Simpsons house

Wow, this is a "real" Simpsons house via Merlin. The photographer brantastic writes -

sara and i passed this house in whycocomagh on our way to cape breton island, and were both like, "what the h3ll? STOP THE CAR." and we turned around and took pictures in some family's front yard. when the lady who owns the house poked her head out, we apologized, but she said she didn't mind that we were there.

it turns out she'd made all of these wooden simpsons cutouts herself, from scratch, as a surprise for her son who was graduating from high school. she told us that he'd worked really hard and only took breaks to watch the simpsons. how awesome is that? they were such great quality, really impeccable likenesses. we were really impressed, and had so much fun walking around taking pictures of everything. it was such a neat thing to see these characters smack dab in the middle of the real world. it made for some really interesting shots!

My house :)

So amazed to find this. My mother made these for my brother Jarvis Googoo, who had just graduated with his Law Degree at Dalhousie Law School. My mother worked real hard making these, its great to see her acknowledged and to see that sooo many ppl all over the place love them. Everyday I look out on the yard, theres so many people stopping in to look and take pictures, just wonderful. Even after the sun is down, I notice people's flashes from the cameras going at 10-11 at night sometimes. Just amazing :) Thank u for posting the picture. :)
