The Wheelie Bin of History

Posted on October 30, 2009 by AHC McDonald

I had made a bit of a resolution to give comrade Bento a rest for a while, for although he daily unleashes a torrent of fine worst, I thought some might be asking themselves “Where’s MY submission from 3 months ago, and why does this ivory bedildoed cunt get a run so often?”  So I had decided to give new submitter Keelia a go with the sans jowl Colin Barnett spied on a UWA rubbish pile. It has the traditional devil accoutrements which was nice too. I like how UWA seems to have been quietly dumping the Barnett image? Do they know something? Thanks Keelia. But blow me down if Bento doesn’t coincidentally send in a complementary pic of Merv Hughes dumped in the janitor’s office at the Nth perth Bowling club! Can’t keep a cadre down. I had to use it. Colin and Merv. Both have seen better days. Both have reputations for being a bit of a dickhead. The major differences are that Colin has never taken a test hat trick,and Merv never fucked up a Taiwanese steel mill deal near Geraldton. bincolinbinmerv

    Merv was at North Freo Bowling Club LA. We were at yet another quiz night. Cheating like bastards of course. Still didn’t win.

    Another difference: when Merv is pissed off at someone he doesn’t whack them with a piece of rolled up paper.

      I’m thinking the horns and bungeye grew on the painting instead of the real bumbling fool. It’s a Dorian Gray scenario. I can’t explain why it didn’t work with the jowls.

      And what’s with the intended blacklisting? I can’t help it if I see evil all around me. DFOC – I think I might need to get the union involved on this one.

        Alas, comrade Bento, you’re not a member, so you will be helpless as you are consigned to the dustbin of TWOP history.

        All the better for the rest of us, frankly: perhaps our submissions might get a run.

    I suspect Merv actually IS the janitor at North Perth Bowling Club. He keeps that picture in his cupboard to remind him of the glory days.

    So does that mean Colon has been dumped as patron saint of the UWA school of economics?
