Why do journalists ever think its ok to do an article on something that looks strange without putting a picture in the article? No matter how good you think your description skills are I WANT TO SEE A PICTURE!

Some sort of minimalist "while you were out" job?
 
2006-01-08 09:14:51 PM
For all we know he might have changed the paint color from "eggshell" to "ivory".
 
2006-01-08 09:14:54 PM
Pics? Who writes an article about something like this and doens't send the goddamn photographer out to get a pic? What editor runs it without a pic? What submitter links to an article....etc.

I mean, Compared to this guy, playing counterstrike online, and cruising Fark for hours looks constructive

plywoodjungle, after completing my Bill Frist-style diagnosis, I proclaim that you have the 12 o'clock news blues. Therefore, do not give up hope on the afternoon soaps and get another bottle of cold brew.

Believe it or not but there is a house about a half-mile from where i live that has each window-wood-trim painted a different color. The stucco is white.
 
2006-01-08 09:21:04 PM
Ugh... how the hell do you write a goddamned article about this and post it on the INTERNET without a picture? What does this person who wrote this article make a year? Wasted money.

\Ya know, the funny thing is, I've got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends. That is, as long as I'm buying.

Why are there two carriage returns after each sentence?

It's irritating to read.

Like this.

See?

I told you.

I think standing out from the crowd is just the result of someone being an attention whore.

Man with entirely too much time on his hands amuses himself by painting his house different colors when his wife isn't around

I thought that people with too much time on their hands amused themselves with Fark.com.

A very well writen article.
I didn't need a pic of the house.
 
2006-01-08 09:44:24 PM
What if he fell off the roof and left a big streak of color down the side?
 
2006-01-08 09:51:21 PM

That's what the follow up tag is for :-)

We had a house similiar to this guys in the town I grew up in. Only difference is he was the roller rink owner... at least we thought so since the rink got a hot new paint job right before his house did... all in pink, yellow, blue and green of the same hue.

Great for giving people directions!

My daughter thinks this looks cool. So do I.

Thank god there was a time buildings were normally sold without HOAs.

Looks a hell of a lot better than the apartment/condominium/townhouse/house subdivisions going up all around NOVA. The ones with big green transformers or whatever they are in front of each building. Yuck.

Not that this guy needs to justify how his house looks. To each his own. As Morgan Freeman said (as best as I recall) "Allah delights in wondrous diversity".
 
2006-01-08 10:27:59 PM
I think this guy is cool. I also think that fisthead is cool for calling people biatching about the lack of pics in the article dorx. It's short of inspirational, but I agree with the notion that the desire to reform needs to get kneed in the groin every so often. If it is possible to be simultaneously gaudy and classy, this guy has mastered it. digg++

/Oh, wait... where am I?
