and spot liked him

Is poem bombing really worth the effort, especially since you’re just printing out of word and pasting it up. No knitting? No typeface created out of your own blood – or faeces? Or chorizo even? No. I can’t get behind it. By RubyRuby. Seeing Marchesi Menswear sign makes me feel good though. They were having a sale in 1984 when I lived a few doors down, and wonderfully it continues today.

Crack in the World

Posted on August 15, 2012 by AHC McDonald

I didn’t enter to get the back door in full detail, but this arrondissement piece speaks for itself, in fact I could hear it’s ring barking for miles! Nyuk nyuk. Next door to the place I believe used to be Howard Different Strokes Sattler’s place. Now a dentist.

Sleepy and Grumpy

Posted on August 14, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Fran and Pete’s ambulances of Australiana – seen in Armadale by Stu F. Sometimes entertainment does need a quick ride to the hospital. I will always be looking over my shoulder though. The other five entertainment ambulances must be somewhere, brooding and biding their time. I’m watching Duel on dvd tonight for some reason.

Outrage Sunday 65 On First Looking into Beechboro’s Homer

Posted on August 12, 2012 by rottobloggo

Much have I driven in Beechboro streets,
And many worstly prams and specials seen;
Round many Cocos’d gardens have I been
‘Fore ending it all in a Maccas seat.
But one registered lawn I had been told
That no-browed Homer ruled as his demesne;
So I Jizzed quick to breathe its semi-green
And saw his fat face, decap’d, bleached and gold:
Then felt I like some stealer of the pies
When a new drug is offered free to Ben;
Or like fat Brian when with greedy eyes
He star’d at the lobbying — and all his men
Look’d at one another with meth-glazed eyes —
Silent, lest the CCC do listen.

Paul R. asks if I have had this Beechboro (Embleton? Baysie?) building before. I did take a photo of it years ago, but don’t know if I used it. In any case, revel in the stronghold of the Lord of the Cocos.

Free Corkage, Conditions Apply

Posted on August 9, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Let me go out of town for a moment. Adelaide. If having a restaurant called The Snooty Fox isn’t bad enough, conditions may apply to your free corkage! Fucking Outrage! If a man gives me his bond that his corkage is free, I don’t want to have to bring in a commercial lawyer to have the $3 charge waived? Good day Adelaide. Good day Old Adelaide Inn, Good day Snooty Fox. I SAID GOOD DAY! Jesus, Snooty Fox? Really? Sounds a bit like it would be full of arseholes. Arseholes suddenly enraged at having the corkage they fully and sincerely believed was free, snatched away due to some jiggery pokery with the fine print. Maybe people only went because of the free corkage…”Dear, what’s that restaurant that has a name like only a cunt would go there..? Umm, The Wanky Dog..? The Bleached Ringhole..? The New Age Pussy..? The Uppity Garden Bed..? You know, the one where we never have to pay for corkage..?” 
“Under what conditions is corkage charged madam? On the condition of shut the fuck up.” Well I guess that’s fair. By Meccano.

There are no – repeat few charges on corkage

New Age Pussy

Posted on August 8, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Sometimes “yikes!” just isn’t enough. Is that the dude from Kiss? Appropriately, the truck is servicing the building going up on the site of Max Kay’s shitty old Civic “Theatre” on the arrondissment. That tail is just to die for. And has she fouled herself?
