Outrage Sunday 64 Ziggurat of Les

Posted on July 29, 2012 by rottobloggo

The Les Hansman Community Centre (sometimes called the Great Ziggurat of Les) (Noongar: mambooro karoondah, meaning “place of meeting vibrancy”) is a jaw-dropping multi-purpose facility and was completed in the time of the Court Dynasty the First. The structure will never fall into ruination.

As Adrian de la Touche wrote:

‘Progress! Morley! Names immortal in bronze,

The terror of the first glimpse of Ur-Les,

As hordes pay homage with their jam and scones.’

Perfection. Remember, the Ziggurat of Les is but one piece in a temple complex that serves as an administrative centre for the city, and which is a shrine of the Goon God, the sworn enemy of the Small Ba’al Bars.

Troops from the Western Suburbs Division tried to breach the ziggurat walls yesterday – they wanted badminton nets – but were repulsed.

For relief one ventures to the nearby souks – here we see the Alley of Sharon.

Katanning 1a

Posted on July 28, 2012 by AHC McDonald

NF#1 appreciates the Katanning comments and since the murality was so popular, he adds the rest of the scene, including the extraordinary reveal that you can also buy shoes and bags with your Clayderman cassette.

Weekend Worstoff 211

Posted on July 28, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Only place this couldn’t be is a university. They have strict indoor and outdoor smoking bans.
Pete F would send them all to the “QuitAmbassador.”
And RubyRuby sees that the Quit Ambassador would have complete diplomatic immunity after running down a ringtail.
or be sent back to Spit or Swallow in New Zealand (Sister city of Guilderton) where possums are vermin and can be run down with impunity.
Worst well.

Katanning 1

Posted on July 27, 2012 by AHC McDonald

A whole series of stunning shots of Katanning by NF#1 – enough for several posts. Not often I envy the shots of contibutors, because, well I am a lot better photographer than most people and twop contributors are generally worse than the average – but some of these are beautiful. Even more amazing, because NF#1 recently submitted some shots that were so out of focus, the subject was barely discernible. True story!
Now perhaps Katanning needs to be explained to International readers. It was until recently a fairly shitty little wheatbelt farm, but has been rocked by horrifying tales of child abuse from the 1970s and 80s. Manhattes Barkeep imagine a one horse Penn State. South Australians imagine Snowtown sans barrels.

Mine is exit only

RubyRuby sees girls queuing to kiss monochrome photos of heads on sticks of the band Rear Exit. As Pete F. would say, “Shit be sooooo Prosh.

Lost

Posted on July 25, 2012 by AHC McDonald

The first one is actually from Melbourne and Raph R., but the mysterious and enigmatic Phoenix may well have found his way to South Fremantle where his finding by Pete F – his rising from the ashes as it were, was itself lost amongst the sale of properties. Desexed and microchipped yes, but possibly the first cat never to have been photographed. His sex and colour change? All part of the mystery and vibrancy of moving to Fremantle.

I’m doing some more The Asia Beat. I might also have to switch to The Asia Beat twitter, as I have lost the password to TWOP twitter unfortunately. Unless there’s anyone who can hack twitter..?

The iconic Three Sisters rock formation in the Blue Mountains is to be renamed “Two Parents One Child Mountain” to appeal to the Chinese tourism market. New South Wales Tourism minister George Souris explained, “If we want to be a part of the booming Chinese tourism market, we can’t be rubbing their one child policy in their faces, simple as that. Even if Chinese parents could have more than one child, three daughters would be regarded as a disaster. It would be like expecting Australians to visit somewhere in China called – I don’t know… “Burnt to Death Koala” or something.”
Indigenous groups have expressed outrage at the move.

Border Collie

Posted on July 24, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Collie, “done” by BiscuitBoys, no doubt on some kind of hubcap coal mining sister marrying roadshow. The bike is done in tomato sauce. I thought the swimming doodle had been done before by someone , but I can’t find it. And the hubcap tree with WC Eagle rampant is lovely. Collie is a lot like Tasmania, apart from less unemployment, coal, and of course hubcaps. Why did Collie become the centre of sister marrying and Geraldton didn’t? You’d have had to ask Mainy.

Where wolf?

Posted on July 23, 2012 by AHC McDonald

You read The Worst of Perth, you’ve spent 3 hours at kerning college…and yet, something still doesn’t sit right. Then you do the other sign. Perhaps part of you is saying, “It’s only a Blockbuster maimed by a tornado…” But if that’s the case, why kern up the apostrophe hole? Baffling.

Outrage Sunday 63 your time is now

Posted on July 22, 2012 by rottobloggo

Enforce this, Rottnest Island Authority. Or should that be Authoriteh?

Krazy Kym and I had a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon, in the Swan Valley, but were baffled by the tasting notes. How can something called Rwanda come from Tanzania? It doesn’t make sence!

This is extra-baffling. The young people tell me they are charged $10 or something to get into Club Bay View. Surely you’re charged when you go in? This sign is wrongness.

This satellite office at the never-disappointing Coventry Square has gone up to the skies. Things like this drive me out of my mind. I watched it for a little while (I like to watch things on TV).

My POST colleagues and I were frightened into buying Freddos last week to help build a new school playground. I like the cut of this aggressive fund-raiser’s jib.

Does the rage of Outrage not seeing his face in the glass indicate a dislike of vibrancy? Does the morality of blogging consist in the perfect use of an imperfect medium? Is an ethical sympathy in a blogger an unpardonable mannerism of style? Do those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril? When Paul Murray farts, is the blogger in accord with himself? Is the only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely?
