Run 1815

Run 1815 18 June 2007

The LOCATION
Vanderlin Drive

The RUN
Set by SBS and Bones

First of all thanks to Barbarian, Saint Physio, Goose and Alzheimers for this sheetshit. Good work! Could I get a male PA? My personal slave refuses to be my secretary. Anyway back to the run or should I say invasion again? More than 50 runners turned up near the pump-house on Vanderlin Dr, maybe in anticipation of Thai food. The GM started proceedings with a speech about finances. Two options were put to the assembled pack – keep the fees at $12 for drinkers and $5 for non-drinkers with no guarantee of any “events” during the year or raise the fees to $15 for drinkers and $6 for non-drinkers with the promise of “many events” during the year. The motion was put to the floor and the pack was asked to choose. The majority voted to raise the fees so time to start saving.
So we will have money to enjoy some free goodies over the next year. With the nasty business out of the way the runners and walkers set off into the bush on a trail of red tape. CBD obviously still suffering City to Surfitis led the pack across the floodplains like a greyhound on a promise. The pack weaved its way through the beautiful scenery surrounding Leanyer Lakes and emerged in the burbs. There were a couple of small creek crossings but not enough to wet the feet. Lots of checks early which were held by the front runners. Later in the run they reverted to their old non check holding ways. (bad boys! Next time you will get an anchor to slow yo down) Mild confusion ensued when the pack caught the whiff of a piss stop and Bones tried to direct the pack the quickest way to the booze using his best “would I lie to you” expression. Eventually all runners and walkers made it to Hibiscus for a piss stop in the salubrious tavern before on home.

The CIRCLE
A large and boisterous circle of 50 runners and walkers was called to order by the GM (after several attempts) and Horse was co-opted as choir master for the night. Our GM was more than busy at the circle with lots of naming and visitor down downs. And if you cry for details now Barbarian put down all details, I guess he was a book keeper in his earlier live
Returning Runners:
Etticunt, Skiddy,Bomber,Mango & Tutu These runners were given half a note by the stand-in choir master.
Visitors:
Goatsbreath, HappyHooker & another (Another is a nice name). Etiquette and his missus turned up. They are in Darwin for a visit. Etiquette is still as crazy as ever.
Virgin:
Kristy was introduced to DH3 by Highbeam as neither of them were drinking beer they both had H2O down downs. (H2O down downs? I guess this is against every hash rule, couldn’t you find a volunteer hasher for these drinks?)
Namings:
First up was Braman who called Victa forward (Sorry but what is Victa? Google God says it is an icon brand and it turns grass into lawn. I am not sure if I want to know why his name is victa) Next up was Cricket who named Victa’s partner as Catcher (so we got cricket now and catcher, a position played in baseball so Sport for all, together for a better world! Or Just do it?) Saint Physio finished this wonderful ceremony naming Dregs’ mum Best Head due to Dregs birthday party, believe me she deserves this name. The GM announced that he will be watching closely and that he will be naming others in the near future. Please GM, please name the Rutherford twins!
Jokes:
Tutu told a shit joke and got a down-down, and then incredibly managed to tell a worse one.
Hares:
Bones and SBS were up for their down-down as Hares. The pack showed their usual appreciation for the run and genuine praise rained on the Hares for the piss stop and the imminent tucker (with SBS it’s always good) Bones produced a hash-historical artefact, an antique stainless steel bedpan presented to DH3 by USS Chosen. The GM reiterated his penchant for icing and the pack called for blood. Ettiquette was passing the trailer at the time so he got to drop his daks and cool off. Next up were the city to surfers; Fatboy, Highbeam, Karaoke, CBD, Horse, and Barbarian along with Woodchip and Chips who performed official duties on the day, mostly ensuring that buses didn’t turn up and Dingo didn’t win (again). Then it was all about Dregs, first she forgot the chook and then she got her birthday down-down. Happy Birthday Dregsy! And we will do it next week again  A final down-down for Horse as stand-in choirmaster and Etticunt or Etiquette (there are some differences in Barbarians and Saint Physios version) for getting off the ice and the circle was closed.

The SCORE
Tucker: Chilli-beef, Paw-Paw Salad with all the trimmings. 6 for the run (for setting a run, bringing tucker, lots of hashers) , +1 for a bit of bush, -1 for no false trails, +2 for tasty non-sausage tucker.
SBS and Bones scored: 8 points

The Words of wisdom
GM to the City to Surfers “Stop singing, start drinking” “Do you remember when Bones started running Hash and he didn’t drink?” Tutu to OBE. After Bramans mini-circle (someone tell him he’s not GM any more) where he announced Bones has been running with DH3 for 25 years on ya
Bones. Horse to Cricket “I once sold five leeches to a doctor who did breast reductions for 10 bucks”
