…that I didn’t have to sleep in the guest bedroom,

…and that I didn’t have to make Thanksgiving dinner in an operating room,

…that I haven’t yet had to call an emergency plumber (pictured above) on the cloggiest day of the year.

And most of all: I’m thankful for my lovely readers with their excellent comments and amazing finds. Thank you! Mwa! Extra pie all around!

(Note to furriners: today is Thanksgiving, when Americans eat a lot of pie. There’s more to the story, but once you grow out of the handprint turkey stage and into “needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense” awareness it gets awkward.)

Found by, and by: the Facebook group I just can’t stop stealing from, “For oss som fascineres av bildene på Finn.no.”

On one hand the City of San Francisco has declared this building to be an official landmark, which is pretty darn cool. And it’s huge and — if we consider this is in San Francisco, where $750,000 gets you this — it’s cheap and the Rolling Stones went to parties there back when they were interesting . But… well, poking around the Interweb reveals at least three porn movies were filmed in this house. I was all set to show you some screenshots proving this, but tell me: do you want to spend the afternoon researching 1970s porn?

You do?

Great! Okay! “User submitted,” that’s our slogan! So, lock your office door, put your phone on mute, and see if you can find John Holmes’ The Swizzle Stick. Also Tea Time (tea time?!?), and The Vixen. Have fun!

Loveliest comment, by Vivian: See, my head went to a completely different place on the movie thing. I’m picturing Gene Wilder walking down that hallway bent over double at the tiny, tiny door, and playing on a piano keyboard to open it.

Make sure you read the small print if you buy this house. I found you’ll have to sign this disclaimer:
