@lichme Dangerous. I love it.

Oh, crap. That appointment at the Han Dynasty Spa is going to get me in trouble.

Doing a movie night/skype(or discord) call is always nice.
Sending each other dinner on uber eats can be fun too.
@suhsawn I found a funny listing while house hunting that had the realtor in every photo putting the place through an inspection. I didn’t even realize it was intentional until I saw him standing in the bathtub and the next shot had him hiding behind a bedroom door but visible in a mirror. Great fun and would have sold me on the place if the house were in better shape.
@ExtraMedium I like to think that the realtor was just as surprised as you were when you saw the photos.
Fashion show, modeling the oddest outfits in your wardrobe and explaining why you have them
@tinamarie1974
What do you think of these jeandals?
@mike808 you got some splanin to do!
Going off your cursed home suggestion, I recently had a lot of fun pulling up actual listings for ridiculously over priced homes and then shitting all over the really dumb stuff that were “totally dealbreakers” over discord.
Here’s a gem we found; 6 bedrooms with a dedicated billiard room, movie screening room, fitness center, and gun room… but… let’s just toss the instruments into this weird space above the bedroom.
And then there’s the hallway sink?
But the super classy bathroom almost won me back over.
And all for just a few mil.
@metaphore
The instruments on the balcony over the bed are there for the mariachis. (If you can afford the house, you can afford the mariachis to serenade you…)
@werehatrack But that’s not even the main bedroom, I guess maybe a serenade every night could be a bit much, and maybe the mariachi room is only for the weekends.
@metaphore Only 7 light bulbs in the bathroom?! SMH. Next house.
@suhsawn The “Get Naked” decal on the shower is what won me over.
@metaphore pffft… it actually says “get baked”.
This is obviously a meticulously cleaned expensive stoner bathroom.
If they left the black light posters up it would be a bit more obvious.
@RogerWilco you know, the occupants being constantly high might explain some of the other odd choices in the house.
@metaphore you mean like the douchey magic sign?
or maybe the guitars sitting out where people show up and ask
“oh do you play”?
& the response is
“no, I just like music”.
Maybe it’s that framed photo downstairs…
I get it… it looks like its a Packers print.
Well it’s not.
It definitely says Green Day & it’s not that shitty band who had a few decent albums early on it’s definitely a photo of a giant green house. You can see all the pot plants trailing into the middle distance in back.
So obvious.
I rest my case.
Seriously though…
I have no explanation for the hallway sink.
That’s just weird.
@metaphore @RogerWilco
The hallway sink is part of the wet bar; the opening in the wall adjacent is for the caterer’s barkeep to keep the guests lubricated.
@metaphore Am I the only one here excited about a return of minstrel galleries?
@metaphore I’m fine with the loft area. I’m just wondering about the sink in the bedroom. And what is that, a dishwasher?
@cinoclav I think it’s a mini fridge? You need to have refreshments on hand for enjoying the balcony band.
@cinoclav @metaphore
I’m glad they put a sign up to help you remember where to put your guitar.
I thought the baclony was for the royal court while they bear witness to the creation of the royal heir consummating His Majesty’s wedding the Queen.
Didn’t you watch the Netflix documentary, Reign?
@mike808 If they need the reminder in the bathroom, it’s not at all surprising that they might forget where the “Music” goes.
@metaphore @mike808
I bet there’s a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign somewhere else in the house.
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 and a
"House Rules :
No cussin’
No fussin’
No back takin’ "
sign in the mud room
@Kyeh @mike808 @ybmuG The closest I found was the “not all who wander are lost” in they gym…
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 I actually have the LLL sign!!! It is in a box in my garage, for secret santa. Someone gave it to me as a housewarming present when I moved into the house a few years ago. Left it up for the obligatory timeframe. And now it is down!!!
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 @tinamarie1974 What IS the obligatory timeframe for such a thing - you know, just in case?
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 @ybmuG I stuck it in my office, in a corner, for about two years
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 @tinamarie1974 oh, that’s a lot longer than I was hoping, but I guess it has to be long enough that the giver stops looking for it or otherwise won’t notice it being gone. I’d say you fulfilled any obligation, real or perceived.
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 @ybmuG that was the goal! Now in the secret santa pile to reek havoc on someone else lol
@Kyeh @metaphore @mike808 @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
My personal custom for Secret Santa regifting is “trade with someone who works elsewhere”. If you can put together a pool, like Secret Santa Swap Club (the first rule, yadda yadda), it could allow anonymous blind disposal of crap that greatly reduces the possibility of getting it back.
@metaphore @mike808 @tinamarie1974 @werehatrack @ybmuG
I’d hang this one up:
A virtual walking tour of some romantic city at night…like Paris with the Eiffel Tower lit up. Companies are offering this type of thing these days - kind of cool, especially with a good glass of wine and some charcuterie.
@cbilyak be warned - there will be a future follow-up question about an in person walking tour of such site.

I contest one of your primary theories.
Cursed homes come with rodents. See mouse hunt.
Blessed homes come with cats.
Although you best get on TNR

GeoGuessr is really fun. I was at a training one time and sitting in the back of the classroom. I kept getting the answers right but only saying them loud enough for the person next to me to hear. Eventually they picked up on it and said my guesses out loud and everyone thought they were getting them correct. Which was super fun to watch how it changed the dynamic of the room and she seemed to have a more relaxed time at the training.
