Wide Roller

Posted on February 19, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Nice one from Kwality seen at Flinders Square, AKA Dog Swamp. I had heard stories about people with expensive cars parking between two bays to protect their precious paintwork from yobs opening their doors, but had never seen it until now. Why would you take your Roller to Dog Swamp anyway? I’m trying to think up some innocent explanation. Were there other cars badly parked that forced them to park this way? It doesn’t look good. In any case, Kwality let their trolley bang into it a few times, whether they were trying to be an arsehole or not.

Jewie?

Posted on February 18, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Snapper or Dhufish? Did I dream it, or were we talking about Wembley ware on this site the other day? To be found in Fremantle. This one for all the Fishwrecked and Breammaster readers.

Shame Grilled

Posted on February 17, 2009 by AHC McDonald

As I was preparing yesterday’s Stirling Balcatta post, Slanderer, who we hear from far too seldom was sending a pic from directly across the road. What are we to make of this? Maccas flying at half mast for Victorian bushfires, while local member Michael Keenan proudly shows his whole pole? (background). Are we to chastise Maccas for inappropriate half masting, or do we chide Keenan for not following suit? I suppose it is good that it wasn’t Hungry Jacks (Burger King). Flame grilled meat might have appeared a little outre.flagburger

Crisco Inferno

Posted on February 16, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Other worst business.

————————————————

Tod Johnston for me falls into the same category as Adrian Barich. A decent enough bloke who’s out and about doing lots of stuff. Yes the stuff he does is usually terrible, but he’s doing it. His blog however is so bad that it does deserve its own post. His spelling is worse than mine, the design is beyond terrible, and he goes all half arsed on our arses on several topics.

——————————————

Also, news just in that Julie “The Frying Pan” Bishop has been demoted. The smartest dumbarse in politics no longer the shadow moneybags.

——————————————

A reader asks, “What the fuck happened to the Beaufort Street Bloggers? It should be condemned as a worst that they get a great blog going and then stop posting before they reach the end of the street!” yes, reader, so true. the front page comes up blank for me. Has the credit crunch hit these formerly cashed up weekly diners?.

——————————————-

Speaking of restaurants, the Cookster was supposed to be posting the Cohen rant that helped earn The Rose and Crown a shit review from Broadfield in The West, which probably cost the place thousands of dollars in cancellations. Wherefore art the wince-words  Cookster?

There is a hilarious review from Broaders in Sat’s rag, which gives C restaurant the panning of a lifetime. He even takes one of the scallops away to be analysed! If you can view a free copy of the weekend paper, it’s very funny.

Egged

I would spit on this car for its hideous graphics, but would I take the trouble to punish it with a carton of free range? Someone did. Stirling.

Weekend Worstoff 43

Posted on February 14, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Happy Worst Valentine. How better to celebrate than with a heart shaped meat? Thanks Poorest lisa.

Meccano sends this Melbourne /queensland worst. I like it. That doll head won’t cut up pedestrians so much.

And Matthew Turner sends this hideous vehicle.

week43car

From Fucking Outrage Cohen, this shot from Borders. So that would make Andre the cheeseburger right?

And Sabian sends this, which someone else sent me months ago, but I can’t find. The juxtaposition just seems, I’m not sure.

Mt Dudmore

Posted on February 13, 2009 by AHC McDonald

…and I can see clearly
from my diamond eyes,
I’m going to the mountain with the Property Council
no-one will accept all of me
so the Fire…will stop The Gun Club

Astonishing in concept and ineptitude, even for free graphic design, this is perhaps the worst example I have ever seen. If you have an event with 3 speakers, why choose a design that requires 4 heads? Or is Roosevelt expected to speak as well? It’s like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, with Brett, Luke, Ian – AND pestilence.

Then having chosen the design why paste square pics with no attempt to make them fit? And then go in a new direction, 3 Wise Men that actually fits the number of your participants?  Bento found this one, but was not sure if it was worst worthy. You bet you boiled cuntkini it is Bento. (BTW phrases Boiled cuntkini, and beaver damming (c) Cookster.)

This is the Andre Rieu of Graphic design.

I’d like to see some reps from the Australian Graphic design Association take part in the question and answer session.  “Why weren’t  comic sans and papyrus fonts used on alternate lines?” “Brett Wilkins’ chin? Why?” “Why didn’t you shift Ian Armstrong to the right so he could have had Lincoln’s beard?” “My eyes! Why have you soiled my eyes?” “What’s my Subi pied a terre worth?”

It is, of course, being held at the temple of worst The Hyatt. Well of course it is.

Free Gay Piano! (No tyre kickers)

Posted on February 12, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Men, do you ever find yourself feeling just a little too heterosexual? Are you losing touch with your inner Elton John? In that case a perspex grand piano is for you. It is available for free if you’ll pick it up from North Perth. It used to be the piano for Mulberry Farm reception centre, and so you may shudder with revulsion at the thought of how much Billy Joel has been played on it. (I’m betting there are readers who have tied the knot to its sounds). It does need some work, but could be restored to (albeit effeminate) glory. In any case  it would also make a fantastic esky if filled with ice. I’m suggesting setting fire to it while playing The Piano Man and posting the event on youtube. I’m sure those planks of perspex would send a plume of toxic smoke a mile high. At the bottom is how it would look restored. It does have all the pieces and  disassembles to some extent. if you are interested, email me (perthworst@hotmail.com ) and I’ll pass your details on. Remember, no tyre kickers. Perhaps I should have offered it as some kind of prize?

Breaking worst news. It’s been taken!

Westworld

Posted on February 10, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Why don’t you make arrangements to take our hovercraft to Medieval World, Roman World and Westworld. Contact us today, or see your travel agent. Boy, have we got a vacation for you. Westworld

Can I just say, wha? Young master worst watching a wild west version of Spongebob, reminded me I had snapped this astounding sight in Fremantle. Why has no-one alerted me to this …thing on the streets? And I thought the Melbourne restaurant tram was a bit embarrassing. There better be damper on the menu. And loin of witchetty grub. Actually there’s not. Menu is disconnected with the theme. Here’s the menu.

Just today I realised that so many good shots are coming in that I could actually stop using my own pics, and still be lord of original content creation. Obviously I still have to “de-wince” a lot of your text, but your eye for visual worsts is becoming sharp. Damn sharp. Saying that however, I thought I better make an effort myself occasionally.
