Scandotrash

Youse all know my preference for original worsts, and normally I wouldn’t rehash other blog posts, but there’s a Swede really getting stuck into excellent Perth worsting at the moment. Outrage Cohen has been documenting Jesper’s steely determination to not to enjoy Rottnest, but I really liked his Murdoch bashing. Murdoch smells like an “Old Turd“, and “the facilities looks like nothing but a prison camp from 1948”. Highly amusing. In case you were wondering, he is not encouraging you to enrol at Murdoch.

Thanks Outrage for finding this, and thanks Jesper for your tude.

    Rottnest?
    It is totally over-rated. I have no idea why anyone would go there.
    + 1 for the Barry Quokka joke, though. Makes me wonder if he is a real Swede.

    As for MU, well, admin staff around the universe are known for being unhelpful in any organisation. And I’m not sure what his beef is with the fee structure.

    Those are governed by the Commonwealth.

    And the facilities do not look like a prison camp from 1948.
    No, that honour goes for the mescaline-inspired psuedo-futurism concrete love-fest we know as Old Curtin.

    The less said about the beige-and-red-brick newer buildings the better.

    Then again, anyone who goes to “Hog’s Breath for some nice and juicy steak” is probably not on my wavelength.

                strange goings-on whilst on Planet Chong.

                during the badinage on her blog, she put in one of her odd non-sequiturs about buying Karlo’s jacket at the Matt Butcher auction, and how there was no media at the event.

                Strangely, there was an article about that very story in WAToady:

                http://www.watoday.com.au/lifestyle/patti-chongs-2000-fashion-faux-pas-20090423-agkg.html

                I wrote to the editor suggesting that Patti was telling fibs, and he assured me that the journo who wrote the story had not attended the event, and that the photo ‘was supplied’

                by whom?

                I put it to him that Chong must have arranged the photo herself and then lobbied WAToday to interview her and run the story about her selfless act of philanthropy.

                he did not chose to deny it.

Svenkage is the future , man. Let me guess what he be sayin.He be accusing locals of being small brained , narrow minded , bubble people something like that. Time to correct and upbraid locals about wrong way of life, more hard work needed. Only downside occasional to all the Dag’s whingeing is Svenkage politican get blown up.

    as a tax paying Australian, I am indignant, and incandescent with rage, that thousands of foreign backpackers and students are eligible for the governments $900 plasma and pokies bonus.

    we are stimulating the backpackers.

    not content with boring us to death with the sort of droll humour that must make the long arctic nights just whizz by, they are now rorting us of our stumulus:

    as a taxpayer who will be getting diddley squat from Canberra, I demand recompense.

    I insist that some foreign students, perhaps Angelina and Charlene, come over and stimulate me.

      If you liked that, TLA, then you’ll love this, and please accept my apologies for my scant contributions of late. We’ve entered a particularly demanding phase here, so I may have to outsource my commenting to some starving students.

      • Thanks Snuff. I’m sure Skink and Mrs Stone will be heartily amused that our our gloomy ol Jesper from Svenkage is complaining that there’s a tavern on campus at Murdoch. Jesper, you should have gone to Curtin, where the first student tavern was started in Australia. Or Edith Cowan, where their first prosed tavern budget was stolen, and they didn’t get one for years after.

      I used to work in the college bar way back yonder when I was a student.

      The only purpose of working there was to steal as much beer, cigarettes and pies as possible, hopefully enough to see you through the weekend.

      alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods and larceny. That’s what being a student was all about in my day, plus drugs, shagging, and political activism.

      today’s students feel the need to to ‘discover’ and ‘gain knowledge and future opportunities’

      no wonder their generation is such a disappointment. They should discover what their right arm is for.

      Pussies.

      next he’ll be telling us that he likes to get up early in the morning to study.

    er, no. That didn’t come out right at all.
    the two sentences are not meant to be connected.

    your right arm is for drinking

    todays’s students are pussies for not drinking.

    anyway, I go left.

      And shaz aboard the SS Stiltwalker (DFO©), RR. Sadly, our Jesper first selectively deleted all of his Murdoch posts, and then abandoned his blog altogether. It’s a good thing skink preserved his worst for posterity with Xtranormal, although you can still find Jesper whining in less than 140 characters here.
