Cottesloe, and the apogee of Western civilisation thanks to the resources boom. Optional apostrophe-abusing wok burner $7500.
In Claremont they put Nollamara on a pedestal.
In Guildford they’re concerned with bigger things.
Also in Guildford they’re getting a bit spooky: this scene at the train driver place must be a CHOGM exercise.
The next big thing: steering wheel cover headwear. Fashion maketh the man. My cravat was being dry-cleaned. T-shirt by House of Skink.
In some parts of Australia you’d see hubcaps by the road. In South Australia it’s toilet seats according to Tullio.
Tullio also saw some South Australian humour, which although influenced by German settlement, is still sharp.
The Duck Toucher saw a tree with sex on it in Port Hedland. Sure. Closest they get up that way. South Hedland is a different matter obviously.
Daniel T says, “You’ve never replied to my emails about photos I’ve sent, maybe it’s because I’m not a high class citizen or so.”But this will be my last one.” Dude don’t ever give up. Royal Perth Hospital.
And an attempted tableau from Blake (Didn’t you have a twop name? Can’t remember). Out the front of Gazman, Witchery Man and Bang & Olufsmen apparently. Subi? Witchery Man.?Jeeezarse. Even a metrosexual would give pause at such a shop.
Worst well.
Look I don’t know. Seen on the Curtin Uni noticeboards, but only this one left. Seems more interesting, and yet just as ridiculous as the Guild’s Oktoberfest on this week at Supreme Court Gardens. (I still wonder why The Guild don’t cut out the middleman and hold it outside the police lockup. Supreme Court sounds a bit up themselves – Oktoberfest, not cross rooting Aliens I mean. At least they should begin at the Magistrates Court.)
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane. -Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno
Well obviously. And this must be the “high art” that those primo whiners Adorno & Horkheimer were defending, or would have been if they had fled to Morley rather than being forced to complain about jazz, freedom and movies in America. Or would “Puckered spinnaker” have been too omnipotently profane for you Theo? These two masterpieces auteured into 2D by Brer Bento have theorists divided as to age. They must either be 60 years or 6 months old. The six month proponents point out the startling resemblance to Outrage haiku, poor syllable count and all. The rest are generally claiming “Gay? Pucker? Wot fuck?” and murmuring about a nuevo Ern Malley hoax.
Gay spinnakers pucker
Life returns to idle tillers
Catspaws scamper across the water.
Wouldn’t “idle tilers” have been more resonant? Another tradie seduced by minesite wages?
Centered clay
A bowl is born
The wheel stands still
I like how they could centre the clay, but not the text.
Masterpiece.
By Saltysuzy. The “empty dreams” would be the Pablo and the “false hope” would be the International Roast decaf? Use of the cafe bar is of course a privilege not a right.
TWOP’s New York correspondent The Bartenders Skills with a Manhattan may well bleat about 1700s taverns being painted purple in the Hudson River Valley, but this is Perth baby. Thornlie and Embleton. Seriously, is this all there is? How do such things get built? And while lockable shutters including on the breadbin might be necessary in Thornlie, I just can’t imaging the circumstances where someone would sign off on the Embleton house recently finished. “Now we are facing due West into the roasting Perth afternon sun, so make sure we have no eaves or anything shading the windows. Insanity. Surely it could qualify for Perth’s ugliest affordable house?
Matt claims this was the best ride at the Royal Show. Was it $15 per Matt? Actually they should have made it $80 a go, the hook being that you get to stand up and walk away afterwards.
Make tomorrow’s future discoverers better. The market for uni students is insanely competitive, judging by the insane slogans and bewildering advertising coming out of the dreaming spires. This UWA image of a lift on the beach is clearly a smarter Stargate. It must be tricky when sand gets in the gears of your Schindler, though.
Krazy Kym and I saw Submarine at Luna Leederville, which was meh. The highlight – apart from a vanilla choc bomb with chocolate thicker than Merkava armour – was this trinity of worsts in the toilet. Perhaps the Luna people laid the orange tile to evoke the French New Wave cinema vibe. I have sent the “ultra slim” to Bethany Keeley (who sometimes posts five times a day, and has readers far more gracious than some here).
The fiasco that is the Graham Farmer Freeway was made momentarily tolerable on Friday evening when drivers saw POOTSY up the yoghurty ass of CONDEMND.
Not so much condemnd as frightend out of your thongs at the threat of a $140 fine in Subiaco. Is it me, or is wheel-clamping un-Australian and evidence of a bankrupt spirit and total cuntishness?
A tribute to the great man in Comic sans. Well that’s a slap in the face. By Nataliafan#1. Now Dicky Court or Margaret Court…
Ass yoghurt by James N. in Nedlands. (Scoop missed by Outrage in The Post)
Lucky star shows that multiculturalism (and possibly homosexuality) are totally cool in Dog Swamp, where Adam and Omar am shit..
And John S likes this toy prison on Lord Street.
Worst well.
More history. The building once at the corner of Outram Ord Street and Thomas Street in West Perth in the actual process of falling. It was either Al Queada or Osborne Park All Demos. I think it was the Disability Services building. Can’t remember what went up in its place. Late 1990s. And a shot of a dude with a Culture Club shirt, I took on the streets of Northbridge 1983.
