HHH Hash Trash 28 April 2011

Just west of Sheffield is a little mark on the map labelled 'Nowhere Else'.  This week's Burnie trail isn't there; it's somewhere else.

Somewhere.  Urang knows where, because he's the hare (or he will know by at least 4:00pm on Sunday).  For now we provide the vague details of somewhere in Wragg Street, Somerset.  You're all enterprising people so I know that a little vagueness will not stop you from attending (you'll find some other excuse!).

Bring: Hat Mug Joke Friend $10, raffle change, and extra drinks if you are a p*sshead.

HHH Hash Trash 21 April 2011

Easter - the only time of the year where eating something small and brown that has been left behind by a rabbit is considered normal.

The Easter hare has packed up and is heading to one of Burnie's expanding western suburbs - a little place called Marrawah.  The HOFT (actually three HOFTs) will encompass a series of short walks in the Tarkine area — including Trowutta Arch, Lake Chisholm, Beckett Falls, Balfour Track Forest Reserve, Sarah Ann Rocks, Marrawah coastal walks, others as dictated by time and weather.

Friday 22nd HOFT - meet at Macca’s Burnie @ 10 am.
Saturday 23rd HOFT - meet at Marrawah Pub @ 9am.
Sunday 24th HOFT - meet at Marrawah Pub @ 9am.

Organise own accommodation if required. Bring: Gear suitable for daywalk (potentially in wet conditions - the monk has the weekend off), your lunch, and food to share for Friday dinner (it’s Good Friday and everything is closed!), plus the usual Hat Mug Joke Friend $10, extra drinks, money for Pub grub Saturday.

HHH Hash Trash 15 April 2011

The mathematicians amongst us would no doubt recognise that the number of this week's Burnie trail - 1101 - is the binary representation of the decimal number 13.

Luckily, the average Burnie hasher is unconcerned by superstition (and the average Devonport hasher can't count past 10), so any suggestions of impending disaster at the hare-y hands of Ringo will be met with stoic resolve and stiff upper lip (or other body parts capable of occasional stiffening).  Mirror breaking and ladder limbo dancing will commence at 4:00pm SHARP from an undisclosed point past the Highclere 'shop' (look for signs, such as a black cat crossing the road).

Bring a hat, mug, joke, friend, $10, raffle change and extra drinks if you are a p!sshead.

HHH Hash Trash 08 April 2011

On one thousand, and ninety nine occasions some flour has been ritually thrown to the ground in and around the Burnie area, shortly thereafter eagerly followed by a group of athletes.  Sure, sometimes it hasn't been flour - or even trail - and sometimes it's not been in or around Burnie (unless you class the crime-riddled streets of West Moonah as a suburb of Burnie).  Granted, they're not all athletes, either.  Not even 'special' athletes.

Regardless, this Sunday marks the 1,100th occasion of something that may or may not resemble a trail set for the Burnie Hash House Harriers, which is by most standards something to be celebrated.  Unless you happen to be a member of the Burnie hash House Harriers, apparently.

So, this Sunday hare Ratchet will deliver his usual high standard of trail, sans trumpets and fanfare to mark the auspicious milestone (although the usual strumpets will be in attendance), starting at 4pm from 1054 Isandula Road, Gawler.

Bring a hat, mug, joke, friend, $10, raffle change and extra drinks if you are a p!sshead.  Who knows, perhaps there'll be a chocolate biscuit to celebrate - just the one, mind you.
-------------------------------

This weekend also sees the nuptials of Grand Master BoomBoom and Joint Master Giggles (let us hope that there's no confusion and he doesn't accidentally wind up with JM Urang!).  Congratulations to both lovely people and we wish them all the hashing best for the future!

HHH Hash Trash 01 April 2011

April Fools Day - very tempting to use the occasion to announce something seemingly newsworthy but ultimately bogus, such as 'A Bit of This renounces her British citizenship and thinks the Australian cricket team "a top bunch of blokes" ', but some stories are just too hard to swallow.

Speaking of swallow (note segue), this week's Burnie Hash run will be the virgin Tasmanian trail for hares Pucker Boy and Sword Swallower, set from the Burnie tennis courts at Eastwood Drive.  Be prepared for non-standard markings, strange trail deviations and foreign hash traditions.  Much like your average GonZo run, I suspect (c'mon, smoked oysters on Iced Vovos?).

With the demise of daylight savings (he types, shedding a tear), this week's pack will be sent off at 4pm.

Bring a hat, mug, joke, friend, $10, raffle change and extra drinks if you are a p!sshead.
