RUN #2051, 6 SEPTEMBER 2021

COVID RUN #40 - ZOOM HASH CIRCLE #43 – SELF-SET TRAIL #5

Well, it was yet another week of covid lockdown, where we are still limited by our covid safe settings with a weekend trail and Monday night zoom hash circle. Trail was set from the Western Oval by Pauline and Lois Lane, for those that lived nearby and took us on an 8km journey of past and present hashers. Others completed their own trail within their 5km exercise limit. There was also comments about the lovely views from BF#2’s new neighbourhood.

22 Hashers gathered for the zoom hash circle Monday night. There was some general chit chat while we waited for the screw to log in and we almost started the down downs, but stopped once we were told Mountie arrival was imminent.

Mountie then went on to Shag the run and gave the following scores, Venue 20, Terrain 1 (no hills), Marking 40 (she completed trail 3 times), Drink Stop 20, Groovy Factor 20, giving a total of 101 out of 100.  Shitty Trail 

Fang then appeared with a grandchild so Dim Wit was called upon for a child friendly joke. “How do you tell the gender of an ant? Put it in water, the one that floats is buoyant”.

Spencer Hocking was welcomed back to Ballarat as our returned from Queensland correspondent and is again the acting Sergeant.

Lois Lane was then inundated with suggestions for further Hash Houses that were missing from her trail. She informed us that she has further versions of this type of trail but could not include everyone as the trail was longer than usual as it was.

SS then charged Bent Nose and BP as the garden reno A team.  Get a Life  Lois Lane also charged Bent Nose and BP for offering their concreters drinks from the Hash esky. Rowdy then complained that he didn’t get a drink, he was offered, but why should that get in the way of a good story. Mrs D then told us that Bent Nose and BP had stayed with Pauline and Lois during previous renovations so it should be OK to offer their drinks to others. Pauline then charged Fascinator for walking trail in the opposite direction and blaming his dogs.

Spencer Hocking then went on to list some Sniffy runs: Fascinator 193, BP 1246, Mountie 1318, Bent Nose 1423.  Get a Life 

BF#2 was charged for her Paralympic joke from last week, it was pointed out that the marathon was won in an impressive time of 2hrs 21min and the challenge was given, can you beat that! Lois Lane then charged Campaspe for getting lost on trail.  They Ought to Be 

NBCL was charged for coaching his woman’s footy team to be crowned minor premiers for 2021.  We are the Champions  D&C was charged for dressing as a Muslim to get her covid jab at the multicultural centre and Mountie was charged for not looking as good as D&C in a scarf.  You’re Ugly  There were then further comments about Hijab’s and He Jabs, where we were told that Donuts was offering free jabs.

Pauline then talked about the upcoming Hangi at Donuts place on November 5, 6 & 7 – contingent upon covid regulations. There has since been an email and Facebook post with further information.

Next Week’s Run – Monday 13 September 2021, Hare: Pebbles – Location: Royal Mail Hotel, Sebastopol (depending upon covid restrictions).

We were then told that Andy Pobjoy was live on Facebook with music for Mellow Mondays. There was then something about D&C resembling someone off the Block and Rowdy finished up the zoom with a song for Dumb and SS.  It’s a Grand Old Flag

RUN #2050, 30 AUGUST 2021

COVID RUN #39 - ZOOM HASH CIRCLE #42 – SELF-SET TRAIL #4

Due to Victoria’s ongoing covid lockdowns, we are again limited by our covid safe settings with a weekend trail and Monday night zoom hash circle. Trail was set from the Lake View Hotel by Rowdy, for those that lived nearby. Others completed their own trail within their current 5km exercise limit.

24 Hashers then gathered for the zoom hash circle Monday night. We began by acknowledging Glider’s anniversary and all raised a glass in his memory.

Mountie then went on to Shag the run and gave the following scores, Venue 20 (it was close to home for Mountie), Terrain 5 (no hills), Marking 5 (chalk was a bit light), Drink Stop 0 (no drink stop), Groovy Factor 20, giving a total of 50 out of 100. Shitty Trail

Criss Cross was then charged for describing an address by the building that used to be there and BF#2 was charged for her resemblance to an Auslan Interpreter. Teflon was also charged for calling us Mexicans in his Facebook post. This was followed by general discussion about names for residents of different states, seems many states call others Mexicans.

Pauline then took advantage of a lull in conversation to talk about next week’s run. Due to impending inclement weather, trail will be set on Tuesday from the Eyre St side of the Redan Footy Club at the Western Oval. There will also be a collect and move on DS on Wed, Thu and Sat (see Facebook post for more info). This will allow some hashers to complete trail before the weekend weather turn to shit.

Next Week’s Run – Monday 6 September 2021, Hare: Pauline – Location: Western Oval (Eyre St side) or Self Set Trail #4

Exit then arrived and we again raised our glasses in memory of Glider. Exit explained that she was late to the zoom because she was talking on the phone to Half-a-bar. There was then discussion of the wine that she has in barrels and talk of a bottling day sometime down the track when we can travel again. There was to have been a memorial for Glider next month, but this has been postponed and we will try to have a memorial in February next year, around the time of Glider’s birthday. There was discussion about doing something on 22/2/22 but this could be difficult for some as it is a Tuesday??? Mrs D and Exit then discussed payment transfer options for Gliders nash hash rego. I’m sure they will sort it out eventually.

Rowdy then charged Normal (who wasn’t there) for posing like Kathmandu catalogue model in his Facebook posts and for not checking Facebook posts or emails before asking for details about the next hash trail.

BP was charged for going through menopause twice, this related to her sitting in a singlet on a cold Ballarat evening. We then finished up with a few quick jokes by Dim Wit, Bent Nose and Fascinator before zoom timed out.

RUN #2049, 23 AUGUST 2021

COVID RUN #38 - ZOOM HASH CIRCLE #41 – SELF-SET TRAIL #3

Due to Victoria’s covid lockdown #7 (or is it #6.2?), we have again reverted to our covid safe settings with a weekend trail and Monday night zoom hash circle. Trail was set from the Ballarat East Bowls Club by Mountie on behalf of Rear Entry, for those that lived nearby. From the book (thanks Juz Cum) 27 Ballarat Hashers walked/ran this trail, or their own trail within their current 5km exercise limit.

23 Hashers then gathered for the zoom hash circle Monday night. We began by thanking our zoom correspondent from Queensland, Spencer Hocking for missing out on joining the local Queensland hash and choosing to set up and join our hash zoom instead. Next, we congratulated Nutcracker for becoming a grandmother. She was then called Granny Cracker and GILF#2 throughout the evening.

Mountie then tried to tell a joke about Rear Entry but her zoom kept breaking up and most of us missed the punchline so it didn’t get many laughs. Mountie then went on to Shag the run and gave the following scores, Venue 20, Terrain 20, Marking 20, Drink Stop -10, Groovy Factor 5, giving a total of 55 out of 100.  Shitty Trail 

Rowdy then charged BF#2 and BF#4 for failing to sing. Spencer Hocking was announced as stand in Sergeant which was followed by a call for “no maths” which was somewhat ignored by Spence who went on to say that Nutcracker became a grandmother on 21 – 8 – 21 which is of course a palindrome. We were then told that 21 and 8 form the digit sum of 11 and then there was something about legs 11 to which Nuts told us that her granddaughter does have long legs. All platinum blond grandparents were then charged.  Give us an A  Teflon was then charged for his first day of retirement, where he told us that he had been busy mowing the lawn and taking a nap.  Get a Life 

Head Hunter then told us all about her recent surgery. She had been diagnosed with a tumour on her heart valve back in June following some health issues and recently underwent open heart surgery in Melbourne to remove the benign tumour. The surgery went well, and she is now recovering at home. She was grateful that the set trail was within her 5km allowing her to do 10 minutes of the trail (this is all that she can currently manage). She also mentioned that the tumour was probably the cause of her stroke aver 20 years ago, so it was good to now have a cause for that, especially as it has now been removed. We wish her well and hope her recovery continues to go well.

Rowdy then charged Bent Nose for ignoring Stubby when he was out riding his bike.  He’s the meanest  This was followed by a joke from Dumb, but he stuffed it up using the wrong name for the punchline “Come on Eileen” making it even funnier. SS was then charged for only being able to play 17 holes of golf before the 1pm lockdown last Saturday.

Mrs D then charged Campaspe with a challenge to use an adjective and an adverb of the same word, as was done in last weeks scribe that was written by her Precious. But you know what, I do it my way and that’s how it is. Each to their own. We were then told to take note of the Galah posted on FaceBook. Pauline then charged BP for being predictable and calling Lois within 5 min of our most recent lockdown being announced. We then moved on to a joke from Dim Wit about a frog DNA test that showed French, German and a tad-pole.

Next Week’s Run – Monday 30 August 2021, Hare: Rowdy – Location: Lakeview Hotel or Self Set Trail #4

We then finished up with what was pre-empted as an inappropriate joke from BF#2, but is anything at Hash really inappropriate? The joke asked why are the Paralympics like a hand job….with both you appreciate the effort but you could do better yourself. Spencer then added his joke, why did Rear Entry cross the road…..he had his dick in a chicken.

Pauline than offered to cook a Hangi once we are out of lockdown. He was adamant that he would not do it from his home and asked if Fascinators backyard renovations would allow for the pit to be dug there? At this point zoom timed out so we will have to wait and see where and when this will take place.
