A Flamingo’s Slot Closes…

It may be my brain or the fact that the number of posts is now over 1200, but I was certain that I had posted this magnificent Lathlain letterbox consisting of a vcr lashed to a concrete flamingo. And yet I can’t find it. I know it has been sent to me. How could I have neglected such a superb mound of crap?It’s even got the number 5 on it! JaneZ sent the latest pics, including its recent descent into vanished worst status. This is the exact same concrete flamingo that I need to complete my own set, but I fear this one will never grace a bed of agapanthas again. At least Dominos keep stuffing the vcr slot.

    Woah. That’s so far out there that it’s gone full circle and returned as not worst. Marvellous.

    The number 5 on the front of the VCR really makes it for me.

    Maybe now they can upgrade to a blu-ray player?

    I love the fact of it being pushed over in the last photo, like the final ignominy in an existence shameful enough already.

    I can’t believe this superb worst (from the Las Ramblas region, no less) has garnered so few comments. For shame.

    my bosom swells with pride. i almost forgot about this creation but it was probably the only thing i would look forward to coming home to whilst living at 5 bishopsgate st, lathlain. the gaffa tape really went to shit with uv exposure. should have just used more woolen yarn. i also strapped a doll with no arms to the top of the vcr but it was torn off and thrown at our door by a neighbour on the first night. sigh.
