RUN REPORT APRIL 22/ MOSMAN EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA/ KITTY LITTER & HIS DISCIPLES
Resident: “Stop all that yelling, this is Mosman, people live here!”(“If you can call it living, mate!!”—Unknown Hasher)
Easter Kitty!
Well, it started off genteelly enough. Right in the heart of hospitable Mosman, opposite the famous Buena Vista pub, some 60 mixed Hashers assembled to hear Hare Kitty Litteraddress the multitude. This was going to be a run and walk of rare quality in an area the heand Jesus were new to. Buffed up men, remembering the enjoyment of clutching hot buns from the weekend festivities, young women of all ages, the devout and irreligious, atheists and agnostics, pilgrims and apostles, those from across town and those from across the street, all gathered, eagerly keen to explore the promised land.
First out of the holding sepulchre, and down Prince Albert Place and Queen Court (selected as a tribute to the visiting Royals) as one would expect was the Mother Superior, closely followed, maybe too closely, by Bum Crack. Tripod attempted to best them but found himself with Pretzel and Baddy2Shoes as the pack turned into Middle Harbour Road, heading to..the harbour. Wolseley, Cobbittee, then ti-tree, found Poly, Susie, and Grange(recently in the news for his 1959 aberration, that came back to bite some Oa’ff on the bum, but enuff about that) racing to the crest…just in time to note Jack the Ripper groping in the darkness to lend a willing hand to put out what appeared to be Burning Bush, on the plateau of St Georges oval, where such luminaries as Kultured, Goon, Lizard andWalking Disaster (who may well be the love child of our own Major Disaster Disaster, of whom see below) paused to take in the world-class view of the magical harbour.
The subject of singed merkins occupied a number of discombobulated voices until at lastNext Week could call On as he found Rawson Park and tore down Bradleys Head Road, closely pursued by Boomerang and Minnie Mouse (who advises any lonely Poshmen to spray themselves with Old Mice aftershave if they want to trap a pussy) with The Grapepanting on his pants, together with PeeDub. PeeDub? Yes, after a successful op replacing his racing knee with “a new me,” The Dub can now almost leap tall Monopoly houses with a single bound. Especially with a little leverage from Comes & Goes and her magic tricks with sticks.
Talking weight and the loss thereof, and a litany of litter, during Easter incredibly, one of our Hash mates was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he heard his wife’s mellifluous voice from the kitchen, ‘What do you feel like for dinner my love…chicken, beef or lamb?’ He said, ‘Chicken, please.’ She replied, ‘You’re having soup you lazy bastard, I was talking to the cat!’
On the subject of merkins, Presidential Music conducted a slick and chilling Circle (tnx to a ‘pile’ of ice which Burning Britches, now wait for this, actually returned to the Buena Vista later claiming that the ice had bottom hair on it and was just not cold enough). The Circle was indeed close to the Buena Vista..but even closer to the Mosman Police Constabulary. Right under their noses (the police, not the merkins) down downs were dispensed to, who knows why? JTR, Burning Bush, Judas and Herod who heard there were some free drinks going. Moments later the pack climbed up upon each other’s back to secure remarkably good value $8 grill your own steaks and as much salads and veges you could shake a crucifix at. Languishing all over the Vista, were such celebrities as Philthywith Kaeren, and lovely daughters Lisa and Michelle, Afterbirth, Simmo (who quietly celebrated his 7*th birthday with a schooner of Saltpetre’s shiraz), Newton Litter, with mater Three Sips, Fetchit and Frankly, Candelabra, Centrepoint and Singapore Sling and Lady Sling, ET who has returned home, if you want to know.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THIS RUN:
Major Disaster Disaster, thoroughly au fait in the knowledge that Front commanders or runners will immediately become aware of their vulnerability to attacks from vicious and determined walkers, has strengthened the athloids’ defences to include carefully laid minefields, well-sited guns and searchlights to ensure there will be sufficient provisions available when that force has swept the narrows by night, to eventually reach the safety of the J’ai Ho Indian mess. A recipe for Disaster is promised by the J’ai Ho.
