highlights: "Bald touches" - Are Your Listing Remarks Missing by a Hair? - 01/27/12 02:39 AM

Yes, it's Friday, and the Blooper Scooper is back. When you see some of the gaffes I found this week, you may want to shave your own head in protest. Check out these hysterical faux pas, friends:
Please tell me it’s a joke… “Park at Kim’s Wart” ( Uh, not so fast - is there a hair growing out of it?)
“Blow-up sale” (Did this occur before or after you blew up your career?)”
“Electriiciity now on” (My gut says you tested the outlets with a fork.)
“Key hidden under matt” (I can only imagine where Matt’s keyhole is…)
“Dont hasittate” (Don’t drink Nyquil.)
Please tell … (43 comments)

“The Ring Leader”

Follows larger than life wedding planner, KRISTIN BANTA, whose out-of-the-box style is revolutionizing the way couples look at their special day.
Hip, hysterical, and artistic beyond the limits of imagination.
Yes, friends, she's my darling daughter, so forgive a mother's pride...and please tune in. She's beautiful, hysterical, and soooo talented. No, none of it came from me - I just popped her out and raised her on martinis, the Stones, and John Irving. Okay, maybe it was I who was drinking the martinis. I can't … (35 comments)

highlights: "Call first if bad wetter" - Making a Splash on The MLS - 05/20/11 02:21 PM

I have concluded that proofreading is officially obsolete. In fact, reading itself may have gone the way of the corset. Word is out that I am prowling about trying to catch MLS offenders, but they fear me not. In fact, they are becoming fragrant. Uh, I mean flagrant.
Thanks to Fred Glick of sunny Philadelphia and L.A.'s own Jane Peters for collecting some of this great flotsam and jetsam.  Check out these bloopers:
Off With Their Heads!
"Twilight Open. RSVP. Light sinner served." (Hosted by King Henry VIII, I presume.)
"Wood-brning stoned fireplace" (Bridge-burning stoned agent.)
"Needed: Property shower" (Offered by Scrub-Yo'-Back Realty.)

highlights: Hoops And Corn Dogs – The Phenomenon Of Hoosier Hysteria - 03/29/11 03:22 PM

The NCAA and March Madness
If ever there was a time to try to explain the effects of March Madness on Indiana, it is now. For those of you who have not been reading the paper, watching television, or listening to the whoops echoing over the entire Midwest, you have missed out on a phenomenon known as HOOSIER HYSTERIA. Yes, the Hoosier State of Indiana LOVES basketball. And who is better suited to provide Hoosiers - and the world - with heart-stopping basketball but the mighty Butler University Bulldogs?
Cinderella Goes To The ball
Although Indiana, birthplace of basketball great … (28 comments)

highlights: "Xtra Pot Available" - Mellow Yellow Real Estate - 01/14/11 04:04 PM

There's a party going on, and somehow - thanks to the MLS - we all got invited. Call me mellow yellow, but is there a strange skunk-like smell in the room?  Be careful reading this - you may get a contact high:
The Brownies Taste Strange, and The Party Is Just Getting Started...
"Dining area w/ baguette" (For buyers who are well-bread, from someone who's half-baked.)
"Please keep kennel shat" (I have no choice - it's on my shoe.)
"Frosty glass touches" (Let me guess - a corncob pipe and a button nose?)
"Bonk beds included" (Hmmm...throw in a hot guy, … (16 comments)

highlights: Promises, Promises! (Resolutions of a Reprobate) - 01/07/11 08:48 PM

Aaaraugh! This is the time of year when we are faced with New Year's resolutions, and I am hopelessly stumped. I try to set the bar low for myself, as I am notorious at tripping over the line within minutes of heralding the new year. I cannot stick to diets, and gym plans are about as realistic for me as a martini fast. However, I will hesitantly commit to the following improvements:
1. I will not tell a client who lights up in my car that I'm sure she'll sound sexy when she has to speak through a hole in her throat.
2. I will not reassure … (19 comments)

highlights: Spotlight on AR's Own Sizzling Rockstar! - 12/03/10 03:05 PM
 

Hey everyone - you MUST check out a great blog I just discovered. It's written by AR's own MATT STIGLIANO  Matt is not only a great writer and real estate agent, but he is a former (and in his words, "recovering") rock-n-roll star. He's the true article, and you will love his site...and his insights. 
Matt describes his life on the road as a member of the Bloodhound Gang: "We built a reputation as moronic cretins with a penchant for sexual innuendo and a thirst for Jägermeister."
His posts explore the craziness, the thirst for normalcy (as a chaser to … (14 comments)
