The Gringa and Heikel Dicky Going Away Party
FINALLY, they’ve gone! You know when you have a dinner party, it gets to the end of the night and those last guests won’t go. So you put the cat out, don the PJs, fill the hot water bottles, put your false teeth in a glass of water but still they don’t get it? Well for months now See Siete Hash has been doing the whole hot water bottle, false teeth thing on a Wednesday night, but Gringa and Heikel Dicky kept turning up. But the law of unintended consequences must have kicked in because we haven’t seen GG in ages.
The German Club started in 1860 and was originally the Melbourne German Gymnastic Club. So a bunch of middle aged pretend athletes who haven’t been able to touch their toes since the 1970s became Gym Club members for the night. The philosophy of the German Club involves the 4 “F”s – no, not the one you’re thinking of. Frisch, Fromm, Frohlich and Frei. Yes, the club believes in a – bright – upright – cheerful – Liberal. Probably a Young Liberal who went to Geelong Grammar, goes to church on Sundays, works for a stockbroking firm and who was admitted to the Melbourne Club on his 21st birthday as a present from his parents who are graziers down the Western District. I can really see our hare Kleben Auf being friends with this guy.
Kleben Auf’s trail took us past the cemetery, through the grounds of CBC College, around St Marys to the football field where some gorgeous spunky footballers were training. Rennen Tracey longingly lingered longer while the rest of the pack took off and ended up at St Kilda Junction. The walkers had way more fun. According to Wasserspeier’s walk report they all got to sit on an old couch abandoned on a nature strip, plus they walked past a shoe shop. Someone awarded Kleben Auf 500/1000 but not sure if it was for the run or thrilling walk.
For dinner there were Bratwurst, Bregenwurst, Knackwurst, Leberwurst, Gelbwurst, Weisswurst – and no matter how they were plated up, they still came out looking really rude. Kleben Auf and Hahn Auf each had half a cow.
