Oh, Chair, how could you?



What did the big rabbit ever do to you?


Found by Roy.


(Sob...)

I'll just get the kettle...



Well, sure, this garage is kind of a mess. But messy garages aren't that uncommon, so... Wait.

It's not the garage.

It's the kitchen.

Um... anyway, can I fix you a sandwich?

La-Z-Boy to the rescue!

Dum de dum de dum.... what's that, Commissioner? A chair is trouble?



I'll be right there!



Oh no -- (sob) -- I'm too late! Not Caney! WHY?????


(Found by Bob, who thinks the chair is fleeing the mess inside the house.)

At least they're trying


So this doesn't look so great (and an engine block seems like an odd thing to accent in a listing). But a peek at Google's "street view" shows that actually this is spiffed up for the sale:


So, cheers!

Don't bother me, I'm working


Ahhhh.... it's a bright and airy home office. Lovely!

Who needs a bathroom fan?



Wendy found this well-ventilated shower. It took me a minute to see what was wrong with it...

STAY SEATED.


KEEP HANDS AND ARMS INSIDE THE HOUSE. YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE THIS BENCH.

Where'd it go? How'd it get out? What was it?


On one hand: a clean bathroom, nice stager-style towels, plenty of sunlight.

On the other hand: A GIANT, OPEN CAGE.

(Found by Leah.)

Something fishy going on here



Found by Ellen, who says "these made my contacts pop out spontaneously."

HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION

HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION
by
The Chair

Here I am, on my way:


First stop: my aunt and uncle's house. We sat out back and talked (here we are with my cousin):



Next I went to visit my old college housemates:



I guess I we relived the old days a bit too well, because I woke up here:


One I'd recovered, I was off to explore the big city:


One thing I like about travel is getting to meet people who don't look like all the people back home, if you know what I mean:


They took me and my old housemates to a cool party in someone's basement -- wild times!


My old housemates were a bit freaked out, though. They're so uptight:


Finally, back home for a much-needed rest.

ET phone stager

Well? Does this make you want to buy the house?


What if it were shown from... this angle?


(I actually am very, very envious.)

Good... dog?



What is that black thing? A very short person? A dog? Something on the lens? Whatever it is, it must be desirable -- because otherwise there'd be no reason to include this photo.

A remodeling idea

Which is better? One?


Or two?

Surprisingly helpful



Yes, this picture is blurry and oddly framed. Yet from this one photo alone I know that I'm not interesting in buying this house. Thanks!

There's no way this photo is staying up...



Thanks to Seth for finding this rare architectural gem!

Solid foundation, mild fixer, good bones... oh, the bad jokes just write themselves.

UPDATE: They fixed it. But -- ha!




Rick James fans -- here's your opportunity!

Roy found this house. Stone City!


Stone City!



Stone City!

"toilet installed, not to code"





So... is one of these toilets up to code, and one not? Or is the top one "before" and the bottom one "after"?

(From the same listing as the... um... ice tea, below.)

Can I offer you a glass of ice tea?



No, really, can I? I don't know.

KEEP OUT --no, not you! You, come in.



Nothing says "Buy this house and raise your children here!" like a big KEEP OUT sign in the window.

Open door slowly



It's a toilet! No, it's a doorway! No... according to Julia, who found this listing, this door is the only way into the sun room behind the toilet.

The listing's website is tricky to navigate, so I'll just toss this in here. It's from the same house, and I think it's great. Well, so long as those are the family's kids, it's great. Otherwise it's bizarre and creepy. Either way, though, is it really a selling point?
