Run 1347, 25 Oct 2009 Hare: Bovine Breeder & Peanuts Venue: Post Balls up Recovery Run
A reasonable sized pack turned up for the Lakeside Balls Up Recovery Run. Peanuts had very generously offered her lovely cottage on Campbell Street for the On On. Bovine Breeder had very foolishly volunteered to set the Recovery Run not knowing that he would have to drag Big Bang kicking and screaming from an after party of the Balls Up that was specializing in exotic cocktails at 3am in the morning.
The Rabble (note the capital “R”) having finally arrived, begrudgingly left Peanuts place. But only after many inquiring comments, as well as some gentle and not so gentle reminders to Bovine that Recovery Runs are for recovery, and therefore are supposed to be short runs. Unbeknownst to the Rabble, Bovine was not pleased to have only slept for 3 hours and then having to spend 2.5 hours setting the run. Therefore, Bovine was not nasty or vindictive, but he certainly enjoyed setting a run that ran for over 90 minutes. (Yippee to payback!).
Top Gum got lost well early into the run and Bubble Gum feigned concern for his whereabouts. Having run around the parks in Burnley and along the Yarra River, the Rabble did a nice long on back that was nearly 1km long. Crossing the railway bridge into the POSH SUBURB OF TOORAK. (yes I said TOORAK). The pack wandered around finding lots and lots of onbacks that Bovine had conveniently left around. The Rabble passed many uppity residents from TOORAK that frowned down upon this disheveled visitors that were obviously lost and from outside of TOORAK.
After the pleasures of TOORAK, the Rabble wandered back over to Burnley and Richmond where there were still more onbacks and still more bloody trail. The Rabble remained together for most of the run until Swan St was reached and a number of hashers decided that prudency was to be found at Peanuts place. Those that abandoned the Run shall heretofore be known as the Short-Cutting-Bastards, and they include E&B, Cheesecake, Top Gum, Bubble Gum, Holy Sh%t, Cutloose, Colours, Screaming Mee Mee from Christchurch, NZ, Spud from Hammersly WA, Jitterburg from Traralgon Vic close by to Christchurch NZ also. In fact only 4 x hashers actually made it to the end and they will forever be exalted in the hallowed halls of the warrior elite. These hashers of true strength were Cooch, Wack! Prince and Bovine Breeder. With all the onbacks, the run was probably about 12 km in length. According to Wack! the highlight of the run was “the finish……”
A circle was had with leftover punch, champagne, toasted sandwiches, and buns from Peanuts.
