Run 1967 Hare Stubby from Morres St
"I might not have fucked up" began the GM to the assembled throng in the summer drizzle. He seems to have set his 'fuck-up' bar lower than Bridget McKenzie, but then again he does sell real estate...
Half a Bar was supposed to be hare, but for the second time this year just managed to head north with his bride on the week of his run. Dr Death has the current record at 3 x DNA, but it might be a close run thing by April.
The weather was shit; wet and windy.
The location was excellent and the host generous; - but then Pimp mucks it all up by bringing a Half a Bar clone with him, quickly labelled a quarter Bar, with his wife Bar Stool. 'Huge' Grant made the mistake of attending twice in a row, but was sensible enough to ditch the fairy princess theme, and miss the down down circle.
But the biggest fuck up of all remains the fact that since the Daylight Savings run at the start of October, we have had a total of ONE (1) bush run only (thanks Donuts).
Shame, shame, shame.
Welcomes and welcomes back announced before the run to Rowdy, D&C,Stubby, Pimp,Huge Grant, Dimwit, 1/4 Bar and Bar Stool.
Stubby announced the run was set in flour and chalk, still visible despite the rain, and urged us to yell "fuck, fuck" instead of "on, on" to commemorate Tommy.
The run made use of the adjacent Yarrowee Trail, eventually crossing the rail bridge to a tour of the house of Head Hunter and Mr Quick Dick, wandered though Specimen Vale to the Synagogue, back across the rail bridge to a very well stocked drink stop with a collection of beers, notable for a number of black beers and stouts which all warranted tasting. Well done Stubby.
The rain had almost abated by the time all were shepherded outside for the circle. Rowdy and the Bill stayed on the back porch keeping dry and overseeing proceedings. Precious screwed the run, commented that it was far superior to any run Half a Bar has set (which is only one as it is the same each year), noted the lack of on backs and halts, and labelled it a Decent Hash Run. (SHITTY TRAIL)
Mountie started with 1967 ("how many days did the 6 Day War last?). Mr Quick Dick got the answer. First Heart Transplanrt drink went to Normal as his is still missing. (Ya Stupid..)
Nummy got the Indigenous Australians being included in the Census charge, and Quick Dick the 'there's nothing as Quick as Concorde' charge.
Mountie and BF were charged for undressing in public before the run, and Spencer Hocking sent a text to Chriss Cross getting excited about the total Palindromic run at Axedale on 02.02.2020, suggesting we time the start for 41 seconds past 2 pm (14.00.41 in 24 hour time)
Head Hunter and Pimp made the mistake of wearing new shoes. Bitch Face got a charge for being Bitch Face, Big Dog for wearing jocks advertising himself as a "performance Man", Pebbles for flogging AMP,
Mountie's Gin Diet was applauded (I've lost 2 days already")
Dimwit had another zinger (What do you get when you boil a funny bone ; Laughing stock). The bar is indeed set low.
SS announced the passing of an old Ballarat Hasher, "Pussy" Everist, who is having a memorial service at the Mercure on Thursday. ON ON.
Fascinator then cheered us all up by announcing he would be absent next week, from the Australia Day, "Bugger off Bitch Face, so long Susie" run, Hare Precious from the Market Hotel. And no, Vic Park does NOT count as a bush run.
The could be another smaller bus going to Axedale for Glider's Palindromic run, contact the authorities if interested.
