RUN 2387 REPORT
Did you know: The Rice Corner Restaurant is a blend of Thai and Vietnamese cuisines. None of our set menu dishes had Rice!
Getting to the venue early allowed me to chill out with a beer. I’ll get the first round for Triple K (Pearl Necklace) and Highness Eager (Cracker), no change from a $50. Still a very nice Tiger beer.
No need for Hash Cash beforehand as everyone had paid up. It was great to see the theme embraced by nearly all.
From what I noted there was – 3 x Lone Arrangers, 2 x Pearl Necklaces, 2 x Wee Willie Winkies, 2x Ginger Nuts, French Tickler, Grizzly, Bog Roll, In the Raw, Thrillseeker, MoP, Clear Fell, Dish Licker, Prickit, Tinky Winkie, Snack Bar, Blue Print, Honkers, Steady Eddie, Vegie, Top Dek, Eveready. Probably some others I missed.



I am glad the venue had the large back room, even this was a bit cramped for us all. Once the allotted time arrived, the singular JM Contessa Coupla Weeks set us out the door where the runners and walkers split immediately.



The walkers went through Arthurs Circus before looping back past the Prince of Wales Hotel before heading to Sandy Bay Road.
Along Sandy Bay Rd and through St Ives Car Park before making our way to St Georges Anglican Church Hall for the Piss Stop and Lip Session.


The walk from there to the Venue was only 1.81Km and I think the run was only about 2.5km. Great to have a short trail for a big night.


A short Lip session, a few drinks and we were back. We were all eager to read the Annual Report prepared excellently as usual by Governor Honkers.
Good food followed and better beers. We had the Awards, bigger than the Oscars. Then the moment most had been dreading. The announcement of the new committee. Good Luck in 2026/27.

There a lots of photos of the night.
On On to the The Maypole on 27th of April in New Town.
Sir Eve.

FUNNIES (True Stories)
Early one summer, a six-year-old Tasmanian boy and his family decided to take a trip to Sweden. During this trip, the six-year-old Arkansas boy stumbled upon a nudist camp. Noticing the adult men were different in appearance, the six-year-old wandered up to the most endowed male at the camp. “What is that?” the six-year-old asked.
“Dis is a penis,” the Swedish man replied, “and da perfect penis, if I might add!!”
Upon arriving back in Tasmania, the six-year-old continued school with the second grade, and, for his first “show and tell,” the six-year-old Tasmanian removed his penis from his pants and said, “While in Sweden this summer, I learned that this is a penis…and it would be a perfect penis…if it were only 4 inches shorter!!”
Q. What do bungee jumping and prostitutes have in common?
A. They both cost a hundred bucks and if the rubber breaks you’re screwed.
At a news conference a journalist said to a politician, “Your assistant said publicly that you have a small penis. Would you please comment on this?”
“The truth is,” he replied, “my assistant has a big mouth.”
A blonde girl is crossing the road when she gets hit by a car. As she is lying on the ground, the driver rushes out of the car to see if she is alright.
“I’m so sorry! I just didn’t see you. Are you OK?” he blurts out.
“Everyfink is justa blur; I can’t see a fing,” she says tearfully.
Concerned, the man leans over the woman to test her eyesight. He asks, “How many fingers have I got up?”
“Ah, fuck!” she screams. “Don’t tell me I’m paralyzed from the waist down, too!!!”
