Santafixion, Rudolph Rampant

Posted on December 15, 2011 by AHC McDonald

The Duck Toucher found a crucified Santa in Hilton, in rather an anti Christmas mode, scaring off poor and frozen garden pests. Surely leaving out a bottle of beer for the caterpillars and slugs is called for at this time of year? Rongly also sends a rudie Rudolph from Oregon.

Ballustrade

Posted on December 14, 2011 by AHC McDonald

I only depart from my original photo policy for the exceptional. This house in Applecross for sale qualifies. By Adam G. Jesus if she’s not in the mood by the time you got her to the top of these stairs, it isn’t going to happen. Enough to make your eyes water. Original link.The rails would be the Italian influence at a guess.

Reverse Cowgirl

Posted on December 13, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Tullio was bemoaning (the quintessential act of the worster) the crapness of the xmas corporate family fun day at Claremont Showgrounds, when his day was brightened by this muffler riding a giant muffler. I have always admired how mufflers are popularly fashioned into muffler men and women. There’s something about a “live” muffler in a display that makes me feel good. Not worst. (One from 4 years ago, assumedly vanished.)

Goon Saloon

Posted on December 12, 2011 by AHC McDonald

I’m sure that sociologists of the future (aka FC’s) will see this blog as covering a critical turning point in this city, where Perth started changing from widely regarded architectural, cultural,  journalistic, fashion and graffiti joke, to an actual mature city. It does seem to be changing despite the frequent backsliding. And despite it all, it wasn’t the politicians or the booms or even She-Ra Lisa Scaffidi, but it really was the small bars that did it. Alannah MacTiernan’s Mad Cuntz opening soon in Maylands sees the concept moving into the suburbs, and Jaidyn Jaxxon even found an example on the edge of Rurotardia in the hills near the Helena River – although its wine (goon) drinking aspirations are lagging behind the reality of the actual fluids served, perhaps not helped by a typical country duewburning sensibility. (Centrelink for out of towners is the unemployment office.) But baby steps no? Do you think we have turned some kind of corner, despite the counter examples easily found?

Outrage Sunday 32 crouching tiger, hidden nurries

Festive fare: will you be getting a shaver in your Christmas sac?

It’s taken this guy 10 months to get from Nollamara to Midland:

Young David Bell at Teh Voice isn’t carving turkey on December 25:

I would buy Krazy Kym a little bauble for her stocking, but anyone thinking images will invade my privacy enrages me:

Will ISAF be over by Christmas?

Bah humbug.

Weekend Worstoff 181

Posted on December 10, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Mark R has a lovely addition to the Pizza Showtime thread. Noone has found a Firm keyring yet have they?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bento saw that Jesus jockeys want their hearts spring cleaned. Margaret Court might bring round the Brasso.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bento also raises an Arrondissement eyebrow at Esprit’s “Wish” display, and questions whether the booy has written an n or a cursive k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senectus sees this timely warning to those contemplating cricket in Maylands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Golden Boy asks what Sushi with Coons, or even Goons means in this context.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worst well.

Dumping Dichotomy

Posted on December 9, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Vegan’s refined Nedlands dumping ie a flowered heart or flowered heart hat, compared with…

…Budda lala land’s Bassendean dumping. Whoa Basso! Sanitary pad bins, massage cushions, and masses of footwear and deflated balls. Basso wins. That’s why Rolf didn’t come from Nedlands.

Lethal Vibrancy 2

Posted on December 6, 2011 by AHC McDonald

You know, I have slagged off the city a lot, kicking against the pricks (Derridarians) of flavourless development till my feet have bled, but every so often there’s a sign that saving the traditional can go along with new development. A mint VHS copy of Lethal Weapon 2 on a pole next to an emerging carpark on the Swan. It hits every spot. And with Mel Gibson’s car seen around town lately, then maybe it can turn out OK after all. Thanks to Hendo. The VHS kinda looks like it’s crucified on that pole.
