Yes I’m back. Did you miss me? I had a lovely ride back from the airport last night. Firstly the air was clean, the sky clear and even some stars visible. First time seen anything but brown haze for two weeks. Secondly, the only words the taxi driver said on the trip were “Fucking Pigs!” as we passed a speed trap. The exact words I assume Editor Deefock has exclaimed on numerous occcasions lately.
All these I found to be welcome home pictures. Now this first from Natalie W has no, well, anything, but for an unknown reason it gladdened my heart to be welcomed home by a picture of half a toasted sandwich and a can of drink discarded in Kenwick. And where else could such a valueless nothing photo be posted? A content-less ennui generator.
And another picture from Orbea to remind me that I’m really home. Maylands.
And taking a break from the massed scooters of Saigon, I’m welcomed home by a plonker in a stupid monster car from Kylie.
And to just keep me in touch with my Asian experience, a nice Melbourne worst from Solari.
Worst well. Glad to be back.
Monster car drivers don’t need bumper stickers when the car yells Fuckwit all by itself.

I bet the chairs in ‘Nam at least have backs on them. Building an entire wall for said purpose seems like an awful bother.

Maybe WAtching is using the post on November 1 2007 as precedent for identifying ‘fat chicks’ as in Beechboro and White by DFOC.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Welcome back TLA. Hope it was a good trip. Nice return, with the disembodied cocks and monster truck. The seats with the deserted sandwich is a good start. A stark and simple worst.
