That Is A Nice Island

funny real estate

What is that thing in the kitchen? I do not know. Who will tell me what it is?

Oh! It is a big granite island! It is! It is! It is big.

This granite island is bigger:

…but it is not for sale. We will not put a “Bigger Granite Island” sign on it.

Loveliest comment, by alissagrosso: There are many mysterious real estate pictures I have seen on this site that I would have appreciated labels for, but sadly this was not one of them.

    Big Granite Island would be a great title for a Pavement album.

  3. K. says:

    I laughed out loud at YOUR “bigger granite island” ! Thanks!

  4. Chris says:

    Or as one friend had commented about her kitchen: That is not an island, that is a continent!

  5. BikerGeek says:

    Obviously, the granite island is intended for the preparation of cheesecake.

    So, judging from the pics on the realtor’s website, this house has a big granite island that can be seen from any point in the house, a tv, and a porch. The listing states 4 beds, 1.5 baths, but all the photos are of this island! I think it may be a photo hog!

  7. Susan says:

    The realtor demonstrates that the island is big enough for a woman to lie on. Just what does she think is going to happen in that kitchen. No one’s going to want to cook on it now. eww

    How much do you think they pay you as an extra on listings? I mean, it could be a worthwhile job educating the public, showing what things are and what they’re made for (even if all of us here know that a big granite island is made for laying down in the kitchen to welcome the guests, roman triclinium style, because all the bar stools ran off with chair. For example).

    • Quark says:

      About the same rate as those tele-sales channels on TV I guess. They get paid a commission on each sale. You just have to keep yabbling on for as long as possible.
      “Hi, I’m Zorro, and I’m here to demonstrate this automatic sword sharpening machine. Just place the sword in the slot, select how sharp you want the blade to be, and what type of metal it is made of and let it work. In less than 10 minutes, your sword will be as sharp as new. But!!! Not only does it sharpen swords, it also sharpens, knives, toothpicks, arrow heads and ninja starwheels. But there’s more – not only does it sharpen blades, but it also shreds paper as well. Just place the attachment over the slot, selected shredder mode and even large documents are shredded in a second.”

      • mudslicker says:

        Regarding swords, rumor has it that the one stuck in this big hunk-o-granite can only be pulled out by some kid named Arthur. That woman does not look like the Lady of the Lake however. I think this is a trap.

        • bryn says:

          Feh, I’m not buying any house with a triclinium unless there is also a vomitorium and a masturbatorium. Particularly the latter, I want to see that on the listing.

  9. GinGin says:

    I wonder how much radon a granite kitchen island that size emits?

    • bryn says:

      Enough that the estate agent came over all woozy and had to lie down half way through her tour of the house

    Is this the shack/island that the Dursely’s run to in Harry Potter to escape all the Hogwarts invitations? Perhaps they should have just installed a “bigger granite island” in their home.

  11. Dawn says:

    Everything’s relative.

    What if that woman is only 4 feet tall. Then the counter isn’t really as big as you’d think.

    They could be using a wide-angle lens to make it look like a big island.

    Then you would get there and find out it’s just an ordinary size after all.

    That is one gawdawful kitchen layout….. looooooog and narrow, the oven’s at the far left, take a stroll past the stovetop in the islad to the refridgerator, and then hike past that to the cabinets and counters on the far right. Who planned this thing, a long-distance racewalker?!?

  13. Mr Obnox says:

    At first I thought your photoshop skills had gotten really, really good. But no, she’s really lying on the island… No comment about your photoshop skills then.

    *sigh* just one more giant surface to keep free of dust, cat hair, crumbs and clutter…
