Cookster sent this lovely photo, probably falling into the not worst category, from some worthy event or other in Bencubbin. I think there were issues with finding out that the place didn’t actually sell piss, but was more endorsing piss as a concept.
He also mentioned his debut in Wangle. Haven’t read it yet, but I hope it is about what a stupid name Wangle is (does it sound like it’s about wanking to you?) and questions why the articles are as interesting as a slightly damp teatowel.

The Worst of Perth 
From now on whenever someone presents me with a well-worn, uncontroversial, brazenly hormonal or just plain boring opinion I’m going to accuse them of “Anglin’ for a Wanglin’ “. There, I said it.

I like this. It’s delightfully rural in its quietude, just waiting for the Nationals to come along with his pot of cash and pay for an upgrade of the road, while Federal Labor is building a 4,000-seat sporting stadium for the local school.
There is (or was) an actual Worst in style style, but with Swan and VB in Rocky Gully many years ago. And instead of a roof I believe it was half of the side if the house.

Derelict backpackers? It look like luxury on a backpacker scale.
I love that old building. I have been hoping someone will renovate it rather than demolish it, but I think it was condemned a few years back.

Thanks to DFOC for alerting me to the goings on here at TWOP. Somewhat odd being lambasted on the website that I’ve often considered to be my second home… still, stick your head up and expect it to get shot off.

You got praise for the photo, but you gotta admit the Wangle was pretty bad.

Jesus TLA, asking someone to concede that something they wrote as ‘pretty bad’ is a bit harsh. Imagine if I stood up at one of your gigs and said, “the physical comedy was praiseworthy, but you gotta admit the gag was pretty bad”…

Probably why they closed the pub on Sunday.
LikeLike
Why was that so? Was it that they knew the Cookster was in town and to spite him in regards to his views to DLS, thought they’d shut the pub and have the local yokels over at Swan Lager house and have a private Sunday Sesh, to which he was certainly not on the invite list?
Or was it something far more prosaic, such as not having the local watering hole closed that day of the week, as per local custom?
P.S. I agree with Cookster’s views, as expressed in Wangkle. Any more than two shakes there…
LikeLike
Yes, Cookster’s brilliant argument that everyone who doesn’t agree with him is backward and retarded and DLS advocates are sooooo much smarter than everyone else was the main reason people voted against those arrogant cunts in the first place. I believe this line of argument will be equally effective in the future.

Yes, we are only as smart as the lowest common denominator. Dare rise above the mediocracy (which is the prevalent social class in WA), you get put back in your place pretty swiftly and dubbed, as you so succinctly put it, an arrogant cunt.
I’d rather be called that than be tagged as a dullard. Or a fucking cunt for that matter.
LikeLike
And coincidentally, amongst other valid reasons, I am quite passionate towards being in favour of DLS, perhaps due to being born in one of those rare trial summers (1974-75).

The DSL advocates were not “daring to rise above mediocracy”, they actually were arrogant cunts and they lost because of it.
