We all turned up at Aussie A-site expecting another great day and as we expected the Australians did not let us down. It was a great day which started with all of us heading out on the run and for me I enjoyed the walk with lots of shades and very scenic, as a walker I caught up to the front runners a few times as the Hares had set some very challenging and difficult checks. All and all a very enjoyable run.
We arrived back at the A-site to the smell of barbecued sausages that VV was cooking to perfection. They tasted as good as a smelled and of course I went back for seconds. CAPTAIN KANGAROO also entertain the circle with some history lessons on Burke and Wills and there great trek through central Australia from bottom to the top, and also the tragedy that struck those two famous explorers, very interesting.
SIR FREE WILLY commenced the raffle draw which had some great prizes all donated by the Australian hares, the winners were WANK-KING'S WANKER, RUBBER DICK, MISUSE ME, GANGREEN, SCOOBY DOO, PRINCE OF SPIN, and one VIRGIN.
EMPEROR AIRHEAD iced the Hares and thanked them for a great day, great food and also for doing The Aussie Run for sixteen consecutive years. The BEER HUNTERS were then iced and they told us of their horrifying experience when they found a shop and all the beer was frozen, better luck next time boys.
GANGREEN and his nephew were iced and his nephew explained how his favourite uncle (GANGREEN) had been leading him astray by introducing him to beer and debauchery, he will be back many times.
Awards: HULK was congratulated for his 10th Hared Run,
CAPTAIN KANGAROO then proceeded to start the auction, it was a proof minted one dollar coin and stamp celebrating the legend of Burke and Wills. The bidding was fierce and in the end it was a showdown between G.I JOE and SUZY WONG, SUZY WONG came up as a winner with a great bid of six thousand five hundred baht. The money from the auction goes to Jester;s Care for Kids every year.
WANK-KING'S WANKER iced the two visiting English hashers for wearing hats in the circle, but WANK-KING'S WANKER being a considerate and motherly person noticed that their hats were dirty and washed them in the bucket for them, which they both appreciated very much.
The circle was then closed with the singing of the Hash Hymn and we all headed home to wait for next Monday's run, hurry up Monday.
Hares Song
It's lonesome away, from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night, where the wild dingoes call
But there's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear
Than to stand in a bar, of a pub with no beer
Now the publicans anxious, for the quota to come
There's a faraway look, on the face of the bum
The maids gone all cranky , and the cooks acting queer
What a terrible place, is a pub with no beer
Then the stockman rides up, with his dry dusty throat
He breasts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat
But the smile on has face, quickly turns to a sneer
When the barman said sadly, the pubs got no beer
There's a dog on the v'randah, for his master he waits
But the boss is inside, drinking wine with his mates
He hurries for cover, and cringes with fear
Its no place for a dog, round a pub with no beer
Old Billy the blacksmith, first time in his life
Has gone home cold sober, to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen, she says your early my dear
But he breaks down and tells her, the pubs got no beer
On-On! Mental Disorder
