Hi!



Yes, there's a lot to wonder about in this listing Jason found. So many, many bad photo choices. But my eye is caught by those blue kegs. What do they contain? Blue paint? Is this where the Blue Man Group hangs out, where they stockpile their spare paint? Somehow I pictured something more glamorous for them... but what do I know about showbiz? (Answer: bupkis.)

Out where everyone can see you, oh, the shame...



Monica found Chair either dead or passed out drunk. Is it time for an intervention? We could trick Chair into going to the local garden supply store...

I dialed 911 a long time ago / Don't you see... oh, wait, nevermind, there they are.


No, no, it's a sign of a good block to live on. Really. All the best neighborhoods have police vans parked throughout them.

Wahooo!


Thanks to Allison for this exciting listing! Yeah! Let's go buy a house! A house that looks oddly like a motel! But who am I to judge? My house looks oddly like a thrift store! So... go, househunters!

Victorian Victorian



Christine found this classy B&B. Nothing says "worth almost a million bucks" like porn on the walls!

Plus we have an old friend dropping by. Perhaps the chair had made a reservation for the B&B, and wasn't notified about the changes:

Maybe it's a fire breaking out


Is that a light under the sink, so you can really see the crud? Why is there a cord going into the sink? Do you feel like buying the house after seeing this photo? Yes, I know you do.

The floor mats, they do nothing


There seems to be an industrial-strength hallway runner here... protecting the carpet? From... from... from what, exactly? And for what optimistic reason?

Look away, it's hideous



Congratulations, Anna! You have found the Most Foul Toilet Ever Featured in a Real Estate Listing! Your prize is one fuzzy toilet-seat cover (pick it up in Irvington at your leisure).


MLS 2506859, since I can't get a link that works. But you might be happier that way, really.

Well, hi


Well, hi! So you're the new owner, huh? Great, great. Look, I'm in the habit of having a barbeque here every weekend. You don't mind if I continue, do you? Do you? 'Cause yeah, technically I came with the house. Didn't you notice I was in the listing? Why else would be be in the listing, if I weren't included?

(Found by Anna, who points out that it comes on 37 acres of land. That's quite a deal, given the current real estate market.)

Considering a career change? A new hobby?


Another of Anna's finds. Is this... a dental office?


Why yes, I believe it is. One the listing doesn't mention. One I don't think I'll be going to as a patient any time soon, thank you.

SOON I WILL RULE THE BASEMENT

Found by Anna, who says she can't even tell what it's of. I don't know why not -- it's clearly two robots (one shooting flames) fighting each other.

An alien invasion, I think

Tentacles!


Tentacles everywhere!



(Thanks to Julia for the bottom two tentacles.)

Not really the look we're doing this year


Found by Anna, who says "'In need of updating?' You had me at picture number three!" She's easily swayed -- I didn't fall in love until picture number seven:


Yup, an update. That's all it needs.

Not really my style.



It's okay to sell fixers -- but you really shouldn't call them "recently remodeled with newer kitchen and bath" if this is how they look. (Perhaps this shows the "termite damage in basement sill plates"?)
