All Hail. The triumphant return of normal friendly notes, with their nice friendly vanilla mistakes, no unneccesary paragraphs and not written by a zealotus proponent of American colonial expansionism. And so it was WOW, a run set by CRUNCHY CRACK, in deepest wintry Franklin and guess what??? It turned out okay didnt it. For a change the hare didn't differentiate between a runners and walkers trail. The runners enjoyed a 5.5km trot around the deep north to keep the blood pumping and the walkers desperate bid for chips kept their pace per Kilometre up to olympic qualifying standards. It didnt matter where you hashed on monday night, it was always going to be windy and cold. Thank goodness the RA dropped into the venue to give the run her blessing before kick off. Her scattering of chicken bones, and stabbing of VooDoo dolls kept the rain away for the required two hours. Then she legged it home as it was a little too cool for her !!!! DICKHEAD 2 set a really low standard for the walk report by regurgitating some drivel from a report three or four weeks ago about a run that disappeared up its own arse. Poor SQUATTER, (No, not that Squatter, the other one) was then asked to give a run report based on what she had just heard, and of course, based on what she had just heard, failed dismally. Just Chris was named SCOTUM BITER. The stand in Despot, CRYING DICK, baptised the newest addition to hash, DHA will be chasing CRYING DICK until the end of time about the stain on the garage floor. There were some interesting charges, which got more and more surreal as the night progressed due to the rising temperature in the sealed garage and the dropping Oxygen levels. (To this seasoned Sailor, it felt like being in a room of RAAF officers) There was the obligatory Rugby themed charge this week against Kiwis, and the hats in the circle charge made a triumphant return. PREMATURE EJACULATION was charged, firstly for wearing a MACINTOSH and looking like the iconic flasher / paedophile and secondly because the alarm from his detention ankle bracelet started sounding as the run passed the Franklin Primary school. CRASH and BURN, in his third attempt at being the stand in RA wasn't fucking it up too badly this time, spent a lot of time with his head tipped down towards the phone obviously monitoring the O2 levels. HIDDEN FLAGON spent the entire circle trying to remember a charge. GREASE NIPPLE confused BB and CC. HELLO KITTY and FLUID MOVEMENT were charged by COUNT HER FEET with something incomprehensible which inevitably bounced back. FLUMOO then gave the FRB to HELLO KITTY, CRASH and BURN forgot to bring the little prick into the venue. Birthdays: BB, SOFTY, SCARLETT, QL, and the lovely HOTLINKS. Annivs: 250 - PARTY PIE, 99 - DATE DIVER, 80 - BETTY BOOP, 970 - MEAT TO PLEEZE YOU, 880 - GREASE NIPPLE, and 190 - HELLO KITTY. BTW, the run scored 2/10. Notes by CSI (CUM STAINED INVESTIGATOR) If you, like me, were disappointed this evening because the outrageous, over the top, accent of the RA was not present, you can catch her on QBNFM 96.7 on Thurday nights. Just go to google and type "I'm feeling depressed, finish me off" [Ed. : PARAGRAPHS, he found PARAGRAPHS !]
