Grillin' the George Foreman Grill


Ang found this listing, which reminds her "of picture games from old newspapers where you count the items in a scene that are out of place." Me, I think it's more like a "spot the differences" puzzle from the Sunday comics. So... can you tell what's missing in the photo below?


(Note: the second photo is Photoshopped, by me.)

Cousin Itt, dressed for summer


Cousin Itt and his (her?) family has found a home -- in Utah, of all places! Thanks to Anne for the good news.

Alien invasion

Aiieee! Look out! Aliens have invaded this ranch, found by Mary the Nebraska Realtor! Giant purple aliens!

But wait... it's okay. I see their spaceship is taking off. Their tiny, tiny spaceship. Phew!

Plaster falling on an open fire...



Alan found this listing. This photo is captioned "stone fireplace in the living area" -- because yes, the first thing your drawn to is the lovely stone fireplace. I don't know if you even noticed, but the ceiling needs some work. No, really! Look up! C'mon, stop looking at the stone fireplace for just one sec and look at the ceiling.

Those naughty, naughty cushions



Please listen to this music while looking at the photo above:

Tony Evans Singers

...and then please worry for a moment or two about my sanity.

Hate getting mail? This is the house for you!



This house seems to have a huge number of doors. Doors and mirrors. Sometimes mirrored doors. Or maybe doored mirrors.

It also is "missing the kitchen," according to the listing. I've lost mittens, I've lost library books, but I've never lost an entire room. Yet. But wait! I found it!


Ta dah! I wonder if there's a finder's fee?

Goat not included


This looks like a perfectly normal, pleasant house... and then there's this room. I think the real estate agent is trying to appeal to suburban Satanists who want a place to kick back and watch TV. Or maybe the intended buyer is a rotisserie chicken who misses the supermarket...
