Run Pictures

While the runners were preparing for the evening run, S-Bend, the booze master informs the hash-men to enjoy the run, but when they return, the cost of beers will rise to five dollars each. There was a riot and grumblings from all around. The booze master asks the runners to settle down and be quiet. He enquires what date is tonight. There were answers of April 1st of course. Say no more.  Every one was happy again at beer prices at one dollar each for South African beers.  S- Bend can be a real shit when he wants.

It was notable that this weeks run was cooler and there was cooler weather coming.  This did not bother the many mosquitos that plagued the area this evening. A good dose of repellent did work for those who applied it. This did not stop the mozzies settling onto our fresh and succulent beefsteaks and probosciscating the last drop of half cooked blood out of them. (This was not our politicians) This was our donation to assist the natural environment.

8.25pm.  GM Weekly opens the circle. No Winston Churchill tonight.

Visitors and returning runners.   Into the circle that of Ball Bag, Jig Saw (A shelf re-supply specialist) and Dave from the Gold Coast. He is in the concrete business, but un-like his product, he has gone soft.

Ball Bag explains some wife was nagging her husband about his broken glasses and replacement costs. He could not understand the fuss because it was still on his face.!!!

Hare report. Miscarriage enters the circle. A few runners were off the track and it was difficult getting back on trail as there was a creek to cross. Miscarriage was up the creek with out a paddle, when his fuel system audio warning was beeping to re-fuel. This he did, costing some eighty dollars. The problem was that he was in a diesel vehicle with a full tank of petrol. The vehicle was towed away to be drained and refuelled costing seven hundred dollars. Now no one will have any problem in understanding why he was awarded the Prick of the Week trophy.

Sir Prince went further to explain what happened when Miscarriage tried to use heavy equipment to alter or build up a neighbor’s fence line. Down came the rain and washed it all away. More bucks were spent reconstructing it again. How much money has this hash-man have??!!

Charge from the floor.   Miscarriage phoned S Bend in the early hours in the morning to advise that he was unable to attend the Jazz evening.

To this interruption, and receiving the POW, a down down was ordered to drink from the glass prick.

Nosh report.   There were starters of BBQ farmer’s sausage. It was hot and tasty.  Later came the main meal of BBQ mini steaks, sauces, beetroot, cheese tiles, plenty of onion and even more lettuce. Many bread rolls as desired. It was said that it was much better than good old MacDonald’s burgers, as there was more lettuce and onion.

RA report. Ice Man was the stand-in. He told a joke about a man from Spec Savers. He said he would be retired in the USA in a year.  Where do you see yourself he asked?  The reply was he did not work for Spec-Savers and could not see into the future. LOA.

Next weeks run.  Rug will arrange this.

AGPU. Please note this event will commence at 4.30 pm.

Care Free advises that Sir Black Stump will be involved in a Triathlon this weekend. We wish him well and to keep a sharp eye open on the road ahead.

8.50pm. Circle closed by many runners.

Have you phoned those absent friends? Are you OK mate.??  Of course you all have. Many thanks.

Speak Easy Pictures

Speak Easy Room.  SLSC Main Beach. 30th March.

All attending were looking forward to this Last Hurrah function by the 2018-2019 Hierarchy.

S- Bend in the main, has organized this last event at the ‘Speak-Easy’ Room at Main Beach SLSC.       Many thanks Don.

The function room had a limited space, but the smaller room gave every one the opportunity to get up close and speak easily to every one. Thus the name ‘speak easy’ function room.

The jazz band called “Galapagos Duck” supplied endless music for the evening. We thank all the band members.  John on the Base, Rick playing the Key Board, Willy blowing on the Saxophone and Rod on the Drums, or where ever what surface he pleased to drum on.

The finger food arrived in an endless supply on large platters, finishing later in the evening with great variety of sliced fruit. Rissi, the most accommodating bar assistant kept up the fast pace of service in her most friendly way. The ambiance and lighting was attractive and subdued for a special night out with hash-men gagsters and their Ladies. The white LED string lights gave a canopy of light under the ceiling. It was assumed that Truckie had a hand in arranging this array of LEDs as he often did at hash runs.

It was a very pleasant evening with a cool breeze drifting through and across the room from wide and fully opened windows. This breezy area at the far end of the room was a sweet spot to be in, to appreciate the cooling fresh breeze.

One found if difficult to recognize the rubble of hash men now in gagster attire. It seemed quite strange to be among people whom looked so good in their fancy dress and their ladies looking so elegant in their Flapper dresses and hair fascinators.

Not to be out done by the ladies, Sweat Hog took it upon himself to adore his head with a bower of white feathers he hi-jacked from Paula. He looked like the Taser from Moscow or Kiev. May be like the Royal family of Guedemine or Rurik. After suffering from a hot head, he removed the warm boa and started looking like his normal self.  It was sad.

Mademoiselle Latrine gave an entertaining demonstration of a dance with Cappuccino on the dance floor.  All were impressed.

Sir Botcho was the Press person taking many photographs but later in the evening he ran out of charge. Well, anyway his newly purchased camera required a charge. As he could not do any thing about this, he instead, took a re-charge. He must of re-charged his batteries at home that evenin

It was pleasing to see hash-man Crocodile and his lovely lady back in operation. We all wish him the best on his forth-coming motor home adventure around Australia. Will this be the modern Bonnie and Clyde!!.?

It was pleasing to see Care Free complete with his outstanding red hat, enjoying the evening late into the night. He made a sterling effort chatting to all.

Magician proudly wore his ‘Out of Africa’ head dress to impress.

Time eventually arrived to determine the Best Dressed couple from many others. This status was awarded to Pepe Le Pew and his Lady Sonia. They actually sole the show. Well done.

Next was the best Gangster and Mol. This was to be, Slab and Lady Frederica.

All the other Gangster hash-men, complete with machine guns to inflatable six shooters, were called onto the dance floor to determine Best Gagster dress. It was noticed that Sir Two Dogs and Sir Rabbit had already had their suit cases or their musical containers packed to spend the evening away. Were they not told that this was not a Cruise Ship deal!! ? Square Root walked away with this award.

All dressed-up Gangsters were awarded a complimentary Galapagos music CD for their efforts.

A fine fun evening indeed. Many thanks S-Bend.    Sorry to see a few friends that could not attend.

Please phone them and ask, are you OK mate.???

Run Pictures

Arriving at the park, runners were placing their gear on the tables while Truckie with Magician’s help, were hanging up LED lights. Truckie has a slight height problem getting elevated to hang the LED string lights across the roof timbers. Along came Magician and with his tall frame and with the aid of short ladder, positioned the lights high up under the roof. Switching them on,  there was light for kilometres around.

The run and walk went around the local lake and runners found it was a comfortable run on a well  chalked arrows on  the pavements.The evening was rather hot and humid and most runners were eager to kiss a bottle of beer supplied by our booze master on their return.

After downing an ale or two the runners were offered tomato soup in a cup with whole grain wheat bread and butter.

The main course of the evening was pasta shells toped up with rich beef mince with a good helping of fresh salads. The desert was sliced peach with generous dollops of yoghurt.

We could not, but hear the clatter of falling eating utensils connecting with the cold concrete floor. Yes. It was Truckie trying to dig out several knife and folks from his bag which he seemed to have collect over several months. If a runner has a missing  fork of knife, ask Trucky for one. He has many in his hash bag.

8.10 pm. Circle opened by GM Weekly, AKA Winston Churchill.

Visitors and returning runners.   Sir Slab took a down down in the circle.

He also presents our GM with a Travel Bag, one similar to first class Virgin flights. Several items were shown and the sexual instructions were read out aloud on the particular use of these items. In short this was a travellers  sex aid box.

Hare report.   This was a good run on a warm evening, it was well marked and all runners returned safe and sound. Two Dogs and Magician while in the circle also agreed it was a well marked run  around the suburb and had a few good looking Shelias walking around.

Walk report.  The GM asks that these reports be a bit more serious as the report is the basis on which end of year rewards be given to hash-men.

Slug gave the food report. He enjoyed the spicy tomato soup and all was good.

POW.  Magician enters the circle. He mentions he had a lot on his mind and had forgotten to bring the trophy.

Caustic mentions how Bent Banana mis-read his speed and was travelling X?km in a X?km km zone.  Well, not for long any way. He was stoped. Blah, blah.

Charge from the floor. A story was told about Blue Card who weekly meet up for a bicycle ride with riding mates. He quickly parks his car, rushes to open the boot to remove his bike. With complete disbelief his bicycle is missing. No it was not stolen, in the rush he forgot to pack it into his  car boot. How cruel can mates be?!!  Truckie instructed the down down.

There was a complaint from KB as Magician, the soup cook, pours a ladle of soup in KB’s wine glass that still had red wine in it. There is no satisfying every one.

Sweat Hog gives a story about an army Captain who meet a strange and small looking man on his travels in Africa. It is believed that he looked strange as he told the much feared witch doctor to make a sexual departure. Sir Circumference did the down down.

S-Bends was found guilty trying to sell hash property. This was a huge Ice Box. Proceeds will be going on the Jazz function.   Truckie was instructed to give the the down down for S-Bends actions.

Birthday Boy.  This was Pepe Le Pew. He was absent but in true hash-man spirt he supplied a slab of birthday beers for his mates. This was well received and a photo of the empty container will be forwarded to him in appreciation. Many thanks from all runners and walkers.

GM reminds all present to return past trophies to enable them to be engraved.

GM Weekly beckons FA, the ON On Sec into the circle and to kneel down. GM advised that a hash name is to be changed to a new one.  After  the Knighting, the named  now is  “Square Root”.   A down down followed for the occasion. Every one knows that the Sq Root of five eights is. Just think about this. The clue is in this sentence.!!!

Sir Botcho reminds all hash-men about the pending lunch in Brisbane. This will be a fun day with mates and a cold beer or two.

Splinter lunch on Friday 29th March at Sardjions Italian Restaurant. Surfers. Meet about 11.30am.

Next weeks run.  Miscarriage will mark this run.

Saturday 30th March is the Speak Easy function at Main Beach. It starts at 5.30pm.

Quote of the week by Winstone Churchill.     “Socialism is philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent viture is the equal sharing of misery.”

8.45pm.   Circle closed by Foxtrot and Square Root.

Please phone one absent mate. Are you OK mate?

Run Pictures 

This night looked like the heavens will open up and pour rain. But it turned out fine for the night.

Our booze master gave the normal run down on the price of beer and wines. Remember do not crush your tin cans.

Then it was off to do the run or walk. For some it was a breeze as a tram ride took them to Waxy’s for a free cold pint, of any favorite beer. To add to our pleasure a free green Irish hat and a black peak cap was given out to all.  We looked like drunken Irishmen in green top hats.

During the consumption of our favourite ale we all enquired where Ice Man was. We were informed that as he did not know that we were all upstairs, and that he had missed his mates and had returned. He missed out on a really good coldie.

Then it was off again to the meeting place of our circle and the Irish stew. Another talkative tram ride back for most runners.

On arriving back we were pleased to indulge in the evening nosh of hot Irish stew and plenty of bread rolls and butter. This was followed by ice cream on a stick. For those that were extra hungry, they could have second helpings from the bottom of the hot pot. This had an extra tangy and smoked taste.

8.20pm.   The GM opens the circle as the hero of Winston Churchill ,complete with his bell on the walking stick.

Returning runners and Walkers.    These were Aussie, whom returned from overseas, Dion from the Maryborough area, and Eddie from Asia. A down down was directed  for them.

Ice Man explained how he did not manage to join all the other runners at Waxy’s. Together with Seat Hog and Proxy, they were down downed.

RA report.    The weekend car rally in the Scenic Rim was greatly praised, and all who took part appreciated all the efforts and work to achieve this function. A great credit to Mad Mike and Truckie. S- Bends mentions how much fun it was and adds that a happy wife makes a happy life.  A very well deserved down down was ordered for these very great hash men. Congratulation’s go to the three top finalists.  Dr Death/ Double Trouble, Magician/ Dildo and Bren Gun/ Jan.  Well done.

Charge from the floor.    Aussie, while in Waxy’s Irish bar tries to locate his wallet. He mistakes another and looks for a few bank notes. With astonishment his wallet is comlpely empty. He soon realizes that this particular wallet belongs to Truckie. With relief Aussie finds his own wallet with oodles of cash. That was a close call.

Next victim was Proxy, the nights hare. He forgot to order Irish beer.  A down down was in order for these hash men.

Mad Mike gave the car rally summary and results. Results will be posted on the web. The runners appreciated his efforts and applause was freely given.

Proxy told a joke where an elephant’s trunk was transplanted and what havoc it caused.

Rug explained about drinking larger that makes things go limp, where as Guinness beer made things larger and harder.

Aussie asked Proxy to explain why he had changed his residence to another area.

The RA informed that we humans are the only animals that stutter in our speech. Little Jonny at school thought different when a Bull Terrier attacked his cat.

There was another joke about Irish high-rise workers who vowed to throw them self’s off the building in protest about their tasteless sandwiches that their wives made. They went over the edge including the Irishman who made his own lunch.

There will always be a runner who wants to try out his new running shoes hashing. Well, the GM noticed Pepe Le Pew. Off came one of his shoes and it was filled with a light brown liquid that he drank very quickly to avoid passing out. He is lucky as his left behind shirt from last week, was returned fully washed and pressed by Mrs. Weekly. Now that’s service.

The circle did not forget Kwakka’s birthday. He was thanked for his gift of the evening’s beer. And in return a birthday chorus was cheerfully song for him.

There is a hierarchy meeting Wednesday 20th March 2019 at 9.30am at Main Beach Surf Club.

G M Weekly Churchill quotes.

1. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”.
2. “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
3. “You have enemies? Good. That means you’re stood up for something, some time in your life.”

9.50pm.   Circle closed.
