Who Wants to Live in Keokuk, Iowa?


If you do, well, you can't buy this house. This Victorian mansion's already been done sold on eBay to Bidder #2 for a measly 120K. Sorry. Sure, it was advertised as being "virtually unchanged since the 1800's..." but those 2.5 inches of side yard and that huge gaudy "pitcher window" renovation were enough to turn me off, so I didn't personally suffer too bad a case of Buyer's Remorse ( 'specially considering I didn't know nothin' about the auction or nothin'). A nice touch: Since the seller was on sour terms with the former owner of the property and you had questions, "she would probley talk to anyone else about it."

Had I won the auction and purchased the house, here's a local job I found:

No commission? That's horseshit!!!!!!!You're right, Mr. President: The economy is thriving.

Thank goodness I didn't win that auction. Or hear about it in the first place. I'm a shitty cashier.
