The Last run of Daylight Savings means a Bush run, and the commemoration of Midnight’s demise over 33 years ago. Trail went from the car park, down along the Creswick Creek, crossing through the Portuguese Pit and along some well mined bush tracks to Slatey Creek, the up to a viewing platform overlooking Blue Waters and back to the drink stop at the Lake Car park.
Moonrise and sunset both featured, the GM pointed out a nearly full waxing gibbous moon, just after the equinox, perhaps presaging a second coming. The phrase “one of the greatest runs of all time” was mentioned.
Back at the pub for the circle, welcomes back to Quick Dick and Head Hunter, Cinderella, Shafted and Fascinator. Sniffy runs to People Pleaser 50, Shafted 888, Faucett 21, and a welcome to new runner Sue. “We’ve got Virgins”
Mountie began her screw by quoting Luke, rather than Matthew, and proceeded to an anecdote regarding Rowdy screwing someone in his consulting room, then asking what the appointment was for. “Herpes” was the answer. “Shitty Trail”
Shafted filled in at the last minute as Sergeant, and began by asking for volunteers for his run 888, three fat ladies. The only suitable candidate was IC. New runner Sue was charged for not being hot and sweaty, Lois Lane for not being there, and looking for her bag which was across her shoulder the whole time. Other charges concerning a quiche and a Carlton vibrator were offered.
Mountie finished with her Midnight limerick. When asked to describe Midnight to those who never met him, Bent offered “a good bloke with white teeth.” ON ON
Next week’s Easter Monday run is from the rotunda in Sturt St with a meal at the top Eureka.
