Weekend Worstoff 12

Posted on June 28, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Was quite a good worst week this week, possibly highlighted by Skink’s amusing stoush with Howard “Riddance” Sattler on the Fairfax blog, with the moderator deleting both Skink AND Sattler at one stage. The post on The Fairfax Online experience … Continue reading →

Dead Parrot

Posted on June 27, 2008 by AHC McDonald

To say I opened a night club to allow people to do drugs, even in the bathroom – do people think I’m insane? Do they think I’m going to throw everything away – even my own children’s future, so people … Continue reading →

Fisting on Douglas

Posted on June 26, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Now this was a big mistake. It’s right out on the street. This sort of thing should be confined to a private garden. Somehow it reminds me of the work of the oversized norks sculptor. Douglas Avenue South Perth. I … Continue reading →

Posted on June 25, 2008 by AHC McDonald

I sometimes wonder whether it is EVER possible to do something good with a dolphin, graphic design wise. This looks like an aquatic version of a dog covering a fresh turd with dirt. What is it about the dolphin that … Continue reading →

Weekend Worstoff 11 The Vanishing

Posted on June 21, 2008 by AHC McDonald

A long anticipated worst vanishing has finally happened. The Jumbo is extinct. One of the lions had already been liberated last week, but the other was still attached to its pedestal. Must have been too heavy to carry off. I … Continue reading →

Sad Slots

Posted on June 20, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Because we mentioned posties the other day, and we also haven’t had any letterboxes up for a while, here are three offerings. For this first one, I hope the postie is a basketball player, or at least not a short … Continue reading →

Burning Down the House

Posted on June 19, 2008 by AHC McDonald
