Don’t you just love October in Melbourne? The weather is bright, sunny, daylight savings has started, the afternoons are longer and its warmer. And so it was to be. Lakeside experienced what the people of Perth boast about, the sun sets in the west over water. News for those sandgropers, the sun also sets over the water in the eastern beach suburbs of Melbourne. Hampton is one of these idyllic beach suburbs where the distance to the beach is defined by real estate agents in number of minutes walk.
Udder gathered the pack for a true Lakeside Hash run at a park with a BBQ, salad, pickled onions and olives, and the famous dip from Gargoyle. (Continental spring vegetables soup powder with sour cream and spinachio). German cake – Stollen. Yummo! Udder even organised a personal training session at the same place with fit men and women running and exercising on the grass so that they could see what true athletes from Lakeside look like.
The run ran down to Sandringham apparently, I don’t really know as I turned up late and ran the run backwards and found the pack a couple of km down along the foreshore. The first ones I saw were Slip Her a Bundy and Colours, who were lost as they had arrived at the incorrect location posted on the website. No names as to whose fault this was – hello Udderly Idiotic. I directed these fair maidens in distress to the correct location and they travelled by automobile in time to enjoy the festive fare.
I saw the pack at roughly the same time as I found these damsels in distress. The pack was lead by the mighty Cooch-mobile, who will always be an FRB till the day I die I think. Not far behind him were Metatarsole, Tripod, Flem, Klingon, Tricky Dicky, Lubang and NickelB, E&B, Lots of Fun, Pol Pot, Silent Knight, Lube Oil, Gringa, GG – Go Pies! Icy, Yo Yo, Deep Throat, Cheesecake, and the indominitable Point Post. The pack were close to each other indicating that Udder, despite his poor directions to the start point, nevertheless was adequate at setting a run that kept them together.
On to the good stuff. Food and alchohol. The food was great. The alchohol was not. The famous legend – Slim Dusty played it well when he sung the famous “A Pub with No Beer” It’s lonesome away from your kindred and all By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call But there’s nothin’ so lonesome, so dull or so drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub hash with no beer Now the publican’s anxious for the quota to come There’s a faraway look on the face of the bum The maid’s gone all cranky and the cook’s acting queer What a terrible place is a pub hash with no beer Lakeside started with about 8 heavy beers and that lasted, well………… about 30seconds. Then after that Lakesiders had to treat our hashers and visitors with light beer. Babies cried, grown men and women were wailing, people of the cloth were kneeling and making the signs of the cross, whatever has become of the great hashing traditions???? Our illustrious Grand Mistress -Big Bang has been gone for two hours, and suddenly we have what some referred to subtly as “gnats piss”.
The circle was held and charges, were laid. Silent Knight from somewhere was given the visitors charge. Returnees charges were handed out to IBM, Cheesecake, Gargoyle, Gringa, Pol Pot, and Tricky Dicky. For serving hashers only light beer, the grogmaster – Flem was brought before the crowd to plead his case before the crowds voted and found him guilty. After that Flem was threatened to be drawn and quartered if he ever let this happen again. Special and palindromic runs – Gargoyle 30, Lots of Fun 383, GG for one off 888, Klingon for 585, and Yo Yo on 22. Udder was charged for not making the 1400th Run due to some trumped up lies of snow. Udder then blamed the RA – Klingon for organising the snow, particularly when Australia now has its first saint – Mary of the Cross. Bovine Breeder was charged for proposing to Big Bang at the MCG AFL Grand Final.
