Run Report 919

A good crowd turned up on a very overcast night at a virgin run site. Lilo arrived with pegs for Jake the Pegs birthday run (a rather strange birthday present) but she had to leave early due to morning sickness, or so I’m told. The weather seemed to have brought a few hashers out of the wood work. Flower was blooming in her very elegant LBD. How she managed to do the trail in her high heels is a mystery to me. Another surprise was that OS and Wagga Rod graced us with their presence prior to the start of the run for once.

The run was like a maze with many twists and turns and at times we would look up and see the hare riding pass on his bike. Was he checking to make sure we were on trail or if he had successfully lost us? While there were lots of arrows, they were well hidden and the run turned into a game of hide and seek. We did stay on trail and found the brown stuff, yes, we were rewarded with chocolate, a new take on a drink stop. There was a small crash when Speculate and Lambchop competed for a short cut across the road; luckily Lambchop came out unscathed.

Four runners only tonight - Parasite, Wagga Rod, Flasher and Thunderbox. Ah, how we've missed your grumbling, Thunderbox; you should have stayed home tonight as well. He's been away so long he's lost his magic touch; not that he was ever any good. Half way around the run, Flasher & Thunderbox saw Jake and decided to cut short the run home. Short cutting bastards. The run was left to Wagga and Parasite to complete, victorious. It was difficult to hear on ons when near main roads and doing checks at major intersections and waiting for lights to change, but the hashers made it back. Indeed a hasher was found by Jake in a confused state outside the RBH. Staff were reluctant to help a Parasite but Jake pointed him in the right direction.

The circle was called by the Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins or was it the GM - at the Bathroom. For some reason the clouds cried as the circle was called but it did ease off so as not to get Flower's petals wet.

The run report by Flasher - the accusation was made that the trail was hidden and even marked on the underside of manhole covers, as it was certainly wasn’t marked on the paths. Because of this Flasher had to cut back, or so he says. We had joy we had fun out of Jake’s run. The hare complained that his down down tasted like ammonia.

Visitor Bushy – a homeless man selling snake oil! (Actually spruiking for a great cause - cerebral palsy) An event is coming up at his place on the weekend. Sort of a Noggie Stagger but a bit more sophisticated...what, a sophisticated hash event? No, it can't be true. Bushy had been to Hash Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday to promote this fund raiser event.

Returnees Thunderbox, Dog, Groupie, Parasite, Floater, Adda and Effie. Oh where oh where was you last week.

Birthdays Proxy for Bob Marley was Flasher plus Effie and Jake the Peg.

Charges

Jake accused Flower of being dressed for Court instead of Hash. She had in fact been to the fundraising lunch for Kids of Kokoda.

Jake also charged Parasite for nearly getting dragged into hospital on the run.

Beachball also charged Parasite because his name was Robert Bowen and here we were in Bowen Hills.

GM charged Sherbet for sending out early details of her run but it was the On Sec who did that. Sherbet passed her charge on to Thunderballs, for having a couple of typos on the website.

Off we went to Loco's for a yummy dinner.
