Burnie Hash Trash Compacter
Never fear, that doyen of blogging - GoneAgain - has foregone enjoying himself in some far off clime in order to produce a Burnie Trash suppository.
Click on the ‘Burnie Hash Trash’ link on the sidebar to be whisked away to a literary wonderland. Then literally wonder why you did it.
Each Trash a gem - now with added fibre. Mr GoneAgain, you’ve done it again.

HHH Hash Trash 27 February 2009
Having spent months staring wistfully out to sea, it's understandable that this week's hare, GonZo, is keeping her webbed feet moist with a run this Sunday starting at 5:30pm from the top boat ramp on the Inglis River. Yes, the TOP boat ramp. We all know what that means, don't we?
The feck I do. Top boat ramp? I lived in Wynyard for five years but I couldn't tell you how many boat ramps there are and where they are located! Top pub I know, but top boat ramp?!?
So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to say that this week's trail starts from the boat ramp off Saunders Street, Wynyard (near the bridge) on the basis that it's the only boat ramp in Wynyard I know. Here's the Google link:

If this is the wrong boat ramp, then a) it's not the first time and b) someone (i.e. GonZo or the Trailmaster) will let everyone know.
Assuming that you arrive at the boat ramp and other hashers are there, you should bring $10 for food and grog, a hat, mug, joke, friend, oar, piece of wood, (oar what?) and extra cash for GonZo's naughty-cal raffle.
-------------------------------
According to last week's poll, the best marketing plan for Nash Hash 2011 is to wear a map of Tasmania - just as well we don't live in Italy. Eleven people enjoy looking at a map of Tasmania, eclipsing the thylacine (2), beer (2) and apples (1 - was that YOU, Brian?).
This week's poll is: What should be the theme for Burnie's 1000th run celebration?

HHH Hash Trash 20 February 2009
That industrious hare, Speed Hump, has engineered an amazing trail this week, starting at 5:30pm from outside Stratton's Engineering in River Road, Wivenhoe.
Hearts will be pumping and hashers will get piston the weekly Hops offering, all for the meagre sum of $10; bring a hat, mug, joke, friend, silk purse, piece of wood and extra cash for GonZo's penguin-free raffle.
-------------------------------
Don't forget the Swine '09 - Park Beach H3's 10th anniversary Pig Pen run on Saturday 21 February. Full details at http://www.pigpenrun.org/.
-------------------------------
There was a tie in the results of last week's poll, with Green Acres' Arnold Ziffel and Animal Farm's Napoleon topping the list as the celebrity pig who would make the best hasher. Arnold was a cross-dresser (Arnold was a female), so I can understand the link to hash having walked around Hobart in a dress, while Napoleon was much like some JMs, whose names I dare not mention.
Miss Piggy and Porky Pig each recorded two votes - Miss Piggy I can understand, but what about Porky Pig says 'hash'?
One poll respondent selected Sam Newman; I will hunt this person down and ensure all web access privileges are revoked indefinitely.
This week's poll is: Which icon should be used to promote Tasmania at Nash Hash?

HHH Hash Trash 13 February 2009
While today is all black and catty, tomorrow is all red and rosy as hashers from around the state come together (ooh-aah) in their rouge-hued finery for the annual Red Dress charity run.
This year the run is supporting Cystic Fibrosis Tasmania and their '65 Roses' awareness campaign ('65 Roses' is held to be a small child's attempt to say 'Cystic Fibrosis'). Cystic Fibrosis, or CF, is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children, with at least 30% of teenagers with the disease not reaching adulthood.
Red-dressed hashers should assemble at the Regatta Pavilion at 1:30pm for pre-run fashion shoot, with 'on on' being called at 2:00pm. Cost is $25, which covers run, p!ss stop, special commemorative pin, printed patch, food and some after run drinks (BYO supplies if you want more than a taste).
Afterwards, those finding themselves all frocked up with no place to go will head to a local drinking establishment and try not to get kicked out because they're too old.
-------------------------------
Don't forget the Swine '09 - Park Beach H3's 10th anniversary Pig Pen run on Saturday 21 February. Full details at http://www.pigpenrun.org/.

The Burnie Hash red fashion stakes have been won by Ratchet, despite (or because of) some late fashion shots of Ringo and Urang.
This week's poll is: Which celebrity pig would make the best hasher?

HHH Hash Trash 6 February 2009
Somewhere on the outer tendrils of Burnie's suburbia a hare can be see gambolling among the thistles. On closer inspection, it can't really be called gambolling; not even capering to tell the truth. Lead-footed stomping might be more descriptive. Nevertheless, hare Dini sets this week's trail starting from the fresh produce outlet on Mount Road, just south of and opposite to Singline Avenue in Singline's Estate, upper upper downer Burnie.
The r*n starts at 5:30pm; bring hat, mug, $10 for food and bucket, pearls, chair, joke and friend. Bring extra cash for a chance to rummage around in GonZo's red bag of mystery objects.
-------------------------------
It would appear, unsurprisingly, that Burnie hashers would rather trust Ivan Milat than trust a Devonport hasher with the Hashit. It also appears that Flasher can access eight computers, or has an infinite number of monkeys clicking away at an infinite number of computers, while DickHead Web Wanker GoneAgain proved that running fifty three blogs keeps you too busy to rig a poll in your favour. Dyke, in recording no votes whatsoever, proved that he is possibly the only honest DH hasher and therefore a worthy recipient of the Hashit (albeit a replica, ice cream bucket version).
This week's poll is: Which male hasher looks best in a red dress?
