The Sydney Hash House
Harriers
Smiley’s Posh Chronicle
Run Date: April 27th
Run No. 2495
Run No 2495 hosted by Plunger and Not Nigel
.
Being 2 days after the Centennial of the 100 th Anniversary, the hares,
Plunger and Not Nigel ( on his virgin run) decided it would be appropriate to
set a run along the Kokoda Memorial Trail as a fitting recognition of our
diggers past and present.
The rain clouds had parted as the various hashmen arrived from different
directions to try to locate the start of the run in the café car park
Nautilus arrived an hour early and decided to walk the trail to take in the
history of the trail as did Virginus Illegitmus who was passed near the start
of the run in the opposite direction having already completed the run
The pack went past the famous battles of Kokoda – Isurava, Eora Creek,
Templetons Crossing as the trail headed north to the Brays BayReserve
The pack led by Flying Scotsman and Superglue (actually running this
week – no rain) closely followed by Cinders a welcome return by Music Man
and Saltpeter.
Moishe was down the back of the trail, giving the young Bostonian lass,
Take it up the Arse, instructive advice on hashing in Sydney with Wrappa
keep a close eye on the randy hashman as the events unfolded,
On left, called White Shit, as the trail took an unexpected change in
direction that looped back south along Concord road behind a noise wall that
led into Killoola Street. E Shit and Flying Virgin then found the trail after the
traffic lights to Harrison Street connecting to a pedestrian walkway under the
viaduct.
There was a large check under the Ikea sign as Yakkity Yak,Pay-ling and
XXXX scouted around to find the elusive trail
On On called Nautilus and Simmo as
the trail entered the scenic walkway
adjacent to Homebush way then along
Harry Triguboff or Meriton Way (
interchangeable) past apartment block
after apartment block with views
across Paramatta River
The visitors, Gangrene, Sex Bitch and Take it up the Arse were enjoying
the crisp evening and scenery along the shared pathway when they came
across something happening in Homebush Bay – that’s an unusual fishing
boat said Druid pondering this large odd shaped structure. You idiot said
Frenchie, a man of the world and knowledge extraordinaire, it is a bloody
piling rig!
Spud was picking up the
stragglers along the
pathway looking decidedly
healthier these days having
finalized his horizontal
exercise program in
Launceston!
Spud and Scud on tra il – rhymes well
As the trail emerged from
the open space into Mill
Park Street, the runners and
walkers split again with
Goanna coaxing Scud and
Pilko to ascend the
stairway to an unknown
destination
Knowing Goanna as well as
we do, the bait was not
taken, and the took the
walkers kept to trail.
Goanna shows a “light on the hill”
Winding through the Rhodes
Industrial Estate, Tic Toc
came across a sign
“Mmmm” he thought–“ I can
see a way of increasing my
sales- offer a free drive of a
Ferrari or Porsche but just
increase my commission a
smidgeon” as wry grin came
across the Tic Toc dial
Centrepoint was in total
agreement and he could
also see potential for selling
his fees to some of the
Asian property owners
Under the Concord bridge went the walkers then down Llewellyn St ,now in
the depths of Not Nigel country as Pilko was spotted by the ASIO approved
security systems, prevalent throughout Not Nigel country
Like a stunned rabbit, Pilko was caught in the cross hairs and made a dash
for it
The lead runners comprising of
Scotsman and Superglue with
Cinders and Music Man in hot pursuit,
joined the walkers at Cropley Lane,but
to the surprise of the walkers, Flying
Scotsman and Superglue were
overtaken by Cinders and Music Man
as the trail re-entered the Kokada
Memorial Trail
Pilko do ing a runner
The hares were flirting with danger as
they convinced some of the hounds to
deviate from the in trail behind Not
Nigel’s favourite noshing house – the
Oliveto – some took the bait
Past the Kokoda history again and back to the bucket for a well- deserved
drink only to find Moishe still working on the young , unsuspecting” Take it
up the Arse”
After the Indian curry finally arrived from the local Indian express, the boys
sat down to some Indian food, just discernible in a sea of sauce
“W here is the naan bread and papadams” complained The Arbitrator as he
was decidedly looking a bit gaunt these days !
In the theme of the evening freshly cooked Anzac biscuits were distributed
however Scud had the evil look in his eye as he amassed a cache of biscuits
to satisfy his adictive urge for something sweet.
Once Plunger, Nautilus and Smiley had satisfied the hungry hoards it was
time for the Down Downs
First the hares, Plunger and Not Nigel for a well thought out run in some
genuinely new territory followed by the visitors Sex Bitch and Gangrene (
invited by Spud from the Penang Hash), Take it Up the Arse (TIUTA) ( a
delightful Bostonian lass looking to get absorbed in Aussie culture) and Hell
Raiser who was a welcome sight given her recent loss with the passing of
Philthy. Also the Anzac Day marchers – Nautilus and Darwin Don
The Hares and Anzac da y marchers; He ll Ra iser and Guests
TIUTA,-Sex Bitch and Gangrene
After the Down Downs and jokes ( Peedub and Darwin), Peedub handed
over to Smiley to introduce a special acknowledgement of the 100 th
Anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings
President PeeDub read a famous Mustafa Kemal ( Ataturk) quote from his
Gallipoli shirt given to the young Peedub in the 1980’s by the girls of
Istanbul for services rendered (motorbike riding that is )
Then it was Centrepoint’s turn to read a quote from the French Prime
Minister, Georges Clemenceau inscribed on the Le Hamel Memorial (
Centrepoint, Jungle Jim and Smiley visited this memorial which is near
Villers Brettonneux in the Somme)
The SH3 Catafaulque guard then entered, led by paratrooper Darwin Don,
Commander Nautilus , General E Shit and bugler Gangrene all wearing
their slouch hats and military clobber- thanks E Shit and Nautilus for the
gear and to Gangrene for his marvellous playing ( thanks to Spud for
organizinghim!)
W hat a fine bunch of diggers
The moment was poignant and emotional as Gangrene did a really fantastic
job when he played The Last Post and Revelle with the pack upstanding
during which a minutes silence was observed – you could hear a pin drop!
Finally Music Man finished off the evening with his great rendition of True
Blue followed by everyone signing the National Anthem with great gusto and
enthusiasm. – thanks Music
It was a fitting ending to a great run and evening
On On next week to Saltpeter’s and Son of A Gun’s run in Lane Cove
Footnote : The poor unsuspecting Bostonian lass, “take it up the arse” had asked around
about a lift back to Randwick. Quick as a flash, Darwin Don said – “ It would be honour to
take you to Randwick young lady” to which she said “ that is so kind of you Darwin” not
realizing the reputation of the Don Juan of the hash

very weak and he is unable to walk at the moment suffice to say it is difficult to say how
long he will be in rehabilitation.
It would be good to support our old mate by dropping in and having a natter – even a
Lord Nelson joke could be retold!!

Musical Corner
April 27th 1957
Elvis Presley's performed two concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto Canada, one of only were five he ever
performed outside of the U.S.
Said the music critic Hugh Thomson from
the Torono Star
“It goes without saying he has all the
appeal of one-part dynamite and one-part
chain-lightning to the adolescent girls, but
to one like myself who is neither a girl nor
adolescent, I could only feel he was
strikingly devoid of talent.”

Joke Corner
One day, a shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard that
the Pope was on the same flight.
"This is exciting," thought the gentleman. "I've always been a big fan of
the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person."
Suddenly, the man realized his seat was right next to the Pope himself.
Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to His Holiness.
Shortly after take-off, the Pope took a crossword puzzle out of his carry-on
bag and began penciling in the answers.
"This is fantastic!" the gentleman mused. "I'm really good at crosswords. It
crossed his mind that if the Pope got stuck, He'd ask me for assistance."
Almost as if providence struck, the Pope turned to the man and said, "Excuse
me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in
'unt'? The three Cardinals behind, in front of and beside him shrunk down in
their seats, as far as possible, all looking for something on the floor.
The man was in morbid shock. He couldn't breathe. He went within himself,
thought deeper, longer for a plausible answer and after almost a minute, the
dark clouds of evil parted in his mind and the sun shone in !
Turning to the Pope, the gentleman said, with reverence and politeness, "I
believe, Your Greatness, that you're looking for the word, 'aunt'."
"Of course," the Pope mused, not taking his gaze off the cross-word, "You
wouldn't have an eraser, would you?."

Tim Sheens, Brian Smith and Wayne Bennett all die in a car crash.
They get to Heaven & St Peter says,
"God wants to ask you a question and, if he likes you, you can sit with him to watch the
grand final".
God to Sheens..."what do you believe in?"
"I believe in looking after the players well-being on and off the field"
God says “that’s good, you can sit on my left.”
God to Smith “what do you believe in”
“I believe in courage, honour and you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.”
God says “that’s good, you can sit on my right...”
God to Bennett. . . “what do you believe in...”
“I believe you're sitting in my chair !”
