Bothering the Botherers

Two graffitis, one from the god bothering community, and one from the god bothering botherers. Don’t you think it a little outre that someone liking God would graffiti  a place of worship? When I worked in film and video, it did always piss me off that one of the best video production facilities in Perth had been taken over by Salvos. This is the former Taimac on William Street Northbridge, now a temple to some dumbarsery  or other. But when it was a video facility, it was also a temple to dumbarsery i suppose, but not quite as dumb as it is now. And speaking of religious worsts, a recent trip to Rottnest reminded me how we were forced to go to church every day at this chapel while on holiday. We didn’t go to church every day when at home. Fucking outrage!textsalvosrottoch

    If I recall correctly, didn’t Laurie Connell have something to do with Taimac and its subsequent demise.

    If this is so, maybe this is a ridgy didge message from the late man.

    It actually all makes sense – Lozza carks it in 1994 a broken shell of a person, probably still with a Bondie-Burke fixation. Suddenly he’s up is Heaven and hey presto – he’s seen the light (unless of course God actually enjoyed the 80s – then we have some unresolved issues).

    I must admit, I was wondering who wrote the religious messages on the front cover of my Paul Barry book on Bond.

    For a while I thought it might have been either Robert Holmes a Court or Kerry Packer, before it occured to me that they both probably ended up in hell.

    Someone should pull this sign down and get it to the museum – it’s probably as valuable as the Shroud of Turin.

  9. re: The Rottnest visit. Did you notice the stupid amount of motorised traffic?

    I posted a whinge on RottoBloggo Cohen’s site, but he doesn’t appear to agree or give a shit.

    I think this was #1 in the Prosh newspaper top 40. Under the “weeks in” section it had a number greater than 1000.

      Get it? A number greater than 1000 means it was in the top 40 for three years or more.

    Here’s a good one where a preacher guy a says “pinch their tits” instead of “pitch their tents.”

    He also seems to be visibly affected by drugs. Unless it’s the Holy Spirit.
