Summation Run – 37.892368999 recurring / 42 (a little predictable) Food – 9.5/10 (small servings) Circle – 10/10
It was an unusually warm April night when the pack met at the Queens Loft at 133 Queensbridge Street in Southbank. The venue is a beautiful place with lots of candles, a Chesterfield Couch, lots of cushions and a lovely outside area to enjoy the pre-run lubrications.
What was usual about this run is that the 6:30 run started closer to 7pm. No surprises!
The Hare – Crack Up, claimed that she could not find any grass and within 5 minutes of starting the run, we were running on the lovely soft grass on the banks of the Yarra River. We ran along the Yarra past the front entrance for the Crown Casino, and the famous nightclub that GG haunts – The Queensbridge Hotel.
We ran past the Aquarium and ended up in the Docklands admiring all the different outdoor artwork displays. Except that is for THE MOST IMPORTANT exhibit of the Bovine up the Tree. After about 50 minutes, we returned to the Queens Loft and started the most important and serious task of rehydrating our athletic bodies with the cold amber fluid that is the sustenance of life. I speak of course about beer and in this case, an excellent German Weisbier from Munich known as the Paulander.
The food was excellent. My bovine eye fillet steak (rare and still mooing) was beautifully presented with grilled Roma tomatoes, salad, and planks of chips. My meal was generous in serving. Although I heard some mutterings from other hashers that their meals were a tad small. No problems there though, some of us Lakesiders could do with a little less weight, myself included.
The circle was good with lots of charges and two namings. We had the visitors charge for the confused French sounding Pom – Le Voisin. Other charges included – Big Bang, Crack Up, & It Wasn’t Me for being females. Cyclone Tracy for having caused a storm in the Land of the Rising Sun – Japan. Tripod for cumming late, or arriving not on time. Crack Up for trying to reach a consensus at the Hash for when to serve the meals. Poor lost lamb. Crack Up again for holding lots of chalk at the start of the run and then sending the pack off without any chalk to mark the checks. Cyclone Tracy for being the checking chicken and not taking the chalk with her, or more accurately- surmising that she “left the chalk in her bag”. E&B for not thinking of Cooch. Prince was charged by E&B for “finally getting there”. (yep no one got it either.) E&B again for telling a charge that just goes in circles. Maybe we should just rename her “Talking in Tongues” Wack! – The pretend stand in hare for evenly spacing the arrows to within a 5mm degree of tolerance. Wack! Was charged again as he obviously requires more practice in the Down Downs. All the Germans got charged – Gringa and Big Bang for trying to save what cannot be saved – Greece. They should also be charged for trying to support the nation that prides itself on the compulsory retirement age of 25 years and a 25 hour working week. Tricky Dicky – got charged for being a virgin Lakeside hasher. Flem was charged for failing in his GM duties of welcoming the Tricky Dicky. Klingon for buying a gay sounding drink. Klingon for promoting back door access on 7th May 2010.
Naming –
Tatts was officially named or should we say that the RA – Klingon was press-ganged by the hash and he was named – “Lick and Stick” for having lots of ink done and following on with the trend of the temporary tattoos that you lick and then stick……. Peter was named “Cinderella” as he wears tights, and turns into a Pumpkin at midnight. Or was he named for riding a pumpkin?
Announcement – Committee meeting tonight at the E&B and Cooch’s abode. BYO food. And yes Cyclone Tracy, you are on the committee. Be prepared to discuss AGM and succession planning.
I have a theory that Cheesecake is forming her own junta to take over Lakeside again, and we all know that no one really reads these run reports except for the hares.
Overall it was a good night or good run, food, booze, and a fun circle.
On On, Bovine Breeder
