More reader submissions. This is an excellent one from David Cohen. Is that all Emu Bitter David? A bit hard to see. This is Guildford. Obviously.

    I do like the flag on the gate post. As though the beer cans weren’t quite patriotic enough. What really screams Oz in all this is the complete half arsed nature of it all.

    Gosh is this a new variant on leaving bottles of water all over your lawn so dogs won’t poop there?

    Yer on the right track Squibbie , but the troublesome/troubled animal being warded off must be the domestic cat or domesticus ownus. , being that the product advertised bears the ordeur of cat’s piss. Anthropologically ,the duck, the flag , the abandoned girl’s bike and the washing signify that these are powerful people with many totems.
    Also squibbie there’s something about your gravatar that seems very friendly and smiling.

    The lawn pizza totem is strangely missing.

    I think you’ll find it in the backyard, LA. Right next to the venerated dogshit and spew guardians.

    That Western redcedar cladding in the background is the most appalling part is you ask me. How could anyone take issue with EB?

    Speaking of gravatars, I have not seen a graver one than that of Paracleet’s. Scared the shit out of me when I saw it. It is a large head, isn’t it?
    Is the duck part of the latch mechinism?

    It’s Bob Maumill, GWS.

    I’m guessing paracleet is actually a black cockatoo posing as a 28 and I apologise I’m so drunk and have no idea where I’m going with this.

    O’h, there you go. Misplaced punctuation mark.

    C’mon CK. Do we have to alert Mr Rudd to your binge-drinking? Alcohol abuse leads inevitably to apostrophe abuse. Put the bottle down or you’ll end up in a comma.

    CK, pissed at 9:33, you’re a lucky man. And I thought that it was AB. A man who is not fat, just wears a suit two sizes too small.

    Surely some brave TWOPer can make a trip out to Armadale and snap one of those lovely houses that has a car seat on the front veranda?
