Run # 1994; COVIS Run # 18; Hare Mountie and Pus Bucket; Sparrow Cricket Ground
Back in lockdown 😢 A well-marked trail set off from the famous SCG (Sparrow Cricket Ground) that looped through the back of Pax Hill and the Woowookarung regional park. Whilst the weather was verging on dodgy, the R.A. managed to step up at the last minute and most participants remained dry (at least from above). The unfortunate re-introduction of Stage 3 restrictions thwarted any hopes of a social drink with Mountie and Pus Bucket at the completion of the run.
Zoom circle #20. Attendees: Spence, Fop, Her Vag, Dumb, Num, Mrs D, Nutcracker, NBCL, Donuts, Headhunter, Quick Dick, SS, Vibes (briefly), Bent, BP, Pauline, Lois, Campaspee, Rowdy, Fascinator, GILF, Teflon, DnC, Mountie, Pus Bucket (briefly) and Normal
It should also be noted that this Zoom Circle clashed with the Cats vs Saints footy game and I had one eye on the television. This added to the scribing degree of difficulty as I tried to maintain an eye and ear on the television throughout the Zoom circle.
The Zoom Circle once again began with a cacophony of simultaneous conversations, making it difficult for this poor scribe to keep up. Masks were a general theme of the initial conversations, with Campaspee commenting that it now feels weird not to be wearing one. Mountie agreed and added that when she wears her mask she sometimes forgets she also has her helmet on. Apparently she finds herself walking through the hospital corridors looking like a disabled kiddie with special needs.
Bent Nose’s Screw began just as Gary Rohan kicked his second goals to increase the Cats lead to 12 points. Bent was pleased that only Mountie was present for this screwing, as he wasn’t looking forward to sharing with the screw with Pus Bucket (how very old fashioned of you Bent).
The Screw began with, “Sparrow located once again in the fabulous south east, but things quickly turned to shit,” and proceeded with a pictorial show of the numerous varieties of stool, scat and spoor present on trail. The bush setting with numerous "Black Boys and Heaths" was commended, as was the hill that caused Lois’s downfall. (This slippery slop will henceforth be known as “Lois’ Mound”)
No Drinks Stop completed the shitty theme and brought back memories of infamous past trails set by Squizzy.
Score < 0.05% (no one got drunk)
(By this stage Hawkins and Rohan had both kicked their 3rd goals and the Cats has assumed a 17 point lead at half time.)
Sniffycunt runs: DnC complained that no one had texted her because the number posted on Facebook last week was wrong. (In future call 0412650477 for a good time).
Random sniffycunt runs included: SS 1227, NBCL 33, Head Hunter 133, Quick Dick 130, Teflon 207, Campaspee 37 and GILF 319.
Quick Dick reassumed his duties as Sergeant declared that this run ought be renamed “Forrest Dump”!
First charge was to Lois Lane for bringing the trail home with her.
Then Evil was charged for the doggy “Hannibal Lecter Mask” – apparently is was there to protect Campaspee’s dogs.
Head Hunter charged Mrs D for making masks out of bras
Bent was charged for his lack of “Man Bag” – this was rebounded and evidence of said Man Bag was posted on Facebook (thanks BP) not there
Bent charged Dumb for not picking up the old engine block on trail
Spence charge Dumb for the Thomastown car wreckers industrial fire; they had too many old batteries on site. Dumb said his workshop is safe, they only keep about 100 on site and they sell the rest to Beirut
Pauline charged Lois for her infamous failed climb up Lois' Mound; she almost made it to the top and Pauline saluted as she slid face down all the way to the bottom.
Apparently a couple of 4WDers witnessed this spectacle from the top of the mound whilst waiting for to complete her reverse skeleton slide. (possible future Spectacle Award nominee)
Teflon charged Donuts for the perfect donut in the carpark
Sam Menegola kicked the first goal of the second half; Cats now up by 24 pts
Mountie charged Fascinator as Her Fanny said he was too busy to go on the hash run … obviously he wasn’t working on the weather!!!
Mrs D revisited NBCL’s name, suggesting that Forrest Dump would be more appropriate. Rowdy rebounded saying that everyone wanted to be a Nut’s Bush Clitty Licker!!
Rowdy charged the Prince of Pomposity (Bent) for his mispronunciation of Woowookarung
Spencer Hocking was asked why he hadn’t had a haircut since the beginning of lockdown; apparently he hadn’t found a barber with 1.5m scissors (suggestions that he looked like either Gandalf or a 1970’s porn star)
Nutsy was charged for knitting in the Hash circle
Vibes was charged for being SS’s waiter and delivering wine on command
Mountie also charged Vibes for her immaculate run wardrobe (Mountie had secretly hoped that Vibes would fall face first in the mud like Lois)
Zach Touhy goaled and the Cats were now 31 points up just as the Zoom time ran out…
Next week’s run: Rotunda near brown hill pub, Hare is Pebbles
Feel free to through in some money to the hash tin at the end of lockdown (Bent wasn’t sure that some of the oldies will make it that far; Mrs D suggested that they could pop it in their wills)
For clarity; DnC’s phone number is 0412650477, message her when you’ve completed the run.
For even more clarity; Cats beat Saints by 59 points, Hawkins 5 goals, Rohan 4 goals. (Go Cats)
