RUN #2068, 20 DECEMBER 2021

CHRISTMAS RUN – LOCATION: GOLDEN CITY HOTEL

By my head count, about 25 Hashers gathered at the Golden City Hotel for the Christmas run. We welcomed Megan for her inaugural run and began our carolling with  Heavy Hymn #1. We departed the pub, gathered a few extra hashers along trail and took off about town with our song books containing our wonderfully creative carols in hand (thanks Rowdy).

First stop was in the laneway beside the town hall, where we sang  Hark the Herald Angels Sing #1  featuring Spencer Hocking. We then moved to outside the Piano Bar where we sang  Oh Holy Night  featuring Fascinator and Donuts. We then had a couple of group photos taken out the front of Santa’s Workshop and another inside the Giant Bauble.

Next was the regular stop outside the back of skin ski & surf. Here, we were replenished with a drink stop, carols and a few down downs. Charges from before the run went to Juz Cum and Wee Problem, who were charged for being late to PMT hash and missing the bus. Mountie was charged for not setting a run at PMT hash and Fop, Her Vaj and Plucka received a COVID charge. Mrs Murphy . Carols at this location included  Good King Wenceslas  featuring Half-a-bar and  I saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus  featuring Juz Cum, Spartacus, and Pus Bucket. Further charges went to SOS and Little Evil, for turning up for free beer. Fascinator then charged Spence for wanting more kids in his neighbourhood.  No No No . FOP charged Dr Death for something about the digital thermometer that they received when they had COVID that did not come with instructions about where it needed to be shoved. We then had another carol,  We Three Kings  featuring Snag, Hass and Dr Death. This was followed by if one Dr Drinks, all Dr’s drink, so drinks also went to Fop, Campaspe, Rowdy and QD. We then had welcomes back to Fang, Boot and BF#? And a charge for the Virgin runner, Megan. Our next carol was  the First Noel  featuring Precious and BF#? Which was followed by the renaming of BF#? to Horatio Hornblower.  Give us an A . SS charged Boot as next years GM, there was also mention of SOS for GM too. This was followed by charges for the oldest hasher, youngest hasher and a charge for Fang who has been coming to hash for the longest but doesn’t have the greatest number of runs.  Soldier Song . Mountie then charged the hot young guy, and SOS was demoted as he is no longer the hottest youngest guy. Mountie and the hot young guy had a drink off which was followed by another drink off with SOS. I believe Mountie won both! Next carol was  White Christmas , featuring Campaspe. QD was in tears, so he received a down down and Big Dog received a down down for dressing up in a Christmas themed Big Dog shirt.  Down Down Down 

We then moved on to the Robin Hood Hotel where drinks were purchased and we sang  Its Beginning to look a lot like Christmas, featuring ScoMo/Big Dog. This was followed by  Silver Bells  featuring SS and  Silent Night  featuring Snag and Mountie.

Our next stop was Irish Murphy’s where we had prearranged a visit, but upon arrival we were not allowed to disturb their patrons and we resorted to singing outside. Carols at this location included,  Oh Come all Ye Faithful and  Away in a Manger ,featuring QD and Head Hunter.

Our final drink stop was located in the Queen Alexandra Bandstand where we began with the carol  Oh Christmas Tree , featuring D&C. Then, if one GM drinks, all GM’s drink and all GM’s who did back to back drink (SOS).  Mrs Murphy  If we have one GM carol, we then must follow with the other GM carol,  Deck the Halls, featuring Nutcracker and NBCL.  La la la la la, la la la la. If one Nut drinks, all nuts drink and again if one GM drinks, all GM’s drink. Next carol was  Hark the Herald Angels Sing #2, featuring Half-a-bar. Since he wasn’t here, Mountie was called upon to take a drink as she was considered to be the closest in height to Half-a-bar. The next carol at this location was  Frosty the Snowman, featuring Shafted. Since he wasn’t here, the person called upon to take a drink on his behalf was Little Evil. Also joining in for this down down was SOS and Horatio Hornblower. We then sang the carol  I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus  again, for Wee Problem which was followed by Pauline singing  I want to wish you a Māori Christmas. Juz Cum then charged Head Hunter for an Irish Christmas and Fascinator attempted a Haka.

Back at the Golden City we gathered in the back function room for our pre-ordered pizzas, drinks and dancing. The final carols at this location were accompanied by the guitarist and included  Jingle Bell Rock, featuring Pebbles and  Happy Christmas (War is Over), featuring Chris Cross.

Thanks to the GMs and committee for organizing a great Christmas run. A fun night was had by all, and to all a good night. 

Next weeks run will celebrate Dr Death’s 60th Birthday from his place at 117 Pryors Road, Scotsburn. Celebrations begin from 3pm. Bring salad, alcohol and snacks. Hash run, circle and down downs are planned for the usual time of 6.30. Also see post/email from Num Num for further information.

RUN #2067, 13 DECEMBER 2021

HARE: BENT NOSE – LOCATION: THE GRAPES HOTEL

35 Hashers signed the book and gathered at The Grapes Hotel for the run this week. Num Num and Rowdy were presented with commemorative T-shirts to continue Nummy’s 700 run celebrations (now 702 runs) and to commemorate Rowdy’s 1300 runs. Rowdy wore his “1300” balloons along the 5km trail around Golden Point and yet again, there were lots of hills. We then congregated at the top of another hill that went from the back of White Flat Reserve to Armstrong St Sth for the drink stop. After refreshments, we then returned to the pub for down downs and dinner.

Hash circle began with Rowdy’s 1300 runs celebration and he was joined by Mountie, Snag, Juz Cum and Campaspe, who were all celebrating December birthdays.  Hashy Birthday 

Mastabait stepped up to hold Mountie’s moot this week and Mountie began with a joke about Bent Nose and Campaspe on a plane. Campaspe was repeatedly sneezing and quivering. Bent asked if she was ok and she explained that she had a medical condition that caused an orgasm when she sneezed. He asked what she was taking for that, and the answer was “pepper”.  This was followed by another joke about BP asking Bent why he no longer played golf with Pauline. Bent answered that with “would you like to play with someone who cheats?” and this was followed by “neither does Pauline”. Scores were then awarded for the run: Venue -5 (not in the bush), Terrain 10 + 2 (lots of hills), Marking -2 (Hare ran his own on back), Drink Stop 20 (well stocked and at the top of a hill), Groovy Factor 20, giving a total of 45 out of 100.  Shitty Trail 

Our sergeant, Shafted, then began with telling us all about a copy of the Ballarat East Newsletter that he had just been given that contained articles about Bill and Ben the flowerpot men, so The Bill was called upon for a down down.  He Ought to be 

Charges from before the run began with down downs for Spartacus and Juz Cum (not sure why?), half-a bar (for flicking the money tin) and Precious (for wishing his parents stood that close).  20 Toes 

Lois then charged Precious for being able to finally return his lubricant to him. Rowdy charged NBCL for taking 2 books on trail, to which Precious retorted that this meant he had read 2 more books than half-a-bar. Half-a-bar then scored another charge from Fascinator for his funky belt.  Soldier Song 

Fascinator then charged Campaspe (couldn’t read my notes or remember why?). Precious charged NBCL for being a funnier learner sergeant than our 2 current sergeants. Nutcracker then charged Dumb for reminding her about tonights sniffy run, which got worse as she said that she was “going down and getting it sorted” and “going down right now”. Num was charged for being forgetful and wishing Juz Cum a Happy Birthday and then asking “who are you?”. Teflon then charged Pebbles for running a really long way (he completed the Melb marathon yesterday), then Num charged Rowdy for being half the man that Pebbles is by running a half marathon.  Do your balls hang low . Mrs D then scored a charge for thinking saying that a half marathon was 23kms.  No No No 

Fascinator then charged Mastabait for getting cards from the dementia society and now he can’t find them. There was then something about a photo of a turtle eating a redfin. Mrs D then charged Dim Wit, Precious and Criss Cross for their varied running styles (this was a visual gag, so you had to be there to understand this one).  You’re stupid 

Precious was charged for being attacked by a magpie, just as we left the pub. Spartacus then charged Dim Wit for not having enough money for a beer and having to ask to borrow 50 cents, which Snag provided. The final charge went to SS who went out the front because he thought his name had been called, but it hadn’t. He got a drink anyway.  His One Skin 

We then moved on to next weeks run, which is the Christmas Run organised by the committee. Wear Christmas gear, bring cash for a pub crawl and the start & finish location will be the Golden City Hotel on Sturt St.
