This is Allston, not LA


Aww, Elizabeth found a listing in Allston, my old home. I appreciate the honesty. The real estate agent could've had the kitchen as the main photo, or an exterior, or really pretty much anything, but he went with the graffittied garage. Start planning your keggers now! Tell the rugby team the party's at your place!

P.S. I actually lived in Lower Allston, which is entirely different.

It's the mud creature!



Go, stroller, go! The mud creature's nearly got you! Roll as fast as your little wheels can carry you!

The mud and the blood and the beer and the "for sale" sign


Allison found this evidence of a bar brawl. Save valuable family time! Buy a house with the fight already in progress!

This Listing: Now with More White Power!


To go with yesterday's gun-toting Canadians, we have this intriguing bit of artwork in a listing. Is that a superior race swastika or a transgressive artistic statement swastika? Which would be more annoying to live with, neo-Nazis or art students?


(Listing and title by Marc. Thanks to the Longboat, too.)

"Serene small town living"


Jess found this listing. Ah, so wholesome: just two people out in the gazebo. Two people enjoying a summer day... two people armed with guns, aiming out at the neighbors (or neighbours, since they're Canadian).

Really. That's what I see. Am I wrong? And if I'm right, is that Hurley? If I'm wrong, then what are they doing -- shooting lost explorers with blow darts?

You should see how much the steering wheel costs


Yours for just $18,000: this three bed, one bath side-view mirror!

Falls down lighter! And fluffier!


OK, yes, it's a popcorn ceiling and chances are it's full of Chrysotile. I can see how you might think that was bad. (Apparently the residents don't, because they seem to still be using this room to keep your clothes in.) But look! It's self-removing! Wait long enough and it will all peel down, saving you thousands of dollars in asbestos-abatement fees!
