On The Stump

Posted on July 6, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Another “Essence of Perth” shot. This time from Cobbler. The brick, the tiles, the Solahart, the Sulo, the palm stump. Just missing “a bladder of goon and thou”. I almost wish I was overseas so I could be nostalgic. Bayswater. Well of course it is. I’m thinking Cotton Palm rather than Cocos, but I think there’s an ole Cocos in the BG.

In the year 2055

Posted on July 6, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Rob F saw this central city, in the back stairs behind Gilkinson’s Dance Studio. What he was doing there it’s best not to ask. But again we come to the pathetic nature of Perth’s graffiteurs. Is it really something to boast about, having a pipe behind a dance studio? On the other hand, the particular blend of mandrake root and tobacco may have transported old Weaty One to the year 2055. I ask again, in November 2055, do we still remember Mainy?

Twin Towers

Posted on July 5, 2010 by AHC McDonald

This was spotted in Coogee by E.V. I can only assume they are his & hers dunnies, although there’s no Mistral cut into the glass. Nice house. It’s been a while. There may even be model of a galleon under full sail in the window, to make sure it’s clear that they have no idea what they’re doing.

Weekend Worstoff 115

Posted on July 3, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Clarkson also gives me the shits. From Reynold. And if you were wondering where Jaidyn Jaxon got his current gravatar, it’s from Leisure Island, where he feels the display is just a bit too Ooga Booga for his liking.

And did I put this one up before? I can’t remember and can’t be bothered to check. Another ill starred attempt at church humour from Natalia seen in Rockingham.

More Wood Art

Posted on July 2, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Since we were speaking about bad wood art, I remembered I had this. It’s at the Kalamunda Museum, and is quite big. It’s an indigenous type scene rendered in all of WA’s different timbers. When I saw it, I believe most people were trying to think of a polite way to ask whether the artist had used Blackbutt or not. I saw another worst connected item at the museum school, a 1979 School Paper..

Crap by Root or Burl

Posted on July 1, 2010 by AHC McDonald

When WA farmers were still recklessly clearing every last tree from the surface of the planet, mountains of Mallee roots used to turn up as firewood. Unfortunately some roots escaped being burnt and were turned into execrable clocks and other hideous decorations that vied with googly eyed gumnuts to make Perth a world artistic laughing stock. I think these monstrosities are actually Jarrah burls, another medium with which it is virtually impossible not to make something shitty. From WAtching in Fremantle. These are really awful. The sort of thing this culture vulture might buy.

East Perth. By me for a change.
