Weather update – Raining. Cold. Wet. Run distance was 8.15km. That little bugger….
For the third week in a row the Religious Advisor Klingon badly let down Lakeside by providing crappy rainy wet and shaggy conditions for the hash. Speculation was rife amongst the hash by certain individuals that will remain nameless (Hello – Sooty), that the RA was performing badly as he was not being disciplined severely enough by the new GM – Big Bang. It is interesting to note that our resident Bureau of Meteorology advisor – Cyclone Tracy not only did not wear proper hash attire, was late and therefore avoided the inclement climactic conditions. Sigh…..If only I had direct access to the weather radar……
Despite the inclement conditions and the knowledge of the fact that SOAS sets ridiculously long runs, Lakeside still managed to turn out 25 people. We had visitors to our run including the very friendly Coxless One from Brisbane Thirsty Hash, Kojak from Rotorua Hash in NZ. As an aside, Kojak is Sooty’s brother and he looks a lot like the trucking magnate – Lindsay Fox. The other visitor was Claire who admitted to being SOAS’s (Sh#t Off A Shovel) partner, and was here for her second run. We had a longtime returnee of the stylish Cheap Trick who now lives in Brisbane.
Due to the showers, the run had been wiped out so SOAS quickly volunteered to set a live run. The walkers were given a map and setoff doing their own thing. The runners minus those “Fair-weather hashing wimps” setoff for the epic adventure in the cold dark night after giving SOAS a five minute start.
The run almost immediately ran into the back streets of Clifton Hill before commencing the one of many crossings of Queens Parade, Hoddle Street, and Alexandra Parade. SOAS set a good run and we went through many parks including Mayors Park, Darling Gardens, Victoria Park – the heartland of COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB, Corporation Reserve and Edinburgh Gardens where the pack only just missed catching SOAS along Alfred Crescent. Another sigh. If only……….
The Terminus decided to change the menu and removed the Kangaroo. Instead I enjoyed the Sirloin of Bovine (and yes I might be a cannibal), and Big Bang ate the twice cooked lamb shanks. What the Terminus does very well is stock some great beers including Holgate which Too Dumb to Die and his partner Too Dumb to Divorce are involved with. Another one that I sampled was this nice dark ale made by a brewer called True South in Black Rock. This beer reminded me strangely of this old favourite of Kostritzer Schwarzbier from Germany. Yummo beer.
Charges were made and there were lots of them.
Cooch gave the run report and rated it correctly at 39/41. The visitors were charged. Coxless One, Kojak, Claire, and Cheap Trick.
Special runs of note were: ? Lube Oil for the milestone of 100 runs and was presented with her Lakeside hash mug. ? Lubang Oz for a sequential run of 123 runs. ? CrackUp and Whack! For their first anniversary since starting with the hash. Well done for your contribution to Lakeside as being recent hashing virgins. ? Big Bang for giving little notice to SOAS to be Sergeant. ? Lots of Fun, NickelB, and Sooty for conspiring to setup their run whilst SOAS was away. ? Whack! And Cooch for not catching SOAS as the live hare. ? E&B charged Claire for taking SOAS away from the hash for his birthday. ? Sooty gets the Claudia Schiffer award for his excellent dress sense and colour coordination skills. Picture this, bright orange pants, bright green jumper and sea blue tshirt underneath. Yep, he really did wear that. And you wonder how Sooty gets so many young lassies coming up to him offering to throw themselves on him. ? Sooty again for dropping multiple F#@$ Bombs throughout the night. ? GG charged Klingon for something. ? Bovine Breeder got charged for not keeping the hash tshirts up to date. ? Cyclone Tracey for not wearing hash gear. ? Astro tried to charge someone, made a meal of it, and got rebounded. ? Claire lacks conviction and drive through her pathetic “on-on” yelp that was only audible to dogs at 10 metres. ? Flem for overdressing. ? GG for whinging at the bar. GG was still whinging as he was taking his charge. ? Coxless One for keeping a low profile. ? Klingon for dereliction of duties as RA with the crappy weather and also wearing the Liberal Party Tshirt for the seat of Kooyong despite being nominated for the Secular Party. ? It Wasn’t Me for something to do with the youngest member – ie Nor Me. ? Lubang Oz for jay walking in his intent to abandon his beloved wife Lube Oil. ? It Wasn’t Me again for being some mediator. ? Cutloose for low profile.
Summary – Great run considering the conditions. A big thanks to SOAS for setting two runs in one day. Shiggy weather and conditions are great as they separate the Fair-weather-wimps from the true hardcore hashers. Well done to those that came and shame on the rest of you for not supporting our great Lakesider – Sh#t Off A Shovel
Announcements – Thrust talked about Nash Hash in Tassie over a week in February. She extolled that we should donate money to the research of saving the Tasmanian Devils that have some mysterious medical condition. With Nash Hash, accommodation is filling fast so we need to book soon.
Next Weeks Run – Bark On (Chiko) Memorial Run – the hare is Whack! George Hotel cnr Cecil & York Sts, South Melbourne. Note this is a dog friendly run so please bring your puppy dog along. Never forget the Chiko.
