“Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters.” Hemmingway – The Sun also Rises
Yeah I can dig it. I don’t know what it means, but I can dig it. The Veronicas are Falangists? I can’t believe it. Not really much excuse for it now Franco is gone. Crushing of unions and Communists may make a comeback I suppose. I’m sure Charlotte’s Web were never Falangists. Thxs Slaadi.
Why am I seeing this Worst in the Western Patriot first? Frank Calabrese, are we not brothers? Did not my wolves suckle you at birth? The Patriot brings to light the WA Govt Cabinet ministers’ website. A site that gives risible a bad name. Look at all of them. Yes Norman Moore is underwater. Brendon Grylls is grainier than a ploughed field. And as Teh Patriot points out, Terry Waldron “relaxing on the beach” is champagne comedy. Don’t let this happen again.
Updates. Air New Zealand responds. See comments.
It really stuck in my craw to have to refresh the Watoday site several times to copy this ad, especially since it probably represented most of their hits for the year, but this shall not stand! This is misrepresentation from Air New Zealand. They seem to be implying that they don’t have Great White shark attacks in New Zealand, however from From the encyclopaedia of NZ te Ara comes this…
“New Zealand has a relatively high incidence of shark attacks. (High, mind you, TLA)
&
Great white sharks have been responsible for most of the 11 fatal attacks in New Zealand where the shark has been identified. ”
So their great whites actually look like man eating monsters rather than glasses of wine. If you were an Aussie tourist who went for a dip and was mauled, you’d be spewing. I have contacted the airline to have this corrected.
OK, I might have to concede the snakes and crocs.
I haven’t posted this before, because my shot from the bus window was tres blurry. I have been meaning to go back to bolster the category “Shithouse doors.” But Martin makes such a strong case for its worstness, that I put it up anyway. Martin does have some TWOP credit anyhow, as he is the one who dubbed Lisa Scaffidi She-Ra.He’s got some artisitics to view here too. Condor is on Adelaide Terrace.
To make up for the blurry one, I have added another metal door I took a shot of. The Scotsman obviously there to deter anyone collecting money for charity. Unabridged, Martin says,
Have you seen the new door, the new FRONT door, of the Condor apartment development?
Probably not, because you have not turned inside out trying to solve the confronting, baffling puzzle that this door embodies. I am bleeding profusely whilst writing this message.
As the entry statement to a jillion dollars worth of glitzy new apartments, you would think that the developer would employ someone other than their year 8 metal-work class taking nephew to build the door.
I’m assuming that’s who made it, what since it looks like a poster for a high school biology project made by a kid who knew he would fail biology anyway, so he spent most of biology project time on his metalwork exam piece. Which he also failed.
Man, is this kid stupid.
The designer attempts to evoke the soaring spirit of the majestic Condor with the two-line-squiggle which is universal shorthand for ‘seagulls’. Brilliant! And the way the door handle evokes the qualities of a squirt of bird shit frozen in flight – inspired!
This door – and excuse me, I have lost of feelings about this door – breaks every design rule in existence. There is no symmetry, no margins, there is no contrast or even cohesion in the choice of materials. Brass and silver? Well, they’re both metals so WHY NOT.
Why not, indeed. This development has been going for ever, there are hundreds of people dying to move in but it doesn’t appear like it will ever get finished. So why the rush on this fucking awful door? (Another image by someone else here)
Yeah. So what you’re saying is that it’s a crap door right? And Martin, I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t call her She-Ra these days.
This from Garry. Seen in Fremantle. Looks like they’ve got John Singleton in to do their marketing. Awful sign. One last one for Easter.
Talking about Jesus jockeys, I saw this plate in a shop. The building is still there in Beaufort Street. All very worthy, but wouldn’t a building in this position be better put to use as an instant print shop, or one of Chas Hopkin’s office furniture outlets? The plate looks nice. Lose the Lord and something might still be made of the place.
Nail some sense into him...
pass the plate
Jane: What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! Give me those pictures. You can’t photograph people like that.
Thomas: Who says I can’t? I’m only doing my job. Some people are bullfighters, some people are politicians. I’m a photographer. Blowup 1966
Haven’t had a mannequin on a house for a while. She’s no Dennis Lillee. The blowup shows an odd creature. What’s the deal with the face? And the hair?
Because so many people will be driving back past this today, here is the Mandurah train sculpture. (I hope I haven’t put this up before). I don’t think it’s soooooo bad. Worse is the fact that the train doesn’t go all the way into Mandurah. The thought of having to queue for a bus at the end is enough to make me think, “Fuck it I’ll drive”. Many associate this piece with Alannah. It won’t be as noticed soon, as they have finally almost finished the bypass to bypass the Mandurah bypass, which for some reason they designed to be narrower than the original road.
And in case I have put this up before, here is a classic speller from Jane to sweeten the deal. Thanks Jane.

AND a picture of Yorkie’s son sent in by Frank. No pink hair. I’m surprised.

One older submission from Cookster who notes this insect repellant/deodorant next to the Lynx. I reckon lynx might knock a cockroach off. Floreat Forum.
Brownbook sends this terrible 6PR ad. No I don’t think it’s a mistake. Remember the ad where one of these clowns was eating vegemite, the other caviar, & one had a tuxedo the other a t shirt? They were trying to set up this odd couple thing, but if you ever listen to the show, they were both equally moronic.
Another old submission from Cookster. This is at the housing development at Hollywood High schoool site. it wouldn’t be that bad except why is the woman wearing a lightshade?
And one more to complement our truck shots the other day. I think this was from Outrage??
Worst well worsting devils.
Another from Geof V who brought us the slightly controversial cunt condom dispenser. This is also from Halls Creek. Nice to see a business that revels in its worst, no?
On another point, Jesus is already falling for the third time, and no-one has sent me any Easter material. What’s the deal?
