That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 05, 2020

“The area is earthquake prone, so the residents decided there was no point in maintaining it.”

“What brings you to this upper class area of the city?”

A little fixer-upper to occupy your spare time.

“Yep, we got a carpenter in town, but he ain’t got level, he ain’t got a plumb bob, and he ain’t got a lick of sense. You want his cell phone number?”

what happens when you build with chocolate in a hot climate…

Never was a fan of Zuha Hadid.

“Yes, this is the house that Jack built….How’d you know?”

“Hi stranger, welcome to Ricketyville.”

Yeah.

Dad didn’t own a level.

Or a square.

He was plumb crazy, to be honest.

But at least the roof don’t leak.

Didn’t get beyond the first level in that free, online game.

Welcome to Covid Renaissance Festival, 2020!

Later to become known as the town of Sweethaven.

We may look broken down, but we are ready Tyrol!

The guy on the donkey has just come back from a long trip, and asks ,“what happened to the town?It looks like a bomb went off!” The woman replied, “My husband broke wind.”

From a distance, it’s actually a very quaint, picturesque little village, but seen up close, you can see the filth on the walls and the sheets of mud everywhere. They call this town ‘Politics’

There was a crooked man who lived in a crooked house…..

REALTOR AND HIS DONKEY: You’re going to be so happy in your Ernst Ramshackle gated community home.

COUPLE: Gated? Where is it?

REALTOR: Brandenburg?* Gotta go!

How dare you bring that filthy animal into our lovely town!

Doesn’t look any worse than a real Gehry design.

Mar-a-Lago; staff housing.

Ok, final offer, my horse for the whole town, but you have to throw in an extra $10 too.

That’s right. He built it with his BARE HANDS! But he would have take a saw or hammer if someone had offered.

“Gracious country living can be yours in Oberniederlackengackenhausenheim !”

“… and living here you don’t have to deal with any of those stupid HOA restrictions.”

“This doesn’t look anything like what we saw when Mr. Potemkin brought us here on that tour.”

I’m sorry, but you must sign this ‘Beware of Falling Objects’ waiver, to pass through our town.

In Bedford Falls they had Potterville, we call this trumpville.

“We are really looking forward to the peaceful protests ending someday”.

See, when they say “the hills are alive” it isn’t just a song lyric. These guys really move!

Have you noticed a bit of a slump ?/ The town is a crumbling clump/ it’s the clear culmination/ of the deregulation/ enacted by minions of Tr…

But if you think we’re paying a price/ for indulging a narcissist’s vice/forget the pandemic/ and the tweeted polemic/ What if he’s “elected” twice ?

Now THAT is trolling. LOL.

you can’t go home again, you can but it’s not the same.

Should have used more metal.

Look… … When I said I wanted to get a horse for my wife I didn’t mean a trade!!! :>)

You can say what you want, but I think he did pretty good for a blind man.
