I'm detecting a pattern

The chances of anyone else making sense out of this are slim, but I swear, when I saw this photo:



...the first thing I thought of was Fashion Plates.



I've gone insane, haven't I.

(Listing found by Stacy. Fashion Plates found on eBay, and you wouldn't believe how much they go for.)

Which definition of "hopefully" are you using here?

"Hopefully trash will be removed soon (awaiting approval from seller)." I'm going to start using that as my excuse, too.

Does it come with a dock? Um... do you want one?

Dock!


No dock!


Perhaps it's a submersible dock. That seems like a bit of a design flaw to me, but what do I know about docks?

Adventures in Real Estate

Ho hum, just taking photos for the listing:


And the other side...




Oh crap, someone's coming, quick, across the street, run!



Oh no, they're going into the house:


Well, maybe we can get a photo of the side:


Or the garage:


Eek! They saw us! Run, run, run!

Pacer!

Oh, good. I was looking for a house that came with... stuff. Like, a bike pump, great. Yeah, and a half-dead plant, perfect. And a... wagon? And a... basket?

Okay, not really. But there's one thing that isn't in the listing itself -- it's in the Google Street View of the house -- that I really do want.

Look!

A Pacer!

A real live Pacer!

As a former Pinto-owner, I say: hellooo, Pacer!



UPDATE: I'm wrong. It's not a Pacer. This house is useless.

Huh?

This is here purely for the "huh?"ness of it. It appears to be a counter with a stovetop and sink -- okay, I've got that -- but then is there another counter coming straight out of the stovetop?

When they say "Gothic," they mean "Gothic"

It's... it's... it's a grave, isn't it? Dawn found this listing, and she thinks it is, too. The house was built in 1843, so it does seem possible.

Getting the defunct swimming pool out of our back yard was a real pain. What's it like getting a grave out? Or do you just leave it, even though your kids will have tea parties on it when they're little and then, when they're adolescents, go out there to smoke cloves?

Maybe the dead like clove cigarettes. And tea parties. I do not know.
