Devonport Hash House Harriers: Run 1789 from the House of Cheeze

Run 1789 from the House of Cheeze

There were 16 hashers gathered for a combined DH3 and Lunah Hash and Brownlow Medal count at Cheez's gated front gate in front of his palatial palace, eager to head for parts unknown - but were waiting for the late Maggie's Uber 4x4 containing the Trailmaster, and of course Crow.

When the On On was called, the pack found that Cheeze had set trail around and about, up and down, around and about again, and more up and down the surrounds of West Ulverstone. At least the pack only went down the zig zag steps and were able to talk to the cocky at the bottom.

Back at Cheeze's palatial palace (we were allowed inside this time) he served up traditional fare of hot dogs and really hot pies.

Dint did the lip because he did not do it last week.
Downs were awarded to -

Cheeze - for a top run and top food,
GV - 1313 runs,
Lantern - 650 runs which he handballed to Maggie as Lantern now has a no alcohol policy,
Maggie - 414 runs,
TT - 400 runs,
Foghorn - for missing countless runs and welcome back from South America,
Tracka - it would be his birthday the next day,
Pioneer - it would be her birthday the day after the next day,
Maggie - was heard to comment "I'm sick of leading the runners" and he stopped right there.

The raffles were won and won and Soff got the cider, Foghorn got the red, and GV got the beer.

Dint organised the sweep for the Brownlow and found enough willing participants to sell all 20 tickets. Bastard was the winner in drawing Nat Fyfe. Some Hashers actually watched the TV all the time.

Sometime during the early part of the evening, Cheeze's new sex partner Yasmin arrived and promptly found the Bean and really small shot glasses for everyone to have 2 rounds - very nice - the Bean that is. And Yasmin is too - she will get a Hash name if she is still friends with Cheeze next week. Cheeze's dogs Gracie and Ruby seemed to be a little put out for their owners lack of affection towards them now he has other interests.

The Hub is still missing - believed to be somewhere in Asia.

And then the rain came down, and down, and down as everyone was leaving.

Next weeks run will be set by Tracka from Bells Parade, Latrobe.
The run after that will be set by Soff from 40 Esplanade, Turners Beach,
And the run after that will be set by GV TBA,
And the run after that will be set by Crow TBA but probably from the Ozz Rock Inn.

On On

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.)
