Weekend Worstoff 6

Posted on May 17, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Four international worsts for Weekend Worstoff 6. Firstly a shot I took in Beijing. Don’t laugh, the Folk Music Club is in even worse shape.

Mazarina sent in a nice worst from her trip to the Himalayas. I came for the Gaylord, I stayed for the kwality.

And here’s my favourite shop in New Zealand. I really wanted that very embarrassed looking tiger, but I believe there might have been customs problems at Perth Airport. There’s also a wallaby holding a tray on the right.

And Glenn sent in this shot of the Perth Pyramid. It seems to be designed to fool people into thinking they are about to enter The Louvre. Come to think of it, the Louvre version is pretty bad too.

And finally, from the search results this week.

finish brothels – heath ledger kitten – wax arse – disabled sex – big norks – busty cats – uncircumcised surprise – perth sluts.

Finish brothel. No finish and it’s just a massage I think. Or is it Finnish?

Have a good weekend worsters.

Bin It

Posted on May 16, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Why is Michael Jackson speaking out against litter at Cottesloe? Or is he just teh garbage? It could also be a merman. Wouldn’t that eye make-up also pollute?

Pacific Solution

Posted on May 15, 2008 by AHC McDonald

I have had The Pacific Motel in Harold Street Highgate in my own photo waiting list for a long time, but since Poor Lisa also went out and shot it, I’ll use hers. She sent me this quite a while ago, and I had to avert my eyes a little from my inbox, as I still have submissions from months ago to put up.

Normally I don’t much care for the ultra naff Wanjina graffiti, (No hokusan, it doesn’t rhyme with v*gina) but this one does add something to this crap place, soon to be another vanished worst. Poorlisa says…

This is one of my favourite Hollywood Gothic sights, in Harold St Highgate, and what a perfect day to get some pictures. It looks like it’s just waiting for the day one of those soft on crime Perth judges releases Norman Bates early for good behaviour.

Jimmy and Marilyn

Posted on May 13, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Suggested by at least three people. The cake sign on Beaufort Street Inglewood. At least you can tell who they are. Seems like the wedding was in a war zone judging by Jimmy’s arm. Let’s hope this iconic sign will always remain. An island of not worst in Inglewood.

Leprechaun Vomit

Posted on May 12, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Lovely finds from Jordache at Cigarettejeans. Jordache says

The sculptures are from up at Club Capricorn, Yanchep. This wasn’t even all of them! There were at least 4 others that were the Beatles and what I am assuming was Marilyn Monroe but I think the giant breasted mermaid and Wizard of Oz quartet are enough to go on with. Also, please try and figure out what the crazy coloured face one is supposed to represent? It’s like a leprechaun vomited all over it’s face.

These are incredibly TWOP. They could have been produced by Satan himself. I think the first one might be David Bowie?

Weekend Worstoff 5

Posted on May 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Welcome to Weekend Worstoff 5. Jimbo sent this excellent guest worst from Bali. Ice Cold Piss.

Would have made a far better slogan for this Swan Lager Tray I found recently. Ice Cold Piss, Australia’s international passport to drinking pleasure.

The traditional ad from The West personals. Russian Asian hands? I can’t see a comma sorting this one out. The Asian hand gives while the Russian hand takes away?

And The Bedford Crackpot Fraternity sent in this delightful montage documenting the hair of Alannah Mctiernan. I might not have run it if she had bothered to reply to my email asking for a shot of the sniffer chair.

I have also added the answers to the location of The 8 arses of WA sculpture.

Mat Finish

Posted on May 9, 2008 by AHC McDonald

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them towards a Barina Berlina.

It’s no good, we can still see it’s a Holden. Been a while since we’ve had a carpet. Baby leopard. Good choice.

Bad Gin 2

Posted on May 8, 2008 by AHC McDonald

I should have had more faith in TWOP readers. Discussing an idiotic exchange between Troy Buswell and The National’s Grant Woodhams in Parliament, I began musing on what could have happened to the seemingly slightly lefty Mr Woodhams to turn him down the path to being a National Party member. I vaguely remembered that I saw a photo of him wearing a shirt with a Bundy bottle bong on it, but despaired of finding it. Minutes later David “Rottobloggo, & Fucking Outrage” Cohen found the shot from the West in 1988.

Now we know what rotted Grants brain to the extent of becoming a member of Teh Nationals. Bundy and Bongs. Extreme kudos to DC.

Grant Woodhams

grant wodhamsMr Woodhams now.

Creamed Crab

Posted on May 8, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Creamed Crab would seem so very wrong if it wasn’t brought to you by ABBA. Creamed Crab by Bucks Fizz just wouldn’t sound appetising. The serving sugestion is to squeeze it out like a pallid dog turd. Thanks to Ljuke for snapping this at IKEA. Do you have to reassemble the crab yourself at home?
