Run 1390, 11 Aug 2010 Hare: Wack Venue: George Hotel – South Melbourne Chiko’s RIP Run
Another miserable night in terms of the weather, albeit warm and cosy inside the George Hotel. A pack of 20+ turned up to pass on their respects to Chiko the faithful hound of Klingon who recently cashed in his dog biscuits and retired to the afterlife. (Chiko not Klingon). To commemorate Chiko, Bovine and his eager band at Embroidme mob produced special Bark-On Memorial Run T Shirt designed to “Never forget the Chiko”.
The pack headed straight past the South Melbourne Market, over the train line and into the cobbled streets of South Melbourne. The pack soon split up into two groups who came together at the Albert Park Yachting and Angling Club and the end of Kerferd Road where the wind chill factor dropped below zero. After 15 minutes of fruitless, frantic searching, the pack in desperation (minus 3) headed for the Beach Hotel to pass the time away. At this stage, E & B, who was impatiently waiting at the drink stop with her pipes was called by Cut Loose to ask “where the bloody hell are you?” The lost pack was provided with the essential information that the drink stop was 5 kilometres away in the direction of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Club which was really meant to be the Bob Jane Stadium (South Melbourne Soccer Ground). Meanwhile the pack of three comprising Astro, Klingon and Lubang had found the trail and were heading through the cobbled streets of Middle Park. Everyone, except Astro who was told that he was too old to be out in the cold without a fur coat, finally joined E & B at the drink stop where Wack had provided Chiko’s left over dog biscuits and a welcome bowl of water. I am reliably informed that E&B squawked out the Last Post in remembrance of Chiko.
SOAS has finally relinquished his title as the “biggest longest setting run prick” as Wack probably hit the 15k mark. Most hashers partook of the Wednesday night cheap steak special in a warm and friendly environment.
The circle was held in a square court at the pack of the pub where Tripod and Bovine battled each other for the title of AGM. Cut Loose gave her maiden run report and awarded 8/10 for the run. Klingon used his well known ecclesiastical skills and provided the longest known dog eulogy ever…..not a dry eye in the pub. For his ranting, he was awarded a down down from the “holy dog bowl.”
How many brunettes does it take to get a photo shot set up for the pack in their Bark-On T shirts? Do you know what I am talking about?

? Astro – 303 runs, Cheesecake – 3×69 runs, Lubang for an undisclosed number ? Barterbitch and Highly Infectious as returnees, plus Bovine for having the initials BB. ?

Klingon and Wack – persuading the publican to wallpaper the pub in doggy mementos ? Whack – providing one legged dog biscuits at the drink stop ? Lubang – excessive drinking and eating post Ramadan ?
