Such a poignant time of year: autumn, when the pants prepare to fly south for the winter. Even these domesticated pants are trying to get out the window to join their wedge. Honk! Honk!

Loveliest comment, by mag, needs to be seen in context…

Copy & paste this:
What the…?! Maybe they hung them in the window like that to air out the crotches? In which case, ewww!
There are some in the bedroom, too. I really have no idea what’s going on here.
Kewl! Window thongs! French cut no less.

What.
There has to be some explination for the pants in the windows. I gotta know. Why. Why? Im very tempted to try and locate the agent and ask them. Really. I gotta know.
“Hmmm. I don’t have any curtains, but I want something in the window for a little extra panache… a sheet or a towel would just be tacky, so I won’t do that.”
I just can’t imagine what DOES go through folks’ heads when they “dress” their houses for these pictures. It looks like there’s even a Realtor™ involved here. The hosting real estate site says…
“In a down market, you need an expert who knows how to market your house, identify overpriced homes, negotiate with reluctant home sellers, and find bargains. We’ve interviewed and selected only the best local experts.”
The extremely rare and endangered species; the black corduroy bat. Feeding exclusively on lint and hairballs when it can find them, the black corduroy bat sleeps during day with a preference for hanging upside down beside windows, only to become active at night when it cannot be seen. It prefers to live in human populated areas where food is easy to come by. Black corduroy bats are an endangered species and may not be disturbed in any way.
Its energy efficient drying.
Note that Chair is standing guard in the front porch to make sure the domesticated Levis don’t escape. He knows they wouldn’t survive in the wild.
Actually, some of those don’t necessarily look like pants, just pieces of cloth. But the one on the left in this picture definitely does. I have no idea what that’s about.
Chair has a stack of cinder blocks to throw at thieves and people who mock pant-curtains. Look out
(Hi Chair, we love you, please do not hurt us!)
I’ve been refreshing this thread all morning, waiting for someone to explain why there are PANTS ON THE WINDOWS!
It wouldn’t be so confusing, except that someone has obviously decorated that room with (her idea of) great care. Note the Gators throw carefully tucked under the pillows, and the matched set of gold etchings (purchased no doubt from Fingerhut with an easy monthly payment plan).
Here’s the only thing I’ve come up with: when the windows are open, the homeowner is annoyed by the way the blinds slap against the window frame. But for privacy reasons she doesn’t want to pull the blinds up. So she’s using the pants to help weight the blinds down.
But… it’s PANTS on the WINDOW. This is so confusing and awful, I just want to cry!
My guess is the unit is currently a rental, and the tenant is drying their pants on the windows because they are cheap/broke, and if this blog has made anything clear to me, it’s that the people who take real estate photos just walk in and take the pictures, no matter what might be in the shot.
Maybe somebody is really, really glad she finally dieted her way out of her “fat jeans” so she’s hanging them in the window to tell the whole world.
Or not.
Ooo maybe they are very unusual halloween decorations. Or some sort of advance warning to the local fire dept, for should anyone light that wood-burner stove then the carpet underneath it is rather at risk. Chair is feeling safer outdoors.
It’s a reverse mooning! Sort of a “nooming”… Um. Yeah.
Would someone please clothes the windows?
Groan! I would say that was horrible, except I think you get “Two Thumbs Up!” for the groaner pun.
Agreed! That groaner left me panting for more.
Well, it gave me a lot of pane.
Now I know you’re pulling my leg!
Apparently punning is in Dono1′s jeans… *sKnickers*
Is it just me or are the “copper” tiles in the kitchen really, really interesting and could be really fantastic in some other place. But in that kitchen they are just out of place.
I agree, those tiles are absolutely gorgeous, and against that yellow and that dingy fridge they look absolutely hideous. Decorator gets A for effort, C for execution.
Makes you wonder what they hang out for Christmas… 8-S
ha ha oo that’s funny!
hate to disappoint you all, as the comments are great and I’ve had a good laugh at them, but they’re not pants.
They’re sort of rectangles of material hung loosely by opposite corners so they a twist in the middle. That said though they still look ridiculous and I can’t think of a single good reason to “dress” your windows that way..
Masters of decor they’re not.
If that’s so, those are the most pant-like rectangles of material hung loosely by opposite corners so they twist in the middle I have ever seen.
What? Why?
Bah! What do you expect from Florida fans, who think the height of fashion is cut off jean shorts and a mullet.
(Go Dawgs!)
I was just going to say, nothing anyone who is a Florida Gator fan does makes any damn sense anyway, why start now?? Beat me to it.
Oh, and WAR EAGLE!
That should bump Florida from the #1 spot in the BCS, right?
BTW–Roll Tide
GATOR HATERS unite!
I believe there are cup hooks on the window frames used for curtain tiebacks and they really are just hanging their pants to dry.
At least the chair is smiling…
OHMYGOSH! I can totally see that now! LOLZ
Those aren’t pants! They’re Levi Slingshots.
Load ‘em up with ammo and pelt the neighbors/Jehovah’s Witnesses/ICE/Census Takers/Girl Scouts/Trick or Treaters. The fun never ends!
Once in NYC, my neighbors got a pair of “Big and Tall” jeans that must have had about a 56-inch waist. They bunched up the top part across the top of the window, spread the legs, and made little rope tiebacks. It bore more than a passing resemblance to real curtains, and was somewhat attractive, in an ersatz-cowboy sort of way. This listing, however, not so much.
And I must say, the “Honk! Honk!” really makes the description. I missed that at first but now I can’t stop saying it.
“join their wedge”
shouldn’t that be “wedgie”?
The Gator on the sofa explains it all!!
Go Gators!
As a die-hard Gator fan, I would like to believe that this is *actually* a home rented by an FSU or Tennessee fan, who knew their decor was utterly hideous and tried to throw everyone off their track.
This is pretty funny. Thanks for sharing.
