Mad as a hasher!

Q: Who chooses to go running or walking through Indooroopilly and Long Pocket when it's 35 degrees?
A: Members of Samford Hash...mad as hashers!

Q: Who takes a cat on walk through Indooroopilly and Long Pocket?
A: Members of Sanford Hash...mad as hashers!

Maddest of all were our hares Superhacker and Hopalong, who set the run earlier in the day, when it was even hotter....

That said, they certainly took us on an interesting route - through developments we'd never visited before, and along the river behind the Long Pocket labs - all new ground to us Samford bumpkins.

At the on, on some members showed off their skills at the piano. Others showed considerable culinary skills as they assembled their DIY rice paper wraps:


And Shockjock showed off his skills as a lingerie-maker as he constructed some edible rice-paper panties:


Two little jokes now in honour of our resident magicians and circus performers:

A couple are finding out about one another on their first date.
"What does your father do for a living?"
"He's a magician. He cuts people in two."
"And do you have any brothers and sisters?"
"Yes - one half-brother and one half-sister...."

Q. What do you do when you're attacked by a bunch of circus performers?
A. Go for the juggler!

Next week we are going to be lowering the tone of Deception Bay. Some will be meeting for lunch and jazz at Mermaid's Cafe...and the run will be from nearby.

Next run details
When: Sunday 27th February, 5 pm
Where: Corner Bayview Terrace and Captain Cook Parade, Deception Bay. A map!

On, on!

An evening of elegance...

Samford Hash celebrated its 20th birthday this weekend with a classy cocktail soiree ("A what?" "French for pissup, sport." "Oh."). We proved that we can really scrub up - even the scrubbers:


A few regulars were very soiree to miss out, including Leave Pass (in Japan), Topless (in Germany) and Miss Demeanour and kids (in Disposed). But here are some snaps of some snappy dressers...

Three elegant ladies (Warnie, if you're reading this and want their contacts, just email us):


One elegant lady:


And another:


Two elegant oldtimers:


But who let these two in?


And would you really want to run with this man?


Surprise, surprise! Hardcore does not always wear runners!


And here are some elegant blokes (spot the odd man out):


The cocktail competition was the main event, and there were some pretty stunning contenders for the top rankings:


Eweshagger's tasty concoction - with its tasteless name - definitely came tops for looks:


But in the end, he and Shockjock shared the honours:


One of the losers took to sucking his thumb:


And Hardcore had to comfort another:


Payback easily won the bra-removal competition:


But the Deportment competition was very hard to judge:


All in all - a great night - plenty to drink - and plenty to celebrate. Thanks to all for their contributions....and you'll be relieved to know that Shockjock did not actually expire of thirst:


Jamesbondage and Redbreast followed this classy event up with a classy run through Stafford and Enoggera. It proved an intelligence test for the runners - which they passed with flying colours! The walk/run took in a section of Kedron Brook that we have never explored before...eventually, I guess, we will have traversed its full length. Leftovers supplemented a great casserole - those who missed out really did miss out!

Runs for the next couple of weeks are also out of the valley.
