WAtching has been hassling me to use this fine worst for a while. I have just had so many pics in the last two weeks. 30 or more! Cool your jets. I don’t even know if the Jim’s pic is a photoshopped joke or for real. But that’s Perth and that’s cocoss isn’t it? It could easily be for real with that satanistic papyrus font. It’s actually kind of cool that these guys have turned some crippled Triffids – I mean Cocos into Roman columns. I’d say not worst if the rest of the house wasn’t so outre. I prefer what they’ve done on this one though.

shame, shame, shame……..
I am astounded by this.
Couldn’t work it out for the life of me how it happened until i Woogled it.
Then i found the ad.
“Conversion” to what exactly? From a cocos palm to a painted cocos palm with it’s top chopped off?
My gob is smacked.
Is this Morley Drive?
Nope. High St. Another one shazza missed on her patch.
To answer your question G’day…
“Conversion” to what exactly?
Ionic, Doric. No job too big or too small.
WAthing TLA has many worsts from around Freo of mine that he has not found worthy to publish (like the garden hose art LA). I never know whats going to get a run on this crazy blog.
You did get waynes follow up sign i guess shazza. That was a ripper.
Not sure why TLA didn’t use the action shot…

Oh shit the hose art. As I say I must swap to different email provider. i just get too many pics and sometimes the good ones slip away. Yes the hose. Will find it.
Strangely, I was born a Doric man, but ‘ll die ionic.
Nah!
Iconic, perhaps.
Pfft, columns shmolumns. I can’t be arsed looking for it, but wasn’t there an old Worst with a student boarding house featuring cocos stump crucifixes in the front yard?
Yes, cocolossal, one of my favourites now vanished.
Looks like a Calabrese rello to me.
Mafia security sign out the front no less..
Don’t have Rellos in Freo :-) It’s more the Sicilians who congregate down that neck of the woods.
I got sidetracked by henkage and only just noticed this! brilliant! Idea for 3 cocos out the front of my place.
When we purchased our home last year, before the settlement date was even reached, I snuck around, and with my bare hands, ripped out 3 Cocos, such is my hatred of the palm.
“I shit on Cocos Palms” bumper sticker?
I’m ambivalent. They look so tacky but town of Vincent wouldn’t be the same without them.
I hate Cocos and I vote.
Shazz that’s it, I have decided if everyone here can’t support my views on cocos I will never post here again. It started out as fun but it’s getting too hurtful and one dimensionally anti cocos. OK everyone cast your vote. Say YES if you like cocos and NO if you don’t. I will count all 3 votes and make my decision based on that. Don’t pity me anyone or beg me to change my mind, whatever you do.
finally
just as I was thinking that this thread did not have the level of self pity and paranoia required for every topic in 2010, lisa saves the day.
before I vote, I need details of Lisa’s research into cocos palms, with diagrams and appendices, because I believe they are just an urban myth. Lisa claims to have grasped a cocos palm with her bare hands, but I reckon she’s just boasting.
I live in vincent where it’s compulsory to rub up against cocoses.
What about unexpected Cocos, do we include them?
Cocos Interruptus?
Strange days indeed.
Preserved palms (which I can see)…bizarre Nazi links (which I can’t see)…the evil Papyrus font (which I wish I hadn’t seen)…
Can the Rapture be far away?
In these situations the weird turn pro, but instead I’m getting the fear.
How do I put this in a link?

‘Papyrus’ should be renamed ‘Vegan Cafe.’
Like this, I believe. If that helps.
