Devonport Hash House Harriers: Wet Tee Shirt Run

Wet Tee Shirt Run

Recent run???

Run 1751.

The Caravan Park Run, or the Water Pistol Run, or the Wet Tee Shirt Run - your call! And so about 20 or so hashers met in front of the Oz Rock Inn armed with various devices that propel water to make you wet. With a combination of a bucket thrown about by Cheez, the big gusher pointed around by Flasher, and various other weapons, most hashers were wet before On On was called.

And so the pack left the Inn, heading west before encountering Indians, then a stroll along the beach heading east. It was noticeable that the trail did not pass through the Caravan Park - wonder why?

The pack regathered adjacent to the new toilet block at the eastern end of the Buttons Creek sometime caravan park and refilled their weapons. And so the battle commenced. Not much of a battle really, not many kids, not many vans, but those that participated enjoyed. Except a little feller who got a bit upset after receiving a concentrated field of fire.

On arriving back at the Inn, some Hashers took advantage of Crows big pool in front of the Inn and made sure they were completely wet by immersing themselves fully clothed. Those that were wearing thin tee shirts were most spectacular (photos anyone?? - ed.).

Back at the Inn, the firepot was on fire and doing the right thing about warming those with thin teeshirts. Somewhere along the line, some CD's were found and it has been established that a female can, by using her anatomy, stop 5 CD's from falling to the ground (photos again??).

Crow provided fish and chips - all very nice except those at the front of the queue heaped their plates with chips so those at the back of the queue missed out on the chips - but the fish and salad was nice.

As it was Lip time, Bastard made the announcement that he and Cheeze would do the Lip for the rest of the year following on from FC's decision to forgo that role.

Some notable downs included - Cheeze 505 runs, GV 1290 runs, Poxie 510 runs, Soff (that's me) 780 runs, Bastard 1020 runs and Eweturn 15 runs.

As the Hub was not present (probably still on the side of the Bass Highway outside Lantern's place waiting for Bald Eagle to come by - which he did not) it did not pass go.

Poxie (welcome back) got a down for responding to GV's txt three times yes.

The raffles were won and lost - and I lost again - numbers either side!

Crow brought out a cask of port - wonderful everyone thought - but it was half empty. But he did bring out another half empty bottle of something special.

Next weeks run is at the Henry Somerset Reserve, on the Latrobe to Railton Road, set by Tracka with the On On back at Bells Parade.
The run after that is from the Rotunda at Port Sorell, set by Rachet and Knickers, (confirmed) and those with motorcycles will meet at Crows by 6pm for a ride to the run. If you want to be a pillion, ask around.

OFFICE BEARERS

Grandmaster – Flasher Joint masters – Tracka & Tinsel Hash hops – Cheese Hash lip – Gyno Lower lip – Crow Hash cash – Bald Eagle Hash monk – Killer Rig raffle – Crow Hash Flash – Rumpole Hash web – Gone again On sec – Shagadelic Trailmasters – Maggie, Flasher Who needs a Hash Monk, haven't had one for years and the sun still shines...

And incidentally,....

1. HASH HOPS: This is unquestionably the most important position in the hash. The Beermeister has the weighty responsibility of making sure that the lifeblood of hashing is available at each and every hash event. He keeps constant vigilance to find the cheapest spirituous fermenti available, always has coolers in the trunk of his car, cases of beer in his garage, and reliably returns the empty keg to get another full one for the next hash. While this might be a "pain in the ass" job, it's undoubtedly the most important one to the hash.

2. GRAND MASTER: The head hasher. The chairman of the board. The big cheese. The HMFIC. The guiding light. Gispert's legacy. The GM is not simply a figure head for the hash, rather (s)he personifies the hash's character (or lack thereof.) (S)he leads with a dynamic strength that permeates the fabric of the organization. Both directly, and through the hash officers, (s)he gives inspiration, direction, and vision to all. This position ranks only below Beermeister, Hash Cash, Hash Mouth, Hash Flash, and On-Sec in real importance to the hash.

3. HASH HAWKER or HABERDASHER: This is a person who has a flair for fashion, a head for business (who said head?), and the showmanship of P.T. Barnum. (S)he's responsible for the design, procurement, warehousing, merchandising, and vending of items of apparel and various trinkets to the hash. Prior flea market or circus midway experience preferred.

4. HARE RAISER: The Hare Raiser makes sure that there's a hare (or hares) for each hash, and that the start location is known to the On-Sec well in advance of hash day for publicity purposes. The Hare Raiser IS the hare if (s)he can't find anyone else to do it.

5. HASH CASH: The holder of the purse-strings. Someone needs to dash about the start of each hash begging for money. Someone has to keep track of what comes in and what goes out (commonly referred to as "the old in and out.") These generally unappreciated duties fall on the shoulders of the Hash Cash. This trustworthy soul must withstand the whining of the Hares who have overspent, the whimpering of those who forgot their fees, and the interrogations of those who mistakenly think there should be some sort of accounting for hash funds.

6. HASH FLASH: The person who captures for posterity all embarrassing hash moments on film. The hash flash must have an acute sense of the absurd to know what to take photos of, and also a small degree of reliability to bring a camera, film, take pictures, have them developed and put only the finest thereof into the sacred photo album.

7. HASH HARLOT: A trashy wench who has seen the dark side of hashing... and likes it! One with a lust for life who, revels in being the butt of the jester's ribald wit, the object of the songster's bawdy lyric, and the centrepiece of sensual repartee at all hash functions.

8. TRAIL MASTER or HASH HORN: Equipment requirements: A bugle or other appropriate wind instrument. Performance venue: The hash trail. Musical ability: Optional.

9. LIP : The hash mouth runs the official business at the On-On with an iron hand. (S)he must be loud, clear, passionate, articulate, humorous and possess an uncommon ability to think on his feet. It also helps if (s)he speaks English.

10. HASHIT KEEPER: This is arguably the most complicated position within the hash hierarchy. The responsibility surrounds custody of a large cardboard box (or entire house) filled with the flotsam and jetsam of past hashes. Precisely why this crap is retained is a mystery shrouded in the mythology of hashdom. However, the hashit itself rarely makes it to the hash, although the custodian is usually there himself. This reinforces the argument that remembering to bring the hashit is probably beyond the cognitive ability of your average hasher.

11. ON-SEC: This position is the masochist's dream. (S)he struggles with piles of paper, miles of computer wire, and might attempt to occasionally produce a Hound Directory or Hash Trash to keep the hash members somewhat informed. (S)he is the principal "outside" representative maintaining the Harrier.Net Worldwide WebSite, the hash membership data base. Boring stuff to say the least.

12. RELIGIOUS ADVISOR: Keeper of the faith. Enforcer of the scriptures. This is the hasher who has seen the light (Bud light) and can taste in his soul the true spirit of Hashing. The religious advisor spreads the word and inspires the zest and zeal of the hash in all participants. Any hasher found transgressing the spirit of hashing is disciplined by the RA. (S)e is the keeper of the sacred Laws of Hashing and comes up with sufficiently plausible lies to cover any serious questions of propriety of actions within the hash.

13. SONGMEISTER: This is a hasher with no self-respect. (S)he never lacks for a song suitable to the occasion. His songs are risqué, lewd, and vulgar. The Songmeister speaks with other hashers and hashes to acquire songs to add to the hash hymnal. The mission is to explore new tunes and new celebrations. To boldly go where no Songmeister has gone before (pardon the split infinitive.)
