Hash 16 May 2016
Hosted by Ill Capo - no scripture seems to have eventuated,
but we must surely record the naming of Black Swan, Firstcummer, Loose Lips,
Pusiapa, Angry Bird and little Marco Polo.
Hash 23 May 2016
With Pumouli still overseas and yours truly just returned,
it seemed the right thing to do to volunteer as the scribe –
we couldn’t possibly have two more runs off the record!
This hash was at Eveready and Karaoke’s place, and
the theme pink as usual there. What was unusual was the length of the run: 9km
set! We started a bit late, and so most of us took a shorter route to return
before dark when the nuts and keg were waiting.
The grand circle counted 33 heads, with newcomers Prue and
Barry from EnZed, Screamer from Oz, and Ruby, Grace, Sarah and Connor from the
YouKay, plus Wendy from the YouEsOfA? It proved worthwhile to have trained
introducees in hash rules, as HotNuts had to take a double and ACDC a single
for their non-hash names being used in vain by these newcomers.
Many retreads this month: ACDC, Godfather, Karaoke,
Eveready, Mr Whippy and Prince – in all excuses their families played a
big role as you would expect. Shoe inspector Firstcummer did not take long to
point the finger at Cunning Linguists whose neon laces had already provoked
much glee before. In the absence of Pomouli, any relevant historic events were
simply ignored.
Sort-of celebrities were the Joseph Parker and referee
lookalikes Prince and Godfather, a car crash pointed the finger at Crash, a
suicide-by-??? to Swinger and TV appearance by Devine were all good for
down-downs, as was Strapon for some obscure reason. Referring to the Rugby 7s,
Sarah appeared most closely linked to Scotland and Godfather to Fiji, although
ACDC got a downdown relating to “my history” whatever that item in my notes means.
Nominations from the floor came from Il Capo to Eveready for
setting an impossibly long run which had however been set by Crash;
yet-to-be-named Phil for being a bad artist (having his elei printing destroyed
by the housekeeper rather than him ironing it himself); and for Swinger for
ignoring the run-setter’s shout that he was going the wrong way.
Sassygirl nominated Firstcummer and GM for noisy wining and
dining, which was reciprocated to Sassygirl for her liking the shapes of empty
winebottles too much. What do we make of this, I wonder!
Firstcummer nominated a three musketeers award to Godfather,
HotNuts and Swinger for rescuing some of her Marguerita that went flying, the
glass with ¼ content caught by Godfather and some of the spilt juice being
licked off thighs by HotNuts - who gave
an impressive theatrical impression of what had gone on in the public eye. And
Swinger? He had gallantly footed the bill…
Sassygirl also nominated Black Swan as the longest person
standing at a party and then wanting to take a taxi in pursuit of a friendly
driver to go out with. Il Capo nominated Lewinsky for no longer wanting to
drink beer, but his drinking of wine resulting in dangerous movements towards
the loo – his effort to reciprocate with a “peeping Tom
award” failed. Mr Whippy nominated Crime for the Good Samaritan
award, ie for reminding of the all-important pink outfit. Lewinsly nominated
Eveready and Karaoke for setting a bad example by leaving their weed out to dry
–
which is a Crime of course. Apparently “It was an experiment”!
Well this was all going on a bit long but whatever.
Hops got a double downdown for firstly not stepping forward
as a retread and secondly for forgetting his hash name when paying hash cash!
Was it really that long ago (or Alzheimer’s)? - but at least he paid. Sassygirl
nominated Screamer (from Oz) as an imposter for our own absent Screamer.
Eveready then took the floor to announce the birth of his
granddaughter Maya (number four, plus a grandson but he admitted losing track
of). A head-wetting toast was combined with that for the Hare (Crash) and both
hosts (Eveready and Karaoke).
But it wasn’t over yet, as all those not wearing any
pink (in honour of the hosts’ daughter Luanna, whose favourite colour
this had been) got to do a few push-ups, another opportunity for HutNuts to
show off while some others suffered. Upon complementing Delicious on looking
deliciously slim, Godfather did a swash performance of our favourite “Wise
men say..” in a tight circle of swinging singers. One to remember –
if it wasn’t for all those down-downs!
On On
