Yes, these hares are the evil couple who enticed Colours and Cheesecake across to Scotland and forced us to endure an horrific holiday in the UK and France. The beautiful scenery, great food and fine wines – oh the cruelty.
Astro set a lovely run through South Melbourne, along the beach at Port Melbourne and back to Albert Park for a refreshing drink stop. Astro’s from South Australia. When Adelaide-ians return soft drink bottles to the local milk bar, they get money for the returnees. Astro thinks the same applies to hashers because there he was on his bike making sure all of us got back home so he could collect 3 cents per hasher.
Cut Loose prepared about 5 different varieties of Egg and Bacon Pie, but sadly Egg and Bacon Pie was a scratching on the night. Those hashers who long for the estrogen wastelands that are Melbourne Mens and D&E hashes, don’t know how lucky they are to be at Lakeside. At MMH and D&E you’ll only get fed sausages, sausages and sausages, and not very big ones at that. At Lakeside we have about a dozen harriettes who regularly serve up an amazing variety of delicious dishes, plus Pointy who can whip up a pretty good pizza. Food-wise we are the best hash in Melbourne.
Whoops, I’m saying nice things about Cut Loose – I must have Stockholm Syndrome! The lads of One Direction have written a seminal work on the Stockholm Syndrome. Harry leads with the first verse (he’s the one with the long hair).
Who’s that shadow holding me hostage?
I’ve been here for days
Who’s this whisper telling me that I’m never gonna get away?
Following verses pretty much all start with “Baby, oh Baby” and are sung by Zayn, Louis, Liam and Niall. They all want to be ‘tied down’ by their ‘baby’. Who said young men are commitment-phobes?
