Spot the hipster

Posted on October 4, 2013 by AHC McDonald

Dave P keeps sending me Fremantle gold. What can I do? I guess if Cockburn Thunder had won, there would be more of a rosy glow to this donger. I believe years ago we also had a pic from this adult colouring book. A rare offering of flange if I remember.hipster

Let me tell you a story…

Posted on October 3, 2013 by AHC McDonald

about a corflute emu oom ba da little da da da. Myers. Sorry to bring to mind the ever terrible John Williamson. Hey true blue *puke* once again I ask how American Country can be really good, but Aussie Country is relentlessly bad? The corflute emu is no oil painting either, and I don’t think that dress would cover boozie one.corflute

Santa never made it into Freo

Number ones and number threes

Posted on September 30, 2013 by AHC McDonald

I tried, I really tried, to find a conjunction of piss and shit to mark the colours of Hawthorn football club for the grand final. I ranged the city from arsehole to breakfast. All I could find was this offering of piss and vomit. Let this stand for it all. Can I ask as a side question, why were Cockburn Thunder wearing white? What happened to the purple and green? They looked like ambulance workers.

Outrage Sunday 116 supreemo

Posted on September 29, 2013 by rottobloggo

Ah well. I laid in a goodly stock of vegetation pizza before bounce-down yesterday, but it wasn’t to be. Perhaps I should have got Shazza to fax me some non-meat parmy. pizzasPete F eschewed footy for the Royal Show, and declined the offer of a personality test. He did seem a bit stressed though. IMAG1758Bento ignored the footy and the show: he grew sclerotic after reading about council election candidates in The Perth Voice: “Vincent giving Stalinism one more go: from the current Perth Pravda,” the ageing balcony-loving hipster says. “It’s pleasing to think the Voice may soon have a source left of that capitalist running dog Bluebeard Bainbridge.” Perth PravdaParty time or no, it’s all been a bit to much for me. I’m a bit stressed! I’m off to Muzz Buzz, where the signz give me the shitz. Krazy Kym loves popping one of my hot buzz ballz in her mouth. muzzbuzz

Snuff’s Missing Links 4

Posted on September 28, 2013 by AHC McDonald

Listen up, youse pigs.

Something special for those with young kids, or LSD. There are no instructions, so just explore. Move the cursor anywhere; click on anything. They’ll work it out. I haven’t tried it on one yet, but I imagine this would be perfect for tablets

Do you occasionally use different browsers ? Here’s a tiny (500kb) free utility which lets you search the history of all of your browsers in one window.

You can enjoy your beautiful life from now on.

I can’t be certain that this is legit, but even if not, it’s brilliant.

Just keep it above the waist please, Keisuke.

If you want to become a black belt, for example, or a virtuoso musician, you have to put in the years. The only problem with languages, however, is that we have different ones. The Babel fish is now just a matter of when, not if, as Microsoft’s Chief Research Officer Rick Rashid demonstrated last year.

Here’s the money shot for the time poor. http://splicd.com/Nu-nlQqFCKg/390/542

Until then, anyone who wants to make a living in the 21st century might want to learn to read Chinese, and this might help. I’d be interested to hear our esteemed host’s take on this one.

I didn’t spot C & B one.

Yugoslavian album covers.

Online polls. Loathe them or detest them, here’s one I can get behind. Vote early. Vote often.

Priti baiks.

I’m surprised Paul Simonon didn’t smash his bass guitar when The Clash played at the Perth Entertainment Centre on February 24th, 1982. Then again, even if we couldn’t hear it, maybe he could.

And finally, eat your words.

six years of crapping

Posted on September 27, 2013 by rottobloggo

Many thanks to O’Slatter Corp for the TWOP anniversary reminder. This is outrage 2665. And yet questions still trouble us: where is TL 101? What colour is jane z’s bikini? Can Teh Pert architecture get any worse? Where will Tim Winton’s sandals emerge next? Could you accurately portray Greg Hoey, Abs Conder, and Dr Peter Harries in a Venn diagram? When will Teh Flangemaster engrave a new entry into the Street Guide of Perth Worsts? Many thanks to Tullio for sending this from his ABC iPad app. crappingmerger

Nyack NY Part 2

Posted on September 27, 2013 by AHC McDonald

Bartenders Skills with a Manhatten continues his treatment of Nyack New York. But first here’s a shot from part one where BSWAM documents the moment when brutalism hit Nyack, and after it, a shot I took of the Curtin University library yesterday. Uncanny. I also like that we are displaying homes from Padbury and Nyack New York on the same day.Nyack-9nyackaa

BSWAM continues…
“And the poor of the community shall be swept into a cinderblock housing project, whether they like it or no.”
Nyack-11

“And the mansions and gardens and parks of Nyack shall be interspersed with apartment buildings of terminal mediocrity and unpleasant visage.”
Nyack-12

“And the great 200-year old estates themselves shall become apartment dwellings; and the gardens thereof shall be paved with parking lots; and many the basketball hoop shall sprout among them.”
And lo it was done, and sucked the Hairy Root of legend.
Nyack-13a

But lo (again)! For the hippies came up through the mighty Tappan Zee!
Nyack-16b

And the massage/yoga parlors and African Arts Centers did flourish.
Nyack-13

And the independent bookstores, supreme in their order.
Nyack-14

And the spirit poles painted kinda as if they were sorta by, like, you know, Indians and shit.
Nyack-15

And even the garbage cans did take on the aspect of joyous artistic endeavor.
Nyack-16

And the yuppies did follow in the wake of the hippies and built a fine pile of Postmodern whatever the hell that is.
Nyack-18

And did seize the ancient mansions of the 1700s and 1800s and 1900s and that cool house from 1958, and did paint them, to borrow a phrase from P. J. O’Rourke, “colors unfit for the posteriors of baboons.”
Nyack-5

And the people did rejoice and retire to the great bar and feast upon the craft beers and persimmon sorbets and New England lobster rolls, choice of fries or garden salad.
Nyack-20

And the young Jennifer Connolly did run in all her beauty through the streets in the first 3 minutes of the film “Labyrinth,” in what might be described as an “in-joke” in that the people of Nyack have been off to see the wizard since wizards there were to see.

Nyack-3Nyack-8
And they all lived together happily ever after…Or so they said.
Nyack-20b
