Glows in the dark, it’s iridescent

Mar. 24, 2010

Let’s keep the positivity going! Another awesome house, once again not from a listing but let’s face it, we don’t really care.

This is just yer common-or-garden 1930s house in Oklahoma City, bought at a foreclosure sale… and remodeled for Wayne Coyne (of the Flaming Lips) and his wife, the artist J. Michelle Martin-Coyne. And now it’s freaking great. Lookee!

And it has a dragon in the back yard!

Here we have the head of the future:

Beyoootiful, but I’m glad I’m not responsible for keeping the grout clean.

I am intrigued that the architect’s page says the house provides an ” escape from the groupies and roadies who frequently overrun the compound.” I’m a fan and have been for some 15 or 20 years, but the thought never once crossed my mind of being a Flaming Lips groupie. Or that they even had groupies. I’m sure they’re charming people and all, but… groupies? But anyway. Awesome!

Crazy House Is Crazy!

Funny Real Estate - Crazy House Is Crazy!

Enough snark! Let’s do a spell of awesomeness. Above, please see exhibit A. That is, A for “awesome.”I was going to go out and find a place in my backyard for a tree swing, but then I saw this and got a whole bunch of better ideas. Do you think I could copy this? I’m pretty certain the zoning laws in my American suburb are just about the same as those in Da Lat, Vietnam. I’ll just print these photos off and take them down to Home Depot, get some advice from one of the orange aprons, and I’ll be on my way.

Loveliest comment, by Beatdown: I agree, why would you want that in your garden? Its disturbing and disgusting. I think its an Audi, I cant tell with those gravestones in the way.

OMG I am such a bad parent. I’ve been making my kids play with bits of string and sticks and a mud puddle all this time. Sorry, guys.

Loveliest comment, by Anodean: The gnome cricket pitch takes this to a class all it’s own – especially with the little stands for the gnome figurine spectators. Made of awesome. I’ll guess that the track with the half-tire flyovers is for racing radio-controlled cars – which itself proves the indomitable spirit of the Aussie, as apparently they can’t get slot-cars there, and have topped it with an outdoor version. I feel a song coming on – all tangled with the story about Rip Van Winkles’ little friends…
Do you come from the Land Down Under?
Where gnomes bowl with pools under?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear that thunder?
When the lion roars, you better take cover…

And now, in the holiday spirit: fistfights, tears, and inappropriate drunkenness. No, wait. Try again.

*ahem*

Now, in the holiday spirit: I have nothing mean to say. Actually, I think this is awesome! Unfortunately it looks like it’s already sold; otherwise it would go right on my wish list.

If that's how you look after your house, I'm not buying you another one

rusty

Oh, honey. You left the house out in the rain and now it’s all rusty. Sigh…

Loveliest comment, by BikerGeek: MacArthur’s pad is rusting really bad
All the ferric oxide flowing down
And I don’t know why they killed it
‘Cause it took so long to build it
And I’ll never get that mortgage rate again, oh no
