Weekend Worstoff 117

Since the Dockers were total shit for the whole period of his watch, I think it’s a little unfair of former skipper Peter “Will I look less of a loser by living in Geraldton?” Bell to turn Dockers hater now that they’re showing some form. You would never have got Mainy doing that.  Outrage Cohen finds some remarkable Perth blend tea. “What next, Coogee Capuccino?” asks Outrage. Indeed. I notice it’s got that Bergamot zing that that crackpt cooking woman advertises in Twinings ads. Nigella Lawson is it? The one that they suspiciously never show the lower half of her body.And another in the continuing series of moronic graffiti in Perth. Why would someone go to the trouble of getting down there to write idiot? William Street Nrthbridge.

Lyin’ Zion

Thanks to the design and The Worst of Perth fans who came to Kulcha last night for my talk to the Australian Graphic Design Association. Good night. This was in the gents. Nuff said.

Retard my Retread Ricky

I will be using this one in my presentation to the The Australian Graphic Design Association tonight. Surely it is part of the responsibility of the designer to prevent the end user, the customer looking like a complete tit when your work is on display? I know that since Ricky Ponting always looks like such a fucking retard, that it’s a hard road, but that is where the craft of the designer should come out no?

Gang Bang Nite

If it were me, I’d be separating Gang-Bang Nite and Ladies Nite by more than 1 day. I’m half tempted to try Kafei Van @Walcott, but I’m not really sure which Nite would suit me? Maybe I’ll take the boy to Family Rumble? Seen by Chris H.

A Flamingo’s Slot Closes…

It may be my brain or the fact that the number of posts is now over 1200, but I was certain that I had posted this magnificent Lathlain letterbox consisting of a vcr lashed to a concrete flamingo. And yet I can’t find it. I know it has been sent to me. How could I have neglected such a superb mound of crap?It’s even got the number 5 on it! JaneZ sent the latest pics, including its recent descent into vanished worst status. This is the exact same concrete flamingo that I need to complete my own set, but I fear this one will never grace a bed of agapanthas again. At least Dominos keep stuffing the vcr slot.

Alcock – All the time

Perhaps I need to run a workshop for Perth’s abysmal graffiti set. Look, if the dude’s name is Alcock, you don’t need to erase the “Al” and manufacture a “Ho”. Just a simple donger juxtaposed with the Alcock monicker would have been enough. We would all be nodding with a quiet smile on our faces, thinking “yeah, All COCK”, but rubbing our faces in the Dale cock is just superfluous. Dale Cock Ho. Doesn’t even make sense. Not cool man. Not cool. Another from Byford by Dave L.

Weekend Worstoff 116

I have a dim memory of this being sent before, but a garden with several concrete aboriginals is worth another look. From Brendan H.Speaking of already worsted, let me thank the 8 people who have sent me the Greens and Cock sign. We have had it before, and apparently they deliberately used the word “cock” and it is not graffiti. Ths last version by Bob Loblaw. The Camel Tow towtruck has already been covered too btw.Bob also saw the plates for the Shire of Goomalling. If having possums is the best you can boast about, then you might as well go with State of Excitement.And Vegan saw what looks like a blatant attempt to discourage the disabled from visiting Margaret River. That’s almost as expensive as parking at The Convention Centre in Perth.And lest we forget from Damien W.

All boxes ticked…

A crudely drawn donger, concrete boozies, baffling intent, inhuman rendering, Cocos Palms, Xmas decorations still up in April, AND Bunbury? Booooooy Howdy Auto-Cat! Mark found this in his photo archives, but it remains as fresh today as when the concrete  boozies were still setting. Perhaps the donger is all part of it, added fresco style into the still wet cement? This is about a perfect a worst as you could get. Oh, AND the bore water stains. And wait, is the head modelled on Tiny Pinder too?

Blue Hornet – A Cavalcade of Perversion

DMc thought youse might appreciate this. A band who have played at every one of the definitive Perth and surrounds Worst events. Their website is almost as bad as the Mens Confraternity too which is an added bonus. Would love to see the setlist.

Perth Venus! Gold!

I have pixellated the band photos just leaving the events and venuses as BH were concerned about copyright, (seriously would anyone want to copy anything from this 1996 style web page?) but have a look for yourselves.

Dog Rock of The Hills

I’m not convinced that the ears of this Kalamunda “Dog Rock” have been formed by geological forces as old as time. On the other hand, neither was the the collar on Albany’s Dog Rock. A worst by Shaun. These hills attempts at garden worsts a la the still baffling Black Brocky are a worrying sign. Very worrying. Recreation Road for those interested in a purchase. You may be able to get a discount of a few thousand by asking why that stupid fucking rock is in the garden.
