For that "briefly not homeless" feeling

Come, now. Is there any real estate market where abandoned shopping carts are desirable features? Especially ones inside?

We like sinks.

Sinks! Lots of sinks! We like sinks. This person doesn't like sinks, but we do. Sinks!

"I don't know what was in the fridge that would scare someone out of his shoes, but apparently it walked off on its own," writes Sue. "Either that or the Invisible Man is having an invisible snack."

Address: 2600 Atari Ave.

Roy found this house, and points out how similar the linoleum is to a certain childhood pastime... man, I used to be good at this.

Space Invaders made by Neave Games

P.S. This one doesn't really work in an RSS feeder, sorry.

Perhaps it's computer-generated?

What it it about this house -- found by Kate -- that's so disturbing? The doll, the color, the pattern, the weird angles, the way that it looks like a dollhouse from 1973? I do not know.

I'm really starting to wonder about New Zealand

Ebony, who found this listing, lives in New Zealand -- so I guess we can presume she knows what normal listings there are like, and that they don't usually contain tortoises. Which is a shame, really, because it would be something people could say about New Zealand, something that didn't have to do with Lord of the Rings or sheep.

Arrrrrgh! Rar! Rrrrrr!

Everybody run for your lives! Amy has found out that the house is under attack! AAAAAHHHH SAVE YOURSELVES AAahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Dah dah dah-dah, dah DAH dah daaahhhhh

Awww! Stefany found this happy group. Do they come with the house? No? Oh. Then WHY ARE THEY IN THE LISTING WHY WHY WHY WHY

*headdesk*

The mold comes, on little cat feet.

Shhh. Shhhh. It's us, the mold spores. We're sneaking into the room. Shhhh don't tell anyone we're here shhhhhh Jo found us shhhhh

Actually, it'd be quite weird in New Zealand as well

Megan in NZ left a link to this listing in a comment, but I just had to stick it up front. The homeowner seems to be an exhibitionist, and it's good to have goals.

candles + roses + TP = romance

These big bubbling bathtubs are supposed to be relaxing and romantic, right? Unfortunately, this photo -- with a cat licking its haunch -- isn't quite doing the job.

Fortunately, they had a second, more sensual photo to use. Ohhh yeah... it's business time.

Enviro-house

There's a slight chance that the house in this listing -- found by Karen on Photoshop Disasters -- has been Photoshopped. Or maybe the owners just really like lawns and really hate cars.

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:



...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...

FSBO and here they are

Wave "hello" to the owners! Hi! Here they are! And wave at Anne, who found the listing! Now back to waving at the owners!
