There's been a mix-up at the paint-by-numbers factory

Clearly this is not how things were supposed to be. Let’s look at the box:

Whoops! Looks like we included the wrong set of paints. Sorry about that! We’ll send out a replacement ASAP.

I want to find more furrin listings, so I can be nosy internationally. Any suggestions for easy-to-navigate, easy-to-link-to, no-registration-required real estate websites from outside the USA? To give you an idea what I’m looking for: my current favorites are Redfin and Finn (but I will consider companies that don’t have “fin” in their names).

Thank you!

I like to think that the sad resident of this place eventually found love and moved in here. Awww! Sweet. Life-threatening, but sweet. Now there are two folding chairs, not just one, and they even get burners! No oven… Hmmm. Maybe they’re waiting until they’re married.

Loveliest comment, by Jano: Carrying a few extra pounds would be a fatal disorder. It would be a shame to die in a tragic balcony-dining room collapse. Cause of death: metal fatigue

NOTE: The Belgian chocolate might be worth it, though.

Happy Groundhog’s Day! You’re going to be eating breakfast RIGHT HERE every day of your life for years on end! Wait, wait — why are you crying? Please don’t cry. Shush, shush, don’t cry. It’s okay. Sorry about the microwave not working, by the way, but we couldn’t find an outlet. Awwww.

Loveliest comment, by Blandwagon: I like the fact that you can slide your dinner-for-one out of the microwave and into position for eating without even getting out of your chair. So handy when your crippling depression makes moving about impossible!

It’s not from a listing! I don’t care! It’s a space ship, and we love space ships! Let’s pretend it’s a house so I can justify having it here! Ten… nine… eight…

Helpful Ceiling Tiles are Helpful

“Don’t forget us!” cried the ceiling tiles. “We’re coming, too!” Then they hopped down and packed themselves into boxes.

Found by: me

Loveliest comment, by mudslicker: Billy Bob made a note to himself to remember that, on the next renovation, the use of ABC Hubba-Bubba is NOT a recommended adhesive for installing ceiling tiles.
