Wake in Fright

Posted on November 5, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Ronggly asks, “Does this water feature look like the kangaroo eats the green and then craps out the same geen material virtually undigested?” Yes Ronggly it does. It is a bargain compared to the Pinder Surprise though. It’s hard to believe someone would pay for this.roo

Zui bu hao…

Posted on November 4, 2009 by AHC McDonald

A number of people were apparently under the impression that I was joking about doing Chinese brush calligraphy classes in Claremont! WTF? Chinese brush calligraphy is a subject I NEVER joke about. Although these are my first attempts, I think they can be judged worst, especially since I was born a Si Ma Kuang man…perthgui

The Drinker

Posted on November 4, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Here’s another one from Caribou Bob that somehow I wasn’t able to feature in Bush Week. A crafted item from Bunbury. Yep. They just couldn’t resist the tinny could they? bunbury

A quiet crap in Allen Park…

Posted on November 3, 2009 by AHC McDonald

This was recently sent in by a journalistic type. It was labelled Allen Park 1982. They asked, “Could it be the little doggy unfortunate enough to be born into the Paul (Nurry) Murray family?” It’s hard to tell if the doggy has a copy of Murray’s Multanova piece around its neck or not. Unfortunately Murray hasn’t been bad enough to feature much lately. He’s been bad, sure. Turgid, tedious, ignorant, but not the baaaaaaad that we all came to love. Couldn’t get what he was going on about today, mainly because I didn’t read past the leaden first few pars, but his last sentence caught my eye. “He is a moral.” Did he mean amoral, or was it supposed to be he is a moral something eg vacuum? Or is moral a noun now? And by the way, Pam Mosellas. Worst retiring ever. Why are you still beavering around? So go. littledoggy

Claremont Crack Cleaner

Posted on November 3, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Apart from a  pint of beer that cost $10, there was another worst in Claremont as I waited for my Chinese calligraphy class. This metrocentric bath. Or at least I think it is a bath. So this is how the Claremont crack is cleansed? Amazing. I would love to see the Claremont take on bucket bongs.  I believe these are also all the rage in Corrigin. claremont

Toilet led vibrancy (ooshta)

Posted on November 2, 2009 by AHC McDonald

This odd display was at Bayswater festival yesterday. Something about climate change, but the toilets didn’t seem to come off the truck to use. I would be inclined to dismiss climate message if I needed a toilet. Odd. They were just sort of, on show. The festival appropriately to the toilet theme was crap. A much better example of Perth toilet ooshta was seen on the way to Bayswater festival. Now tha’s a vibrant Perth bog.toiletstoilet3toiletgrass

Ooshta

Posted on November 2, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Well thank god that some of the vibrancy is still left in this town. Rehana of Dick Piercy fame shot this. We can be proud that some plonker has authorised a plaque to the smartarses of the 1890s to go with the crappy mall bronzes we’re forced to put up with. Can I just say, mall bronzes, fuck off we’re full. I’m sure it must have been a common excuse heard in the courts at that time. “Your honour, a larrakin yelled out Ooshta, and the camel unexpectedly sat on my willie, which I was just cleaning at the time.”

However you can be sure that Colin Barnett would be deep sixing any Oooshta yelling nowadays, especially in the Northbridge area. Ooshta callers would be getting a night in the lockup with the option of being suffocated in a baking prison van the next day. Ooshta Colin. Ooshta from arsehole to breakfast. You can Ooshta from my cold dead hands. Ooshta we’re full. Ooshta FIFO. Ooshta that time forgot. Ooshta the lot of youse cork soakers. Yeah, you fucken  heard me. Ooshtaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!ooshta

Weekend Worstoff 79

Posted on October 31, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Another good week. Over 70 000 views for the month. Pam Cassellas’ last column is in the West today. Didn’t read it, but I hope it’s about how wacky cats are compared to dog, or how wacky men are compared to women. I hope you read her sign off comment here.

I took this in Forrest Place the other day. It’s the heritage marker on the GPO. Maybe it’s to make Asian visitors more comfortable? AiYa! It’s an ambitions project isn’t it? Or maybe it’s to make me feel more comfortable with my own spelling? week79gpoTony saw a lack of apostrophe which almost turns a racist sentiment into a welcome sign. Fuck off! We were full in the past, but now we’re not. week79wereG’Day from WA saw the results of desertification, as dunes of fill threaten to cover a house. I tink the dog’s under there too. week79fillAnd Meccano just liked this service station drain in St Kilda. week79bpWorst well this weekend.
