Devonport Hash House Harriers: October 2014

GoneAgain took the hashers to where no one had run before, to the top of Kelcey Tier... Bastard scared the incidental locals at the carpark by accusing them of taking up the entire space with their ute when he arrived but apologised very sincerely when he was later told they were not hashers. He was put the spot and uttered a nonchalant 'sorry', a word most prime ministers are not brave enough to verbalise.

Fanny May had decked out the entertainment area with valuable art-deco furniture to make us all comfortable. Cheese made himself comfortable on the most expensive museum piece and smashed it into bits accidentally. FM was worried sick he'd injured himself. FM then dished out leftovers (that GA refused for lunch) and her signature chocolate brownies which blew away the troops. BedPan managed to stay safe thanks to a yellow stripe painted on the deck especially for her and her kind. Suggestions were made FM needs to fence off the entire deck to keep Hashers in and ensure safety (of the neighbours?).

Tracka giving us the ins and outs on the trail. FOUR kg of flour was allegedly used to set it. He must have been very hungry, as little was left for us to find.

Run 1739 Set by Tracka & Tinsel from Coles Beach. Tracka made four statements prior to the start. 1. That it was not a short run 2. That it was not long run 3. That there was virgin territory That there was a nude photo shot taking place en route (so to speak). Well two out of four is only just a pass. It was not a short run! There was virgin territory! (Tracka got lost in the Coles Beach hinterland but continued to lay trail until he stumbled on the walking track. Thank goodness we had Lantern with his superior survival and navigations skills or we still might have been there.) That is where the truths finished. The on-on in the BBQ area was sumptuous and highlighted by Cheese’s headlights (Hi-beam we needed you.) The rest of the evening was taken up by Crow moaning about being attacked by a huge man eating dog who wanted to chew on his bone.

Thanks Tracka and Tinsel.

Ed. A range of unclaimed lost property was found along the Virgin territory by GoneAgain who combed the virgin bush repeatedly and was sure no humans had ever been there - hence any item of clothing must therefore belong to us...

Ed. Also, We should mention the two huge Lamingtons we got to divy up for desert and the 10 day old salads brought by Crow - which he was glad we could not see or eat as there was little light and no plates/implements. GoneAgain tried hard to eat the salads but got most of it on his shirt/ground. No-one died.

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.)
