One building; so many opportunities.

The morning amphetamines haven't kicked in yet, and I'm having a tough time figuring out what I'm looking at. Is it one of those buildings where firefighters practice with their hoses and ladders?



No, wait. It seems to be some sort of an underground bar / bathhouse.




Even the Chairs are cowering in the corner, uncertain what they're supposed to be doing about the giant manta ray that swooped down into the missile silo.


And in this room, we have a giant hatbox. Or possibly a six-foot-across wedding cake. Why? What's going to leap out of it? Will it hurt me?



Wandering over here, we seem to be in a lawyer's waiting room.


Or maybe not. I'm not saying this is a bordello. I'm just saying... never mind. On advice of the legal counsel I waited for above, I'm not saying anything.


Now we seem to be in an office. Or a movie set. Possibly a furniture showroom.


Noooo... we're in an airport? In Dubai? In 1978?



Ah hah! It's a fire station! All is clear.

(Found by Beth, who says that it isn't even in a residential area but instead is on a service road. That doesn't really help with the confusion, does it?)

Legs crossed

 


Dang, poor Chair. I hate when there's a line for the outhouse.

Fruithat



At night the baseball hats wake up and swoop around the house, eating bugs. They avoid hitting the walls by use of sonar. Although people are afraid they might get tangled in their hair, most baseball hats are harmless.

"massive walking clothest"


There...

Back in the bathroom...

Is it?

Oh dear. I think it is. Hold on while I get a Modesty Chair... Okay, here you go. Make up your own mind.

Still life with mannequin, bottle, Star Trek


Oh, the tragedy of the love triangle. Who will the lotion choose? The strong shoulders of the mannequin, or the lighthearted ways of the TV?



P.S. The obvious Silence of the Lambs comment will not be approved, as per the longstanding and never-before-divulged policy of the It's Lovely! I'll Take It! board of moderators.

P.P. S. Found by Procrastamom.

Let's get ready to rumble!

On the count of three, come out of your corners swinging. One... two...

Everybody's looking for something

Might I suggest wicking pajamas?


(Found by Kris. Linking is impossible, but it's MLS E3178611 in Edmonton if you're really curious.)

"Serene small town living"


Jess found this listing. Ah, so wholesome: just two people out in the gazebo. Two people enjoying a summer day... two people armed with guns, aiming out at the neighbors (or neighbours, since they're Canadian).

Really. That's what I see. Am I wrong? And if I'm right, is that Hurley? If I'm wrong, then what are they doing -- shooting lost explorers with blow darts?

Mutant Listing



From Linda comes this mutant hand reaching toward whoever's on the pot. Grr! Argh!

This post qualifies for Energy Star

Green! Green! Green! Green!




Green! Green! Green!

These houses are so freaking verdant I just can't take it any more...



And neither could they.

(The chartreuse kitchen was found by Shauna, and Jennifer found the invigorating bathroom.)

Bats in the belfry

Middle Way found this listing of misplaced things.

Plastic wrap on the bed!



Bricks in the bedroom!



A lawnmower in the kitchen!


My head on my desk.

Listings, red in tooth and claw




Oh, my. I'm about as far from a raw vegan as you can get while still having opposable thumbs, but still I do not find dead little glassy eyeballs and bloody guts to be appealing.

Found by Kristin; found by Annie.

Even more help is on the way



What's that? You were getting cold while playing the piano outside? Don't worry -- Hanne found a fireplace to keep you warm.

Telling, but not in a good way


What does this photo tell us about the house? That it has a floor? Perhaps that it's wired for electricity? That people have slept here?

(Found by Cynthia.)

Have fun selling the castle!

If you were going to have one photo in a listing, would this be it? Yes? It would? Well, all right then.

Found by Charlene, who says "it's probably easy to defend which, given the neighbourhood, isn't a bad thing, but don't most people want a front window?"

Maybe it's just grainier in Nova Scotia.



This listing -- found by Terry & Shauna -- confuses me. The images are on a website, so at some point someone had access to technology beyond a photocopier.

Someone must have taken the photographs, made photocopies of them, and then... put the copies in a scanner? Taken digital photos of them? Stuffed them into the CD drive? Held them up to the monitor and said "These ones, computer! Put these ones up on the Internet!"

Squeak!



Jennifer found this little cutie (no, not the house). "It's disturbing enough that all of the photos in the listing are just different angles of the outside of the house, but you also apparently get a free 'pet.'" Just what I wanted!
