Painting the Pope

Posted on November 25, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Outrage Cohen forked out a Guildford dollar for this fabulous paint the pope by numbers kit. The price has dropped since the kit for the new pope was released (a picture of him in his Hitler Youth uniform. Very fetching.) Teh outrage wishes the scene was a more dynamic one, the assasination attempt maybe. I don’t know, there seems plenty of scope for drama. The paint is an eye irritant after all.

Mother of all Baravans

Posted on November 24, 2009 by AHC McDonald

This one is FROM Rolly, so all should couch their comments in terms of “Irrelevant timewasting…” Typically useless post…” “Metrocentric…” “Moan, Grump…” “Why bother sending this tripe..?” “Rebarbative…” “I couldn’t give a stuff about your van picture sending abilities…” &cetera.

Also remember it is this Saturday eve at The Brisbane for those who are coming. I’ll be there before 7, but come anytime or not as you see fit.

Upper Swan

Posted on November 24, 2009 by AHC McDonald

For every photo. There is an angle. I think they have laid the pathway deliberately so you get this scene just before seeing the belltower. As though your head was “upper swan” and then saw the light of Dicky’s Doodle.

Don’t eat the brown water

Posted on November 23, 2009 by AHC McDonald

From Nicola on her way through Adelaide. Adelaide has always been famous for its bad beer, (although as I’ve said before, New Zealand’s Speights is the worst of all beers) and it is always blamed on the water. Maybe it’s toilet water. Nicola thought the signs may be directed at Adelaide’s dogs.

Brock of Iron

Posted on November 23, 2009 by AHC McDonald

At least I think it’s Brocky. Maybe it’s Brock of irony. The negative version seems to be clearer that it is Brocky, but the lips seem a little louche for Peter Perfect. Another suggestion is that it’s Ian Diffen. No matter who it is, the main questtion is why it is in a sort of grotto in front of a Kalamunda house. Unlike Lillee’s Lair, it seems to be a substantial piece. I love pics like this. This is what the historians of the future will be grateful for.Thanks to Cimbali.

Weekend Worstoff 82

Posted on November 21, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Bit of an anticlimax now that the million views have been reached. Nothing to look forward to for a year and a half. Thanks to all who clicked up a storm. Congrats to Curious who chose a Perth The Bunbury of The North Tshirt as her prize. There have been a few sold now.

Now worstoffs. I found this very sad looking sign in East Perth. A bit like Freo after the loss of the America’s Cup, the aftermath of the 2008 Puppetry Festival has not seen the urban boom and thousands of jobs that were promised.

Cookster is really carving a niche for himself with the out of focus quokkaabilia. This time a fridge magnet. And Rehana found that hard times have brought out the depression recipes again. Maybe some stone soup to go with that paper snack. And I can’t remember if we’ve had this before, or someone told me about it, or someone sent it and it’s sitting in the pile somewhere a few thousand emails ago, but it’s worth showing again. I think it may be a set up. You go to berate the farmer about his spelling, and leave with a kilo of strabs. Thanks G’day.

Ben Elton, Fuck off we’re full! Irrational Hatreds #3

Posted on November 20, 2009 by AHC McDonald

You know who shits me? Ben Fucking Elton. How long can one man rely on Margaret Thatcher being a cunt and writing some of Blackadder? Blackadder gets you some slack for bringing out one crap book, but surely not thirteen. He was cringeingly bad on GNW last week, and then the prick apologises to the Queen for jokes that weren’t even offensive AND moves to Fremantle permanently. He’s trying to make Tim Winton look good.

Park Life

Bento saw this ambit claim for parking, I’m not sure where. Looks like Highgate to me. I would really like to know what the erased words were, since cunt got left in.

Million Chong March

Posted on November 19, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Winner!  Several people sent in 1000 032, but Curious was the first to reach my inbox. Actually it still says ’32. So many clicking at the same time, I think youse broke it. What product you want Curious?

 

For those wanting to be in the running for a TWOP product of their choice for getting a screen shot closest to a million hits, start screensaving soon. Please no photoshop hanky panky. Send me the full screenshot, so I can peep the pixels for any jiggery pokery just to be sure. In the meantime, I hope everyone has seen Skink’s superb Million Chong March T Shirt. Good luck, and let’s hope it’s not Cohen winning again.

New balls please

Posted on November 19, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Martin sent this shot from City Beach Tennis Club. Someone left the gates open and voila! What a lovely post for the millionth viewer. I heard that a similar outrage was perpetrated on the playing field of a prominent girl school by a group from a prominent boys’ school recently. The nurries seem to be animated. Or perhaps it’s time lapse in the style of Duchamp’s  “Nurries descending a staircase.”
