Lovely Listing

For Fido the giraffe

Feb. 4, 2009


From anonymous comes this listing. What it that on the front lawn? A bus stop? A prompter’s box? A phone booth? One of those lil’ shelters where the palace guards go when they just can’t hold the giggles in any longer?

Measure once, cut once

No, really, I swear, that’s the shape of the windows. And the fireplace. I did too build them the right size! You and all your fancy “Plan before you build” ideas. Pffft. I can wing it. Carpentry’s mostly about guesswork, anyway.

It's just there to add a dash of color

Jim found this one. Admittedly, there’s a fine web of CAUTION tape everywhere:

But I DON’T CARE. I’m moving there. Look! It’s a water tower! How freaking cool is that? (Answer: very!) I’m sure the CAUTION tape is just there as a decorative element.

Oh. Wait. I just noticed the toilet is in the bedroom, with nary a door between it and… well, anything else in the house. I guess I’m not as Bohemian as I thought. Pass!

I'm too sleepy to be mean

Kelly, who found this listing, and I have the same problem. We know we shouldn’t like it, and yet… isn’t it sort of wonderful? So cheery! So clean! And with that weird everything-in-focus quality so many of the Australian and New Zealandish listings have! I’m 90% certain the building doesn’t exist and this is just a computer simulation, but hey, no house is perfect.

A for effort

Feb. 1, 2009


Leaving a strange yellow puddle on the floor, that would be gross. But cleaning it up? Good for you! (But next time you might want to pick the rag up before taking the photo. Maybe. Possibly.)
