Hairnet Catastrophe

Hundreds of hairnets were strewn along Mounts Bay Rd yesterday morning. Some truck roll-over perhaps. The spotty teens running Claremont Hungry Jacks needed emergency nets ‘coptered in from Subiaco. Arrived just in time.
I thought they were hundreds of bride garters at first.

I’m a celebrity, let me fall to my death

There’s so much wrong with this, fake celebrities, (including the poor man’s Russell Woolf Michael Shultz), Belltower, wearing orange, abseiling into a boat. The highlight of the week, the highlight mind you is Wear Orange Wednesday. And organisers told me that placement of safety harnesses will prevent looking up Michael Shultz and Ebbeny Farranda’s respective dresses. Not cool. (Ebbeny? Really?) And no Mignon Henny? For shame.

Corksoaker

An old comedy crony Bluey Von Steiger sends in this from the Mandurah Dogs. If Howling Wolves is the TWOP wine, then Cork Soaker would be the official obscenity referencing dog. Btw Bluey, and other occasional contributors (and well known cork soakers) Don (The Don) Smith, the excellent Alex (Phony Abott) Manfrin and guests are performing at Perth Zoo theatre this Sunday at 7.30. (No, they’re not performing corksoaking, you’re thinking of the Old Mill Theatre toilets.) Details and bookings to Holly on 0402 001 116. Drinks and snacks available, all proceeds to the Silvery Gibbon Foundation which incredibly and possibly counter-intuitively raises money to save Silvery Gibbons. After Corksoaker’s run in crabtown, he may be in need of saving too.

Lady’s Stubbie Holders

Stubbie holders. Another one like registered lawns to puzzle the outside reader. I wonder what they are called in Manhattes, if they even exist. This is in Busselton, where I am quite sure ladies were replaced by moles (and their fellow travellers “fucken moles”) long ago. I can see the red one being used by a country bridesmaid though. Not by a lady’s. Remember when stubbie holders were hard plastic with a polystyrene insert? Good times eh? Update: Snuff has sent an old school stubbie holder which I have added below.

Outrage Sunday 27 Saussure sizzle

TWOP goe’s all dyadic on you’re asses! You will recall from you’re communications unit at uni that “Nothing is a sign unless it is on my vibrant blog” (McDonald, while sitting on the khazi). And don’t forget: “You cant’ have a totally meaningless signifier or a completely formless signified” (Motto of next years B&S). Or, to put it in the demotic: “Referbish this!” (Cohen, after his chair collapsed at the council meeting’s).

Subiaco:

Midland:

Cottesloe:

Some signs can’t handle the truthiness, and self-explode: is this one above or below the bar, hmmm? – Myaree (cheers Fremantlebiz):

With such semiotic dissonance, its’ no surprise’s shopper’s in Midland forget their mood-enhancing drug’s on the way back to their car’s:

Signing off.

Weekend Worstoff 176 hostage edition

Outrage here. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but TLA is being held hostage in Rurotardia. I was wondering why no WW until I received a disturbing image of a blindfolded TLA holding a copy of today’s Busselton Mail. His captors say he will be ripped apart by B&S utes unless we send a ransom. You could smell the fear. It was nice knowing him.

“I will weep over his remains.”

The TWOP team working hard to secure TLA’s release:

Even the dolphins are weeping at TLA’s captivity.

He’s on his own: Krazy Kym and I are off to the Media Ball!

McLeod’s Morons

What are all these excruciatingly embarrassing kuntry wagons doing in our city? Shouldn’t these rurotards be wallowing in the filth of their subsidies back in Corrigin? I had to add one city smartarse truther to the mix to take the curse off. 1) Root a Pig by Bento. 2) Cause I’m Kuntry by Baldbutts. 3) Run for Your Wife by Simon. 4) Truther Wagon aka The same shop I bought my arse, By Pete F. With that last one, I appear to show city smartarses dumber than kuntry cuzz’s. Such is Wife.

Binning History

The Colour H took shots of CHOGM artworks in the *snort* Cultural Centre, and wondered what happened to the pieces afterwards. See below. And Jane saw some pro CHOGM love in Angove Street North Perth.
