Warning – this run report contains excessive padding, waffle and crap! Background information: A prime number is a number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors. 23 is a prime number and 23 is the number of Lakeside Hashers that made the commitment on the first day of spring to run with the Nickel B. Robert Anton Wilson cites Wilson S. Burroughs being the first person to believe in the 23 enigma. Wilson, in an article in Fortean Times, related the following story: I first heard of the 23 enigma from William S Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Nova Express, etc. According to Burroughs, he had known a certain Captain Clark, around 1960 in Tangier, who once bragged that he had been sailing 23 years without an accident. That very day, Clark’s ship had an accident that killed him and everybody else aboard. Furthermore, while Burroughs was thinking about this crude example of the irony of the gods that evening, a bulletin on the radio announced the crash of an airliner in Florida, USA. The pilot was another captain Clark and the flight was Flight 23. The first of September heralds the end of winter and welcomes the cherry blossoms and the mating of the love birds. Unfortunately, it was still cold and wet. There is still lots of snow on the mountains .
The doomed pack of 23 assembled at the Tower Hotel for the second time in about as many months. Last time we gathered for Mummies Boy when we did the run of the Scorpion. This time Lakeside did the run that went for 90 minutes and had lots of unpredictable checks and on backs. The run kept the pack together as we started through Hawthorn around the Fritsch Holzer Park, the Skate Park, Camberwell Civic Centre, Trafalgar Road, and back home along the railway line and down the hill back to the pub. I don’t know the distance as Crack Up once again has refused to attend and to more importantly, bring her GPS and distance calculator. Thankfully we had a copy of the map with us and that helped the pack to find the run at times when things got a bit challenging.
Back at the pub I reconfirmed the pleasures of getting married and the need to not consume too many calories…. You may ask, what is Bovine waffling on about? But what I am saying is that instead of having a big section of cattle with its arse wiped and grilled it under the bain marie light for 30 seconds, I instead opted for the grilled calamari salad that did not contain one single morsel of carbohydrate. To be fair, the salad was good but man does not live on rabbit food alone…
The circle was formed sans Big Bang as she had to be at the synchrotron to continue her ultimate experiment of creating the penultimate death ray. The hare Nickel B was fronted and Just Martin started to tell us about the run but as soon as he faltered, Chrome Dome came in saved the day and awarded the run 55 out of 70.
Returnees were punished for missing the hash in and included Filthy from Sydney, Old Boar, and Cod Piece.
Kling On was charged the On charges that included Bark On for being Dog Gone, Add On etc.
Cyclone Tracy was charged for organizing the weather patterns to occur in 7 day cycles. Ie. in our case, the rain comes every 7 days or on Wednesday nights. Thanks Cyclonic Tracy!
Nickel B for his callous approach to Lakesiders.
GG for saying something inane.
Wet Spot Charge – was awarded to Cod Piece for finding every puddle over the 90 duration of the run.
Tripod Joke – The KFC Julia Pack. KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) in honour of the federal election have brought out the Julia Gillard Pack. The Julia Gillard Pack includes two very small breasts, two very big thighs, and has a big red box!
