Weekend Worstoff 78

Posted on October 24, 2009 by AHC McDonald

This month is easily going to be the biggest ever, even topping September which had the famous B&S post. Thanks to Tim Winton for making it possible. The West website seemed to have nothing but worsts the other day. No … Continue reading →

Pelicanned

Posted on October 23, 2009 by AHC McDonald

A glimpse of the double page spread in Pelican featuring TWOP. Unfortunately I misread the last question as appearing in Grok rather than featuring Grok as it has been in, but it looks pretty good.

UWA. Maybe they’re not that smart.

Posted on October 23, 2009 by AHC McDonald

PLEASE NOTE, The Worst of Perth encore live show, previously scheduled for the 12 November is now shifted to 10th December, as the earlier date clashed with my Chinese brush calligraphy classes. ————————————————————————————————– Jennifer S was so impressed with my … Continue reading →

The March of the Wa-Wa’s

Posted on October 22, 2009 by AHC McDonald

The much maligned Richarbl, scion of conservative thought, (I’ve never written scion before, so I thought ‘d throw it in,) was seemingly the only one to notice the vibrancy based Future Perthing on page 56 of yesterday’s West (21/10/09). Richarbl … Continue reading →

You’re not not hallucinating

Posted on October 22, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Paracleet snapped this car in Victoria Park. I like that even a crackpot car painter can use an apostrophe, unlike Yokine IGA, as visioned by Slanderer. Slanderer also snapped this baffling graphic on the store. I’m sure they’d tell you … Continue reading →

Man to Man Menswear

Posted on October 21, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Why the hell does The West continue to run its crappy racing liftout? My theory is that the paper would feel embarassingly thin if it wasn’t padded out with Doomben dogs. Woogle it, it’s true. However I do have a … Continue reading →

Gill Sans Ultra Bold

Posted on October 21, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Another from Jazzrusso seen at freeway exit. These roadsigns have font sets? I’d guess comic sans or papyrus as default. Certainly not the Gill sans ultra fuck-off bold favoured by The Lazy Aussie. Has a lovely detached feel. Reminds me … Continue reading →

Woogle

Posted on October 20, 2009 by AHC McDonald

We haven’t had The West featured for a while. Paul Murray, while generally bad hasn’t really plumbed his old depths of risibility. Pam Casselllas still seems to be scribbling away despite my contact telling me she’s leaving. Inside Cover plods … Continue reading →

Irrational Hatreds #1. Tim Winton

Posted on October 19, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Someone, I think it was AGB labelled my anti Tim Winton sentiment as an irrational hatred. I like that as a label, especially as I really don’t know why he just shits me so much. He’s like a John “Bono” … Continue reading →
