Lovely Listing

Archive for January, 2010

Included: frog. Not much else.

funny real estate frog yard

And on Sunday the real estate rested, having decided that a photo of an adorable frog statue was a good enough stand-in for a two bedroom, one bathroom, single-family house.

Loveliest  comment, by john: You’re all being closed-minded. It doesn’t say it’s a house for _people_. Look around. That’s actually a good price for a two-bedroom one-bath frog pad. In Frog dollars, of course. “Greenbacks.”

Funky House

Did you know that hardware stores often sell mis-mixed cans of housepaint for, like, 90% off? You can only get a few gallons of any one color, as each one is unique, but if you’re doing a small project it can be a great way to save money.

Huh. No idea why I thought of that.

Loveliest comment, by Luka: When you showed me color samples and I said OK I ment the first one, not all of them…

That's A Tree House

I… I… what? This is even more “other” than yesterday’s post. Looking at the listing, we see this is a… a… well, it costs $305,000.00 and is being sold by someone named “Kenn.” Other than that, all is confusion.

It, whatever it is, might be in Utah, or it might not exist yet (but then what are the photos of?). It comes with a house, but can be shipped internationally. It “comes with a 5 bedroom 2 bath home with future basement kitchen/ apartment and a 2 car garage,” but “play house/gym can be sold separately.”

Look, I can’t figure it out. Will someone please just buy this, unwrap it, and let me know what’s in the box? Thanks.

Loveliest comment, by Lauren: I know, I know! It’s an Ewok village!! Maybe you pay extra for actual Ewoks running around?

Do not disturb occupants, tempted as you may be

Jan. 27, 2010

funny real estate

“DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS,” sez the real estate agent, which is intriguing. But more intriguing is the note that the property has a pool (where?) of the “Pool Description: Other Pool” type. So it’s not the kind of pool you’re thinking of. It’s the other kind of pool.

It also has an other spa, an other roof, other dining, an other entry, and other parking, says the listing. And it’s on a greenbelt (not the “other” kind, just a greenbelt). Oh, and it’s in the Development: OTHR area.

Loveliest comment, by Jen: If this is how “The Others” questions are answered on LOST, I’m going to be very disappointed.

Chairity! (An early Chairtuday)

Wait! Where are you going with those Chairs?

What have you done to Chair? You monsters! You… you…

Oh.

Um. Right. So. Carry on:

Chair is doing charity work! Chair seems to have signed up with an organization called Free Wheelchair Mission, and is doing what a Chair does best: supporting people.

Here’s Free Wheelchair Mission’s review on Charity Navigator. They’re definitely religious, which might not be your thing — but they’re frikkin’ handing out free wheelChairs, including in Haiti, and it’s hard to argue with that.

The house even rattles when you shake it

Oh, look! This house comes with a.. a… a thing? In the basement? Or some other room? What on earth could it be? Hmmm. I’ll just open the lid and…

*SPROINGGGGGG*

AAAAHHHHH! IT’S A GIANT SNAKE NUT CAN! PERHAPS CONNECTED TO GIANT SNAKE NUT PIPES RUNNING UNDER THE STREETS OF WHATEVER NORWEGIAN TOWN THIS IS!

Please note: any confusion about what this is a photo of is not the fault of my Photoshop skills, which are excellent. This is just what snake nut cans look like.

Loveliest comment, by Goldilocks: I keep clicking the upper left corner for Porrige, but it always comes out too hot or too cold!

Glory days, well, they'll pass you by…

funny real estate

Sometimes, when the sun is just so and there’s a chill in the air, the dryer sits by itself and reminisces about its former success. All those years of training — the early  mornings, the late nights, the missed parties that the other appliances had — and now all the dryer has to show for it is this trophy.

But it was worth it. It was worth it.
