Run #1076 - Damn Gerbils!

November 18, 2002

Hares: Pole Vault, Limp Dick
Where: Peanuts Pub, Carriage House Inn, 9030 Macleod Trail S
Attendance: 70

Before I get started, I cannot for the life of me remember what pub we were at, but it sucked. More about that later, but if anyone does remember, don't go there. Apparently this was the run to bring a gerbil to. Not as a date, but as an accessory. Pole vault had one clipped behind his ear, and Limp Dick grows one on his upper lip. I think that it for gerbils. I didn't see any others.

Dreary Honked us out at 7:05. Skewbie sort of got the circle going, kind of. We were a bit slow, really. Very, very slow. Most of the pack walked to the first check, which was appropriately near a liquor store. We didn't go in though. Awwwwwwww....

We sort of shuffled all over the place though the suburbs. If I remember rightly, we all got lost in a bunch of alleyways, slipping and sliding on the ice. It wasn't very eventful, the only antics i saw were Horse With no name and Big Salad wiping each other out on an icy patch. They didn't get downed though.. Er, that's it for the run. A nice long leg-stretch section towards the end, but that was it, really. I didn't see much happen. I did hear a lot of squeals but that might have been Pole Vault doing dirty things with his gerbil.

OK, the down-downs. I just want to say that Pull It did a fantasmagiorical job as RA. Jeasus H, what a stuff up. Just as she was about to start, some gormless dork from CFR77 (Calgary F*&^head Radio, and he looked about 77 too...) got up on the mike and started some crap about a 50-50 draw and a raffle and so on. He made a weak attempt at including us in the humour but theoverall response of the hash was, "Who is this clown? Somebody thump Pole Vault...".

There were a lot of milestones. lambchops had a 69 (lucky devil...) but he did it with , Lost In Space had one too, but he wussed it and handed over to Krusty. My Little Pony got 100 runs and she delegated it to Hottie, Hardly and Twisty both had 350 and at least they bloody drank their own down-down.

Pole Vault got the hash-Shit for his inspired selection of venue. Doris attempted to do a down-down for his 69^th1 but it wasn't very successful because pole vault Kept Intefering with his bottom. That damn gerbil again...

That's it from me. By the time you read this, you'll be sitting in a bikini bar, checking out the local talent. Se you there, and mine's a pint.
