Some people might think that if you’re trying to sell a house, you should have more than one photo in the listing. Some people also think that if you insist on going with just one photo, you should put the fire out before pulling out the camera. But those people are wrong.
No, wait. I mean right. Those people are right.
(Chair has rushed to do what Chair can, but some things are beyond Chair — after throwing a damp rag over the mailbox to save it from any spreading flames, Chair gave up and told Chair’s friends to save themselves.)

Loveliest comments:
robyn: Both of the Chairs look like they’ve got some special ornamentation on the back of then–could they perhaps be cajun French Chairs?
Steven: No. That’s “boss with big bonuses and a house in a gated community” chair that employs chair, who reluctantly came with his wife to chair’s impromptu non-work related company BBQ at chair’s house to show that he isn’t always an anal, angry guy. They’re feeling quite uncomfortable now since the blue-collar clique stays tightly knitted beside the smoker, creating a social circle with little room for boss chair to get a word in without feeling awkward about his statement.

“Among the many features of this lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is a built-in, always-on smoker for the hunter or fisherman in the family. Mmm-mmm-mmm! Sausage anyone?”
Looks like grandpa needs a new Toro.
Upon further inspection… I don’t think that’s a grandpa – just a towel hanging over the mailbox. Though I thought it was a grandpa at first also.
Oh wow…you’re absolutely correct! I hate it when I matrix before I’ve had sufficient caffeine.
Looks like grandpa needs a new Ram truck.
Well, see. it says in the listing that the house has a smoke detector–this is just to prove that–makes sense, eh?

Hilarious!
Hmmm…the agent seems to like that $75,000 price point, and sure seems to have a lot of these identical manufactured houses to sell. Of course, those other houses don’t have Chair’s approval…
Maybe if Chair had paid more attention during fire safety class instead of practicing for Ren Faire it would have helped.

Man, some people will try to turn ANYTHING into a bong.
Maaaaaaaaaa…..Taco is being Taco again!
*go French press your bad self*
I believe this is the house Samantha Morton bought in Synecdoche, New York.
I’m just in awe of the fact that this realtor seems to specialize in one specific style of house. Guess it makes remembering the stats that much easier. Kinda like naming all your kids George.
I glanced at the house before I checked the actual listing and thought “Hmmm, I just saw a very similar home” when browsing listings over the weekend. Imagine my surprise when I saw that it was the same one (I think. Maybe. Hard to say as there a slew of them). And now I am kicking myself because I didn’t beat Melissa to submitting it! Okay, okay, I did not see it’s potential then. Hindsight, you know.
I have been feeling a little overly city slicker lately, and deficient in redneck. looking at this photo makes me feel much better. thank you Chair!
You really really need some kind of gender-neutral singular personal pronoun for Chair, to make these narratives less awkward.
It has been proposed: “te, tem, tis” instead of “he, him, his” or “she, her, hers” or “they, them, theirs”.
I happily and unashamedly use the singular they in my daily life, but it seems weird with Chair. But avoiding pronouns all together isn’t working well, either. I’ll try a “they” next time and see what happens.
I’m on a mailing list for proofreaders (yeah, I’m a geek) and they pointed out that, while “singular they” is still considered incorrect in formal writing, it’s widely used in conversation, and many experts believe will soon become entirely accepted. I say, the sooner the better. The whole gender-neutral thing is so awkward.
If it was good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for me.
Notice similarity to lovely listing banner at the top of the screen – house on fire as Chairs watch in horror.
It’s uncanny.
Noitice how Chair’s nieghbors, Other Chair and Folding Chair, rushed over to watch the horror from the safe distance at the mailbox.
Yes, typical nosy neighbours-of-chair that they are – notice that they don’t lift a finger…err leg? to help – just stand round the letterbox gossiping…tsk tsk!
Are we absolutely sure that is smoke? I seem to see the “smoke” manifesting a head on the far right…. maybe they just caught the ghosts in this photo?
