Buggered Bacchus

Posted on August 20, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Skink saw this near Boddington. It’s entitled “Bacchus”, but Skink is right in thinking that Bacchus (or Dionysius to The Greeks) was supposed to be youthful, or even androgynous looking. Not usually represented as a hungover old bastard.

Vote 1 Emo Simpkins

Posted on August 19, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Finally The Worst of Perth has a candidate to get behind. Thanks Rehana. Lovely hair work. Pity it wasn’t earlier. Could have had old Emo involved Nukem Buckels Style. This defacer has taken about 15 years off Emo’s age by the look of his website. He actually looks a whole lot better here. Location? Alexander Heights. Favourite band? My Chemical Bromance.

Mainy’s Lost Horizon

Posted on August 17, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Bento took a trip to Gerro recently and kindly took a shot of their monument to Mainy. In the tradition of TWOP he made sure he included the nearby toilet block. I’m a bit disappointed with Geraldton. Surely they could have worked up something more garish and repulsive than a beach hut, as if Mainy was playing some kind of lowbrow Gilligan to Ben Cousins’ Skipper, (and John Worsfold’s Mr Howell).

Collingwood Flange

Posted on August 16, 2010 by AHC McDonald

In Collingwood flange, room to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Woh-oh, Collingwood flange, dream your dream – seven bucks a night…

Pete F sent this, assuring me you could see Collingwood flange! You need a polariser my friend, of the photographic not Peter Brock kind to lose some of that reflection. Seems to be something hanging out of it though. Port Arlington.

Bandicooted

Posted on August 16, 2010 by AHC McDonald

WAtching found a bandicoot that was torn between a desire to sell flowers, and save endangered species. Teh ‘coot also hid some signs when the lens was turned on him, and has a common difficulty in estimating the size of letters. What did the signs say WA? I think Underwood Reserve has something to do with UWA.

Weekend Worstoff 121

Posted on August 14, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Three shots I took yesterday.
A lovely album shot of the truly awful Max Kay. The man’s a disgrace to Perth.And here’s a cow skull in Northbridge. Very outre.And I’m not exactly sure what the deal is with the swimming pool shape above the entrance to the terribly designed new central tafe. Is it a joke? Or is the hideous pastel the real crack-up?

Brulee

Posted on August 13, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Here I am ruling those Creme Brulees and pwning those duck a la oranges. And I saw Gilly in Clarences on the way home. A Good day. And yes my name badge does say Jean Jeudi for any Henry Miller fans.

Cock au Vin

Posted on August 13, 2010 by AHC McDonald

I’m taking a French cooking class* today and won’t be in the office, so moderation may be a little slower from the iphone. What image would go with French cuisine? OK…let’s seeee. Maybe this from Damien W? Close enough?*not a euphemism.
