Maybe a Wii Fit would be more appropriate

"Just you wait. As soon as I figure out how to lift weights with no opposable thumbs, I'm going to get so strong. And then I'll burst out of here. Watch out, Des Moines!"

A doomed romance


"But I love you, Stove! Why won't you come to my soft embrace?"

"It will never work, Sofa. I'm made of metal and my only goal in life is to get really hot. You're made of some weird fabric and highly flammable. I'm so sorry, but you have to go."

"4 Bedroom Rambler and 1 Bath - Needs some TLC"



...previous tenant was a giant pitcher of Kool-Aid.


The Kool-Aid isn't from the listing -- it's just illustrating the only explanation I can think of for that doorway.

Wood paneling, with wood paneling accents


I can see the appeal of having a room like this. I really can. I'm not sure why anyone needs two dartboards (dart machines?), and there's an antelope or something sticking its head through the wall, and that's a weird TV, but a game room really would be great. But -- as always -- we must ask: does this make the house more attractive to buyers? Was including this photo in the listing a good idea?

Um.

Shh! Shhhhh!



Man, it's tough to play hide and seek when you're an armchair.

P.S. "This home is close to the Casino and COULD be in their growth path." But, you know, maybe it isn't. And is being in a casino's growth path really such a bad thing? I have no idea what a "growth path" is. Maybe it's something nice.

Want to buy a doublewide, pilgrim?


Is this a thing? A thing that real estate agents do? A "this random image will seal the deal" thing? I do not know.

(Found by Megan, who wonders if he's included.)

Ohhhhhhh...


Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
