Funny Real Estate - Hobbiton

More Not For Sale Wednesday delights! This one was designed by Roger Dean, who also did all those Yes covers and their logo and also a chair that was so complicated he got a patent on it. Oh, and he made the pods that people sit in in the movie A Clockwork Orange right before OHMYGOD WHY DID I WATCH THAT CLIP OH YOUTUBE YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR anyway sorry. Let’s move back to the comfy little round house. So round! So comfy! I shall retreat to it, far from the hideousness of the droogs in their milkbars…

P.S. This Friday’s post is going to be awesome in a whole different way… a way involving robots. And deadlines. And a test of skill. I recommend that you read it.

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!

cave-house

I’m cheating again! This house is not for sale, as the homeowners love it. And who can blame them? Man, that’s one gorgeous cave. I live in a temperate rainforest, myself (albeit one with highways and tire stores and not so much with the trees), so my first thought is how frikkin’ damp it must be. But I don’t care! If it were available, I would just move my family in and start buying desiccant in barrels from Costco.

At least I think that’s a cave. I didn’t actually bother to read the article (which was found by Mr. Zarquon). Maybe it’s actually marshmallow fluff all over the ceiling. Mmmm. Fluffy... I’ll still take it! It can’t be any worse to live with than my popcorn ceilings are, after all. Man, that stuff tastes nasty, no matter how much butter I put on it.

Loveliest comment, by Laura: My house is a mess, Son dropped a bag of flour in the kitchen, pigeons drop guano down the chimney but I am counting my blessings – at least I don’t have sand falling from the ceiling…

Chairtuday! Chair Lineup

Chair Lineup

Oh, silly little Chair, and Chair’s cousins — they’ve drunk so much they’re legless. Bit early for the holiday boozing, isn’t it?

Loveliest comment, by Lisa W: The one on the far left is nervous. He is waiting his turn at the plastic surgeon. His siblings have turned out quite well, but all he really wanted was a dye job.

Chair Helps

Horrified by accusations of racism, Chair has decided to take some time off, get a part-time job as a mover, and figure a few things out. Remember, Chair: lift with the back and twist!

Come Sit On Santa And Tell Me What You Want For Chri-WAARRGGABBUURRLBLL

Continuing yesterday’s fraud exploration of non-listing photos of interest to people who are interested in houses and stuff, I have this treat for all the good girls and boys: Santa, smiling up at you, waiting for…

…for…

…for you to sit…

Look, my mom reads this blog. There are certain jokes I just can’t make knowing that she’ll read it even though I’m a fully-grown (if astoundingly immature) adult. You can fill in the rest yourself, right?

Loveliest comment, by gvh: And that’s the mouth he used to kiss my Mommy? Ew.

Chaircation

Ahhh. Secure in the knowledge that Chariturday will be a weeklyish event, Chair relaxes on the balcony.

Note: this isn’t from a listing. It’s just a photo. I’m branching out. Or cheating, whatever, it’s my frigging blog and I CAN DO THAT DON’T TELL ME I CANT ooooh wait sorry. I should be more calm. More like Chair. Inhale… exhale… inhale… exhale…

Found By: JoAnne

Loveliest comment, by Celine: Cheat away, lady. I’m sure we’d all like to be sitting with (not in, because that would be wrong) Chair, watching life go by.
