Bass Tard

Posted on September 13, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Jeff K recently sent in a pic for a worstoff, then hoped noone would ever be able to capture his own “Bass Tard” numberplate. I saw Teh Tard yesterday Jeff, but couldn’t zoom close enough to capture the plate – but I have your spoor.

Weekend Worstoff 72

Posted on September 12, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Well we are heading towards two years of The Worst of Perth. September is already here, but why are the christmas decorations not up yet?

David Fucking Outrage Cohen sends in three worthy weekend worsts. Apostrophe abuse has become all too common, but this one is so egregious it is still worth a shot. DFOC says.

The apo abuse one was most distressing, as it was in a second-hand bookshop.
There were other signs saying Stair’s and Sport’s…in a bookshop!

week72apoabuseChris saw a sign that had worse spelling than mine. Unfortunately this sign can’t be corrected so easily. Thanks Chris. At least it didn’t say pubic.

week72publicDFOC also saw the disturbing sight of someone taping a mirror to their steering wheel to apply makeup while driving. Seems a little “stalky” DFOC, but well done.

week72mirrorDFOC also received this gem linking Cannes to Busselton.

A little bit of Cannes comes to Busselton – Media Statement CinefestOZ media release – 4 Sept 2009
Western Australia will host Cannes Marché du Film Executive
Director Jérôme Paillard as the key speaker of a forum
on digital media at the Australian/French film festival
CinéfestOZ in Busselton on Saturday September 12, 2009.

What with Mandurah as Venice, Busso as Cannes, Bunbury would be what Nancy?

And a nice photo of a nice numberplate from Mark0.

week72moffoA nice worstoff. Worst well.

Fart in Bag

Posted on September 11, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Might as well finish off the week with a couple more varsity shots. The first is one I saw at Curtin. Self explanatory in every way except for why. And Brad sent in some graffiti from UWA. At first I thought it said “Your dog – My Cunt”, but apparently it is a loveheart. Your dog loves cunt. That one is a little more opaque. Am at a conference at Burswood all day. Carmen Lawrence is speaking. So am I.

…on the white telephone

Posted on September 10, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Since you all hated the last Curtin poster so much, here’s another which is more engaging. I had no idea that pub crawls still existed. I mean with insurance and liability problems, I thought this sort of thing was long gone. Good thing this is a Guild approved poster, otherwise it might have included an illustration of this drunk business student being sodomised by an  agribusiness postgraduate. Phew. Thanks to Laser for this one.

Grease My Lips

Posted on September 9, 2009 by AHC McDonald

What is The West trying to say with their photo of Brendon Grylls today on page 21? Is that blood on his lips, or is it grease from when he’s been trying to suck start tractors? The other guys seem relatively…Iwas going to say normal, but Norman Moore is never going to be describable as normal looking.  But, Jeez!

Would also wipe it on the curtains…

Posted on September 9, 2009 by AHC McDonald

The old roots, shoots and leaves joke on educational display at Lake Cave Augusta. Is that appropriate for children? Or adults? I also include a shot that I had to blow up severely, but couldn’t get it clear enough for its own post. Someone has added a “t” possibly in lipstick to Wanneroo Rd to make it Wanneroot road. Ahh, the simple pleasures. Balcatta.

Inseminators 09

Posted on September 8, 2009 by AHC McDonald

 

Could someone leave a comment about why thousands of mainly Singaporeans are viewing this 16yo post in December 2025 LOL?

Someone commented that I should get a shot of this poster seen up around Curtin. They got pulled down pretty quickly, but I managed to find one lodged in a cranny near the Tavern. You know, the artwork does have a kind of dumb charm. I have to say that I quite like it, despite its obvious ah, problems. I’m tempted to go not worst.  I would class the events more as worsts, the burnout and wet tshirts comps, and the fact that the bar doesn’t open until 8 hours after the gates open. inseminatorscuinseminatorsbuninseminatorswd

Rictus Belmontus

Posted on September 7, 2009 by AHC McDonald

In the third century B.C. the Greek stoic philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after giving his donkey wine, then seeing it attempt to feed on figs.

In the 21st Century Skink visited Belmont Forum, possibly to put shit on Belmontonians. What he saw will shock you. A competition to send Belmont your best smile, with some graphic design that suggests some hideous hysterical death caused by some toxic mould that grows on shopping trolleys. Every one of the subjects seems to be begging “Kill me, please!” with their eyes. It does seem to confirm my suspicions that the only smile you’ll get in Belmont is a photoshopped one. I was pouring shit on Belmont myself in the live show last week.  Skink claims the website is even worse than this, however, like the La Chong offerings, I prefer to be above such links and refuse to look. I prepared my own as if I would be happy to go to Belmont. It’s harder than it looks. No matter what I did, I couldn’t look happy about Belmont.

Weekend Worstoff 71

Posted on September 5, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Attempting to post from the iPhone. As I’m not at home to do it. I’m hoping you are seeing a pic of the Howling Wolves factory. Also, as the gory season ends for local teams, what sort of losers would put their heads in these holes? I couldn’t believe there was resistance to my linking lame entertainment to The Dockers inthe show on Thursday. Seriously? People would rather watch Dockers than London Court Dragon? Bullshit.

Bellvue Bitch Slap

Posted on September 4, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Thanks to the people who came to the live show last night. I think it can be called a sucess. Who wouldn’t laugh at a cuntkini though? Here is an image from the show. It’s Bellvue. It’s got to be modern art right? Thanks to Mark0.
