It was a balmy September night in Nicholson Place in Crows Nest with great anticipation of a run par excellence- maybe even the run of the year! They were all there with a good sized turnout with Plunger fresh from his adventures in Norway with King Cnut. Everyone was there minus French Connection and Duckweave who decided that maybe a live hare run would be a good idea unbenowns to the Trailmaster. There was even a cameo appearance from Tumut based Tiny Brain who, looking a little bedraggled, was after some respite following several hot and steamy conquests in the wild reaches of the Tumut Valley and fertile ground of the Canberra desperates – great to see you mate!
Off we went in great anticipation with the normal front runners of Scotsman, Moishe,
Lightning, Super, Cinders and the Shits ( Little and James Shit) leading the way down Lithgow Street with Calici Virus and Jungle Jim in hot pursuit. The pack reformed again in Herbert Street with confusion reigning on high with hashmen, Scotsman, Super and Flasher searching high and low in every direction for the trail as the trailmaster, without any map, tried to make a silk purse out of a sours ear. Tiny in his Tumut speak tongue was heard to mutter in dulcet tones- where the fuck is the trail. Grape then piped up that there should be a new committee man called the half way bucket man to provide nourishment to the pack until the trail was found. While all this was happening, the live hare French Connection was busily completing the trail although it was noted in dispatches that he was seen hitching a ride back to the bucket where Ayatollah was project managing his co hares by GPS.
It was about this time that Spud finally received his run details by Duckweave express post and the pack was off again having picked up the scent at Christie Street then left into Nicholson Place and right running parallel to the railway line. At Francis Street, the runners group of Moishe, Benny, Music, Your Choice, and Scotsman entered the bush at Francis Street with the tennis courts on the right while the walkers led by PeeDub striding out in an impressive Presidential gait led the way into Waters Road. An every observant Moishe and Flying Virgin reported back later that there was a throng of single women gathering in a nearby location and gave themselves blood pressure pills just in case it all went to one place. As S Bend led the pack of walkers of Tyre Fruck, Druid, Baron Von Druk, Pee Dub, Centre Point and Scud up a dead end on Mitchell Street , Jack the Ripper was heard in the distance saying where are those fucking arrows.
About this time on the runners trail, Moishe was bounding ahead of the pack in his normal uncompetitive style and with no trailmaster in sight managed to be caught by the longest checkback in recent Hash History in the Hallstrom reserve- well done Moishe. Back at the walkers camp, they had regrouped after Jack the Ripper found his arrows and with the core group of a dozen or more including Druid and Payling and the presidentially striding Pee Dub followed the bike trail under the freeway to Apex Street up the hill to Claire street and over the freeway bridge via Central Avenue. Now on Willoughby Road and firmly on the home trail ,Tyre Fruck and S Bends were setting a fast pace until Flying Virgin and Centrepont disgraced themselves at the traffic lights at Dalley Road. A poor unsuspecting female and her poodle were accosted by the pair of hashmen feigning interest in the poodle called pooch. It was then that Flying virgin with his hand now firmly on the dogs back was heard say – “ I actually prefer pussies to poodles” – with that comment , S Bends, Scud and Tyre Fruck quickly disappeared from the scene of the crime.
The walkers were then joined by Scotsman, Musicman, Little Shit and Superglue at Merrenburn Avenue who sprinted along Hume Lane to the bucket in Nicholson Street
where the 3 Muskateers were waiting to await the verdict of their live hare run.
The On On was held at the Shehnai restaurant with great northern Indian food followed by down downs to the hares,Ayatollah, French Connection and Duckweave (for a great live hare run), Little Shit and Musicman with a new committee initiative of some fresh new lyrics to the down down led my Calici and Centrepoint. Singh and TT were acknowledged for their food and restaurant with a traditional North Indian down down.
On On to the Larrikin hosted Joint Run at Waverton – see you all there
