Go to http://www.stalkerpumps.com.au/ For all your pumping needs! Now in Canning Vale with new logo! Not sure about calendar.
I tell no lie, this 1996 calendar is still hanging in Beaufort Street Inglewood. If I was their marketing manager in 1996, I would have gone with larger breasts and lost the horse. Or larger breasts and kept the horse.Also a reminder of just how bad the WA logo was. a bad logo and a bad picture, and if I remember correctly, a bad year. Real TWOP territory.
It’s hard to know whether to admire this place for its boldness, or condemn it for its ugliness. I’m going for condemn I think, despite the alien on the roof. (The chances of anything coming from Applecross are a million to one…But still they come.) Three people have nominated this place recently, 2 in the last week, but Holmesenkerk got in first, and he actually went to the trouble of getting a picture for me. Holmesenkerk says…
This place has been underconstruction since at least 2003, even before. I figure its because no builder would want their name associated with such a joke. I’m all for pushing boundaries, but this is just a freak of construction. Even though it’s not finished, maybe they’re going to pull some magic trick out of their bag that pulls it altogether and produces something really cool. It can be found on the corner of Forbes and Tweeddale Rd in Applecross.

There is so much “The Worst of Perth” about the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, particularly the drama students, but what about the logo? Is it just me, or does it seem to be suggesting a giant swan ring-hole? Even with the most generous interpretation, two swans wrapping their arses around a seating arrangement seems like a mistake to me.

How sad that this once great fast bowler is reduced to living in a small, old flat in Beaufort Street Inglewood. I didn’t realise he was such a shortarse.

Well since we’re in city redevelopment mode at the moment, perhaps it’s time to have a nostalgic look at The Entertainment Centre, which I think is slated to be replaced by the “Spiderman’s Undies” building in the foreshore redevelopment we looked at yesterday. (And will return to I’m sure). It does have a certain something this building, although it doesn’t have the same class it had when it hosted the collapsing Miss World Universe event, The Moscow Circus, or Tiny Pinder. I’m not sure, is it to be saved or demolished? I hope saved. Still looks better than the Fed Square lookalike for next door.
Oh, yeah, shit, the foreshore. Lisa reminded me, that I hadn’t commented. 3 posts in one day! Don’t say I don’t look after all your worst needs. I thought it was a joke when Mazarina sent me the pics, and I haven’t been really able to take it all in. I was relieved to see that there is an island shaped like a swan, which I could label as risible without having to think about the rest. I had actually expected sort of interestingly developed parkland with a few interesting buildings, but wasn’t expecting a scene from Bladerunner. Also, the convention centre is still there.

On this Baby gear shop it says, “Jesus Christ is the only way to the father.” I would be tempted to try a DNA test first. And do I see an outline of one of those ultra sinister fishes on the store? Is there any way to make a shop look more evil than one of those awful fish? Another one from the horror of the Midland Station precinct.

We the people of the electorate of O’Connor say sorry for continually voting in that national disgace Wilson Tuckey… We are sorry that this knob-head we keep voting for, didn’t take the chance to not look like a wanker for once in his life…
Other people are covering this better than me, and I would prefer to have an original photo of this moron, but yes, what a wanker.
Some people have reported problems with this image loading. Have uploaded again.
Another typically surreal offering from Mr XY. This stopped me in my tracks. Why would someone wear a helmet while driving a Diahatsu Charade? And then I thought, “Why wouldn’t you wear one?” Ah, heading to Fremantle – There’s your problem. A lot of helmet wearing down that way, although they’re usually made of aluminium foil. Maybe it’s medical? Maybe it’s fashion? I prefer to think that it is a reaction to the original ad for The Charade (Early 80’s?)
Those who remember can hum the tune.
Charade, Charade, Charade. The car the computer created..!
ie it crashes every day. Yuk yuk.
Two guest submissions of houses today. One from The Intellectual Bogan, who says…
A Bavarian hunting lodge that has mysteriously been relocated to Chidlow, complete with concrete boar’s head gateposts. This place started out as a fairly inoffensive little coffee rock church, but, as you can see, has recently been overwhelmed by a strange, parasitic growth of turrets, false timber framing and pseudo medieval ironwork.
And one from Val, who nominates this house in North Perth. I can see where you’re coming from Val, but I’m sure some will like this one. Maybe a couple of Boar’s heads would do the trick?
