This guy’s brilliant…

I just found this hilarious site via Shelterrific and spent the last hour looking it through from top to bottom. “It’s Lovely, I’ll Take it!” is a site dedicated to some of the more questionable choices home selllers make in photographing and listing their houses, including terrible, blurry pictures that don’t really show anything about the house, evidence of obsessive-compulsive behavior, dirty bathrooms (with the unflushed toilet in the frame) and rooms that have clearly just had a frat party roll in through them. I mean, really, would it take that long to pick up the trash a little before snapping the pic? And what’s with the giant dog?

From Adam’s most recent Twitter update:

“For sale: 1 slightly used 15″ crt monitor. Has only been on the front curb of my driveway in the rain once.”

…to think this was a good idea?

And, being boys, I heard this conversation shortly after:

“Okay, Adam, sit down it’s your turn.”
“But that looked like it really hurt!”
“Yeah, it did, A LOT! Sit down…”
“Okay…”

which resulted in this:

Of course, the chief reason these hilarities ensued was likely due to the ball game and drinking too much of this:

One small keg, six people, dry by 3am. .

Like all great ideas from the depths of Colin’s consciousness, this one was born of many, many, many glasses of beer and a conversation that was way too serious for the current blood alcohol saturation level. Back in October of last year a pact was entered into by Colin and Adam to embark on a great baseball quest (searching for….?) this season, and the first stage took place just over a week ago. Inexpertly titled “A Cacophony of Epiphanies,” the rules, as outlined by a fading Adam and Colin on that fateful October night, are outlined at the end of this post. And near incomprehensible.

 

The quest was officially started with a trip to The SkyDome on Retro Jersey night. 12 of our closest friends, a few questionable baby-blue retro jersey purchases, a two-day Rock Band marathon (with some actual guitar playing thrown in for fun)  and a mini-keg for the 6 of us left at the end of the adventure sure made this crazy idea seem kinda logical as we all had a great weekend. More pictures can be seen here, and here (the second set is Adam’s).

 

The Official Rules are listed after the jump, for anyone interested.

For some reason it has this library of really dorky photo frames you can use on pictures taken on the phone, such as this fantastic one I used to turn the feline Hoover, Ollie, into a wild west gunslinger.

Before you get mad at Colin for being mean to Ollie, I have to tell you that Ollie actually likes this, and comes back for more. Well, Ollie likes anything when he gets a treat at the end.

Chantelle: “Why is everything cuter when it’s sleeping?”

Colin: “Because then it can’t hurt you.”

4-and-a-half foot snowbanks are no deterrent to outdoor barbecuing in February.
