RUN 1863
Date :15/7/2013
Location: Parkwood
HARE: Josephine
Runners: 18

We were indeed honoured this week with an appearance by Cum Smoke. Not only a rare appearance but he brought a guest who was quickly named Big Unit due to the fact that he was a Big Unit. Can’t wait to see him chatting with Flasher!

Speaking of Flasher – come back all is forgiven.

About 17 turned up in less than perfect weather. Not bad when you consider there are 16 away competing in the Tour de Philippines. Word coming down the wire is that Nasty has lost his phone on the bike ride but I have it on good authority his fellow riders are looking after it so he is not texting and riding at the same time.

We all gathered for drinks in Josephine’s garage but not content with the level of ambience  he decided to start a fire with what seemed like some old painted timber judging by the smoke billowing from the brazier. Not happy with the level of fire Josephine resorted to a container of kerosene and for a while it seemed like he was going to resemble a protesting monk with a serious case of self-immolation.

Eventually Sir Rabbit who was in charge of the Nosh turned up with his piece de resistance Tuna Mornay. As he had catered for 35 there was no requirement to portion control which was probably fortunate as the first course was non-existent.

The GM called up the circle and Hare Josephine was front and centre. Rectum declared  the run as a nice long run with a few hills but not well marked in the first half. Score 8.5

A second opinion from Veteran also scored an 8.5. An average of 8.5.

Rug gave an insightful opinion on the Tuna Mornay and said it was pretty good but it was a pity he didn’t have any rendering jobs at the moment as it would come in handy – score 8.

Rabbit was given a special mention, a high distinction and a DD for completing 20 half marathons and 40 years married.

DD’s to:

Cum Smokes guest Big Unit

Truck Tyres last to pay

Blackie scrubbed out a set of tyres at $500 each on the Porsche lucky the trailer tyres match

RA Miss Carriage

DD’s to:

• Josephine for training his dog to lick people on the legs
• Caustic reported Mrs Prince only let Sir Prince go to the Philippines because Rectum wasn’t going – Sir Rabbit and Sir AH copped a DD for Sir P in his absence
• Rectum for discovering a stability issue with the trailer

Returners

Cum Smoke, Veteran, and Sir Cumference.

Sir Cumference back from the Land of the Long Weekend told us the Kiwis have a saying….. what happens in the pen stays in the pen.

Next weeks run by Sir Cumference will be somewhere on the Gold Coast – to be advised.

That’s the week that was.

PS. Blue Cards joke for this week ….

After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said …….”Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.

Now … I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, and … I’m sleeping with a 62-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.
