RUN 2261 – Normal and Mastabait – 611 Eyre Street with the on after at Eureka Bistro – Monday 23rd June 2025

Precious was absent this week, so Mummy dearest (Mrs Dickhead) stepped up as stand in GM. Welcomes Back this week went to Head Hunter, Big Dog, Hush Puppy, Bent Nose and Teflon. While no sniffy runs were noted, Shafted piped up to announce that he was on 869, proclaiming his own sniffy run. Half-a-bar also scored a drink for the winter solstice, shortest day, shortest hasher. He also scored a down down for thinking he could park in the neighbours driveway.

The run was then screwed by IC. He noted that there was shit on the trail, he was followed by a shit hasher, and big dog was seen to be marking his territory on trail. The run was then scored against the 6 miracles of Christ. Did we turn water into wine – yes, there were bubbles at the drink stop. Did we walk on water – No, this week it was not wet. Did we still the storm – yes, but there were gale force winds. Did we feed 5000 people – Yes, Eureka has heaps of food. Did we cure the lepers – Yes, Half-a-bar is here. Was there a resurrection – Yes, Half-a-bar and Shafted both appeared. This run scored, 5 out of 6.

Bent Nose stepped up as acting sergeant, even though he had used his 2 jokes at the drink stop. HHH was then compared to a cult, for those looking for new ventures as they age, especially as we now have the cooch cross. There was then a group charge for those standing beyond the “No stupid People beyond this point” sign. Bent Nose was also charged for reaching 15051 runs (according to his adjusted run numbers). Pauline then charged Normal for some of the notable signage in his back shed. The Geelong supporters then scored the next down down. Mrs D was then charged since we have lost SS and gained PP. Rowdy was then charged for his eulogy, and IC was charged for leading us in a rendition of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, at SS’s memorial. There was a magnificent turnout with many Hashers past and present in attendance.

Next week’s run was then announced to be Shafted’s run from the Grapes Hotel on Grant St. This run will be a commemorative run for Heavy, on the 10th anniversary of his passing.

We then finished up with Head Hunter telling us a story of a past Ladies Hash run though the cemetery. As the Harriettes passed by a Hasher’s grave, all walked astride the site, so that their Lady Gardens could be inspected. Despite offers to repeat, she said that this is only available if you’re dead. We then relocated to Eureka Bistro for dinner.
