Run Report

 

Once a pon a time there lived a little girl who wanted to travel far, far away from where she was brought up, and she ended up in Melbourne. She tried to make friends by joining the best hash in the city, and by and by, the time came when she felt she really should pull her weight – so she laid a trail. There was a nother little girlie who used to yell at people and who made out she knew everything so our little girl asked the nother little girlie to assist her in laying her first run in the city. Well, all would have been fine, except there was this big, nother girlie too who used to yell even louder than the little girlie, so our little girl from far away thought that this big girlie would be the perfect choice to tell everyone the location of her run. Wrong. The big girlie just pretended to broadcast the venue to everyone when really, in fact, all she did was print it in a book used for signatures on the night. First lesson learnt by little girl from far away: don’t rely on the big girls to notify the rest of the group your intricate plans.

 

Anyway, one could only hope the nother little girlie would make the wandering little girl’s first hash a huge success. Wrong again! Don’t rely on short, nother girlies – they only remember half the rules (of which there usually weren’t any at all)… mind you, the rule she remembered was a good one, and thus no trail was laid across a busy intersection without going via the little button on the pole first. However, it probably would’ve been a bit of a quicker run if someone had pressed the little button to make the green man appear, but hey: this is a story about all things being against the little foreigner. Third lesson: if you actually want people to get OFF the traffic island in the middle of the busy intersection, don’t send dogs on the run. We all know (or we do now, anyway) that dogs ruin everything and just want to run! Who else could possibly have thought of pressing the button on the pole to make the traffic stop? Chiko obviously knew that there was no chance in hell of anyone hearing calls on such a busy road so he used the “green man method” instead.

 

So the runners ran, and the walkers went home and the slow coaches dawdled around in the dark, occasionally being interrupted by perfectly drawn round checks in various attempts to spread the group as far away as possible into the darkness of the lake and the golf course. All regrouped again by another perfectly drawn circle only to be split up again in different directions in the attempt to get everyone simultaneously.

 

All eventually arrived back at the starting point, wondering why they were told to bring umbrellas – a past habit from the old country of the little girl.

 

Back at the start, which turned out to be the end, the little girl was surprised to find such a rabble, with everyone talking at once. At least, she thought, they all wanted to talk. So she and her trainer, the nother little girlie, were brought into the circle to be judged. Unfortunately the Prince did not give a very favorable report so the big girl with the loud voice asked for a more feminine, favorable approach to this new runner. A Nother wee girlie with a posh voice defended our little girl to the hilt, but unfortunately they don’t make’em too bright in Italy, and in trying to give a better judgement, Deep Throat actually down-graded the run even more. Lesson number as stated above – don’t trust short girls to give you high marks.

 

Newcomers to the hash were welcomed and emplored to return next week for their own sake – who could possibly live in Melbourne without the fun of Lakeside Hash? So Plugger (Run No. 1) and Boobs (Run No. 1) were forced to print their contact details in the signature book for all to see and useat will, along with Miss Rambo’s (Run No. 2). Pog was also made to feel all gooey and welcomed for his 3rd run. Stuck On was welcomed back into the fold of being a runner for the first time in 15 months.

 

Miss Rambo, Lizard, Klingon, and Udder were welcomed in a new light – as nursing mothers of their four legged mates – and Toto jumped on the back to join the dogs’ life for a beer too.

 

Wings and Downsizing waited until after the run to make their journey across town to the run just so they could talk all their way through the circle and not have any idea of what was going on and ensuring everyone around them was the same. Beers were duly awarded for some reason.

 

Lipstick continued to appreciate Baabarra more and more as she did the job of wetting everyone’s whistles. Lizard will also be a happy man to see Baabarra and Point Post again. The tall lassie with the great voice wouldn’t mind seeing Mummies’ Boy again too for similar reasons!

 

All adjourned for dinner at the local pizza joint where Quasi Moto abused the owner for not giving us all a meal that would break his bank. Account. Very nice, pain giving, pizza and bread and pasta was had by those who attended and they all lived happily every after for the next 7 days.

 

On On until next time…
