Don't bother me, I'm working


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

A circus tent of one's own



It's actually the plywood that confuses me most about this photo. What's there? How could you have such a vision, but then not bother to do the final two square feet? Or wait, maybe it's the phone books that throw me off...

According to the listing, this is a "Napolean inspired tent bedroom." Okay.

No, really, build your own home


Roy found this delightful home. I'm cheating, because the listing makes it clear that the house is under construction -- but I cannot resist the optimistic "Lounge and Kitchen."

Sincerely,
The Queen of Sheba

Build your own home


Mary the Nebraska Realtor found this... um... pile of bricks. Yay?

"$53000 22 Hours 15 minutes Left On This Wholesale Price"


Hi! Um... I was just thinking of... you know... buying your house. Is that okay?

(Found by Mallory.)

For that homey "storage locker" feeling



This fixer looks like it could be quite nice -- but the seller seems to be going out of his way to show off its less desirable qualities. Unless, of course, these are actually the desirable qualities...

Found by Molly.

P.S. Why does this crack me up? "Centrally located and a 5 minute walk to the Town Marina, Library, K-12 school, Grocery store, gas station, Post Office and Canada."

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.

(We have Whitney to thank for finding this "Unique Yard Bence Constructed of Concrete.")

Looking for a house in Gotham City?



Now you're just messing with me.

More tentacles!



Is it tentacles in this photo Kelly found? Or is it, as she feared, a small child's legs dangling through the ceiling? There's only one way to find out: someone buy the house and report back, okay?

What'cha lookin' at?



The beer can on the toilet tank's a nice touch, but it's the lamp that really sets my mind wandering (and then running away, screaming).

(Found by Anna.)

There's been a terrible accident

Those poor deer! How did they break through the wall? And why isn't someone helping push them back out again?

(Found by Beth.)

What? They're dead, so what's the problem?

An anonymous poster pointed out I'd missed this in the WHEE BRRRONG BING BOONG BANG (or whatever I called it in a pathetic attempt to sound like a dial-up modem) post below. It's the kitchen. With the fogger still on the floor. Surrounded by dead bugs. At least I presume they're dead...

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.)

3 BEDS, 2.5 BATHS, VIEW OF NUCLEAR PLANT



This house, with its large lot and new cabinets, looks like it would be just fine... if it weren't for the giant exploding ball of plasma outside.

(I am intrigued by the photo below, but these people are practically my neighbors and I probably shouldn't say anything in case I run into them.)

WHEEEE ooooh kjjjjj BING BING BING BING



Shame on both of you -- you're certainly old enough to know better! That's it, no more going online without supervision. You can come down when you're willing to behave.

Something fishy going on here



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

Not just clogs and windmills


This just goes to show what an ignoramus I can be. Who knew that voodoo rooms are standard in Holland?

(Found by Sue.)

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.)

Another fish story



Mmm, sorry, no. I was going to buy the house, but the dead fish are just too small.

(Found by Dawn. If there are problems with the link, the MLS number is 68077.)
