Small Barism Margaret River

Unexpectedly Margaret River has a small bar that was actually nice. Certainly a step up from wine wankerism and surfturdism down the street. Boho. I recommend the Mojitos.

Weekend Worstoff 151

If there was a Winton signed dugong, I’d be there. The over earnest sea patrol and their celebrity Communards. Click pic for the whole sad story.Speaking of the over earnest, a laughable hand rendered poster from Matt via Northcote Melbourne. They really do love their Communism over there still don’t they? I haven’t been able to spot Uncle Sam yet, but the blood of spent workers is nice.A DFOC inspired Fremantle Sunday morning pic again by Matt. BTW, I have been sent multiple, multiple copies of a naked unconscious woman on a Midland train. Thanks everyone, but I couldn’t really be sure of the ownership of the photo, and she looked identifiable. It seemed that she might be possibly mentally ill too, so I decided not to use it. I appreciate you all thinking of me though.

Again I have to question whether Perth’s graffiti is really worth the effort. From Golden Boy.

Ethics

I should give Orbea a rest, but his blurry shot from the front of Laminator Tard House née Lotteries House was too good. You may remember Lotteries House City West, where there are 20 plus laminated signs for every employee, with turd curdling inanities concerning the use and misuse of toilet brushes, soap dispensers, urns and coffee grounds accompanied by the worst clip art. I hope by now that someone has rammed the laminator up the arse of the turkey responsible. Don’t worry, the ethics committee would clear it in a second.I did have an ethical quandary over whether to leave the phone number in or not. I was tempted.

Poor Christchurch

Some may remember a post of an elephant orgy gracing a Thai restaurant I went to in Christchurch. Here is the place now, largely rubble like the rest of the city, although as you can see, the carving remains. For those that know (or rather knew) the city, there is a comprehensive record here.

Night of the dried apricots

They’re signing thousand year leases for shops down at the new Claremont Quarter. The centre also wants a corridor to the sea. Apparently. Why wasn’t Outrage onto this? Auteured by PJW.

Casablanca

Rick: Why did you have to come to Casablanca? There are other places.
Ilsa: I wouldn’t have come if I’d known that you were here. Believe me Rick, it’s true I didn’t know…
Just a suburban scene by first time submitter Shadowsand. Nice palm. Naval Base.

The Palace of Angels 1973. Italian

Following the mysterious disappearance of his wife, a father of three sons, (aged 18, 14 and 6) Brabham, hires an attractive young housekeeper named Angela, and soon becomes engaged to her.
However, the one most obsessed with her is the middle son, the teenager Nino. He blackmails her into eventually tolerating his increasingly aggressive physical sexual harassments. He also becomes more political, leaving aside his predeliction for penis graffiti, he daubs a Fremantle real estate sign with the words, “Working Class people need not aply” in order to impress Angela. The house is quickly sold to a grano worker making him look foolish. Angela flirts with the grano worker, laughing at Nino’s attempts to spell “apply”. Often her tits almost pop out. She also ridicules his Moto Guzzi for having a “ridiculous braking system”.

It all culminates one night before she marries his father. During the night the electricity goes off. As his father and older brother are away, and with his younger brother asleep, Nino approaches his housekeeper with a flashlight and orders her to undress. She gives in after an initial physical protest, but runs away after finishing undressing. Nino chases her with the flashlight until he accidentally drops it. With the flashlight in her own hands, Angela decides it is time to turn the tables. She blinds Nino with the flashlight and when he tries to reach for it, she pins the frightened kid to a nearby bed and rapes him while calling him to “Fotti! Fotti!” (“Fuck! Fuck!”). She also dresses him in 50% off effeminate shirts from Subiaco, formerly a working class suburb. With Nino finally losing control over her, she marries his father the following day and his father instructs Nino to refer to her as “Mamma” from now on.
Produced and directed by Pete F.

She emasculated him with a shirt.

On topic, I saw that the Sunday Times had an article on how Subi had died in the arse. I think I broke that news 2 years ago.

Truth Generator

You believe what you want to believe in this world apparently, according to my twitter feed today anyhow. Or maybe I’m the one being pranked. Am I? I hope so.

@theworstofperth Menstrual pain simulated in male lab rats. “No particular reason,” said Professor Fiona Brown, project leader.”

Dear TWOP,
I came across your Twitter about Fiona Brown’s ‘work’ in simulating menstrual pain in male lab   and wasn’t able to find an original article/reference, would you be able to send me anything/point me in the right direction as to where you read/heard this? I run a campaign against Vivisection and am always interested in scientifically erroneous experiments.
Thanks very much,

Brabham

Geoff Vivian took this one on Sunday. Everyone had to drive past it to reach the naming ceremony for the new suburb of Brabham. It would be a bit like driving past a broken toilet to the opening of Darch. Or seeing your own car driving off in Rockinhgham – on fire, as you went to the turning of the first Rocky sod.
Did we ever get the reason whySir Jack Brabham was flown over from the Gold Coast, to have a Perth sandpit named after him? Oh here it is. There’s even less connection than I expected.

Brabham entry statement.
