Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Back in 2012 we featured a gallery of hash injuries (don't we look young?) And over the years we've shared images (avoid these if you're squeamish) of Culture's wrist (broken during a Wednesday run), Strine's African spider bite, Superhacker's broken knee, Haughty's broken elbow, and other gruesomes I'm sure you'd find if you trolled through the archives. In 2014 we took a group shot of ouches for the benefit of posterity:


And we could certainly have done something of the sort again this last Sunday if we'd remembered a camera and if the MBRC picnic shelter lights had been working. Apart from Cadbury (still recovering in ICU) we had

  • Payback sporting a badly grazed and infected knee after being pulled to the ground by Fizza's enormous dog;
  • Budgie suffering the effects of some extreme dentistry;
  • Shaggy having to be rescued midway through the run when something snapped in his foot (he ended up in hospital);
  • Haughty behaving like a real girl after straining his calf; and
  • Le W*nk suffering from a bad attack of bone-laziness.

Payback took us on a well-marked and pleasant circuit of the Eatons Hill area, laying on a memorable carpet of jacaranda flowers at about the half-way mark. And Cashconverta excelled herself in the culinary department, producing more than enough rib-filling tucker for the 30 or so of us who were there. Many thanks, hares!

Plans are well underway for Hash Christmas on 13th December. We'd set the date before we found out that the 2019 Red Dress Run had been shifted from the 9th to the 13th - so Samford won't be frocking up in public this year. But we will hold a bit of a collection for the Salvos at our party, and you're encouraged to wear red.

Next run details
When: Sunday 24th November, 5 pm
Where: Teralba Park, Mitchelton - at the Scout Hut on Pullen Road. A map!
Hares: Le W*nk and Lax

On, on!
