This week we were introduced to TOT’s. What’s a TOT? Fitting in with this weeks theme, a TOT was a trick or treat, and there were 2 TOTs on trail, although not everyone found their way to both of them. At a TOT, we were presented with mystery shots from trick or treat labelled bottles, adding to the fun on trail. I’d also like to thank those that made an effort to dress to the Halloween theme.
Welcomes backs were awarded to Shafted, Boner, Fascinator, Donuts and Deep Heat. I also think that Rowdy should have been called up, but he was not on the list. There were no sniffy run numbers, so those that do not record numbers were awarded a down down, this included Spartacus and Deep Heat. This caused some discussion about whether numbers should be recorded for bar flies. I don’t think we came to any resolution about this. In an addendum, Mastabait was charged for 1669 runs and Jus Cum for 282 runs.
Rowdy was this weeks surprise screw. Rowdy compared Fascinators run to Half-a-bar’s runs. Same same, but different (yes, the run went up the really big hill again). There was pink chalk to annoy Rowdy and not too much of it to show where to go. The freezing temperature was noted, making Learmonth’s lakeside rotunda the coldest place in the region to have a drink stop. The Great Northerns supplied at the drink stop were made up for by a few bottles of wine to share. Birthday charges were given to Fascinator and also to Rowdy, for his missed birthday on the 4th Oct. This led to a rebound charge to Precious for missing this occasion.
Sergeant NBCL entertained us with a story about Deep Heat’s uncle who had lost both his legs. He was given a job as a security guard at a factory, but one day there was a fire. NBCL lost the plot at this point but was able to eventually regain his composure to deliver the punchline. The factory was saved, but the uncle burnt to the ground. The next story was about Bent Nose’s wife, who had bought a new dress. While trying it on, she asked if it was too low at the front. He asked her if she had a hairy chest, and she replied, no. Bent then told her that it was definitely too low. Rowdy was charged again for forgetting to tell D&C when his birthday was, when she gives him a ride to hash every week. Dumb was charged for trying to get fit. He’d gone to the gym and asked if he could be taught to do the splits. The instructor responded, well it depends how flexible you are. Dumb answered, that he could come on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Nuts were charged for being amorous and doing it doggy style. A car horn beeped and NBCL ran under the house (visual gag, NBCL had a fake head injury for his Halloween costume). Deep Heat told us a Billy Connolly joke, that went something like this. While walking to buy a newspaper, he saw a board for a talent quest. Lined up to enter the talent quest was a boy, Simon and his uncle in a chair who had no legs. The uncle was a famous glassier, who while putting in a big window, was injured when a gust of wind caused the pane of glass to slip and cut off his legs. When asked what their act was for the talent quest, he answered, “we sing, we’re Simon and half uncle”. Lois was charged for missing the second TOT on the walk, which led to a charge for Bent Nose for being pedantic. Fascinator was charged for f@#king up and giving the walk instructions to Bent Nose. Dumb was charged for having a big bone, when Num’s not here and Jus Cum was charged for complaining that she doesn’t like the roll back song, she was also charged for her costume, not hideous at all, she was looking better than ever. Donuts charged Fascinator for his Halloween fingers and teeth lollies, and Half-A-bar was charged for adding his keys to the table. Half-a-bar took 3 down downs, keeping in mind that we had the tiniest down down tankards I’ve ever seen, almost thimble sized. We still had so many down downs left, so we had an everyone charge almost finish them off. Precious, and NBCL were given the last charges. Precious tipped his beer down his mask as there was no way for him to drink with it on.
Next weeks run will be our Melbourne Cup event. There will be fashions on the field and horse races. It will be hosted from the Golden Point cricket club rooms.
An announcement was made for someone to take on the following run on the 10th Nov, as Donuts can’t do it, and he will now be doing his run on the 17th November. PS, I now see that Lois and Pauline have kindly offered to do the run on the 10th Nov, but this means we have another gap. Can someone to step in and set a run on the 8th Dec?
On On
