Cookster sent this lovely photo, probably falling into the not worst category, from some worthy event or other in Bencubbin. I think there were issues with finding out that the place didn’t actually sell piss, but was more endorsing piss as a concept.
He also mentioned his debut in Wangle. Haven’t read it yet, but I hope it is about what a stupid name Wangle is (does it sound like it’s about wanking to you?) and questions why the articles are as interesting as a slightly damp teatowel.
From now on whenever someone presents me with a well-worn, uncontroversial, brazenly hormonal or just plain boring opinion I’m going to accuse them of “Anglin’ for a Wanglin’ “. There, I said it.
I like this. It’s delightfully rural in its quietude, just waiting for the Nationals to come along with his pot of cash and pay for an upgrade of the road, while Federal Labor is building a 4,000-seat sporting stadium for the local school.
There is (or was) an actual Worst in style style, but with Swan and VB in Rocky Gully many years ago. And instead of a roof I believe it was half of the side if the house.
Glad to see Grrr commenting again.
I am occasionally, but not often, moved to share my wisdom with the class.
Moderation or not.
What’s the background image? http://perthworst.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/chair.jpg.
It isn’t a Worst I recall.
Hasn’t actually featured, although I have photographed it several times. It’s the derelict backpacker almost next door to the Mosque on William Street
Derelict backpackers? It look like luxury on a backpacker scale.
I love that old building. I have been hoping someone will renovate it rather than demolish it, but I think it was condemned a few years back.
(So I’m pre-emptively calling Worst on the people who let it fall into rack and ruin.
I don’t fucking believe it. Cookster is banging on about daylight savings again. Wangle is a perfect place for this type of tosh.
Cookster has done what many thought impossible:
making Mark McGowan and Julie Bishop look readable.
needed a bit of Alisha O’Fuckinell to juice it up
Agreed, LA, completely lacking in logic.
But the meeja is renowned for a profound absence of reason, respect and rationality.
Chryste only knows what “social media strategist” actually means, but like most of these grandiosely self anointed titles, very little in terms of actual social progress.
didja take that photo through your mothers stockings?
When did he get the promotion to Socialmedia Strategist?
Is there a tactical equivelent?
So many questions..
Oh yes: definite Not Worst photo
Although Swan Gold itself was a Worst.
Couldn’t find the add for it I wanted but this one is almost as good:

Awwwww
Tempting.
Thanks to DFOC for alerting me to the goings on here at TWOP. Somewhat odd being lambasted on the website that I’ve often considered to be my second home… still, stick your head up and expect it to get shot off.
My job title? Comes in handy when explaining to clients what we do. Does it make me a wanker? Well, quite possibly.
You got praise for the photo, but you gotta admit the Wangle was pretty bad.
Exactly right. It’s about sticking your head up.
I’d say most of the people who bagged you agree with you… it’s just… just … the Wangle thing. And the sincerity.
Any “social media strategist” worth his salt would know better. :-)
Go back to Russia.
Who? Me or Cookster?
If the samovar fits…
Can I just say, ‘if it aint broke, don’t fix it’. There, I feel like a real West Aussie now. Fyi, I’m Wangling again soon… if I said you had a beautiful wangle would you hold it against me?
It’s only referred to as Wanjina from now on. Let me guess, foreshore?
Jesus TLA, asking someone to concede that something they wrote as ‘pretty bad’ is a bit harsh. Imagine if I stood up at one of your gigs and said, “the physical comedy was praiseworthy, but you gotta admit the gag was pretty bad”…
And yes Skink, using the Bishop McGowan double uppercut was a cruel, but highly effective blow.
I should add that I have always considered Rebecca Carmody to be the thinking man’s crumpet.
…when he’s not thinking.
She was dire on Stateline.
That would be heckling. While not necessarily encouraged, still quite normal. You can come down and do so to me at the AGDA presentation in July if you want. Actually I have to admit McGowan was worse, particularly in the longer Wangle (puke) version.
And I thought you were “trolling” the Wangle (retch) anyway. You can’t say you’re trolling and then pretend to be offended.
They should have called it Wagina.
Brilliant. Yes, I will call it Wagina from now on. I can hardly bring myself to type or say Wangle *gag* so Wagina it is.
*sniff, sniff…*
Outrage would like to point out that he gets much more shit than you do from the TWOP community.
He’s a herring smoker, he should expect it…
He does seem to take it with far greater savoire faire than you do. You saying it’s the herring.
Go and heckle him at the AGA gig.
Didn’t I just say that?
It seems that yes you did. I was just giving him added encouragement.
As the gig’s in Freo, perhaps you could invite Adele. I’m sure she’d go down a treat.
{snigger}
{sigh}

He’s the cat’s father thank you very much…
By the way, that’s a house, but it’s in far better condition than the Bencubbin pub which was only accessible via a rear door because most of the building appeared to be condemned. Bastard place didn’t even open on Sunday.
That is rough, Cookster, but the house is great, and as not worst as it gets. Kanpai !
You reckon they of the Swan Lager house might’ve been able to furnish you with a tinny, instead of the closed pub, on the Sunday, had you’ve asked nicely enough?
Was in teh Cuntry Bag O. Wouldn’t have liked his daylight savings stance.
Probably why they closed the pub on Sunday.
Why was that so? Was it that they knew the Cookster was in town and to spite him in regards to his views to DLS, thought they’d shut the pub and have the local yokels over at Swan Lager house and have a private Sunday Sesh, to which he was certainly not on the invite list?
Or was it something far more prosaic, such as not having the local watering hole closed that day of the week, as per local custom?
P.S. I agree with Cookster’s views, as expressed in Wangkle. Any more than two shakes there…
Yes, Cookster’s brilliant argument that everyone who doesn’t agree with him is backward and retarded and DLS advocates are sooooo much smarter than everyone else was the main reason people voted against those arrogant cunts in the first place. I believe this line of argument will be equally effective in the future.
Or as a non-TWOPing friend of mine put it, ‘ Hey, yeah! Let’s have another compulsory trial, only this time indefinite, with yearly referendums until the result is ‘yes’!’
Yes, we are only as smart as the lowest common denominator. Dare rise above the mediocracy (which is the prevalent social class in WA), you get put back in your place pretty swiftly and dubbed, as you so succinctly put it, an arrogant cunt.
I’d rather be called that than be tagged as a dullard. Or a fucking cunt for that matter.
And coincidentally, amongst other valid reasons, I am quite passionate towards being in favour of DLS, perhaps due to being born in one of those rare trial summers (1974-75).
The DSL advocates were not “daring to rise above mediocracy”, they actually were arrogant cunts and they lost because of it.
Fairy nuff, me says. They did tend to choke noisily while force-fed humble pie. Some of them admittedly were indeed FCs.
Generally speaking, if you fail a referendum even once, that’s your cue to gracefully give up for a while
Found this on street view too:

Cookster never mentioned the wagon wheel.
I was hoping to see someone passed out on the footpath, or at least a flasher. My entire weekend is now ruined.
I was passed out in a tent about half a click away if that’s of any use? In the left forward pocket of ‘Benny FC’s’ home ground to be precise.
Hugging the boundary line ?
No good to me unless you were captured on Google Street View with yer arse out.
He’s worked his ring off for charity. Good enough?
A reader pointed out a Wangle piece which out craps Teh Cookster by a cuntry mile.
Arm Swinging? Really? Terible, terrible piece both ham fisted and long.

Oh come on. He’s trying. Non sequiturs can be a highly effective way to finish a blog or indeed any other kind of writing, even if they don’t name-drop Churchill or Emerson. http://www.wikihow.com/Reduce-Menstrual-Cramps
Wankle allowed my recent comment, even though I referred to the site as “Wankle” in said comment. See – they’re not so bad, GSOH, an’ all that. All they need now is regular contributions from Daile Pepper.
Is he asking for centurions to be allowed back into Perth pubs?
Never mind those deaths, self-regulation is the go.
Wankel let me call Woods an “oaf of the genre” of satire.
it seems to have just let me call him a fatty
Brad should give up the piss. This might improve his mood.
I’m surprised Mr Woods doesn’t feature more prominently on this site.
Are you on drugs?
A bit too long, and abuse of single quotation marks – but very funny.
You would need drugs to find that funny.
????
Does AHA advertise in the Subi Post? Could this be the start of another cash-for-comment expose?
What is that a hotel or a house and Whos on drugs and whats funny im comfused so can someone please tell me whats going on.
I doubt it.
Dought what i did i say.
QED.
