Run Report for Run 1758

Subject: Run 1758

As you would expect, for a run in a new territory, the regular late comers were more than late - one would expect that Thrust and Dint would make allowances for travelling to a virgin run, but not. That's their problem! The signage was good.

Boner, not having set a run before (he had help when we had On On's at his previous places), sort my assistance as Trailmaster earlier in the week to pass on the finer details of setting a trail.

And what a trail he set. Must have been about 2kgs of flour up and down following the Leven River for a little while, then up this great big hill. Did I forget to mention that we had a drinks stop by the river around this lovely picnic setting - the tide was in so it was pretty special. (Thank Bruce - those that watch 7 will know what I mean).

The runners were sent on their extra special extra distance around and about a quarry and some more really great big hills. As it turned out the wankers and the runners all got back to the On On about the same time. Good one Boner.

So we all gathered around a fire and a BBQ (which was new and not working too well) and eventually all the red meat was cooked over the fire BBQ and Dint was invited to be the first (needed no reminder).

Dint did the Lip and some of the significant downs were -

. Crow 797 runs

. Thrust 299 runs and for a bit of practice

. Eweturn 21

. Synco because he has been missing and is still in lust with Bedpan

. Captain Crab because as the Maggiemobile with Crow and Soff travelled down Reibey Street in Ulverstone to the run - we had to stop because we could not get around this vehicle parked outside the Red Grasshopper at 45 degrees from the footpath. We guess he is getting out cash from the ATM which is better than paying by cheque. And he calls himself a tour guide. Bloody hell!!!

As it turned out Boner had a brother at the On On as well as his father Geoff and Judy. Mark is now known as Mongrel and Geoff and Judy were fortunate that they did not get named officially. Not too late!

As the Hub did not appear - Tripple Top still continues to have it.

Crow was back and had some tales to tell of his experience at the Royal Hobart Hospital and more so coming back. It seems he has a leaky heart valve and is now waiting to see what options the Doctors will provide. It is not life threatening!

But all that pales into nothingness when on the way home with 1080 driving, a truck and trailer combination did the wrong thing and another truck nearly wiped them out - the dent behind the rear passengers door on the drivers side on the Subaru shows how close it was. I think Crow and 1080 were glad to get home!

The raffle was won and lost and lot's of pick me's and so on. Wankers!

Ou thoughts are with Truck Fucker and High Beem, and to Feels on Wheels (Dec) and Trish on their loss of family.

Next weeks run is at Fanny May's and Gone Again's (is he still here?) he is and is looking for some like minded people to travel with him and female hashers from Melbourne to WA on bicyles with some assistance from battery power. He will need that!

Life goes on! and On

Devonport Hash History

FC recently found an interesting document... It was a History of Devonport Hash HouseHarriers which appears to originate from our 1000th run (2000AD).

The publication was adapted by and added to by Graeme “FC” Gillam of DH3 on 30th April 2002 from a document prepared by Tony “Black Tracker” Morrell who also acknowledges the assistance of Chris “The Lord” Eden of H5 and Clive “The Beast of Bahau” or “Ghurkha” Olbery now resident at Swansea....

Run 1755

And so, about 20 hashers and 2 dogs met at the Ulverstone Rowing Club for Run 1755 on the occasion of Cheeze's 50th birthday. After a bit of an amble along the Leven River past Pier 01, the walkers ambled around and through the CBD of Ulverstone and I have't a clue where the runners went, and neither did Thrust who managed to not catch up with anybody. Guardy did the right thing and waited for her.

On On back to the place where we go regularly - this time every year for a smorgasboard of pizza prepared by Pistol Pete in his pizza oven on the back patio. After some discussion between Bastard and Dint about who was going to do the Lip - it came down to Dint doing the honours.

Some notable numbers were; Fanny May - 101, GA - 246, Trakka - 1233 and Triple Top for her 50th birthday. They say her birthday bash on the Peppermint Cruise and afters down South were pretty special. Pistol Pete also received a down for missing 52 runs. The Hub is still missing - allegedly still with Tripple Top.

Lunah Full Moon Hash is on this Thursday - meet at the carpark at the back end of Wells and Sons Latrobe at the normal time and the On On is at Mackay's pub.

Next weeks run will be at Crows in and around the salubrious premises called the Oz Rock Inn and everyone knows where that is!

Runs cuming up are -

16 Feb Flasher - at Flashers place, on Upper Maud St, West Ulverstone

23 Feb Bonor - off South Road West Ulverstone adjacent to where South Road goes under the Bass Highway, on the South side - watch out for the signs,

2 Mar Fanny May TBA

9 Mar Dint TBA

Feel free to offer to host runs over the next few months - too few are hosting too many.

Cheers

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.)
