Several emotional, angry, salacious, nay rebarbative readers (I just like saying rebarbative) have urged me to include the Burswood Casino in a post. Unfortunately these rebarbarinos never go down and take a photo themselves. In any case, those criticising burswood should behold the Christchurch Casino, which manages to include a hanging testicle motif in its hideous exterior. And for those who may think that the testicles are rendered in granite. It’s concrete aggregate.
This one disturbs like it’s 1999. I knew Lathlain would be the epicentre of this type of thing. I can get behind a Swingers Club in Maddington, but creating lustreware dolphin cups in Lathlain? Not on my watch. And I seem to be running out of blowhole teasers. Blowhole, blowhole, blowhole, blowhole. From Bento. I likes it. I might even take the course.
This was a premature OZ Day celebration from Bobby of Maylands, but I hope to have some more shots from the celebrations. Anyone who got shots of vomiting, fighting, or outdoor copulation, send them in, even if involves you. I like the no stopping in this one. That’s the true Australian spirit, drink then defy authority.
Rampant nationalism
Bobby of M says,
hello worst of perthers,
i snapped this picture of a gent in east perth near the commonwealth bank who must have been a bit tired and needed a lie down. i think it may have had something to do with the can of fizzy drink that was resting between his legs. maybe he was diabetic, and was having a hypoglycemic episode, as a result of too much fizzy drink.
either way, i think it’s a worst.
Thanks B.
Sorry not much of a post today. I believe my Howling Wolves wine was heavily spiked with octopus last night, so I was disinclined to get in front of the computer. I vaguely remember getting the inside oil on new West editor race, but that dosed wolves has has rendered my memory a little hazy. Then wordpress was disinclined to upload pictures. Having a good Australia Day? Got one of these hideous car flags from The West? Do we still have car red noses? That would make a nice combination. Several people wrote in to complain about these flags, but none of them sent a good picture of one.
As usual some Worsts from the wider world. Meccano saw these embryos with erections in a park in Footscray Melbourne. How very odd and very worst.
Laser has also brought back some Shocking Asia from his recent China trip. This one from Shanghai. That is nice, although Laser it traditional for worst taking that you take a shot up the dress for this type of thing. Reminds a little of Eliza on The Swan except this statue has concrete clothes.
And to continue the statitular theme, here is a memorial to New Zealand Labour leader Henry Holland. Did he specifically ask that his grave be adorned with arses and boozies? I suppose Labor parties are the same the world over. Amazing that he was able to carry on the fight against tyranny and oppression (and even unhappiness) with those genitals, but hey wasn’t an Australian Labor leader Bob Hawke also hung like a cashew?
And an Engrish from Laser. Mmmmm.
Now Cookster is always trawling for links to The Perth Files, seeking to mould the city (and Freo) to his own sick metrocentric, beaver damming, round-housing, cork soaking agenda. “Improve the city”, “the good of the people” blah blah blah. It just makes you sick. But the man can get a nice worst from time to time. Who can forget Brian Burke at McDonalds, the slide of which is still sitting in an envelope next to me, but which for some reason I don’t mail back to him, despite having both a stamp and his address? Here’s one he got in Osborne Park, near a worst that has featured previously, but now can’t find.(Abandoned Mexican and Chineser restaurants in Scarb Beach road.) Oh, here it is.
There’s now been over 500 posts , with about 700 original Perth photos so far. No surprise I can’t find it. No wonder I’m being archived by the State library. Can the label “National Treasure” be far off? Anyhoo, Cookster braved a fully worked Daihatsu Charade to get this. I did have doubts though. Is this graffiti bad or bad/good? I wish this had been Freo, so I could have titled it The Hunch Drunk Near Notre Dame.
“We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.”
Goethe
Boy that Goethe really knows his shit doesn’t he? He could have been writing specifically about this worst. Driver “Ms. R” has tried to disguise a broken wing mirror with a piece of aluminium foil, hoping that the reflective nature of the foil will deceive traffic cops as to the true nature of the mirror’s state. You don’t have a very high opinion of our police do you R? At least try and cover the whole thing. What are you going to say if pulled up? “That’s how it came from the factory officer”? I noticed the tyres were a little balding too. You might want to patch them up with some liquorice.

Here’s the call to West Australian Staff to put up their hands for editor, as reported in The Content Makers. Can I say what a fucking outrage it is that I didn’t get this before Crikey Blogs from MEEAA mouthpiece David Fucking Outrage Cohen. Why am I paying all the kickbacks if I’m reading this second hand from Madge Simons? Anyhow, here’s the call to staff who “think they have what it takes” to be West editor. There are numerous TWOP commenters who have the “Kahunas” to take it on. Send CV NOW.
Dear All,
Bob Cronin has urged staff who believe they are up to the task to apply for the vacant editor’s position.
I also encourage our people to apply for the job if they think they have got what it takes.
We have engaged some outside help to assist in the recruitment and selection process.
If you want to throw your hat in the ring, in the first instance please send your CV to Company Secretary, Peter Bryant, as soon as possible.
Regards,
Chris Wharton
Chief Executive Officer

I used to post a lot of crap Perth logos on The Worst of Perth. I stopped when the hoped for call to address the Graphic Design Association never arrived. What’s the deal with that? They think they’re better than me?
But here’s two submissions, one from Bento (yes The Good riddance Sattler’s old Mum Bento) where he righteously asks. “Wot fuck dis shit?” Actually Bento said, “It seems to be a half deflated soccer ball, in the shape of Western Australia, wearing a hat, and shouting at Melbourne. What the fuck is that all about?”
Put it back into the shed
Actually Bento, it looks like a half deflated socer ball sucking off South Australia. (Maybe it’s this sort of talk that holds back the deep embossed, ultra matte, die cut, selective varnished, foiled graphic design Association invite ?) Who knows?
And here’s some graphic design from ManOfaSon who questions the power of a nipple to break through several layers of clothing including a She-Ra style power jacket. Anyone guessing a male graphic designer? Who’s doing Transperth?
Mr. Melon, your wife
was just showing us her Klimt.
You too, huh? She’s showin’ it
to everybody.
– She’s very proud of it.
– I’m proud of mine, too, but I don’t wave it around
at parties.
– Rodney Dangerfield, Back to School
Matt says… I saw this wandering through Freo on the weekend and knew I had to share with TWOP. I think I can see the face of Jesus in it, what do you think?
