Run Date: July 13th
Run No. 2506
Run No 2506: Bumcrack & Tyre Fruck – an Erskineville Experience
After last week’s miserable turnout, Tyre Fruck and Bumcrack were hopeful of a better
turnout from the Posh – maybe the cheap meals and heavily discounted wine would be an
enticement to drive across the bridge to Tyre Fruck’s past life as a restauranteur
extraordinaire or otherwise known as the Gastonomic King of the Newtown strip.
Tyre Fruck knew the area well, however after setting the run twice ( as did Bumcrack), he
could have run it blindfolded!
Whilst there was no snow around, the evening was supercooled but that was not enough to
stop a excellent sized pack – Grape graced us with his presence ( good to see you mate 2
weeks in a row), Poly & Druid returned after some health issues and Duck Weave was
back from cruising in North America. Talking about cruising, Music Man was looking as
sprightly as ever after sailing in the Med as noted last week in the Chronicle .It was also
good to see Colonel Sanders( back from NZ? Or was it the Channel Islands or Bermuda )
and Goonshow fresh from counselling Ed Miliband after losing the unlosable election to
the Conservatives.
It was approaching 6.30 as SBends, the techno & Facebook King of the Posh was still trying
to set his GPS to Erskineville as was Benny the Swede, making the torteous trip from
Parramatta.
.
Spud led the 40 or so Hashmen off down Park Street then across Henderson
Parade as Benny the Swede was unleashing some pent up traffic snarl
frustration, together with Superglue who was keen not to spread his winter
cold to the pack and Plunger back with vengeance.
The trail crossed over Henderson Parade into the Australian Technology Park
which was previously the Everleigh Railway Workshops which God Knows would
have visited when it was a going concern – Your Choice, one of the deep
thinkers of the hash, lamented the days when Australia had manufacturing
industries and the railway union was making sure it’s feather bedding would
eventually ensure the workshops doom! – Nautilus thought, at least we have the
Submarine Corporation ensuring my company get lots of maintenance work!!
Past the Channel 7 Studios the trail went as Kitty Litter, looking fit and
sprightly was yearning for the day when he and Ayatollah could appear in a
mini- series about New York Lawyers ( ref C hronicle # 2458)
With a clever check at Cornwallis Lane , synonymous with the rout at Yorktown,
the trail went around Vice Chancellor Oval then down Mitchell Road where some
of the pack of Druid, Frenchie, Duckweave and SBends ( finally got his GPS
to work) were confronted by the pro motor vehicle Mayor, Clover Moore,
advertising
At Erskineville Oval the walkers comprising of Centrepoint, Goonshow
+walking stick, SBends Baron Von Drut, Grape, Yakkity Yak and JT R
peeled off to an early bucket in Erskineville Park being manned by the expectant
Hares of Bumcrack and T yre Fruck as well as early birds Druid, and Colonel
Sanders.
Meanwhile the balance of the pack including including Maximus Minimus,
Captain Bligh, Moishe, Pay-Ling, WC and Wraparound were off down Euston
Road adjacent to the leafy climes of Sydney Park. The route nearly brought
tears to White Shit’s, Jungle Jim’s and Calici Virus’s eyes as they reminisced
about the lost opportunities at the Botany Bay’s 1500 dirty dancing night – how
could they forget that night!
It was not long before the pack was back at the bucket with Pilko assuming the
iridescent man this week, while Jungle Jim, deep in concentration, was getting
some pointers from Music Man about sailing on a yacht with an all- girl crew
It was off to the Swanson ( previously K urrajong) Hotel for excellent value $12
meals ( it was worth the drive) washed down by the well- priced wine and
beers.
Vice President White Shit and vice vice President Centrepoint, presented the
Hares for a down down for an excellent non A to B run ( hear hear said Grape)
and a 1 hour monologue cum sell from Tic Toc about the merits of The 75 t h
Season of Sinatra hosted by the Music Man and his good self
Well done Bumcrack & Tyre
Fruck - An excellent turn out in
some interesting inner territory
,surprisingly easy to get to from
the north shore and well priced
nosh & vino

History Corner
Storming the Bastille
The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the morning of 14 July 1789.
The medieval fortress and prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority
in the center of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming
but was a symbol of the abuses of the monarchy: its fall was the flashpoint of the French
Revolution.
The origins of the storming was started when King Louis XVI convened the Estate General The 1st Estate represented the Catholic Clergy of 10,000 who paid No taxes but owned
10% of French land
The 2nd Estate were 400,000 nobles who also paid no taxes , The 3rd Estate represented
25million common people who did pay taxes
Together these Estates formed the National Assembly.The dismissal of the Finance
minister, James Necker by Louis ( who championed limited consitutional monarchy)
inflamed Parisions which led to the stroming of the Bastille and led to a 10 year of bloody
rebellion finishing in 1805 whereafter Napoleon tooj the reinfs until 1814
Within 25 years of the initial Bastille, July 14, 1789, the House of Bourbon had resumed
its gilded thrown with Louis XVIII in 1814
Literary Corner
Harper Lee and “To Kill a Mockingbird” – published July
1960- 55 years young
After nearly 55 years since publishing “To kill a Mockingbird” in July 1960, Lee Harper is set
to launch her second book at the age of 89!.Th highly anticipated sequel is to be called “ Go
set a Watchmen” and is set in the 1950’s. Some of the characters are from her 1st novel 20
years on.
Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926 and her father was a distinguished lawyer,
member of the State Legislature as well as partly owning a newspaper business.
Controversy erupted soon after Harper Collins Publishers announced the rights to publish a
newly discovered unpublished 60 year novel. – sounds like good promotion for the new
novel !
Harper Lee remains an enigma as one of the most famous authors for a single novel.
Joke Corner
Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown apartment to a couple of friends
late one night,
a severely, under-the-weather Maori led the way to his bedroom where there was
a big brass gong hanging on the wall.
'What's that big brass gong for?' one of the
friend's asked.
'Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Australian
clock' he slurred.
'A talking Australian clock - seriously?'
'Yup.' 'Hmmm (hic).'
'How's it work?' the second friend asked, squinting at it.
'Just watch' he said.
He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an 'ear-shattering bash' and stepped back.
His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.
Suddenly, a Australian voice from the other side of the wall screamed,
'For f*#k's sake, you stupid pr#ck. It's ten past three in the f*#king morning !!!'
Sleeping with a Dentist
A guy and a girl meet at a bar.
They get along so well that they
decide to go to the girl's place.
A few drinks later, the guy takes
off his shirt and then washes his
hands.
He then takes off his trousers and
again washes his hands.
The girl has been watching him
and says,
"You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says,
"Yes .... How did you figure that out?"
"Easy," she replies. "You keep washing your hands."
One thing leads to another and they make love.
After it's over the girl says, "You must be a really good dentist."
The guy, now with an inflated ego, says,
"Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?"
The girl replies....
"I Didn't feel a thing."
