Our hares promised us a jaunt around the unhashed bits of Upper Kedron - and they delivered! We started off from a really popular playground, then crossed the road to a school (reminded me of the old saying "You can say what you like about paedophiles, but at least they drive slowly past playgrounds and schools") and after that I have no idea where we were. There seemed to be a surprising amount of bush left among the houses...and a lot of opportunities for some fiendish checks and false trails. The on, on featured three delish courses! I'll post the recipe for the spinach soup later if I can get it off Miss Demeanour...many thanks to the hares!
We farewelled Hardcore - off to Europe to enjoy her hard-earned prize for being a top-selling travel agent. And we exclaimed at the coincidence of Hot to Trot, Slammit, Upfront, Superhacker and Hopalong all ending up in the same carriage of a Sydney-bound train this week.
There were some good jokes at the on, on. And here's another that I forgot to tell:
Bob and his mates are planning a 5-day fishing trip to Fraser Island. But the day before they are due to leave has to tell them that he can't go because his wife won't let him.
So they are really surprised when they find him at the barge the next morning, standing beside his vehicle and downing a beer.
"How did you talk your wife into letting you go, Bob?"
"I didn't have to," he says. "Last I night I was sitting in front of the TV feeling really depressed. Then my wife came up behind me, covered my eyes and said, 'Surprise!' When I peeled her hands back, she was standing there in a beautiful see-through negligee. She said, 'Carry me into the bedroom and tie me to the bed - and you can do whatever you want'...so here I am."
There'll be a Brazilian (hareless) run to start the new financial year....
Next run details
When: Sunday 3rd July, 4 pm
Where: Undambi Rotary Reserve, corner Mt O'Reilly Road and Greggs Road
Hares: M. Promptu will set the run; Potluck will cater (please bring something to share)
On, on!

Eweshggr shouts!
In celebration of his birthday Eweshggr shouted the drinks this last Sunday. Now there's a precedent for other wealthy hashers to follow! And that wasn't all - those who turned up to celebrate were also treated to some classy rainforest running and walking, a choice of birthday cakes, and a top Scotch tasting...a couple of visitors had traveled all the way from New Zulund just for the free grog! Beer, pies and peas were just what was needed to build up our strength and restore out precious bodily fluids after an enjoyable series of checkbacks, false trails, memorable descents - and even more memorable climbs....Many thanks to the hares!
Eweshggr's granddaughter was asked how old he was. "Eighty eight," she replied confidently. If that's so, all I can say is that hashing keeps you young. Here are a few shots from a few years back in a long hashing career:
There were a number of jokes at the on, on - but here's one that Eweshggr forgot to tell in the circle (poor old thing - memory going - you know how it is):
An elderly Irish farmer receives a letter from the Department of Employment saying that they suspect he's not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and that an inspector is coming to interview him.
On the appointed day the inspector arrives. "Who works on this farm?" he asks, "and what do you pay them?"
"Well," says Paddy, "there's the farm hand. I pay him 240 pounds a week, and he has a free cottage. Then there's the housekeeper. She gets 190 pounds a week, plus free board and lodging. There's also the half-wit. He works 16 hour days, does 90% of the work, earns about 25 pounds a week along with a bottle of whiskey, and as a special treat occasionally gets to sleep with my wife."
"That's disgraceful," says the inspector. "I need to interview the half-wit."
"You're talking to him now," says Paddy.
Next run details

Where: Park corner Upper Kedron Road and Cemetery Road, Upper Kedron (opposite St Andrew's School). Here's a map!
Hares: Miss Demeanour and Shockjock (and Co.)
