Well,  after my maiden run set and big catering effort to meet the Gourmet Hash standards –  which are Michelin 5 star, I was press ganged by our eminent GM Weekly, to act as scribe in the absence of FA. My second  maiden event  in two weeks –Crikey, talk about being thrown in the deep end!

The pack met in Bruce Small Park adjacent to the tavern, for a 5.00 pm. start.  (Thinking of Bruce Small – I had a red 24 inch Malvern Star bike as a kid in Launceston), it was again cold, but unlike last week not wet. There were – drum roll, wait for it!  More runners than walkers. At first it appeared that it was a record in the recent anals of GCHHH, the trend of ageing and thus walking had been reversed, but alas this was not so, as on return, a number of non – walkers were lurking around the car park. Is this a third category forming? runners, walkers and non-walkers??

The run went north through the park into streets, then in to a huge waterway leading to a big manmade lake where the runners peeled off around the south side of the lake and walkers returned via streets. Run 6 km. Walk 3.5 km. Trail was well marked (Blackie has had heaps of experience) Apart from that it was a pleasant enough trail with a mix of parkland and street. Blackie actually ran the trail too !!

We then piled in to our chariots to Blackies canalside joint. He had the usual set up around the pool with seating for all. As an Oktoberfest run it supposedly had a German flavour.

The circle was called by GM Weekly,. Fanny C reported on the nosh and stated that after twenty years Blackie who must be a slow learner,had finally got the spag bol right. However it was less German and  more like a World Culinary Fiesta. The Oetinger Pils was top German stuff. But the entree of cabana, cheddar and crackers was reminiscent of an Australian 1950’s wedding shower, minus the toothpicks with chunks of pineapple and coloured mini pickled onions. The main was excellent spag-bol, but this dish is from south of the European Alps, the land of Mussolini, not Hitler. The dessert was excellent but from west of the Rhine, the land of De Gaulle, French cheesecake but at least German Ice cream-  as it was from Aldi.

The GM got the circle going and called for returning  runners, Jiggy eagerly stepped forward (been in Vietnam on a motor bike for 800 km. With no licence and thus no travel insurance cover, obviously not in to risk management, he likes to live on the edge), hoping for a free drink, but he was sent humiliatingly  back for not been away long enough, nobody else qualified either.. I noticed Hardon back prematurely from the Portuguese cycle epic, he had a healh event, but he looked healthy enough to last at least until after next Xmas.

GM held SOW award back for next week as miscreants away. Proceedings  were continually interrupted by Fanny C with his fart machine punctuating all speeches. I heard that he uses this at home for genteel dinner parties with his cultured friends. This together with honking from the GM’s baby horn gave a German effect, sort of like the Berlin Symphony Orchestra

• Hare Blackie got a down down for being the hare
• Arsenic got one for not returning his passport from the recent bike event.

Gm reported 45 booked for Melbourne cup lunch, so it is almost full – hurry if you want to get a seat.

Charged from the floor –

• Now Loved currying favour with the GM by returning a lost property mug.
• Fanny C for his continual rude interruptions with his fart machine (he reckons it is a duck quack).
• Jiggy for accusing Now Loved of drinking down down dregs (but it was probably true).
• Fullershit for standing in the rain – I forget where and when, but I guess he got wet.
• Bent Banana was reported by Exelpet for lurking in the bush and doing part of the run in reverse, and being around Flasher too much, is Flasher his Guru???

Wrong Way Woodsy was presented with his Old Farts Cap he had achieved the 150 runs required in the amazing space of only 25 years. But he claimed he had done more and the records were corrupted, he would say that!. He also pointed out he had been MIA for 25 years, does that also mean he clips 25 years off his age, making him in fact to be about 50 years old ??? He did not display young age behaviour when drinking his down down,  he got his mug tangled in the peak of his new Old Farts Cap and nearly pulled it off, oh dear what old age does to one.

WWW  also claimed to have sponsored GCHHH very first ever run with petty cash destined  for car repairs at his then employer Avis. That is embezzlement,  No wonder rental cars are so expensive.

Winston Churchill’s quote for the week –

“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Next week’s run by Missing Link at Cascade gardens and he promises hamburgers actually containing real meat.Hmmmm we will see.
Circle closed by Fanny Charmer at 8.00pm.

Monday 24^th September 2018.

Chevron Island. 19 Runners.

This night was cold with a keen wind that made the runners shiver and seek a warmer jacket. Mademoiselle Latrine adored himself with a black garbage bag. Rain was eminent but the enthusiastic runners wore a bright face and commenced the run anyway.

Bren Gun, the hare and cook did a wonderful job ferrying whole hams, bread, tomatoes, fresh lettuce and sauces from his residence. Sir Botcho did a great job in carving up the ham.  The ice cream with blue berries appeared a little later. There was no need to keep the ice cream in the deep freezer this evening.

8:10pm.  Circle opened. GM Weekly arranged the hash trailer to be removed from the park area. As Bren Gun would be in the area next day, this was tasked to him.

Visitors.   This was Rice Man. He was welcomed in the circle with a down down.

Returning runners.  These were Mademoiselle Latrine, Link and Caustic. These guys were globetrotting and had interesting stories to tell. A down down to these guys as well.

Run report.    Exelpet said it was a good run in the cold night but he thought a nasal spray would be good to have on this cold evening.

1. The RA is away on a 4×4 adventure so he could not join the evening run. He was given a down down all the same for being such a good fellow.

A reminder was given about our future events. The Oktoberfest and the GM luncheon are the big events happening soon.

The GM was challenged in keeping the circle together while it was raining. When he looked up from his notes, no one was around him. He turned around to see where the runners where. They were all sheltering under the tree with the scribe whom had difficulty making notes on soaking wet writing paper. We noticed that the GM had droplets of water running off his nose. May be Exelpet was right that runners needed that nasal spray tonight. There were no more down downs as it was coming down.

Winston Churchill. Quote of the evening.

“The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery.”

Good report/ feed back.     Hello mate. Are you OK?

PS: 5pm start next week

8:20pm. Fanny Charmer closed the circle.

The night was cool with a strong wind blowing as it has been doing for some days.

On returning, the runners explained they had some difficulty in finding some arrows and the trail disappeared. The arrows were marked by the hare little knowing that later during that day, a fence was erected and the road closed, as there were pavement repairs in progress.

But the smell of hamburger patties and fried onions on the BBQ relaxed the runners and they looked forward to the night’s meal. The hamburgers and all the fillings and side dishes was followed by ice cream on a stick.

8:30pm. Our GM Weekly called on Sweet Hog to give the run report. A little disappointed, as the arrows were invisible as for the above reason.

Sir Jo added to comment that all runners were on trail as there was no trail to follow. Also for the above reason.

Food report, by Bent Banana.  For his cooking efforts, Aussie was given a down down.

Future or coming events.  These are the Oktoberfest 1^st October. Contact Blackie.  The Grand Master Luncheon on the 4^th November. The runners were asked to book early to assist planning.  V 8 handicap 15^th October

RA report.    Sir Black Stump was congratulated on his achievements in last weekend Triathlon. He was in the pack of the first 200 of several hundred participants.  Note that this Triathlon will not be contested again in the near future on the Gold Coast. Well done. A down down was also in order for this iron man.

There were three birthday boys. These were, Sir Rabbit, Sir Botcho and Foxtrot Oscar (May be the other way around) They were encouraged into the circle and with their mugs charged, other runners sang the birthday choirs. A down down followed.

We were all pleased to see Rock Hard after his long absence from recovery. All the hash members wish him well and sorry that there was only a short time that we could chat and wish him well, before he left. I am sure many of us will keep in contact with him. Are you OK mate?

The RA told a joke about the Irish hole digger. On fellow dug the hole while the other filled it in. There was a third guy but he was off work ill.

The acting booze master will be Poxy.

Truckie will be away and on the move for the next couple of weeks. Any offers on collecting the hash trailer and delivering it to the run next week.

The recent bike run passport answers to be handed to the GM for transmission to Council.

Bren Gun will arrange next week run. This is his first set run as a hare so please support this evening. He is going to do his best to keep up the high standards of hash runs.

Sweat Hog announces a big thank you to all of those supported his endeavor to raise monies in support of the Prostrate Cancer Foundation of Australia. He has exceeded expectations of donations.

Sweat Hog has also organized a 4×4 run and adventure trip through the Simpson Desert. The RA will be away for two weeks having fun on the bush adventure. Donations have also been received from each driver. Many thanks for this hash man in his charity in helping other men.

Run Pictures……………………………………..

This run was kindly held at Fanny Chamer’s residence in Broadbeach. A long under cover car parking space was most suitable and well lit for the nights gathering.

The run was around the suburb and over cannel bridges.

To keep the runners hunger pains at bay on their return, very hot beef pies were made available to them

8: 15pm. Circle opened by GM Weekly as Winston Churchill with his usual cigar in mouth.

Visitors.  These were Sour Puss (Kiwi land) and Soft Cock (Sweat Hogs Brother from Toowoomba).

GM calls on KB and Fanny Chamer to enter the circle. The GM congratulates them on the excellent nosh prepared tonight. A hot and tasty Spanish dish of PIELLA with fair amount of seafood for flavors. There was also a chicken curry and plenty of salads for other runners. This was followed by the favorite ice cream on a stick.

Run Report.  Sweat Hog mentions it was a fair run even that some of the pink arrows did peter out. A debate followed about the check -back arrows.

Walk Report.     S-Bends comments on that duration of about 47 min was just right. Botcho was invited to give the Down Down.

1. There is a charge from the floor for Bren Gun. He was allowed to tell a story about travelling in Germany in a new Mercedes. A slab of beer placed on the back seat shot forward on sharp braking, puncturing a can of beer, which sprayed all of its contents on the interior of this prestige car. Bent Banana gave the Down Down.

A further floor charge was directed to Ball Point for parking across a neighbors drive way. He was Down Downed by KB.

Our birthday boy this night was our adored Fuller Shit. In true tradition a birthday choirs was sung for his special day.

The RA tells a joke about an old flatulent husband. His wife prepares a turkey roast and she placed the bloody intestines of this bird, into the sleeping shorts of her sleeping husband. He awakens and tries to replace these turkey instines where he thinks they came from him, while asleep.

Arse Nic is thanked from standing in for another runner’s tasks.

Booze Report.    Proxy will be the stand in booze master.

Please note that there will only be wine next week instead of beer. This will be a wine night and those wishing to bring their own bottle, $5.00 corkage will be asked.

Ice man enquired if any runner will be interested in attending the Saturday Rugby game with a group of mates. Please advise and he will organize a time to meet.

GM will be forwarding the recent Southport bike ride passport answers to the City Council to issue the certificate for completion.

A reminder was given about the GM Luncheon on the 4th November. Please book and pay ASAP.

Sir Rabbit was asked about being the cook next week. Sir Rabbit replied, saying he knew nothing of this and that he was doing Fuck All.   No he is not.  Well, let it be known that Fuck All is not into those kinky things.!!

Ball Point was pushed into the circle for having his own little circle in progress with others.  A Down Down for this unacceptable behavior. GM now is in favor of the icings as punishment.

Quote of the week.  By Winston Churchill.

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on”.

8: 45pm. Circle closed.
