Run: #2243 – You’re invited to the Housewarming Party…
Date: Monday 15/5/23
Location: Tewantin
Hares: Ma’ Dog, Delilah & Scrumpy
With Bundy and Boobs away on vacation, Ma’ Dog had a very cunning plan of cleverly disguising a ‘housewarming party’ with a hash run! Even with the past few days of torrential rain, it didn’t dampen his enthusiasm of throwing the party of the year!
There were only the ‘hardy’ party hashers that turned up, not the wimpy ones that were afraid of getting their hair or shoes wet. Even Miss Belinda Snogs who’s not a regular Noosa Hasher came along. About ten minutes before the start, Nafa armed with chalk went out to reset trail. The hashers waited patiently for another twenty minutes until there was a slight clearing in the rain. The majority stayed behind as the Hash Bar was declared OPEN while the seven hashers that went for a quick stroll with umbrellas were: Woof Woof, Top Down, Miss Bossy Boots, Ride On, All Fours, Screamer and Unremarkable. A 2km around the block along Blackheath Dr, Furness Dr, St Andrews Dr, Linksland St and back home to Cambuca Ct. Sadly, trail that had been marked by Delilah and Ma’ Dog numerous times and remarked by Nafa was all washed out!
Returning from the walk, we could hear the stereo cranked up, blasting fab hits from the 70’s to the 80’s such as The Trammps – ‘Disco Inferno’, Talking Heads – ‘Burning Down the House’, Billy Joel – ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’, just to name a few. The housewarming party was just getting started, I hope the neighbours won’t complain too much…
Woof Woof gave the run report with a 10 out of 10 score! The stand in Song Meister was Next Week belting out a few down down songs for:
- Biggles – he hasn’t been at the hash for ages but has promised that he will coming fortnightly
- Nafa – reset trail but we all wondered when he would return (when he realised it was raining or when he ran out of chalk?)
- Delilah & Scrumpy – virgin hares but were under the expert guidance of an old hand, Ma’ Dog
- Woof Woof & DT – another lot of hashers off for 6 weeks holiday up North to Carpentaria, where no one is around (I guess they have to dispose the dead bodies somewhere right?!)
- Ma’ Dog – celebrated his 71st birthday. In true style he spared no expense and offered port all around (the $6 bottle variety!)
A huge thanks for Ma’ Dog, Delilah and Scrumpy for hosting an awesome party and serving such scrumptious curries – these hashers have been spoilt.
One of my favourite songs that I haven’t heard in a long while until tonight, was pumping from the dancefloor. I’m going to leave you with some lyrics from the second verse which I thought was quite apt:
‘Burning Down the House’ – song by Talking Heads in 1983
Hold tightWait ’til the party’s overHold tightWe’re in for nasty weatherThere has got to be a wayBurning down the house
On OnAll Fours
