Looking through, 2011 had probably the bests collection of worsts of any year, especially towards the beginning. This one by Pete F is one of my all time favourites.
This by Adam D was also lovely.
White Franger by Outrage, (is this the first time he’s made the best of?) still makes me laugh. In fact the inanity of Perth graffitists is kinda getting to me as shown by Mark M.
Jaidyn-Jaxxon’s hating was much appreciated. Such passion!
And of course the object of his haterising, was one of the comment threads of the year with the baffling John Howard and Winton’s lack of shoe crimes.
Shazza snapped the not worst of the year.
Bento wins the ceramics prize.
I suppose Outrage’s Couchette has to get some kind of mention.
MM’s Court Hotel was delicious!
As was Paracleet’s garage door analogue proto tweet.
And was the elusive Derridarian ever captured and executed?
For me this non original pic was the highlight of the latter part of the year.
I had actually got 30 possible posts for best list. Too many. Thanks to you all for your contributions. Thanks to Deefock for stepping in when I have been away. Special thanks to The Bartender’s Skills with a Manhatten for his Hudson Valley juxtapositions and for taking the registered lawn to North America.
So five new years eves! Wow. What worsts for the new year?
X
Architecture prize, public transport planning prize , most fucked up politician or senior public servant ( Klaggie) prize ?
I might also add that teh vibrancy reached hitherto unheard of heights in 2011.
Especially in and around Christchurch in New Zealand and off the East coast of Japan.
Didn’t do Japan, but did Christchurch.

Very definitely an awful case of urban “vibrancy”. :(
I think that the use of the word “vibrancy” in the urban development context is, in itself, the very worst of worsts.
Here’s Gerry Doogue discussing same,

Remarkably a Murdoch academic discusses the Northbridge bogan problem.
….And that idiot of a “newspaper” man makes sweeping statements about a subject that he has so often shown to be completely misinformed and highly opinionated about.
Youse are all still cunts.
And I should have nominated my own tweets for rolling best of.
“Sting – I could have saved Michael Jackson with Tantric sex. “If the dude couldn’t have got to sleep after an orgasm lasting 8 hours, then I…”
C’mon, don’t leave me hanging.
Happy New Year, what a nice way to end 2012 go through all the really bad stuff on this site.
This one was great too. Still want to taste Wattsie’s rissole.

All above worthy of mentions TLA. Glad to see this one scrape in. The Brazillian Steak conjures up images that were perhaps unthought of back in the day.
This year was just like
Last year at Marmion Ave:
Enigmatic worsts.
I starred in this film,
But received no direction:
I should drive to Darch
And at the station
Sit down and read Cloudstreet and
Search for my shadow.
Still no photos of the Perth Arena? Barnsey lets his offsider slip in the latest cost blowout to $550m while everyone is running around for last minute Christmas stuff. And I’m willing to be it won’t be the final one either.
World’s most expensive tennis court?
I think the only thing worse than the lack of development in Perth is when they finally get around to building something. Convention Centre – tick, that just leaves the Perth Link, the foreshore and the new stadium to be fucked up over the next decade. Should keep ‘em busy for a while.
Another superb year. My spinnaker puckers in anticipation of 2012.
