The Sydney Hash House
Harriers
Smiley’s Posh Chronicle
Run Date: April 7th
Run No. 2492
Joint Run hosted by the Harriettes and Vale Philthy
September 28 1946 – April 7 2015
The Harriettes hosted the 1 s winter run with the sombre background of
Philthy (Phil) Wilson having passed away at 4 pm that same day
A pack of some 35 rugged up walkers and runners rolled up in Joubert Street
with a good representation of the Sydney Hash including Pee Dub, Scud,
Plunger, Kitty Litter Calici, Saltpetre, Druid, Pilko, Ayatollah ( looking
happier after finishing his summer JM duties),Flying Scotsman( sporting a
lovely lime green scarf!), Tic Toc and Biggamist
[ Joubert street names after a French moralist and essayist whose quotes included
“The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress”]
Music Man was still in civi gear after returning from his musical sojourn from
Byron Bay and Druid had returned from his Routeburn walk and the Otago
rail trail in the leading economy of the region - NZ !!
Clangers introduced the trail and regrettable told the pack about Philthy’s
passing after which Pilko called for a minutes silence to remember our mate
Philthy.
Dr Sue ( not white Rabbit) the new Grand Mistress had gathered her flock of
harriettes, including Stormwater, White Rabbit, Maid Marion and Robin
Hood many of whom were wearing their easter bunny ears and fluffy bums
which greatly excited Music man, Calici
Kitt y’s in the bunny club
Pee dub having a bunn y o rgasm
The trail went under the Tarban street bridge at the Saint Malo reserve then
winding back on Reiby Road to eventually ramp up to the pedestrian/cycle
way on the Tarban Street bridge.
The pack was missing a few runners as Flying Scotsman, Kitty Litter ,
Plunger and Druid ( really !) sprinted ahead of the masses of Larrikins,SH3
walkers and harriettes who were leisurely enjoying the walk on a crisp
autumn evening.
As the pack crossed the Tarban street bridge pedestrian way Plunger was
uncharacteristically walking having been held up by the bulk of the pack
ambling across the bridge.
Moishe was also sedated from his normal running style nursing his Achilles
however he was relishing the opportunity to chat up a few harriettes on the
off chance of showing off his etchings at his Killara boudoir.
The trail then darted under the Tarban Creek bridge where some of the more
technical posh and others noted the $38M structural rehab( including new
bridge bearings) of the bridge which was constructed in 1965
Having skirted under the bridge, the trail entered the Riverglade Reserve,
familiar territory for Flying Scotsman, remembering his September Run with
Your Choice
After the bush of the Riverglades reserve, the trail then entered suburbia
briefly before disappearing into the Tarban Creek reserve thereafter along
Mary Street then a right turn into Gladesville Road then to home past the
Hunters Hill hotel into Joubert Street
The Circle presided over by Dr Sue gave down downs in remembrance of
Philthy, the Hares and those who had finished the complete run including
Pee Dub, Calici Virus, Kitty Litter and Druid
Tic Toc, ever the opportunist did a sensational job to promote the upcoming
25 th Century Run ( the new badging) to a great ovation
The highlight of the circle was a demonstrating by Soul mate of a new
pissilator to be used on the upcoming trek by the Harriettes plus some token
males including Kitty Litter
However Kitty was totally confused by this device and said to Dr Sue – “How
do I put that on my dick to piss”
After Dr Sue had explained that the device was just for the fairer sex, Kitty
was a lot more comfortable with the adventure ahead of him.
It was On On then to the Hunters Hill pub for some good food and company
and remembering our mate Philthy (Phil) Wilson
Thanks to Dr Sue and the Harriettes for hosting the joint run

Who are they?
After last week’s question, the
On Sec was overwhelmed with
responses – 1!!!
Moishe was close but was
puzzled that the runners were on
the wrong side of the road
The official answer
Lurch hands over to Wagga Rod
on the NSW AAA Sydney to
Bathurst Relay 50 years
ago….pre cursor to the Hash
relay
Note the concrete highway of
the day somewhere near
Wallerawang I guess.
The YEAR- 1967
Hash Sick Bed Corner
Darwin Don has been told he cannot go to Washington DC for Anzac Day where he
was going to be hosted by the Aussie Ambasssador Kim Beazely. Rumour has it ,that
President Obama was going to award Darwin the Purple Heart for being the oldest
Hashman in the world.
Seriously, our man Darwin will be going into hospital to get a new valve in his ticker;
much the same as Bruce the Goose did several months ago .
We will be keeping a close eye on Darwin in case he skips the country to see the Pres!!
History Corner
Spiral Staircases
Many medieval castles featured cleverly designed spiral staircases between the floors.
They were usually located next to the castle wall (in a tower, the staircase usually ran
along the outer wall and the rooms were constructed in the space in the middle).
They might seem like a clever way to save space, but actually spiral staircases were
invented for warfare. If an enemy army invaded the castle, their knights had an
extremely difficult time walking up the narrow, curving staircase while fighting.
The design also gave the defenders a bonus advantage. Medieval spiral staircases
were designed so that they wound clockwise going up. That meant the invading knights
had to advance with their left side to the front, which was a serious problem because
pretty much all knights wielded their swords with their right hands.
Cartoon & Joke Corner
As we are in the centenary year of the Australians entering WW1, some cartoons of the
era will be a feature of the newsletter going forward until Anzac Day
Cartoons circa 1915-1918
TThe Armistice
SILENCE FALLS
The echoes die, the
smoke-clouds thin and
pass,
The cannons are, like
statues, dumb and cold:
Silent the crosses wait,
and in the grass
The spent shells gleam like
gold.
All spent he lay and
dreamed till the moment
came:
Now, waking with a cry, he
looks, all wonder
To see the empty sky hurl
down no flame:
To hear no crack of
thunder.
- Henry Weston Pryce, 11
November 1918.
I like this one – our aussie character to a tee!
...Joke!
Bomb Jovi
MUSLIM TRIBUTE BAND
I went to see a Muslim tribute band last night at a Mosque in West Sydney
They were called "Bomb Jovi" and he thought they were brilliant.
Songs like; “Losing my head over you”, “Rocket Launcher Man”, “You’re six, you’re
beautiful, and you’re mine”.
Their last song "Living on a Prayer Mat" almost brought the house down !!
Then this Muslim bloke started bragging about how he had the entire Koran on DVD.
I was interested so I asked him, "Can you burn me a copy?"
Well that was when the trouble started. Those twits have no sense of humour!
LAW vs PSYCHOLOGY
A guy was looking for a place to sit in a crowded university library. He asked a girl "Do
you mind if I sit beside you?
The girl replied in a loud voice: " NO I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH
YOU!"
All the people in the library started staring at the guy, he was deeply embarrassed and
moved to another table.
After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the guy's table and said with a
laugh:
"I study psychology, and I know what a man is thinking: I guess you felt embarrassed,
right?"
The guy then responded in a very loud voice: "500 FOR ONE NIGHT? ... THAT'S TOO
MUCH!"
All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.
The guy whispered to her: "I study law, and I know how to screw people".
