Run 1386, 14 Jul 2010 Hare: Big Bang, Coooch & SOAS Venue: Django Django, 356 Brunswick St, Fitzroy

  La Marseillaiese – French National Anthem   Arise children of the fatherland   The day of glory has arrived   Against us tyranny’s   Bloody standard is raised   Listen to the sound in the fields   The howling of these fearsome soldiers   They are coming into our midst   To cut the throats of your sons and consorts   To arms citizens Form your battalions   March, march   Let impure blood   Water our furrows   How   does one celebrate Bastille Day? Do we go down to the creek and hunt   for frogs and snails? Do we go to a French Restaurant and order a   Pastis? Do we eat a croissant, followed by a baguette and cheese,   drowned by a good Pouilly Fuisse? No. we go to the home of gypsy jazz   music named after Beau Django….. yes we went to Django Django   Restaurant.

  It is perhaps ironic that the French celebrate Bastille day, by singing the song of   La Marseillaise that   was inspired and reflects the invasion of France by Prussian and   Austrian Armies, and yet our very own Grand Mistress is French German. So who liberates who?

  It  had been raining all day and even though Big Bang valiantly set the run that afternoon, by the time that we all gathered at the restaurant most of the trail would have been eradicated. Arriving at the eleventh hour  from stage left appeared behind a puff of smoke the dazzling visions of  the two saviours – Cooch and Sh#t Off A Shovel (SOAS). These two super  heroes realising that they needed some more spice in their lives  decided that a Live Run was the order of the day and they would be the  ones to provide that spectacle.

  The   pack allowed the deadly duo a good head start of nearly 20 minutes. We ran through the back streets of Fitzroy passing over the carrion and carcasses of Dutch Soccer Fans. Spanish Flags flew proudly over this  quarter. We continued into the back streets of Carlton where a decided  absence of chalk finally resulted with the Pack or the Lakeside Peloton  deciding at the Physics Faculty to abandon the run and seek more drier  and warmer confines known as Django Django. It is notable that the entire pack including the walkers, all arrived back before the hares did.

  The   feast was a Beef Bourguignon with Puree Pomme de Terre with slices of crisp pain. This was washed down with the complimentary and obligitary red wine. Desert was a choice of Chocolate Pate, Apple Crumble, Pancakes and a special blend of Ethiopian Coffee that is to die for.

  The circle charged the hares and the run was rated with 8.5 out of 10.   XRated, Deep Throat and a number of walkers were charged for shortcutting the  run and getting back way too early.   We had brand new Virgins of Uli and Nadia come along. Welcome to you both and  hopefully you may come along again in the future.   Klingon – sans Chiko, was charged for being sans Chiko.   Klingon  was also charged for doing a terrible job as Religious Advisor by  ensuring that the Gods sought vengeance on his non-believing atheist  soul.   E&B was in fine form regaling us with inspiring verses of the wittiest hash ditties  and songs.   Tripod  was excellent as Sergeant and correctly explained that when the weather  was good, that this was the result of his doing. And that when the  weather was inclement, ie. Like last night, that this was the fault of   that heathen Klingon.   Bovine  charged SOAS, Crack Up and the Udder look alike – Tricky Dicky for  being the only ones to have completed all of SOAS torturous runs and  presented the tshirt for the only 3 hashers to have accomplished this   feat.   All  the Collingwood supporters were charged including myself, Big Bang,  Flem, It Wasn’t Me, Nor Me, GG and Prince. Is it just me but there really aren’t enough Collingwood supporters in the world?

  Next weeks run is the Peninsula Ladies H3 AGM on Thursday 22 July at 1900  hours.
