And on Sunday the real estate rested, having decided that a photo of an adorable frog statue was a good enough stand-in for a two bedroom, one bathroom, single-family house.
Loveliest comment, by john: You’re all being closed-minded. It doesn’t say it’s a house for _people_. Look around. That’s actually a good price for a two-bedroom one-bath frog pad. In Frog dollars, of course. “Greenbacks.”

Good luck, Chair!
To those of you who thinks this settles the question of Chair’s gender, I present the following list: George W. Bush, Jimmy Stewart, FDR, Eisenhower, Samuel L. Jackson, Steve Martin, and Trent Lott. It is still a mystery.
Loveliest comment, by Lisa W: TRYING
Chair was so embarrassed. He was the only cheerleader at tryouts whose parents came along. Overdressed and oversized, they reminded him of a day in his future when being the top of the pyramid would be out of the question. A day when he, too, might succumb to wearing tacky jewelry and indulging in cosmetic surgery.
To top off the horrible day, the ‘rents got into a fight in the car, and now mom wasn’t speaking to dad. He watched as his father walked to the far side of Extreme Cheer and considered the cigarette he kept for emergencies.
Chair knew that this day was no longer about him. The resentment that festered inside him grew like the pyramid he would never be a part of.

Did you know that hardware stores often sell mis-mixed cans of housepaint for, like, 90% off? You can only get a few gallons of any one color, as each one is unique, but if you’re doing a small project it can be a great way to save money.
Huh. No idea why I thought of that.
Loveliest comment, by Luka: When you showed me color samples and I said OK I ment the first one, not all of them…

I… I… what? This is even more “other” than yesterday’s post. Looking at the listing, we see this is a… a… well, it costs $305,000.00 and is being sold by someone named “Kenn.” Other than that, all is confusion.
It, whatever it is, might be in Utah, or it might not exist yet (but then what are the photos of?). It comes with a house, but can be shipped internationally. It “comes with a 5 bedroom 2 bath home with future basement kitchen/ apartment and a 2 car garage,” but “play house/gym can be sold separately.”
Look, I can’t figure it out. Will someone please just buy this, unwrap it, and let me know what’s in the box? Thanks.

“DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS,” sez the real estate agent, which is intriguing. But more intriguing is the note that the property has a pool (where?) of the “Pool Description: Other Pool” type. So it’s not the kind of pool you’re thinking of. It’s the other kind of pool.
It also has an other spa, an other roof, other dining, an other entry, and other parking, says the listing. And it’s on a greenbelt (not the “other” kind, just a greenbelt). Oh, and it’s in the Development: OTHR area.

Loveliest comment, by Jen: If this is how “The Others” questions are answered on LOST, I’m going to be very disappointed.
Wait! Where are you going with those Chairs?
What have you done to Chair? You monsters! You… you…
Oh.
Um. Right. So. Carry on:
Chair is doing charity work! Chair seems to have signed up with an organization called Free Wheelchair Mission, and is doing what a Chair does best: supporting people.
Here’s Free Wheelchair Mission’s review on Charity Navigator. They’re definitely religious, which might not be your thing — but they’re frikkin’ handing out free wheelChairs, including in Haiti, and it’s hard to argue with that.

Oh, look! This house comes with a.. a… a thing? In the basement? Or some other room? What on earth could it be? Hmmm. I’ll just open the lid and…

AAAAHHHHH! IT’S A GIANT SNAKE NUT CAN! PERHAPS CONNECTED TO GIANT SNAKE NUT PIPES RUNNING UNDER THE STREETS OF WHATEVER NORWEGIAN TOWN THIS IS!
Please note: any confusion about what this is a photo of is not the fault of my Photoshop skills, which are excellent. This is just what snake nut cans look like.

Sometimes, when the sun is just so and there’s a chill in the air, the dryer sits by itself and reminisces about its former success. All those years of training — the early mornings, the late nights, the missed parties that the other appliances had — and now all the dryer has to show for it is this trophy.
But it was worth it. It was worth it.

“Evidence of past roof leaks in LR and K” says the listing. The top photo is from the kitchen, but the other two are a bedroom and the garage (I think)… which presumably do not show evidence of past roof leaks, but instead show evidence of past interior decorating decisions. It’s not a leak: it’s a water feature!
My LOLcat overlords suggest that I do more pop culture references to get those vital young people reading my blog. Do you think a headline that refers to a defunct BBC gardening show will draw the kids in?
Loveliest comment, by Land of shimp: Yes, water seems responsible for the condition of that home. Corrosive, flammable water certainly got to that stove.

What should I make for dinner, kids? Kids? What would you like? Would you like noodles? Mac and cheese? Rice and beans? Kids? Please answer me. Dear, do you have an opinion? Would anyone like to express an opinion on what they want to eat for dinner? FINE I’LL JUST TAKE SOME #%$(!#$ FOOD AND SHOVE IT IN THE #%$(!#$ FIRE AND WE’LL JUST EAT WHATEVER FOR DINNER AND YOU’LL LIKE IT
Loveliest comment, by Tacomagic: I saw something similar to this once. My sister and I were lost in a forest and came upon a house made entirely of candy. Turns out this nice old lady lived there and invited us in. She had one of those in the kitchen and it turned out that it wasn’t very safe at all.
