Devonport Hash House Harriers: July 2009

Next Run

REMINDER: Next run by Thrust and Gone Again from 66 Turners Beach Road.

July 27, 2009

Trakka and Tinsel sure put on a show for us tonight. They made us make our way to the Bowling Alley without trail, expected us to behave competitively and then made us walk to their garage to eat soggy chips, sausage rolls and crispy chips all flushed down with alcohol and down downs. Vegetables I suppose were carefully hidden in the tomato sauce.

Look how serious we were! Strike after strike, flook after flook, but some of us weren't so lucky. GoneAgain had trouble keeping the ball out of the gutter till he ended with 2 strikes in a row to not finish last. Dyke scored the highest as he was really really trying hard, and paid for this in the usual fashion during the ensuing Circle.

Cheese batting for the wrong team:

Next run at the Ashmore Residence on 66 Turners Beach Road, Turners Beach (map).

Dint's Dash for Hash

The Hash Monk arranged for the rain clouds to temporarily dissipate to allow for a rain-free run. Onya Ringo. Three platoons of walkers completed the course and a small contingent of runners ran the distance. As we were making the East Devonport streets un-safe, bare footed and scantily robed (no doubt) Koff was sweating in the kitchen over the chillies which formed the basis of her Spag-Bog. The circle was completed with the Wigged Waffle which included a bottle of Cow-Girl. Maggie collected all the worthwhile prizes because he must have paid Flasher handsomely - same as what the Poms did to the referees at the Ashes that were going on concurrently.

We learned the words to our own bloody hash song. Some of us hashers acted as if they had never seen them before!!

The new adornment to thePublish Post Burnie Hashshit, compliments of Dint, is very much appreciated by Dini who vowed to share it fairly amongst her fellow female Burnie tribe members.

Next week's run by Black Trakka... somewhere in the 7310 postcode.

NEXT RUN 13/07/09

Guardsvan is setting our next run from Dell Luck Reserve (near Don River Railway).
The Hare suggests you bring with you warm clothes, a torch and your sense of humour and try not to lose any of these things on the run as they will all be needed at the On On.

On On
Bald Eagle

And from GA here is Bastard's run from last week... well, the walk as was coughed by GoneAgain:

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.)
