Let’s give it a try:
Hm. That wasn’t quite as explanatory as I thought it would be.
Can you come up with a story to explain what happened here in Campbell? Challenge: Alien abduction references not allowed.

The rear house has been to Oz and back?

I’ll tell you exactly what happened: someone watched “flip this house” or “sweat equity” and decided they were going to make $300,000 by buying this dilapidated deathtrap and spending 2 weeks fixing it up, then they realized that they don’t have the backing of a cable TV network and hoards of producers calling repairmen and contractors and paying them any price they wish to get the job done on time for the TV show.
I hope they’re living in a tent city in the central valley now.

It’s an algebra problem.
Buy this property + x = Profit.

Did they take the title of the show literally or something? It’s an economic metaphor. This place looks like somebody literally “flipped” it in the air.
Buy this property + x = Profit.
That ‘x’ had better be that my neighbor is Carmen Electra and she’ll be filming her new aerobic striptease in plain view.

You mean XXX, right?

More like where X is the universal quantifier.
Come on now BAI, I thought you were a Stanford grad. Smart people, like people who graduate from Stanford, know that there is only money to be made in real estate.

Something involving 3 little pigs but I can’t get it to work out where it makes sense.
Still looks better than what I live in BUT my place doesn’t cost me anything.

Someone found an old treasure map. Before the house was built, someone had stashed some gold on the land. The only way to get at it was to move the house.
Too bad they ran out of money to move the house.
Whoever is lucky enough to buy this property can also get the gold and be rich! Super, tell your boss to take this job and shove it, rich!!

I must have missed the class that specified that. Was that in the ‘Denying Reality 101′ curriculum?

#8 – yes! it was built on God’s Little Acre!
re the age of the house: I think you can determine that by checking the teeth.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
the teeth, or do you count the rings?

> You mean XXX, right?
You can double up and get the house next door.
