Epic, in a Quaint Sort of Manner. . .


This is not a renovation hack job- it is an original construction hack job, which actually makes it worse.  It is a hack job that results from an original plan built from the ground up.  There were many moments when someone - anyone - could have looked at the plans and said "wtf?".  Only an epic commentary can fully explain the epic hackiness of this ole southern style diddy. . .

[pan to TECHNICIAN, sitting at controls with CAPTAIN nearby.]
TECHNICIAN:  Captain!  We have a problem with the InstaHome 9000!
CAPTAIN:  What in hell, man?!
TECHNICIAN:  I don't know, sir!  I must have set incorrect parameters in the symmetry tabulation field!
CAPTAIN:  Sweet Mary, look at this mess!  There is no symmetry at all!  How can you mess up just evenly placing openings on a large rectangle?!
TECHNICIAN:  *sobbing* I don't know!  It is just my first day!
CAPTAIN:  Well it will be your last!  Out of here now!
[TECHNICIAN exits]
CAPTAIN:  *looking at image on monitor - pensively to himself while slowly shaking head*  My God...even the asymmetry is asymmetrical.  How could this happen?  Never again...never again.
