wrong names. Sooty complained. Yes, Sooty. You wouldn’t reckon it, would ya. But yes. Sooty complained about last week’s great circle only having one jug of beer to do the charges. So Sooty took the charge in beer – an ugly sight. But he did it very well.
Someone attempted to name Paddy and Lisa but they’re gonna have to wait until they do something really dumb in their forthcoming run this week. Cooch charged Lisa with being a sports commentator during the run. She was well on her way to changing careers until she included in her commentary that Two Bottoms was coming up the rear of Holy Shit and then, lost it when she realized what was happening. Cracked Up? Hmmm.
GG noticed that the toilet doors were marked for Males, Females and Drunks. Holy Shit and Lisa charged Shit off a Shovel with the worst chat up lines to the under-aged barmaid and to the factory workers out on smoko in the car park. Shitty said before the run that he had shit up his nose which must make him a bit of a contortionist.
Lotsafun charged Bovine Breeder with shortcutting. He was also charged for thinking the poor residents of Richmond could afford 4 tellies in one room – when really he was peaking in the windows of GTV 9 studios, looking for Daryl and Ozzie.
Paddie charged Old Boar for owning a big powerful camera but not knowing how to use an instamatic.
And there was still more beer left. Everyone got charged. Holy Shit got charged so all the shits got charged. And still there was more beer.
