In a world first for hashing the GC hash went 3 weeks into the future
with its runs. Hopefully the successful lotto numbers in 3 weeks time
will also be available and we can put them on and clean up when we
revert back into the past. This Monday evening turned out to be an
absolute beauty in more ways than one. Finely the humidity dropped and
was replaced by cooling sea breezes. Then a great milestone party was
celebrated by all who attended. Unfortunately, our guest hasher,
Showpony, couldn’t make it and we are all thinking of him as he battles
through his illness. In his absence, Shetland, son of Showpony, fronted
and ran the legs off most hashers on the run.
The regular run and walk were just simple time passing events for those
wanting to get a thirst up and appetite for what lay ahead of them.
First up was a slab of Budweiser leftover from President Don’s
inauguration party which the booze masters had sourced online. The
kitchen department had opened and cheese,Jatz and kabana were served.
Next up in the beers were the traditional Aussie brands which were so
popular, that Bent Banana had to make a pub visit and get some extra
supplies. Not to be forgotten, before the wall goes up, the Mexicans
were remembered and chilled Coronas surfaced at the back end of the
evening.
Meanwhile the 2050 milestone good quality T-shirts were handed out by
Shat and Ferret, just in time for this hash to celebrate the Chinese New
Year in Nerang next Monday evening, at Ball Point’s promised feast . A
little bit of red wine was spilled on Shat’s new white shirt which no
doubt will be the norm for many hashers shirts in the future. Sir
Botcho, Kitchen Bitch and Sir Prince Valiant had worked bloody hard
behind the scenes to organise the feast that was now ready for the
assembled queue to devour. There were salads, breads, prawns, chicken
and to top it all pavlova. It didn’t seem to matter how many times
hashers went back to reload their plates, there was still plenty
leftover.
Sooner or later, the milestone group photo needed to be taken and
visitor Plucker stepped up to the plate to help out. The GM called the
circle and Circumference as hare got a spray from Missing Link about the
boring run before his down down. The walkers seemed to have a better
time in the swamp by the sound of it. The hash naming of Clive resulted
from his current employment efforts which apparently are Fuck All. The
RA entered with the CIA security joke from the inauguration – Donald,
Duck ! Early arrivals at the venue had tipped off the RA about a local
copper who had pulled over a hasher and put the bag on him as he arrived
at the run site. Apparently the number plates on the hasher’s motor
vehicle used to belong to some Scottish criminal with a warrant out for
his arrest. Finally the over zealous copper
gave up when he found out the hasher knew a little bit more about the
law than he did. Well done, Fanny Charmer, for telling the coppers to
get their shit together and update their records. You would think
Officer Dibble should have been able to pick a Spaniard from a Scotsman.
Speaking of Scotsmen, rumour has it that another hasher was doing the
back streets rat run on the way home and forgot to stop at the Stop sign
and got sprung by the local copper who uses it as a good little revenue
raiser. Down down to Fanny Charmer.
Missing Link , on his 801 run, got a down down for joining the 800 runs/
probably well over $15000 spent club. A couple of Sirs who have been
absent of late were welcomed back with a down down, namely Sir Prince
and Sir Rabbit.
Shetland,as a stand in for Showpony, was welcomed and given a down down.
Current POW , Blue Card, called out all of President Don’s Gold Coast
hash’ card carrying members and it would seem by the numbers he is more
popular in our hash and even Russia (where the champagne corks popped)
than he currently is in the USA. As Swindler had won a $100 bet on the
outcome of the election, he became the popular choice for POW.
The milestone run brought out a few old hashers for a down down namely –
Piss Stop, Plucker and these days the leather clad bikie Cum Smoke who
no doubt will be under the microscope of the coppers if he wears his
colours in public.
The kitchen crew were rewarded with down downs for their preparation and
serving of the seafood and chicken feast.
Moonbeams closed the circle to RPR 33.

Truck Tyres stepped up to the plate as a late replacement hare for the
New Year run in what is well known as Caustic Crusader’s hashing
territory. A cursory glance of the BOM website revealing a massive
weather system slowly creeping towards the GC from down Byron Bay way
was the stimulus for the GM to show some leadership and get the show on
the road in the absence of the hare. So up the hills through the
lantana, the pack headed east and onwards towards the boardwalk around
Fleay’s wildlife sanctuary. Most hashers dropped off at various stages
to head home for some icy cold refreshments. However Hot Dick, Flasher,
Miscarriage and Magician struggled through the humidity and did the
whole alleged 9 klms. If that was the case, on the times they did, then
they would have all medalled in the long distance events in the 1956
Melbourne Olympic Games.
The hare had been sighted during the run, at the venue, setting up the
trailer before he was off again until returning, so at various stages he
had set up , shopped and got the nosh organised as Kitchen Bitch
assisted. Under threatening skies, an early circle was called and Truck
Tyres was called up and he brought with him some entrée dips. High
marking run critic, Flasher, was asked to comment on the run and
enthused that it was – A Fucking Good Run, the best so far in 2017 !
Shat told a story about the adventures of several hashers while
travelling to the December Splinter Hash lunch on the G light rail. In a
comedy of errors, the hashers tried to get out of the doors and get off
on the wrong side of the platform and while trying to hit buttons to get
off the train, it took off. Hard On, Swindler and Bren Gun were the
comedy team involved and apparently their antics brought tears to the
little old ladies seated in their carriage on the light rail around
them. All of this took place on the way to lunch, while they were all
completely sober.
Returning hasher from SE Asia, the Big O was called out and began
telling a story about his dick and rubbing crocodile oil on it and then
about something falling out of a tree and as all agreed the story was
too confusing he was given his down down and evicted from the circle.
Hot Dick now a permanent resident of Randwick in that cockroach infected
state south of Coolangatta was given a down down and then mentioned his
island holiday home in the Pacific playground is available for hash use.
Miscarriage who went south to Melbourne, over the festive period, to do
some work for his father had another tale of misfortune of missing keys
, searching Bunnings in Preston, $754 later and all because of hash
issued shorts with no pockets in them and to top it off another hash
farcup with the spelling on the reverse side of his milestone shirt
emblazoned with incorrect spelling – MISCARRAIGE. Two Dogs, a
representative of the previous committee involved in those giveaway
matters was called up and took a coldie for that committee’s role.
Current POW from December 2016, Ferret, has carried over the award into
the New Year and it will be offloaded at next week’s run when a hare and
venue have been organised. Kitchen Bitch has jumbo Santa suits for sale
at $7.50 each. After you have had them for awhile, they may even go down
on you
The circle was quickly closed as Truck Tyres announced it was time to
serve up tasty wraps of chicken, ham, salad and condiments. As all
munched away on the nosh, a couple strolled up to the tables and asked
if the hash were using the Girl Guides hall beside where the
tables/chairs had been set up. They advised that their group wanted to
use it and we could join them if we liked. An inquisitive hasher asked
what they did in the hall and when told, he replied – No thanks , we
are a masticating group, not a meditating group and invited them to join
us to which they politely declined. The GM supplied a carton of Jap
birthday beers to the delight of all and they complimented the meal.
A little bit of rain , some lighting and thunder signalled that it was
time to get the flock out of there. Truck Tyres rushed out the desserts
of tinned fruits and ice cream and it was quickly consumed as the
heavens opened up and hashers made a run for their transport .
After another evening of good times , Truck Tyres has set the benchmark
for GC hashing in 2017.
This run brought up the RPR number 30 milestone.
Yours in hashing
