Run 1918

Run 1918 with Virgin Lurch

Promoted as the first Virgin Run and a Virgin Nosh.

Will Lurch be able to break the mould this week and prove that there is a new generation of GCHHH who can achieve the impossible.

A group of 29 dedicated athletes circled under the stars around the glowing beachfront fire in the luxury surroundings of Hedges Avenue.

A 10 million dollar $$$$ POSITION –POSITION- POSITION is a fitting place for the Gourment Hash to meet and enjoy fine food.

Thanks Lurch for providing such a great venue and another fire for the Hash night.

The pre-run briefing from Lurch as suspected was a lot of waffle for a Virgin and again there were as usual those mumbled words …“walk to the top of the driveway and find the trail marked with arrows”. He advised all that there were no marking in the schoolyard as he was too scared of the Yummy Mummies when he set the run so he left no arrow trail..can you believe this crap!!

After last few weeks of the so called Best Run of the Year , Best Trailer Run , Best Location Run, Best Bush Trailer Run followed by the so called Best Nosh of the Year ,Best Trailer Nosh of the Year this was looking a hard act to follow by Virgin Lurch.

The Run Warm Up by our RA Caustic, Rectum and Botcho

Some of our runners actually do stretching before the run even in the cold night air. They must think that we don’t notice this elaborate ruse to make us believe they run fast. Names have been provided to give embarrassment!!

The Run

The GM called the usual rabble to order and sent the group on their way at 6.20 pm with his signature words “ good luck finding the trail’ . Again he stayed near the warm fire on the pretense his experience as a firefighter was needed in case the fire got out of control and burnt down the luxury homes on Hedges Avenue.In the event of a major disaster Cumsmoke ( yes he has made an appearance again) decided to stay behind as well to keep him company and assist with legal advice. Mainly Cumsmoke’s job to keep up an ongoing supply of red wine for our GM while pretending to cook the Nosh on the BBQ.

Lurch told all that he spent considerable effort in setting this well-marked Virgin Trail….is this possible on Hedges avenue?? He noted to watch out for female joggers…this was the first good sign that this may be an interesting run.

The runners and walkers moved up the dark laneway into the full light of Hedges Avenue with torches blazing. The only relevant clue was the final information that Lurch would be the Sweep in case anyone got lost!!!..is this guy for real..lost on Hedges Avenue !!!

Rectum fresh from a day atwork relaxing at the home of RockHard took off as usuallike a startled bullantwith Botcho and Josephine hot on his heels.

Lurch’s run was looking in trouble as the runners tried to leave the bitumen road in search of the bush & rough with 2 Dogs, Truck Tyres, Fanny Charmer and Rockhard in full flight on the run. Lurch as promised was waiting at the checks to make sure each person went the right way ..well done Lurch for your assistance.

On On was then called several times on the run as the group all moved across the bitumen roads and then via the shops and roadways to Pissey Park .They were saved by Lurch with his assistance to get them going the right way. The schoolyard part of the run was a bit of a worry as only one member has a Blue Card and he is a walker. Rectum asked his running companion Josephine how do we find the carpark as they raced across the schoolyard without Blue Card??

Most of the few runners this week did do the most of full run and it was by all accounts an excellent city run.

Josephine excelled as he was back for the first run for some time and was able to keep up the pace with Rectum..well done Josephine.

The first runners back via the correct trail was Rectum with Josephine .Botcho with 2 Dogs and TT in 49 minutes.Run distance 6.95 km. Well done hashers. Rockhard somehow managed to get back first but it seems he had a battery failure and was forced to follow the main road and returned via Hegdes Avenue but was on trail all the way ?? work that out!!! ..well done Rockhard.

Run Critic Rectum “ Best Virgin Run of the year so far”. Virgin Hare Lurch put in a lot of effort for this run but again failed to provide a drink stop.Yes..These words say it all …direct from a very experienced hasher!!.These comments by Rectum were wholly endorsed by Josephine and Truck Tyres.

Two Dogs also got in on the act and commented “Amazing how he found new territory after all the runs from this location .”

Great effort Virgin Hare Lurchfor an excellent first run.

The Walkers

As always a big group of walkers lined up at the starting gate.The walking group is getting bigger and slower .As usual most of these geriatics in the past weeks have just come to get away from their family committements on Monday night.

Most make little effort to move away from the Nosh and Booze area except to move their Walkers. Full of Shit now even comes on his electic walker in hope of increasing sales for his products and supporting equiptment.

Again we see those ex runners, Sir Rabbit , Sir Slab , Ballpoint , Jigsaw this week joined by Ferrett and Caustic tothe ranks of the dedicated professional walkers. Are they now permanent walkers?

The dedicated professional walkers Skinny Slug (lost 14 Kg on his new diet), Sir AH ,Weekly, Kwakka ,Woodsie,Now Loved , Blue Card, Shat & Swindler all moved out a brisk pace and attempted to keep up a good pace for the long walk along the beachfront and back.

In this group we saw Nasty and Trannie set out but they go lost at the 45 metre mark in the nearby surf club.

What great comraderie these brave bunch of Hash Walkers are experiencing.

The Nosh

For the Virgin Hare Lurchit was always going to be a hard act to follow after last few week with Miscarriage’s et al recentefforts that at this stage are competing for “The Best Trailer Bush Nosh of the Year?”

As promised by the GM Kitchen Bitch the hash in now truly back into gourmet but would Virgin Hare Lurch be able to produce the goods.

It was unlimited Hot Dogs from a real hot dog stand with help yourself homemade accompaniments so most had second and third helpings.

Resident food CriTic JosEphine Who had 3 hOt Dogs OBVIOUSLY appreciated the food: “Great food and at last back to Hash basics”

Well done Virgin Hare Lurch for providing the meal with minimal outsourcing from MISS LURCH …a Great effort to create a genuine Hash atmosphere that helped to make this ANOTHER REAL hash night of true HASH nosh in a great beachfront location around the Fire.

The CIRCLE

Q: what is happening in the Centre of thIs Circle

As usual our GM appeared in Katmandu Hat with Hash Chains, the Moses Staff and with his new horn. As always his long flashy pants did create some interesting comments.

The Circle opened on a somber note as the GM advised all of the passing to Hash World in the Sky of Nasty’s father Gordy. Many will remember Gordy who often came to our Splinter lunches with Nasty and he really enjoyed these event and the company of the Gourmet Hash Team.

After a minutes silence the GM called on all to sing the Hash Hymn in memory of Gordy

The GCGH members all pass on our condolences to Nasty as no matter at what age it is always so sad to lose one of our family.

The Icings

Is this a new treatment for this condition by Dr Caustic?

Very unfairly given to Shat as Warrior in Chief for creating those Blue Warrior Vests that are now seen on cyclists all over the Gold Coast.

Ballpoint for doing an amazing effort in writing the words as Assistant On Sec . But why did he have to say to Caustic “who gives a Fuckkkabout the truth!!!

DD to:

Wrong Way Woodie for bringing his son in law Jonathon as a visitor. Is he trying to break up the marriage by introducing him to Hash??

Useless Shirt

Awarded by Truck Tyres to Jigsaw for losing his computer.

Prick of the Week

Given by Truck Tyres to Ferrett for character assassination

Report by GM

Gift for GM

With tears in his eyes saying “these are best gifts so far this year” ( he always says this) the GM accepted more amazing and thoughtful gifts from Shat of a Brussell’s little boy pissing statute ,from Kwakka a Brussels bus ticket with unused coupons and from Ex GM Now Loved some crap from Turkey.

Special Welcome:

Our GM gave a special welcome to our visitor Jonathon who happens to be Wrong Way Woodsie son in law. Jonathon is the sponsor this year for the ongoing supply each week of Ice for the Hash and we thank him (Not everyone says thanks but mainly Caustic who can’t believe his luck with never ending supply of Ice).This is a big expense for the Hash and the funds saved will most certainly assist the additional funding of travel plans of your hierarchy.

GM advised that

Sir Slab 70^th birthday run will be a 4 Hat Michelin Chef Event – An expensive free gift will be provided to commemorate this important event.

Run cost $20.00 including free gift

If non-attendance then free gift is for sale at $50

GM now advised Best Beachfront Trailer Nosh of Year Award to be made at AGPU (how many more awards can we have…the AGPU will last all night at this rate???)

GM advised next week run will be by Rectum.an event not to be missed.

A Big Bugger of a Tractor

It was the great A.S ‘G’ Gispert, the spirit of the Hash, who once said: “Hashers generally fall into 3 distinctive categories, namely:

1. those that make it happen i.e. the Tractors;
2. those that watch what happens i.e. the Wallflowers (as RA Caustic likes to call them); and
3. those that wondered what happened i.e. the Perpetually Comatose.

Thankfully, the GCH3 is blessed with a shed full of Tractors. Take Moonbeams for example: having done the hard yakka for the best part of a hundred years, one would expect to see him with feet up, vin rouge in hand, watching the sunset. Not our Moonbeams, who has just returned from his annual trip to his banana farm in central Thailand where he leads the harvest on his 20,000 hectare property. Asked why, Moonbeams’ response says it all: “I’ve had a pretty good innings so I figured it was time to put a bit back in. Helping 40,000 villagers avoid starvation is the least I can do. And anyway, I still get a kick outta watching Thai girls eat bananas.”

Truck Tyres is another Tractor. Arguably, he is the GCH3s’ biggest Tractor, the latest John Deere 4WD type with big wheels and a bloody big engine. And so, when it suddenly dawned on Hare of the week Carefree that setting a run was beyond him, he called on everyone’s trusted hash mate, Truckie.
TT: “No worries mate, what do you want done?”
CF: “Most hashers think I’m bloody hopeless so I wanna surprise them with virgin territory, plenty of shiggy and really challenging checks.”
TT: “Fuck me, you don’t want much do you? Anything else?”
CF: “Can you cook?”

All things considered, the trail was a great success cleverly incorporating a newly opened footbridge over the Nerang river. The hardy pack was then herded through the back streets of Southport where 3 intuitively positioned checks ensured it stayed all together but for Sir Black Stump who ignored the ‘back check’ arrows of the third and ended up somewhere in Labrador.
But for sheer Hash genius, the co-Hare’s sprinkler flooding of Southport’s Secondary School oval for shiggy purposes was inspired. In critiquing the run, Jigsaw gave it the thumbs up although he felt it had been let down with an abundance of shiggy. He added that his missus would be “really pissed off” at having to clean his muddy Reeboks. A remorseful BallPoint remarked that he had been too quick in dismissing Carefree’s run description of virgin lands and shiggy and that in fact, the run was a beauty. He promised not to judge a book by its cover in the future.

For nosh, the Hash was treated to a feed of deep fried vegetable patties with yogurt sauce (Entree), Vindaloo Beef and mild Curry Chicken with wild rice (Main) and Poached Pear Gateau with creamy custard. A simply outstanding Truckie fare and he was roundly praised for his single handed effort. Veteran was called to crit the nosh which he duly described as first class. “I love a fiery Vindaloo” he explained “particularly the next morning when the mix has been processed and it is banging at the exit, bursting to get out. The relief of the back door blasting open and the contents plastering the porcelain is something to behold.”
Lurch was also very complimentary and, apart from the fact that he’d devoured (prior to the run) a coupla Meat Lovers Specials from his local Dominos, he declared that he would have had a lot more. Consequently, about a third of the night’s nosh was thrown away.

The GM then turned the Circle to a more serious matter. He produced and then read a letter from Leach + Leach Lawyers claiming damages to the tune of $1500 for Queensland Fire Brigade, $300 for the replacement of an antique bath tub and $550 for legals fees. This, as a result of a previous Hash run shenanigans. He further announced that at a hastily convened extraordinary meeting (total expenditure $2450), the Heirarchy moved that a special levy of $50 per member would be imposed to cover the costs of the claim. He then invited Sir Black Stump to accept a well deserved ‘down’ for instigating the legal claim in the first place. But for the lack of ice, the outcry of “Ice the Bastard” from the Circle went unrewarded.
RA Caustic was given the floor and he immediately called in Truck Tyre for being “an absolute pisshead”. Having over indulged in the vin rouge department last friday, a confused and disoriented Truckie was thrown onto a homeward bound bus only to awake the next morning as the bus rolled into Wollongong. For his effort he was also handed the Useless Hash sweater.
Lurch was given a down for being ‘pizza fat’ and for his disrespect vis-a-vis Hashs’ Gourmet ethics.
Flasher was also given a down for being too ‘non-intelligent even by hash standards’. To the quiz question (posed by GM KB): “What the fuck happened in 1866?” Flasher enthusiastically blurted: “The Great Fire of London.” RA explained that he would have accepted a disparity of anything up to 100 years but the 800 years difference was “beyond the fucking joke.”

Fanny Charmer concluded the night’s proceedings with his typical panache. “Prick of the Week this week is very hard” he said “so many to choose from. But I think that I’ve decided that the award should really go to Truck Tyres for no other reason than the fact that I think he perhaps deserves it……….maybe!”

And on that decisive note, the duet Moonbeams and Josephine called the Circle to a close.

Acting On Sec

BREAKING NEWS

In a hot-of-the-press Police statement, all charges and claims against the GCH3 have been dropped. A spokeman for the Leaches has advised that all outstanding debts have been cleared and that the case was now closed. Probed for more details, the spokeman confirmed that the benevolent member of the public did not wish to be identified, however it is widely believed that his initials are TT.
Ps: Message from the Grand Master

Happy Birthday Sir AH. I was so busy feeding the rabble that I forgot to mention your big day and the bottle of Rum in the circle. Trust that you had a great night and enjoyed the Nosh that I cooked especially for you and your Hash mates, to celebrate. On On to many more birthdays.

Title: Mission (really) Impossible.

“Your Mission………should you wish to accept it……..is to find its exact location, record it, and report back to the Hierarchy with your finding.” The Grand Master waxed on: “You should understand that this is the Holy Grails of Secrets, the key to a life in peace because with it, half the world’s population will experience Nirvana and the other half will have more time to play golf and go fishing”.

Final instructions duly spelt out, the pack of eager beaver hashers – looking more like a swarm of wasps in their bright yellow and black attire – set off at great pace in search of the mysterious G-Spot. Notwithstanding the fact that a recent global survey had found that 97.8% of the men polled preferred looking for a golf ball than the elusive G-Spot, the feverish enthusiasm of the swarm was something to behold. Flasher and Sir Black Stump led the charge up Pandanus Avenue and onto the Boulevard with a rampaging Sir Rabbit and Ferret close behind. First ‘check’ was found beside a modest structure with a bloody big G on it. A puffing Piledriver was overheard huffing: “I reckon we could be onto something here fellas” as the rest of the beavers got checking. Josephine, Blue Card and Two Dogs decided that fiddling with the station machines was a better option but pushing flashing buttons, slotting moneys and tapping ‘Go’ cards provided no further clues.

As time passed and the enthusiasm started to wane, there suddenly appeared – out of nowhere – an elongated yellow and black conveyance, like some motorized millipede, winding its way towards the station platform. As it stopped Missing Link got really excited: “It’s the G-Link, it’s the G-Link” he roared, “this will get us there I’m fucking sure of it” and he jumped on with a call of “On, On.” With renewed interest, the swarm followed him and once on board the sniffing resumed apace. Truck Tyres made straight for a Scandanavian looking lass (big round eyes and long blond hair) and parked himself beside her; with his best Norwegian accent TT went straight for the jugular: “You couldn’t tell me where the G-Spot is could you?” Surprised but not embarrassed the young woman replied in the broadest Nerang bogan slang: “Piss off you dirty fuckin’ perv'” and then proceeded to whack him with her tightly rolled New Idea.

The G-Link finally arrived at Broadbeach South, it’s end destination and the next ‘check’ point. It was decided to split the swarm into the ‘flyers’, who would scatter far and wide, and ‘saunterers’ who would keep to the more direct routes. Mackay visitor Wee Wee had nature call upon him and as he ducked around some bushes for relief, the rest of the swarm dispersed and left him to fend for himself. Later, in the Circle, he would cry foul of the Gourmet Hash for lack of hospitality but his were drowned out by a chorus of ‘F&#k off you c#@t f#$k off’.

The hash wasps arrived at the next ‘check’ namely Hooters on the Highway, in dribs and drabs. Suddenly Lurch had a new spring in his step: “It’s gotta be in here” he said as he entered to the screeching sound of “Welcome to Hooooooooters”. The swarm made an instant impression and soon the Hooter girls were busy serving beers in stubbies (for the kegs had not yet been delivered) and handing back pocketful of change in 20 and 50 cent pieces for the lack of bank notes in the tills. But despite the flashy hoopla hoops and the big hooters, the experience left a lot to be desired. And not a G-Spot to be found. Lurch and Cumsmoke looked particularly distraught.

As we were headed back ‘home’, Caustic threw caution to the wind and suggested an additional ‘check’ at his local, The Darcy Arms. The place certainly had a more convivial atmosphere and the beer there flowed out of taps but by this time the mood had turned profoundly dim. Slug captured the spirit best when he said: “fuck the G-Link, fuck the G-Spot, it’s all f#@king bullshit in Australia. That’s why I prefer looking for it in Cambodia or in Thailand. And it’s a shit load cheaper too let me tell you…..”

On, On was called back onto the G-Link for the final leg home. Fanny Charmer, seething with rage, suddenly stood up, removed his freebie t-shirt, and flung it across the carriage onto some bewildered passenger. He would pay dearly for his insolence later that night. The rest of us looked most dejected, disappointed and thoroughly despondent; the failure to even get close to the G-Spot hurt the beavers real bad. Circumference bemoaned: “At least when I lose a golf ball in the rough, I know that If I look hard enough I will always bloody find it”.

The Hare for the night, Aussie, is not known for his culinary prowess. Nor for that matter, is he known for his new-age, PC sensitivity. But he must have sensed from the outset that this Mission would be beyond us and prepared accordingly. The nosh consisted of a delightful array of Coon cheese cubes and savoury Jatz biscuits for entree, followed by (very) rare BBQed marinated Lamb with Cauliflower cheese, and an assortment of boiled peas, carrots and spuds. Apple pie with cream and cinnamon spice completed a fine effort. When requested to crit’ the tucker, Crocodile called it the best Hash nosh he’d had in 6 weeks although he did hasten to add that he hadn’t been to Hash for about 6 weeks. Woodsy went one better when he called it the best Hash nosh EVER, although his brown nose occasionally gives him away. Slug also praised the nosh calling it “fuckin’ fantastic” although he also revealed that he hadn’t eaten any of it due to the fact that it didn’t fit in with his current diet of mung beans, kelp and sesame seeds. Having lost 15 kilos in the past 7 weeks, it is very unlikely that there will be any of Slug left by Xmas.

The Gourmets’ Grand Fromage, Kitchen Bitch, called the Circle and invited guest Wee Wee to a welcoming down (see above for details). Returnees were also welcomed back. BallPoint was particularly chuffed at the rousing reception from all his friends. He explained that he’d returned to Tasmania for a much needed cultural top-up, and that the week spent in Burnie getting to know Senator elect Jacky Lambie had been “absolutely inspiring”.

The Grand Master then inquired about the success of tonight’s ‘Mission’. Rectum drew the short straw and was asked for a brief report to which he replied: “I don’t give a flying fook about no fookin’ G-Spot Grand Master. Why the fook do you reckon I’m fookin’ single?” For his impertinence and general lack of respect he was deservedly awarded the fookin’ ‘Useless’ sweater.

Thereafter the GM headed left field as he selected five candidates to answer a quiz…………..on the subject of trains of all things. And having proven to be abysmally inept in the G-Spot Mission fiasco, the Hash morale was then totally destroyed when not one of the 5 quiz questions was answered correctly. Show Pony called it an “absolute debacle” and no one disagreed with him.

RA Caustic was handed the baton and he proceeded to ice Fanny Charmer for his total lack of respect towards Hash haberdashery. An excellent call and he would also collect the Prick of the Week for his indiscretion. Piledriver was also called in for impersonating a wallflower although it was generally felt that that was being unfair to wallflowers. Next on the ice was Bent Banana, who had earlier remarked that the RA often threatened ‘an icing’ but that he never carry though with his threat. BB was left there to ponder his remark for some time and when he finally was allowed to raise his frozen arse from the ice he left behind a mixture of mustard looking faeces, blood samples and other bits and pieces too shocking to mention.

On that unsavory note, Circle was immediately called to an end, by Miss Palmer
