The Home Crowd

Duck Hunt, the leading sign that your lawn has gotten beyond your control…

At 9 feet high, and 15 feet wide, it just may need to be stretched across two walls as shown above.  At that size, you could park your car on it quite comfortably.  It’s 250 bucks from Urban Collector – Link, and who knows, maybe if they release the original trilogy in giant wall decals, you could potentially wallpaper your entire living/great room.  Your friends/spouses/loved ones may never let you live it down, but that’s the price you pay for awesomeness I suppose. ..at least it’s not star trek.

Cool ad, but how great would this be?

• Clean up is only a water hose, and squeegee away
• Child-proofing is a non-issue
• Moving away is simple.  Deflate, fold, pack and go!

I don’t suppose every homeowner’s association would appreciate the color scheme.

However, this might just be the type of temporary housing that should replace the toxic FEMA trailers.

• Floods? -  They Float!, enjoy the ride.
• Earthquake? – Unintentional bouncing in the bounce house.
• Hurricane? – Deflate, run for the hills… Do not nail plywood to the windows.
• Tornado? – Pray that you land on a wicked witch, possibly munchkins too.

This has no educational or informative value at all, but it’s pretty hilarious as we all know that Japanese people are at the forefront of thinking outside the box of nonsensical craziness. Very awesome as well. Who needs base isolators on their high rise apartment building during an earthquake, when your building’s legs take the shock like a dog on a trampoline full of kids…

I wonder what the overnight guest policy is?

And since I’ve already mentioned it, and still have the Youtube tab open, here’s the obligatory video of a dog on a trampoline…

What can I say? Dog loves his balloon.

I’m not even sure where I came across this, likely saved from one of those e-mails that are forwarded again and again.  But it’s both hilarious and impressive.  Seems like there’s a couple of access points, likely from the garage and also that fake boulder in the yard.  I’m sure under one of the neighboring boulders, you’ll find a spare key to the house.  And what is that?  Is that a vault door?

And what a terrible choice for a garden.  No wonder they hid it underground, no flowers to speak of.  They must have hidden their “garden” to avoid their friends and neighbors laughing at them.  However, after the homeowner was put away, for what I’m certain would be an extremely long sentence, I’d love to see what happened to their subterranean getaway.  More than likely, it was filled in, but with a little proper reinforcement, I’m sure it could find another use.

• Home theater? (Crank up that movie as loud as you want, gophers can’t complain, if anything, they up and move away…. Double bonus!)
• Kids play room? (Oh no, not completely unsupervised, get one of those security cameras!  See anything hilarious?  Save and upload to Youtube)
• Guest room? (For unwanted guests!  And just to punctuate the point, keep a proper guest room in the house, with windows and proper ventilation and heating and such, yet dump your unwanted guest underground.  Next time, they’ll find a proper hotel.)

• Game room? (Oh no, not pinball and billiards, we’re talking archery, paintball, indoor shooting range.  You know?  All the fun things you’d do in your backyard if not for the neighbors having you arrested.)

Hmm… I’m not sure how they got caught, but I’d definitely be tipped off if someone happened to purchase 200 white buckets from the hardware store.

He might as well, it doesn’t seem as if he’ll be driving anywhere soon.

After recent rains near the Illinois river. Good thing is, he built on a high spot.
