The Lazy Aussie’s Top ten worsts from the blog’s first year. You may have others.
Triumph of The Worst. The Worst of Perth has public art removed from City.
The giant arsed aboriginal sculpture got laughs from all over the world. I don’t think the artist was ever identified.
World’s worst painting discovered in Perth. Alsatian stares up deformed woman’s genitals. (My #1)
Brian Burke works the room, the room being 1980’s McDonalds
Oi Cunt! Strangely abusive posters from the Curtin Student Guild.
Advocating the wearing of shirts to facilitate success. Subtle worst. Favourite of many.
Tiny Pinder’s giant donger finally tracked down
The North Face. My favourite letter box.
Barra non Grata. Poor old Adrian Barich. Graffiti not removed fast enough to stop The Worst of Perth. Archived forever now.
What a fucking disgrace: not one of them mine.
This has to be the worst list ever dreamt up in Perth.
From now on I’m sending all my material to Perth Norg.

Every single post deserves to be on the list, TLA, but this one had the following effect on me http://tinyurl.com/45us4z

Top not worsts:
Your photos – drunks, Kingswoods at a pub, a night watch man in Roe St, I can’t remember what they were posted under.
Is your list in 1-10 order? Cos Alsation is still my absolute favourite worst.
Paul Murray also needs recognition for the outstanding achievement of not even having any contenders behind him for 2nd-worst journalist in Perth. He is his own top 10 worst journalists.
Thank you for a fun year. Nice writeup in that wanky in site magazine too.

Alsatian definitely Worst of the Worst.
It was ‘Deckard the Halls’ that really drew me into the TWOP bosom, however. From the tagline, to the ensuing discussion of Spiderman’s Undies and Alexander Downer’s Leg, I was hooked.
Congrats LA. Perhaps drinkies at the Ling? Or the Pen?

“Tempted” by my Rotto frangers. Note he doesn’t say where they would be on the list – probably #168.

I think the Triumph of the Boozies deserves to get top billing, because it is the sole instance of TWOP moving beyond the navel-gazing sniggering of metrocentric twats (TM), and succeeding in making this city slightly less crap.

I came in late, LA, but I’m in for good. What a fabulous boon you have become for Perth tourism!
I was sitting at the site of the (now-vanished) sculpture-lump worst at the railway station today, thinking how your website has achieved so much, when the space formerly occupied by that abominable piece of limestone became occupied by two plain-clothed cop cars. I was about to take a photo to show how much things had improved when I got some VERY dirty looks from four fat cops. Think again, Vic! Self-preservation before satire!
Congratulations.

At first blush, I Paul Nurry am also outraged that I Paul Nurry didn’t make the top ten. Not fucking outraged, because as you remember, seeing Gordon Ramsay’s show shocked and outraged me, and wounded the feelings of a sensitive journalist like I Paul Nurry. When he said “Fuck”, at the outset, I hid behind the couch, quitely weeping, rocking from side to side with my fingers in my ears.
What about that stuff about nig nogs and Idid Amin I cut and pasted from a 30 year old Punch magazine? Methinks top ten material at first blush.

A great year of Worsts, LA. I have been kept amused for many a long hour when I should have been more productively employed.
Speaking of top worsts, did anyone see Paul Murray’s article in Saturday’s Worst? He assures us all, at first blush, that Sarah Palin is more than ready to take on the job of US President should McCain shuffle off the mortal coil. From his complete idealisation of her, methinks he might come in his pants if the republican team wins in November.
Perth is lucky to have such an experienced and qualified journalist, whose opinions require no factual substantiation whatsoever.

He also said ‘she’s sexy’ as if that qualifies her to be vice-president. Dickhead.
