Post Cocos

RubyRuby saw a once massive Cocos that had met its match in the form of a bog standard letterbox. The final indignity is a number 4 hammered into its mighty, (poxy) bark. Well done residents of number 4, Alexander Heights. Now how about doing the rest?

Charlie Sheen on Crack

Drusilla saw this on the window of Jack The Lads Menswear on the corner of Walcott and Teh Arrondissement. I like that someone has seen the Charlie Sheen pic promoting those lame shirts he wears on the show, gone home, constructed a sign, including a badly drawn heart, come back with sticky tape and stuck it on. Bravo to all concerned. I’m giving it the coveted not worst tag.

Weekend Worstoff 141

Travis saw this Ryan Reynolds  tribute wagon in Bunbury. I like the suspicious local in the second pic too. Meccano can’t remember if he sent this before, and neither can I. Strange choice of name for a medical waste company. Maybe it’s delberately humorous? If so, no doubt they’re always baking pies for friends as a joke too. RubyRuby saw the tightarse way to customise/moronise a ute. And I love this shot from Pete F from Spearwood. Just seems such a Perth scene man, with the golden portal promising so much more. Walk towards the light… Left it clickable so you can check the details. Worst well.

Kicked, burnt, tagged and rooted

Well it might as well be Pete F month. Some lovely stuff coming in from him, including this from Medina. A grass tree kicked over and tagged. Perth’s worst grafffiti isn’t the alarmingly haphazard cock stuff, but the tagging of fallen plant material. As if to say, “Temporary rotting plant material, you are my bitch. ” Don’t these things take 100 years to grow?

The International Passport to Cock Smoking Pleasure

Perth worsters have been delivered a glass of cold water in the face by Manhattan worster, The Bartender’s skills with a Manhatten, in that Perth’s plague of cock graffiti may be a culturally specific (and Derridarian) artefact. Apparently, (and I have seen this even in other Australian locations), international cock graffiti tends to be image vandalism based, where a cock may be superimposed on a poster’s mouth. Not a poster as in a blogger, but as in an actual poster. The Perth norm with the diembodied cock and balls seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps our unique cocks can be leveraged into some kind of tourist trap? Lisa She-Ra Scaffidi take note.  Some various examples of International style and Perth style follow. Somewhere I have hundreds more, but the task of sorting through 29 thousand emails is too daunting. I need a secretary who can double as a cock filter. Yes, I have 29 000 worst of emails. Yes I have hundreds of photos of graffiti cocks.

Included are two masterpieces by Pete F. FYI in the third pic, the text continues, “During the flight, mousturise and protect your flange.” and what is the first one rendered in? Someone brought along a glue gun? A fucking kerbing machine? I like how they eschewed the obvious tongue shot.

The Benches of Point Percy

Grilla took a stroll around Point Percy (aka Point Walter) and discovered a tourist trail that puts the covered bridges of Madison County to shame. The benches of Point Percy each have their own flavour. One has views but is actually in the water.  One isn’t in the water, but faces a blank fence and scrub. Another isn’t in the water, has  a view, but is broken. Must have been strong vandals to carry one of those mothers into the river, or is this the rising water levels we’ve all been hearing about?

The Love Box

So, so, many great shots coming in from people, that I thought I better make an effort myself. I love this letterbox on Morley Drive. Is that Cupid? Eros? Romulus? Surely not Frig-in’ Loki? (That Loki shit is like, whoa dude, fuuuuck! by the way. Well worth subscribing to that site.)
Anyway. Morely drive. Now before you write in, can I stress that I LIKE the letterbox. You may want to take in the text above that explicity states that I love it. The letterbox is cool Daddyo, (if a little over engineered). Remember, I’m liking teh box. If someone’s asking me, “Dude, what’s goood?” I will be answering by referring them to this image. If only everyone’s mail could be blessed by a box such as this. This is a box I could get behind. Your privacy is not being invaded by someone taking a photo of your love box that’s in full view on a public road.            Lovin’ the box, just quietly.

Jesus Never Closes

By Shaun N, Maddington. Your move Farmer Jacks. Isn’t Jesus closed on Good Friday except in tourist areas? Bonus megapalm. Looks beyond Cocos to me. Majesty palm?

Weekend Worstoff 140

Mark from Kwinana saw an ineffective paint removal job at Mandurah Catholic College. Go Leavers 07! Another Southern Mark, Mark M accepts that Rockingham tradies might not notice the spelling anyway. Grilla submits both a Golden Shower tree in O’Connor and focusing ability as worsts. And Bento saw that the old Worth’s sign is still extant over the mall.

Tiny Head and Friends

A worst by Natalia fan#1. Wembley Food Court. I’ve always thought any food court should be in the Hague. “Spring roll, you have been convicted of being 2 weeks old…” Those Beatles, YIKES! And aren’t there two “looks like an old lesbian” Pauls in that group? And BB “Tiny Head” King, WHOA!tiny head
