HHH Hash Trash 28 November 2008

Who'd have thought that being Grand Master was such a difficult job?  The mobile postcode has almost been stationary on the NW Coast and the GM has had two haring duties this month!  Just as well she didn't get a job with DickHead Hash too.

This Sunday the low dog and the low dog's travelling companion, A Bit if This, set forth from the Surf Club; not the Forth Surf Club but the Somerset Surf Club.

The r*n starts at 5:30pm; bring a hat, mug, $10 for bucket and burgers, piece of wood, ocarina, and a friend.  Bring extra money for a chance to win something.  Maybe.

-------------------------------

According to last week's poll, the annual High Noon for Full Moon ranks highest on the list of away hash events that hashers look forward to attending (9 votes), which augers well for next year's skirmish at Ross in January 2009 (was that a clue?).  Also ranking high was Chardonnay's Highland Fling (6 votes), for you cannot go wrong at an event with kilts.  On the subject of men in skirts, the annual Red Dress charity run came in third (2 votes), with Devonport's Tour de Pisse a distance fourth (1 vote).  Organisers of the Park Beach H3's Pig Pen and H5's Oktoberfest need better promotion in the north west, with neither event in the rankings.

This week's poll is: Which club's haberdashery has the biggest impact?

Happy Birthday to Burnie Hash's Brothers

On a sunny day a long long time ago, somewhere north of the South Pole, a man in a white coat held up two squirming newborns and spanked them firmly on the arse. This was pretty much the last normal thing that ever happened in the lives of Grizzly and Chunder.

To the length and the breadth of Burnie Hash, we all wish them both a very happy day and many more On Ons.

Hash Trash 21 November 2008

Ever since Ratchet was transplanted, pruned and sprayed to Gawler, all bar one of his runs have started from the back door of the hacienda.  This week, however, Ratchet has thrown off the shackles (and Knickers' job list) to head out into territory unknown - the Sith Cala Nature Reserve, Bretts Road, North Motton.

From the hare himself, directions are: from the Bass Hwy, turn off and pass through Gawler and on through the township of North Motton.  Just a few hundred metres past the town turn right into Bretts Road [approximately 6.3km from Gawler shop].  This becomes a gravel road after about a kilometre.  Continue along the gravel for about half a km and take the first turn right into the Sith Cala Nature Reserve.  It is signposted but you cannot see the signs until you have turned off, and at first it appears you are turning into a farmhouse.

New territory! You lucky people.

The r*n starts at 5:30pm; bring a hat, mug, $10 for bucket and burgers, piece of wood, chartreuse, and a friend.  Bring extra money for a chance to win something vaguely drinkable, edible, usable or wearable.

-------------------------------

Heaping indignity upon last week's assault (course), our poor On Sec finds out from the weekly poll that almost half of her readership doesn't read the Hash Trash!  From twelve responses, only one admits to reading the Trash at the on on, four wait until they get home, while two wait for their next bowel movement to read it (perhaps it is used as an aid).  Four admit to only looking at the pictures and one dastard doesn't read it at all.  There were no responses to reading just before setting fire to it, meaning that Dint doesn't visit the Burnie blog site.

This week's poll is: Which annual hash away event do you most look forward to?
Go to http://www.burniehhh.blogspot.com/, look for the poll on the right side of the page and record your vote (closes next Thursday).

On the subject of polls - a last-minute surge saw Dini crowned as Tasmania's 'foxiest filly' in the Chardonnay H3 poll, after days of neck-and-necking with Zero (eewwww).

Hash Trash 14 November 2008

After every good party there's a hangover to deal with. After Wednesday's 30th anniversary bash, the hangover comes this Sunday in the form of a HOFT from Leven Canyon to Gunns Plains, led by hare of the dog, Flasher.

This will be no walk in the park - experienced bush wankers say that this will take 12 hours, with some sections of the track where it will be lucky to achieve 1km per hour (a sprint, in my books).

The hashing old farts will be leaving Ulverstone McDonalds' car park at 8:00 am.
Bring everything you would expect to need for such a walk (EPERB, rations, torch, etc.) and be sure to select which person to cannibalise before you leave.

-------------------------------

Last week's poll indicated that the On Sec is the most powerful member of the Mismanagement Committee (after the GM and JMs). That was until the Web Wanker proved that he is the most powerful by removing all evidence and adding a nasty picture of the On Sec on the blog. Bwahahahahahaha.

For the record, before removing the poll the results were:
On Sec - 4 votes
Hash Hops - 3 votes
Hash Lip - 2 votes
Hash Cash - 1 vote
Trailmaster - 1 vote
Hash Monk - 1 vote
Web Wanker - 42,354 votes
In response, it's light beer from here on in, run fees have been increased to $15, hares will be conscripted five minutes before the run start* and it will rain at 5:30 pm every Sunday.
* some would say that this has been happening for a while

This week's poll is: When do you read your weekly hash trash?
Go to http://www.burniehhh.blogspot.com/, look for the poll on the right side of the page and record your vote (closes next Thursday).

On the subject of polls - Dini is currently coming second in Chardonnay H3's 'foxiest filly' poll. This might appear to be a good thing, but coming first at the moment is Zero. Head to http://www.chardonnayh3.blogspot.com to help Dini out (or to stick the boots in).

HHH Hash Trash 12 November 2008

Do not adjust your calendars - despite your wildest dreams you haven't skipped forward in time by two days to suddenly arrive at weekend's eve.

This special mid-week trash is to wish Burnie Hash 'happy birthday', for it was 30 years ago today that a pack of thirteen unsuspecting men (and two suspect visitors) followed a trail of flour set by a couple of demented hares around the rural setting of West Ridgley.

In those 30 years since, we have seen a chainsaw massacre at Mooreville Road Hall, Viking longboats, near drownings, Effie the Emu, topless waitresses, hot tubs, two-tonne barbecues, waterfalls, Hash Hotline (315 665), snow, gunge, runs with no pack, runs with no hare, nasally-expelled tea, Cheveaux Road (8km to go), frogs legs, exploding concrete, Slice 'n' Fry, bogged cars, bogged mobile postcodes, mirror balls, chariots, weddings, dogs, buses, trains, floating doors, four Hashits, shiggy, beer-dispensing urinals, the Dial Range in complete darkness (twice) and so much more.

We have welcomed new members and farewelled old members.  We have consumed a lake of beer and ginger beer and cooked kilometres of sausages.  Many thousands of words have been put to print - some intelligent, some unintelligible.

And so it continues tonight with a special pearl anniversary run set by our esteemed Grand Master from the Moose Farm at 448 West Mooreville Road, Burnie.  Trail starts at 6.30 pm for a short r*n, long on on, and a trawl through the old trashes (why buy toilet rolls?) and Burnie Hash Relics. See our collection of sepia pictures featuring strangely familiar thin-looking hashers wearing tight shorts, body-hugging bonds tees and KT26 joggers. And if that’s not enough to get you along on a Wednesday night, there’s free beer and food!

Bring a hat, mug, joke, friend, piece of wood for the Herr Flick memorial fire pot and wear pearl jewellery of your choice.

On! on! To the next 30 years!

Hash Trash 07 November 2008

We've had a Ball being Vikings, but the time has come to get back to the spiritual side of hashing, and who better to lead us into temptation and deliver us some evil than our own hare-y Hash Monk, DT.

This Sunday the faithful will gather under warm spring skies for the sermon from the Mount(ello).  After a blessing, the pack will cry "On! On!" at the appointed hour (and ten minutes) of 5:30pm and depart from 26 Stirling Street, Montello to spread the gospel of Gispert to the great un-hashed.

The worthy should bring a hat (for 'G' should not have to look down upon a naked head), a mug (to hold the spirit of 'G') (or beer), $10 (a small tithing to cover beer), a joke (for 'G' loveth a good jape… and a beer), a chair (for the chosen position of reverence so as to not spill the beer) and a calendar (with which to brandish at the Trailmaster).

-------------------------------

Five hashers managed to select a winner in last week's Burnie H3 blog poll, tipping Barack Obama to win the big race.  Three tipped Makybe Diva to win, with no-one selecting John McCain.

This week's poll is: After the GM and JMs, which position is the most powerful in hash?
