Contain your enthusiasm

Posted on January 2, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Come friends, let us clear the decks spiritually as well as physically for the new year ahead. Let the panini maker be scraped of burnt cheese with a sense of freedom. Let the grey green scum of mould be lifted in a sense of peace and harmony. Your sealable containers will be binned with love not rancour. I have laminated a picture of your skidmarks in the toilet bowl to guide you to the true path of toilet brushing for 2012. HOWEVER, the use of the microwave is and will ALWAYS remain a right and not a fucking privilege moron. AND IT WILL BE REMOVED BY ME -WHO HAS NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO- IF NOT CLEANED. By DMc.

Let me start with this

Posted on January 1, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Pointed out by Bento. Very sad that someone’s house has burnt of course, but were the inhabitants perhaps more “visibly upset” that their taste in ultra shite art was exposed to the public? No wonder they weren’t commenting. Is Bento starting of 2012 with a “good riddance!”? He says,

“I’m saddened by the thought that there was probably at least one poker playing dogs painting also lost, several velvet paintings of tigers, and perhaps even that one of the guy sitting in the chair in front of the speaker with the lamp blowing backwards.  Such a shame.”

There was also lost several mint condition posters of tennis playing woman exposing arse and an elvis clock, and a brace of bedraggled cat and puppy post falling into toilet. And some minor Robert Junipers. Just think, if this poster hadn’t been dragging down the value of the home, it may have been a $500 000 fire. Via Perthnow.

Outrage Sunday 35 vision

Posted on January 1, 2012 by rottobloggo

I feel for teh kidz who had to unwrap this a week ago. Why give them this abomination when you could delight them with a Hannukah droidl?

I feel for Krazy Kym and me: after witnessing Bento wearing his hat inside Myer we were confronted with this:

Will the Ferralls claim “Beds is us”? Did Bob Hawke predict “None childs will has in poorness by 2012”? When people come over for a cuppa, do you ask, “One lumps or two”?

One beachgoer’s footwear is another’s happy papping.

In this deep brown, wide-skied Pert, I am fortunate to have the vision in 2012, because it fell off the back of a truck. The rest of you are on your own.

The Best Worsts of 2011

Posted on December 31, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Looking through, 2011 had probably the bests collection of worsts of any year, especially towards the beginning. This one by Pete F is one of my all time favourites.

This by Adam D was also lovely.

White Franger by Outrage, (is this the first time he’s made the best of?) still makes me laugh. In fact the inanity of Perth graffitists is kinda getting to me as shown by Mark M.

Jaidyn-Jaxxon’s hating was much appreciated. Such passion!

And of course the object of his haterising, was one of the comment threads of the year with the baffling John Howard and Winton’s lack of shoe crimes.

Shazza snapped the not worst of the year.

Bento wins the ceramics prize.

I suppose Outrage’s Couchette has to get some kind of mention.

MM’s Court Hotel was delicious!

As was Paracleet’s garage door analogue  proto tweet.

And was the elusive Derridarian ever captured and executed?

For me this non original pic was the highlight of the latter part of the year.

I had actually got 30 possible posts for best list. Too many. Thanks to you all for your contributions. Thanks to Deefock for stepping in when I have been away. Special thanks to The Bartender’s Skills with a Manhatten for his Hudson Valley juxtapositions and for taking the registered lawn to North America.

So five new years eves! Wow. What worsts for the new year?

Babydoll

Posted on December 30, 2011 by AHC McDonald

I don’t know. These Kiwis seem to revel in their sheep rooting reputations. You name your sheep Babydoll? And I just don’t think you should be mentioning that they are shitting around your vines as fertiliser on the actual bottle. But we’ve had this with New Zealand Pissmakers before. They just don’t know what’s appropriate on a wine label.

Fur Real

Posted on December 29, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Pete F again in Fremantle is in awe at shopkeeps trying to sell fur hats with earflaps and sheepskin scarves in a Perth summer. You could live your whole life in Perth and not need such headwear. Perhaps they were trying to attract the wallets of visiting Nordic sailors?

Wrong House Dickhead

Posted on December 28, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Unfortunately poor quality pic from Budda lala Land, but you get the picture. Cocos also still resolvable in bg. I have found that even skip delivery to the right house still calls down an airstrike of manky mattresses from the surrounds. Bedford.

Earthwise Subiaco

Posted on December 27, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Natalia Fan#1 takes issue with my labelling of Subiaco as a died in the arse craphole with retarded locals, an idiotic planning scheme and the only place in the world that was able to fuck up sinking a railway.  He has shown me my error. Earthwise is injecting a vibrancy sausage up the wrinkled, sagging backside of Subi, with peach vertical blinds and some fatbacks. But with the Uniting Church on board, it may be art.  It’s no Wesley though.

Opalish

Posted on December 26, 2011 by AHC McDonald

South Fremantle natch. By Pete F. I don’t know why the cashed up types have never gotten into opals. Like jarrah burls, it is impossible for anything that is not crappy to be made with an opal. Maybe these dudes can prove me wrong, but from the work they’ve done on their tyres, I am expecting not.
