Polly cannot believe!
Very Focused Harry.
Lots of swimming pools and a pool table today. Well, that was a totally unnecessary observation. Now for the vitally necessary observations:
If there are 2 or 3 tons of meeses fighting, and you are moving to within charging range, so you can film it on your phone … do I have to finish this?
Belated Happy 4th!
So much stuff house: $4.098 million? That’s just 50¢ per knick and $1 per knack, and they throw in the house for free! With a pool, which, surprisingly, is sans knickknacks.
Very unusual house: They call the look Contemporary. With those tilted poles, I call the look Just Temporary.
Middle of the night house: Day or night, if you are big enough to climb the 18″ risers, you are too big to fit in the cubbyhole. If the ceiling weren’t so low, I’d replace them with a trampoline.
Made it to the top of the stairs? Good! Now, with one foot on the ledge, you have to fold yourself into thirds, and pivot onto the toilet,.
Seated? Good! Now, make your choice. Are you going to do your biznez with your knees locked together, and your feet hanging over the edge? Or with your legs splayed open, so you can keep your feet on the floor on either side of the bowl? Before you decide, remember that you are now positioned right in front of the window.
Finished? Great. Now try to wipe without toppling out of the cubbyhole.
Remember when all you had to wonder about in the bathroom was “Why did they tile the ceiling?”
PS: Sometimes I hate having the kind of imagination that comes up with scenarios like the one above. But most of the time I love it.
The Funky house is fun, but I personally wouldn’t want to live there.
Too much stuff MCM is really nice under all that stuff.
OMG, that deadly toilet!
We need more scary adds like that
That is a very sweet comic/ficlet! I didn’t expect it to go the way that was obvious at the very start, but it didn’t go the way I expected, either.
Okay. Now I need to go to the grocery store and buy some Mint Chip Oreos.
I love the idea of a neighborhood cat tour!
I also love the idea of living in a former windmill! (And of keeping the hole down the middle of the house, as long as it’s done safely.) But that’s really too many stairs for me these days.
You found some extra special deadly stuff this week. I don’t even know where to start.
