RUN 2372 REPORT

Did you know: Waverley Flora Park, in the 1840s, part of this land was leased for stone quarrying. By the 1860s, Kangaroo Point stone was being shipped to Hobart, Melbourne and even New Zealand, where it was used in a number of high profile building projects. In 1905, a rifle range was erected  here, run by the Bellerive Rifle Club. In 1916 a 242 acre site in Mornington (which includes modern day Waverley Flora Park) was purchased by the Australian Government for defence activities. Members of the Bellerive Rifle Club chose this location to erect a Soldiers’ Avenue of Honour, planting the first trees in September 1918. During the course of time, most of these trees were lost to urbanisation. For that reason, council re-instated the avenue in November 2019, marking the centenary of the Armistice which ended the fighting of World War One.

Well today had been a bit of a strange one. The ‘official’ temperature was for about 24 degrees, but i know I hit 32 in some sheltered places in Hobart earlier. The issue with the Flora Park is there is not a lot of off-street parking at any of the entrances. Fortunately enough room was saved early on for the Trailer and also Hash Hops.

As we were setting up, Ring Burner from Fremantle Hash arrived with some Virgins from Canberra, His sister Liz and her husband Peter. Hopefully they will catch the Hash bug and start running with Capital Hash.

After such a hot day, it was quite pleasant that it had become slightly overcast, making the temperature more manageable for the run.

6.30 came around and Top Dek gave the run instructions. Both the run and walk weren’t very long. Enjoy the scenery. The trail is that way and to the left. Don’t lose our visitors.

Still quite warm and Darth Farter passed the bulk of the pack, pushing a pram at great speed. Once he hit the hill, it was back to a walk, then a crawl.

We were basically covering the elevated region of the Park in a clockwise direction.

Sadly Sir Eve is to blame for not having road access to the reservoir site (Retired). We have had many a good hash trail set from this location.

The plaque at the Quarry, mentioning our esteemed Ratu Steady Eddie‘s “nom de plume”.

Back at the start, the walk had been 2.75km and the run 3.25km. It was then all hands on to cooking with extra cheezels to go.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any photos taken of the Lip Session, where Spoof finally got his 950th run badge.

On On to the Rigormortis‘s abode at 33 Colston Rd, Claremont. Hopefully it is again warm weather so we can cool down on the pool after the run.

On! On!
Sir Eve

FUNNIES (True Stories)

A man is having marital problems. He and the wife are not communicating at all and he’s lonely, so he goes to a pet store thinking a pet might help. The store he happens into specializes in parrots. As he wanders down the rows of parrots he notices one with no feet. Surprised, he mutters, “I wonder how he hangs onto the perch?”

The parrot says, “With my penis, you dummy.”

The man is startled and says, “You certainly talk well for a parrot.”

The parrot says, “Of course, I’m a very well-educated parrot. I can discuss politics, sports, religion, almost any subject you wish.”

The man says, “You sound like just what I am looking for.”

The parrot says, “There’s not much of a market for maimed parrots. If you offer the proprietor $20 for me I bet he’ll sell.”

The man buys the parrot and for three months things go very well. When he comes home from work the parrot tells him about the latest sports results and what happened in politics that day.

One day the man comes home from work and the parrot waves a wing at him and says, “Come in and shut the door.”

The man says, “What’s up?”

The parrot says, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but the postman came today. Your wife answered the door in her negligee and he kissed her right on the lips.”

The man says, “Oh, a momentary flight of passion.”

The parrot says, “Well, maybe, but then he fondled her breasts.”

The man says, “He did?”

The parrot says, “Yes. Then he pulled her negligee down and started sucking on her breasts.”

The man says, “My God, what happened next?!”

The parrot says, “I don’t know. I got a hard-on and fell off my perch!”

An Indian chief decided it was time to give his three sons their adult names as they had reached manhood. So he gathered them in to his tent together with the elders of the tribe.

He turns to the first son, “Son, you will be called Eagle.”

The third son interrupts, “Father, father, what will I be called?”
“All in good time, my son,” replied the Chief.

He continued, “You will be called Eagle because you are strong and wise.”

The Elders agreed.

He then turned to the second son, but the third son said, “Father, father, what will I be called?”
“All in good time, my son,” he replied.

He then continued to the second son, “Son, you will be called Swallow.”

The third son said again, “Father, father, what will I be called?”
“All in good time, my son,” he replied.

He then continued, “You will be named Swallow because you are quick and cunning.”

The Elders agreed.

He then turned to the third son who was asking, “Father, father, what will I be called?”

“Son, you will be called Thrush.”

“Why is that father?” he asked excitedly.

“Because you are an irritating little c**t.”

A cop stops a guy leading a cow down the street.

He asks, “What are you doing with a cow in the middle of town?”

“I’m taking it home to keep it in my house.”

“What about all the flies and shit?”
