RUN 2332 REPORT

After four weeks’ absence, I was treated to an effusive welcome by Grizzly (well, effusive for Grizzly … more like moderate enthusiasm, really). This had nothing to do with my presence, but was due to the fact that Grizzly could hand back the Hon Sec duties he’s been so admirably performing for a month. Thanks, Grizzly!

So, on to Run 2332, and our hares Organ Grinder and Prawn Star. Did you know that, in the 19^th century, when Organ Grinders abounded, they were often represented in literature as ‘gentlemen’ of ill repute or as unfortunate representatives of the lower classes?  And as for Prawn Star – by definition,there’s something fishy about him.

Still, it’s a sign of Hash egalitarianism that two such scoundrels should be put in charge of a Hash run. Lord Limp presented evidence, in the form of a discarded bicycle pump, that they had set trail from a bike, something no self-respecting Hasher would do. Proving that you just can’t trust a scoundrel, their claims of virgin territory proved to be blatant lies; Prawn Star later back-pedalled by saying that one goat track might have been virgin. He didn’t say anything about the goat.

The hares’ cries of ‘Best Trail of the Year’ followed us as we left the relative warmth of the Kingston RSL for trail along the oft-trodden Beach Rd.  There followed a loop around the outskirts of the Kingston wetlands, into the Kingborough Community Hub, around Kingston central and back to Beach Rd where we re-traced our steps to the On On. Total distance for walkers was just under 5kms, with miniscule elevation gain: an obvious attempt by the scoundrels to ingratiate themselves with Hash royalty such as Gov’nor Honkers (who confounded their plans with his royal absence).

There were a number of splits for the runners, who might have covered about 8kms … except for Hashing b#stards like Lord Limp and Just Kidding, who opted out of half the runners’ loops, hurling abuse and spittle at walkers as they ran past along the walkers’ trail.

No virgin territory, despite the hares’ grandiose claims. As Her Highness Eager (who has been around long enough to know) so wisely observed, there aren’t many places around Hobart where Hashers haven’t trod. Although there was the one goat track that might have been new for some Hashers, and the goat who might or might not have still been virgin.

Our two scoundrels (did you know that George Bernard Shaw once said that every man over forty is a scoundrel? I don’t know why he said that, but it sounds about right) had organised kebabs from somewhere to feed hungry Hashers. The Lip session followed in due course, bawdy songs sung with gusto beneath prominent signs proclaiming that bad language would not be tolerated within the RSL club.

Well done Organ Grinder and Prawn Star for stepping up to answer the Trailmaster’s last minute, desperate calls for a hare (or, as Lord Limp would have it, a hair). Splitting hairs here!

On On – Cracker
