Run: #2263 – Pal’ass of the Kings

Date: Monday 2/10/23
Location: Tewantin
Hares: Reverse Thai King Thrust & Bedspringer

Crowds of Pilgrims (Hashers) flocked to the Tewantin Thai Palace to worship and celebrate the King’s 68th birthday.

Reverse Thrust announced that there would be his usual style of trail set – I thought it might have been the ‘keep turning right’ set of instructions with no arrows marked. We went out through the back gate, tall grass, Read Park Bushland Reserve and crossing over to the Noosa Sports Grounds. There was a walkers and runners split early on which led the runners around the oval. Breathless was actually on the runner’s trail and was seen looking for trail in the bushes with Licker. It did eventually take us around the cemetery where some markings were a bit scarce – the hare’s excuse was that he was worried the caretaker was going to remove all traces of trail. At the end of Outlook Drive, I thought it was a council worker in his hi-vis jacket on the side of the road, but instead it was the King’s refreshment stop. As we entered into the Alec Loveday Park, Wetcheck had a mishap but was fortunate there were many able to assist – even attention from the King himself. We ran along Cranks Creek, past the Doonella Wetlands Nature Refuge, over Poinciana Ave and a lap around the oval to home.

The walkers report was given by Hoarder – a well set trail, had an enjoyable threesome on trail as she was at the ‘tailend’ with Mother Trucker in the bush. Kaffir gave the runners report as he reckoned Hoarder had forgot everything, so he gave a detailed report instead!

Down downs were given to:

• Visitors: Bob (Turtle’s bro), Dick Bender (Turtle was to blame – again)
• Shit Stirrer Award: Licker – when Red Knob asked her if she was going to the run tonight, she replied “of course I’m going – I’m the f**king GM!” An extra charge was for being a ‘honest’ person and giving Hash Cash $40 for raiding the bucket over the weekend
• Red Knob – the fashionista sporting the summer look of wearing shorts and showing off his legs, he also gave a fashion tip: you don’t have to wax you legs if you wear tight enough jeans as the hairs will just fall off!
• milestone award: Popeye (100 runs) – it did take him 5 years to earn it…
• Digit Digester and Wet Check – nurse Digit bandaged up Wet Check when she took a tumble but we wondered who was out doing who in the accident prone department?
• Bob somehow got named ‘Bonking’ – so when one king drinks, all kings drink – Sukkon (Scottish King), RT (Thai King) & Bonking (Turtle’s newly named brother). I think Licker should have been there too as she’s known as the F**KING GM…
• Birthdays – RT, Possum, Woof Woof, Miss Belinda Snoggs, Bonking
• Woof Woof & DT – next time you take your dog for walkies, make sure you pick up after them as the trail was full of dog turd!
• Kondom – had a second erection, apparently built a shit house that looks remarkably like a pool pump house at the Thai Palace.

After announcing the ‘lucky coupon free drink’ was won by Recharge, we tucked into the sumptuous feast from Mama’s Italian kitchen followed by birthday cake! No wonder Kaffir was confused – he asked if it was a restaurant run from the Thai Palace which served Italian cuisine!

We were blessed with a public holiday, good weather and a great turnout. Many thanks for the hospitality – Your Majesty (RT) & Your Royal Highness (BS) for throwing open your palace gates for yet another excellent hash night!
