Judd claims second Brownlow

But we only cared about Maggie having a birthday...

After an almost 7kms run up and down Ulverstone we all deserved a medal, well... all but Cheese that is. Starting with a 25m vertical climb and finishing with a 70m climb we all raised a bit of a sweat before returning to big boy Tug's hideaway, hidden behind the No Alcohol Past This Point sign.

All the gory stats [here]

Next run at Poxy and PBs place: corner of Eugene St and Cambridge Court in Devonport. Wear stockings and crotchless underwear if you like, see if anyone cares.

And if you are going to Melbourne, this site tells you who runs wear for each day of the week!

Dear Diary...

Last Monday's run required a Black Traka to show us where to go. Some liars apparently followed the non-trails, but I for one had no glasses with me, nor a light to read the cryptic run route with. I had no chance to keep up with the running real men, I just could not cough fast enough. The walkers ended up at Mollies (via the most direct route no doubt).

Captain Crab and Hermit kept me company. Thanks to the K9 Hermit Crab who was too young for Molly Malones (or whatever the excuse was) we decided against a Guinness at Mollies and hence we were home first. Yes dear diary, I finally won at Hash!

The first batch of beer that arrived was warm... Should I continue?

Best pizza ever from Domino's (contradiction in terms?), which I devoured without my drugs as I was locked out of my car and my Fanny May had gone AWOL. Dint hates me for paying late. Cold beer arrived, highlight of my night!

Raffle was rigged, I won naaaating!

NEXT RUN set by Cheese from 34 William Street in Ulverstone...

Pillinger HOFT September 18

Brought to you by Chunder and Gonzo

Meet 7am (on September 18, 2010) at Burnie McDonalds if you want to car-pool.
Meet 10am at the National Parks Pillinger Walk turnoff on Kelly Basin Road south of Queenstown.

This trail follows a historic former railway route through rain-forest inside the World Heritage Area. Kelly Basin and Pillinger are historic town sites on the shores of Macquarie Harbour. A 5km section from the Bird River turnoff to Bird River is suitable for 4WD and bicycles. From Bird River the trail is for walking only. Allow a full day for the walk to Pillinger.

Think about driving up friday afternoon and spending Friday night in Queenstown, it saves a long morning's drive...

PS Found in the Trash...

Hush hash you bastards!

In February you will attend the very best Nash Hash event in the history of Hash because it is being run and organised by your two headed peers. To this end we need to quash any competition from our mainland cousins in the realm of Nash Hash Acts through some outstanding Tassie Nash Hash Acts. I know you can do it. I see how you act each week at your down down sites. So put your thespian hats on (yes, it is legal here in Tassie) and let me know what you come up with.

Cheers Buddha (Buddha@dhash.com)

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.)
