That Is A Nice Island

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.

I hate Mondays.

Overheard daily in homes across our great nation: “Honey? Have you seen my Garfield? No, not the one in the ‘I LOVE LASAGNA’ T-shirt, my other Garfield. You know, the one with the orange fur? And black stripes? No, no, not the one with suction cups on his paws for attaching to car windows, the other Garfield. The one with half-closed eyes. Yeah, I looked under the sofa, but all I found was three Garfield coffee mugs, a Garfield key chain, and a roll of Garfield wrapping paper. Damn it, and now I’m going to be late to work. One of these days we really have to get all these Garfields organized. I tell you, it’ll help when we sell the house: everyone wants a Garfield room.”

(Found By: Ashley M, who made my son’s day because he’s about as big of a Garfield fan as you can find. If only there was Garfield Lego — man, that would be the best thing ever. Disturbingly, I was drinking tea from a Garfield “VOTE REPUBLICAN” mug when I saw this listing. It’s my son’s, I swear.)

Loveliest comment, by Charlie Cornelius: That’s creepy. How can anyone be so obsessed with something. All that wasted shelf space. There could be books on those. Hundreds and hundreds of books, stiff hardbacks, pliant softbacks, shiny, delicately scented… What? What?

Not included: prince

Want to buy the house Salamanda found? First you have to spend the night in this bedroom. If you toss and turn all night because of the pea under the mattresses, it’s yours!

Meanwhile, in the back yard…

Oh, blue Chairs, why do you discriminate? Bring the table back and let Chair join in your game.

But anyway. It’s not just an Ohio thing! Kansas is looking for a princess, too, as this listing knitorpurl found shows:

I am confused. The castles don’t look like I expected them to. I’m clearly out of touch with modern royalty.

The mud and the blood and the beer and the "for sale" sign

Allison found this evidence of a bar brawl. Save valuable family time! Buy a house with the fight already in progress!

Pssst. Any FBI agents reading this?

Kelsey found this listing — and I found D.B. Cooper!

Quick! Swoop in! Get him! Who would’ve guessed he’d turn up in Kansas?

Self-cleaning basement

No need to mop! Let our amazing new basement technology clean itself! Rinses automatically. Over and over and over again.

Thanks to Paula for this basement with a babbling brook. (Is that seaweed on the walls?)
