Run 1403, 27 Oct 2010 Hare: Lubang Oz Venue: 18 Grove rd, Hawthorn

Welcome to the private school mecca of Melbourne. Home of bright blazers, ties, stately homes and afternoon rowing along the Yarra River in summer. Around here there is Trinity Grammar, Ruyton Ladies College, MLC – Methodist Ladies College (or Mens Last Chance as we called it when I was in school), Carey Grammar, and the magnificence of Xavier College. This just proves the 2010 report from the Productivity Commission showing that private school kids receive nearly double the amount of government funding to that of government schools. I digress.

Nestled in this belt of wealth live the very wonderful Lubang Oz and Lube Oil. Over 35 hashers assembled at the appropriate time, at least I assume everyone did because I was late.  Joining as returnee was Janus, back from a stint of mismanaging the financials of the Seychelles Islands. We also joined by a new couple of what they admit – Hash Sluts of Booty Camp and Snowblower from Calgary, home of the Calgary Stampeders.

The run meandered up Church and Denmark Streets, around Trinity and Mighty Xavier, between MLC and Ruyton, and nearly touched Carey. Lubang even managed to set the run along the former railway line, now a leafy green reserve enjoyed by residents and hashers alike. I did the run backwards and the first ones I saw were the walkers, and then after the first runner I met was Tripod. Its was nearly 5 minutes later when I saw the next runners of Astro, Cut Loose, Old Boar, Icy and Hash On or Flash On? They did not believe me that they were at the front of the pack, until a few minutes later when the runners appeared including Cooch, Flem and all the usual suspects.

A cold ginger beer awaited me to quench my thirst and a giant pot of chicken curry, lots of rice and vegies were there to sate my appetite. This was topped off with according to the long time returnee of Janus, as being a very moist and delicious banana cake. Lube Oil will be entering next years Masterchef TV show.

Charges were laid and Lakeside once again reasserted their dominance with a return of heavy beer. – Thanks Flem.

Snowthrower summed up the run with “Great Run”. Someone assisted with the description of beautiful houses, and the most beautifully crafted arrows. Janus complimented the food stating that he had travelled many thousands of kilometres back to Melbourne from the Seychelles, where Janus would often go up the road to the local Indian Restaurant and have chicken curry and banana bread. Come to think of it, that was exactly what Lube Oil feasted us with………. Go figure that one out! The run and meal were given 17.38/10.

Returnees and visitors were charged of Janus, Booty Camp, Snowthrower, Peanuts, Chrome Dome, and Just Martin. Chrome Dome, was further charged as she works for Holden and recently went away to Kununurra to do some testing of the latest Holden’s in extreme heat conditions. The problem was that the area just experienced its coldest month on record!!

Tricky Dicky was charged for being too tricky for even himself when he stood on one of the beautifully crafted arrows and asked – “Which way does the run go?”

The ménage a trois charge went to Point Post, Cut Loose and Astro. Is that why they call her Cut Loose??? Or was it because Pointy said to Cut Loose – “Why don’t you get on your knees and……..”

Fashion awardees went to Metatarsole, Sooty, and Cheesecake who was tired after apparently manning the drinkstop last week. Nickel B threatened to bring back his bright yellow shorts and everyone screamed at the idea.

Deep Throat for whinging about not enough wine.

Bovine Breeder was charged for going backwards in order to defend the country.   E&B was charged for complaining “Gee that Janus never stops talking!” Janus was charged for complaining “Gee that E&B never stops talking!”

The Chinese Laundry charge went to It Wasn’t Me and E&B.
