Forensics

Posted on May 15, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Don’t know which element Steve is focusing on. The stance? Cannington? Harvey Norman? His own photo processing? In any case, they make a worthwhile mix.

The price of liberty

Posted on May 14, 2012 by AHC McDonald

“So…we can do you a Liberty for eternal vigilance, but if you want the underbody rust coating and the floor mats, you will need to refresh liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Well he could hardly go with the Forrester could he? RSL 001 and all.  But surely a car of Teh Nippon is kind of betraying the Kokoda Trail dudes? A fuzzy wuzzy angel dies every time someone says “constant four wheel drive.” By HERB.

Outrage Sunday 53 tsunami

Posted on May 13, 2012 by rottobloggo

It can be the only explanation for this, in Shenton Park:

And this broken item, in Guildford:

And this, in Claremont:

At least these sad moments reminded me of a happier time on Maui, in Hawaii, where we danced the night away:

Weekend Worstoff 200!

Posted on May 12, 2012 by AHC McDonald

200 weekends of worstoffs. “Roll out the red fatted calf.”
I was hoping this was a “vagina dentata” when I saw the thumbnail. From Pete F. South Fremantle.

Ned E, thinks there may be some big combine vibrancy in Forrest Place.

Another southside from Pete F in Naval base. Suggestions for a gift being carwash tokens. I’m thinking mother’s day. 
And a Canberra worst from The Lizard Brain.

Sign Power

Posted on May 11, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Back to Kalgoorlie. You’d think a place so rich would look a little less shitty. Maybe not. Jaidyn Jaxxon toured the sights of historic Hay Street with the awesome Sign Power with excruciatingly horrible luck stricken prospector motif cut nicely with the not for sale ute and jaunty angle. And Biscutboys throw in a planter at the Superpit.

Cleaners and Journalists decimated.

Posted on May 10, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Herb found this in Midland from 1982, predicting unemployment for journalists, cleaners and other such bottom feeders. If only. Seen in Midland’s Simply Secondhand.

Carpet Brain, Smart Place

Posted on May 9, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Mug Punter documents the  incredible transformation of Carpet Space to Smart Space. It’s like some kind of transformer – that had a minor rebadging and ended up as a carpet shop. A recycling of letters is suggested, but wherefore the extra “Ss”? How spaced were the carpets? How smart are the spaces? Fascinating. Wait, they’ve got a Tonka toy letterbox. Do they think they’re in Carlisle? William Street Perth.

Cutoffs

Posted on May 8, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Sometimes the desperate need for denim cutoffs takes you and you just have to stanley knife the legs off your jeans right there and then in a fever of shittiness. An astonishing worst from Timdoh (Who gave no other nom de if he had one). Where else but Edith Cowan University Joondalup. Possibly some kind of Joondalup rapture.

“If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you. In essence, what I’m saying is you look like a tool in those cutoffs.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Find out more about back doors in Menzies

Posted on May 7, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Well the Autojuxtapose didn’t have to try too hard with these two shots from Biscuitboys in Coolgardie. (Are the biscuitboys some kind of rapping or dubstepping crew or bunch?) I like how the Gormley works have been ambush marketed into Pauli’s anal adventures. And I very much like how BBs have gone straight to the fundament of the sculptural piece, highlighting the slightly too detailed while still being inept back door, and haven’t even bothered with the wide shot! Perfect. That’s how you do it.

Outrage Sunday 52 hideous

Posted on May 6, 2012 by rottobloggo

Our comrade Greg Hoey has been quiet – and I can reveal why.

I applaud the PWF backing (probably) the most blacklisted author. I will get the e-book AND the $87.50 paperback, which was “voted peoples choice favorite book of 2012 perth writers festival! and tipped to be a contestant for this years booker prize.”

Much harder to comprehend was this hideous Shenton Park sight:

Written on the tape was: Drop stopped. If elect by repair. Hmm.

We in Guildford are glad this sun-blotting, 2.5m sign has been added to the street. It is tasetful and unobtrusive. Hideous.

It’s almost enough to make you forsake Rottnest for Bali.
