HHH Hash Trash 22 July 2011

To some, the sight of a crisp, white linen dress, the smell of a freshly clipped grass and the satisfying clunk of two heavy balls coming together is enough to commit whole weekends to.

Hare Dyke doesn't strike me as an avid watcher of Jack High, but for this week he's willing recognise the value of a good head, as Burnie trail starts at 3pm from the Turners Beach Bowls Club in Susan Street.

Personally, I'm disappointed that my dear reader is off having a terrible time in Europe, because I reckon she'd look a cracker in flat shoes and that fetching white hat they wear.

On on will be removed to the manor at 14-16 Coral Avenue, West Ulverstone.
Bring: Hat, Mug, Friend, Joke, $10 and raffle money, and extra drinks if you are a p*sshead.

HHH Hash Trash 15 July 2011

According to the Burnie Trash (about as reputable a source as News of the World) the next Burnie trail is a "Hippity Hoppity HOFT set by Phay Wray".

Try as I might, I have no idea what that involves.  I have sort of ruled out that it means bonking rabbit-style anything that moves, because Phay Wray is not that sort of gal.  Besides, if it moves it's already too fast for the average Burnie hasher to catch, let alone bonk.

It could mean an extended Easter egg hunt, finding three month old Easter eggs purchased on the cheap off eBay, because Phay Wray IS that sort of gal.

The only way to find out is to meet at 10:00am in the car park behind McDonalds, Ulverstone.

Standard Hashing attire suitable for the day’s weather, and a change of clothes. A mystery tour HOFT—bring cash for lunch and maybe dinner...

Vale Christopher 'Lord' Eden

It is with sadness that we report the recent passing of Christopher "Lord" Eden, co-founder of Hobart Hash House Harriers.

Lord Eden was an icon in Tasmanian hashing circles and supported our chapter's inaugural run in 1978:
Taking into account the limited intelligence and lack of experience of our pack, we invited one Lord Christopher Eden, co-founder of the Hobart Chapter and Rex Viney, Founder of the Launceston Chapter.
They failed to impress our members greatly.  The former, who had arrived in all his pomp and glory, was by the end of the day reduced to a mumbling drunk and the latter, who during the closing stages of the run, had his testicles rearranged whilst astride an electric fence in wet pastures, spent the rest of the evening snarling at anyone who went near him.

Lord Eden, now hashing with Cloud Nine H3.

Chris 'Lord' Eden left, with Mike Boss-Walker and Rex Viney
at Burnie H3's first run in November 1978

HHH Hash Trash 08 July 2011

High School reunions are generally awkward events, probably akin to sado-masichism but with far less leather.  It generally takes 10 or so years after leaving school to forget the horrible stuff enough to want to see how badly everyone else has fared.

Not hare LaLa, who is pining for the days of the old school yard enough to set this week's Burnie hash trail from Parklands High School, in Atkins Drive, Romaine.

There will be advanced finger painting classes and perhaps a 1980s video presentation on how to apply a condom to a banana (never worked out why you'd need to do that).  After school day care will be at 120 Mount St, Burnie.

Bring: Sun hat, drink flask, smutty joke, bestest friend, $10 canteen money, and extra money for the raffle bully.

HHH Hash Trash 01 July 2011

The King is dead.  Really dead, this time.

Like any newly-installed monarch, King Ringo the First has scarpered off in the regal economy class carrier of choice to visit his peers in the old country, leaving his loyal subjects to pretty much do what they like, which is what they would have done, regardless.  Meanwhile, the hare to the throne has been fitted into a fetching new red vest and is contemplating life as a tampon.

With King Ringo overseas, his loyal subjects have declared six weeks of feasting and will start with a gathering at 3pm from Royal Wimbeldon (Burnie sub-branch), Eastwood Drive, Burnie, under the republican gaze of hare Sword Swallower (let them drink cake!).

Bring: Hat Mug Joke Friend $10, raffle money and extra drinks.
