Lakeside Hash House Harriers
LAKESIDE HASH HOUSE HARRIERS HASH TRASH
Run 994 30 July 2003
Venue: Quiet Man Hotel, Racecourse Road, Flemington
Hares: Punch and Kock Up
A great run set around the old abattoirs of Flemington which have now been replaced with moder town houses – with the only remaining remnants being the fencing and the bluestone roads which used to lead the cattle to their slaughter. Must make for great gardens with all that blood and bone drenched into the soil. Can imagine a few mad cows coming out of the place though in years to come.
When Kock Up warned us to be careful on a slippery bridge, and that we’d be going up some stairs, GG had it sussed. Oh yes, GG knows his country – even though it’s on the other side of the zoo to Magpie country – and yes for sure, we did run over the slippery bridge that lead to the place of the unemployed – the Fourntwenty pie factory. We ran to the peace garden too where we were inspired by the rose garden and the peace sign made of paving through the oval. We had a great drink stop of beer and wine in the pouring rain somewhere on the other side of the pie factory.
Kock Up and Punch survived the initiating ceremony of laying their first run with LSH3. They’re in like Flynn now, just like their predecessor, Mouth to Mouth, the previous week. And Melbourne needs the rain so they should all lay runs again soon as they obviously bring on the wonderful stuff from the sky that falls white on the local hills. Well done all.
Visitors Weather Fucker and Pythagararse from one of the Brisbane hashes and our irregular Taxing from Adelaide but saying she was from Sydney – were welcomed with a drink. TD2 tried to educate the masses in the history of the Balangara Uprising which took place 155 years ago to the day when the Norman wolf terrorised the Irish. GG was issued a drink for boasting about being the RA of Melbourne H3 and it never raining; the two male visitors for being weather forecasters and Clingon for being RA and bringing on the rain; no doubt if Cooch had’ve been there he’d’ve been DD’d for maintaining the reservoirs that hold all this lovely rain.
Charges included:
- BB to Whipett and E&B for the latter mistaking Whippett for Barter Bitch on the run – well they do look alike and speak with a north american accent and wear the same clothes; anybody could make the same mistake!
- Kock Up charged Rolf Harris for herding in the sheep – he meant the hounds but as we were in a slaughter yard at the time and there were pictures of kelpies rounding up the herd there’s no wonder the confusion set in.
- GG (whom, it was established last week, is funny anyway) to Taxing for having a large bone on her plate and enjoying it. This could be a reasonable charge if the hash were to lash out and buy wine down downs but considering the winos have to drink their own drinks it’s not really worth the attention seeking to like a good bone these days.
- BB to Plugger for enjoyng the women’s peace garden and confusing it with an historical men’s piss garden.
- TD2 for helping Weatherfucker with a naming.
- Sootie for wearing some black, meaningless shirt with white ferns on that didn’t mean a thing because the only thing we Melbournians give a toss about is games we can win.
- Punch for wearing all navy blue, in sympathy with Sootie.
- Astro for being a great checking chicken.
- Whippett for getting free beer from the pub for DDs – something we should all aspire to.
