I’m sorry. I usually try contribute something of substance, but ~wipes tears of laughter~ every paragraph is a showcase in absurd humour. This wins the week for me.
Oh come on you must have more info on the provenance of those! I almost choked laughing. The last one is sublime.
I’m a Realtor and I love this!! Thanks for the humor this morning.
I’ve always had a weakness for beaten weasel siding. When can I arrange a tour, hopefully using whale-oil lamps for illumination??
Hilarious! Wondering if these weren’t edited. No link to original, so perhaps so! Nonetheless – funny!
It must’ve been a really slow day in Bernoffville. 🥴
Janelle Shane’s blog aiweirdness.com, and her book “You Look Like A Thing And I Love You,” are paeans to this glorious genre and I cannot recommend them highly enough. (And I don’t ever recommend anything to anyone. That stuff makes me gasp with laughter so hard my cats start panicking and pawing me to see if I need CPR.)
