Have you ever looked at the wallpaper? I mean, really looked at the wallpaper?

Another Dutch find of Sue's. I would make a joke about hallucinogens, but my mom reads this blog. (Everyone, wave hello to my mom!)

My childhood nightmares were TRUE

Annie found this truly terrifying basement. Yes, that's a basement. To be fair, the listing does say that there's a "BASEMENT FULL OF WATER." And look -- there it is! So we'll have to find something else to pick on... like... um... this!


No, never mind, the listing also says that "BASKET BALL COURT FL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED."

Wait.

What?

Basketball court?

What kind of a house is this? Let's look at the Google street view:

Huh.

Avert your eyes, children!

I don't care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes. But when people take photos of these activities and post them to the Internet where any child could see -- why, that's just going too far, darn it.

(Found by househunter Megan.)

Maybe you're not squinting hard enough

Found by Ellen, who says it's a "Magic Eye Poster, Real Estate Edition." The thing is, I've been to Sunnyside. It really looks like that.

The trouble with listings

Eeek! It's a giant Tribble! Power up the transporter!

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."
