Virgin Lakesiders:
Big Ben and Foof Douce. Big Ben wasted time all day sitting at his computer so when 6.30 chimed he decided he should head out for a run with Lakeside. Foof Douce: Name required explanation for genteel Lakesiders. GM encouraged her to start the evening as we meant to go on. A very visually disturbing explanation followed which involved bidets and fountains and other rude unmentionables.
Returnees:
Pegmatite, Shu shu, Quick lay, 2 Bottoms
Special Runs:
Shu Shu 30, Prince 565, Punch 272 (Editor’s Note – Marvellous to see we’re still joyfully celebrating palindromic runs!)
Hares
Fish Face and Prince
Run Report – Prickly enjoyed the run especially cause the gentlemanly have guided the runners along the trail. Yet again proving the innocent sweetness that epitomises Lakeside’s culture, our dear Hare was so anxious to ensure runners didn’t falter that he unwittingly acted as a human signpost and faced towards the On Trail at strategically tricky points. Canny Prickly worked it out. Even though some speculated Prince had used E&B’s week old arrows for much of the run it truly wasn’t E&B’s run as it didn’t do the goat trail and there were no bagpipers in sight. Avoidance of Goat Trail was a relief for Lakesiders cause they scare easily.
Walk Report – Cut Loose loved Fish Face’s walk as it kept us entertained with unusual arrows, including Half Moon Hash Arrows and Council arrows and then no arrows at all. After Old Boar’s spectacular drink stop at the Myer Music Bowl, Fish Face went for simplicity when designing the Drink Stop as it was a path, the words “Drink Stop” and an arrow pointing to a water fountain. What more was required?
E&B Mystery Sergeant
Charges
- Virgin Ben
- Prickly because she protested he’s not a Virgin but there are no rules in Hash and
- Virgin Ben looked at check and it had a U in it. He was not looking right way.
- Prince – E&B claimed experienced Lakesiders say you can always tell where the run is going cause the C points a certain direction.
- Prince 2 drinks for disagreeing with the Sergeant
- Matching T shirts – Lost Jools and Over the Top
- Fish Face for using the same arrows on the walk as on the run
- E&B rebound for being a short cutting bastard Prince because he used E&B’s arrows – more running on E&B’s trail than Prince’s
- Swampie stayed as bag minder – did you check your wallets?
- Kling On calming down a sweet little old lady who wanted to know what was going on
- Sweaty and Swampy were discussing Hash underwear. GG called in cause he was wearing Hash Undies (Lakeside hasn’t had them in Haberdash for decades so what does that say about GG’s smalls??). GG flashed the circle. Hash Flash captured the moment…………
- Shu Shu and Pegmatite – not been at Hash cause it’s been too cold
- Fish Face should have been a kindy teacher cause of her encouraging style after walkers lost arrows. “Now have we looked?” But even the Hare couldn’t find trail and she suggested walkers “follow Spread-On” as she has Google maps.
- GM charge for Pegmatite from before the run. Peg willingly volunteered that her dog needed his anal glands squeezed. She said she went on UTube to try to work out what to do. The poor dog has been violated. We need to think about some names for her. Kling On as Pegmatite took her Down Down: has she washed her hands?
- Shu Shu, Spread On and Game On for short cutting
- Charge for E&B something about kissing the book alter style??
- Punch for howling at the Full Moon at a Lakeside run “I used to be a werewolf but I’m alright now”.
- Sweaty’s 100th run. First Lakesider in living history to receive her mug on night of her 100 th . GM’s 1 st run was at Leincester Arms. She came for the run with vet friend Sam wanted to piss off straight after but forceful E&B insisted they stay (just like Virgin Ben). Sweaty thought the Circle quite strange and wondered if this was some sort of cult. Sweaty is now Cult Leader and is running the Circle.
- Sweaty congratulated with a cake.
- Sweaty determined someone had to be renamed. Astro confused Fish Face’s name thinking it was Wet Fish so GM claimed Fish Face could be named in her honour and be Fishy Box or perhaps Femme Fresh……Fish Face by democratic vote…
============================================
We gathered at Collingwood to celebrates the GM’s centenary run. Prince and Fishface made sure that both the runners and the walkers were well catered for. A beautiful evening with a full moon over the Yarra, plenty of great food and lots of laughs sprinkled with a few drinks. Some virgins, some new runners, some returnees and the old faithful. Some outfits worn in good taste and some best kept covered. A perfect Hash night.
