Run 1990, Zoom#16, COVID #14, Monday 13th July 2020, Hare Bent Nose – from the rotunda near the fountain at the lake
We are often reminded that Bent Nose and Normal have run 21 marathons between. It would appear that Bent was inspired by marathons when setting this week's 9km trek. This trail took in areas of the lake, the gardens, Alfredton and Vic Park, before arriving at the residence of Bent and BP. The Hashers who survived the journey were treated to a variety of warm food and cold beverages, all whilst adhering to strict social distancing measures.
Joining this week’s Zoom circle were Spencer, Fop, Nutsy, NBCL, Mrs D, Bent, BP, Teflon, GILF, Fascinator, SS, DnC, Rowdy, Num, Dumb, Donuts, Mountie, Campaspee, BeerFuck, Pauline and Lois Lane, though Lois Lane assumed an alter ego called “OnOn” (Lois had confused the “Password field” with the “Display name” field).
This sparked a conversation about how to change the user’s name on Zoom and Fascinator was more concerned as to how to change it back again; apparently he has a business meeting this week and doesn’t want to be called “Fascinator” by his business associates. Lois then told the story of Pauline, who last week had a Zoom meeting with old Armed Forces colleagues only to find his background was still the naked pic of SS (see last week’s post). It was even funnier that Pauline didn’t know how to change it. We hope he has learned his lesson as this week their background was an old pic of BP and Spencer, a stark contrast to Spencer's wild and wooly look that he is rocking today (see pic).
Both DnC and Nutcracker came prepared to prevent the spread of COVID-19, donning full faced masked. While NBCL donned his special beer goggles, which complemented his beautiful ferret skinned jacket (see pic).
At 7:10pm Donuts called for order and asked D&C for "SniffyCunt runs": DimWit "either 99, 100 or 101" (DimWit please clarify), FOP 414, Pauline 272, Campaspee 33. (all palindromic)
DoNuts chose against appointing a substitute Screw as he had always wanted to tell Bent nose to “Go screw yourself”. Bent began his own screw with the Olympics motto, “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (faster, higher, stronger), and the asked what was Latin for “Amplest” (“Amplius”??).
He then amused himself reflecting on the feedback about the trail length, especially that certain hashers (Campasee) made the trail even longer by getting lost. There was only the single on back which was avoided by Mountie and Just Cum who shortcutted across the High School oval only to find themselves ankle deep in a mire. Bent then ironically thanked the R.A. (Fascinator), as Bent has now set two recent runs and the rain has ruined both of them. Despite the inclement weather, Bent thought his trail was worthy of the grand score of 6.022 x 10²³ (Avogadro’s constant). As we still do not know the scale these scores fall on Mountie suggested using the Beaufort scale (wind force scale – Bent is full of it)
In the absence of a Sergeant charges were just thrown about randomly and included the following:
Wee Problem’s friend was heard to say that she saw “Bent’s little thingy” out the front (apparently it has a kink in the middle)
Campaspee asked about the “improved trail” on Sunday; “it was drier, and no one got lost on it”. D&C objected as she had lost her way twice, if it wasn’t for Nutcracker she would still be out there.
Bent charged Campaspee for living up to her namesake “meandered through the mud”. This was reaffirmed by Num and Dumb who had started 10 minutes after her, arrived at the drinks stop 10 min before her and had never overtaking her.
Campaspee was warned of the dangers of being lost in Vic Park, which led to a Spencer Hocking charge and a suggestion that there ought be a Spencer Hocking statue erected there
GILF asked Spencer if he was trying to grow his hair like the old days and get suspended from school, back then they were rebels before their time. D&C reminisced about her rebellious days and getting suspended for having tips (tits) in her hair – Donuts lamented that he hasn’t had “tits in his hair for years”
Mrs D charged Fascinator for the lock down in Melb and forcing people to buy in Ballarat, and Mountie charge “Poor Fascinator” who couldn’t do the run because he worked all weekend. (Mountie also worked all weekend and still managed to run)
Nutcracker charged Bent as she had been on a non-fasting day only to see Bent dressed in Lycra, subsequently losing her appetite.
Time was then running out…
