Paco Enterprises Responds to the Mortgage Crisis

Are you one of those people who, through no fault of your own, purchased an overpriced house with no money down that you couldn’t afford, and are now facing foreclosure? Did you max out on your equity line under the spell of HGTV propaganda and pour tens of thousands of dollars into remodeling your kitchen in hopes of selling your house, only to find out that marble composites have replaced granite as the countertop du jour, and that the sheriff is not leaving your front porch until you accept the eviction papers? Then Paco Enterprises has good news for you!

Never behind time in grasping the handle on the gravy bowl of taxpayer largesse, Paco Enterprises is pleased to report that some of that stimulus cabbage has been earmarked to assist you in buying a new house: the Paco Cube. That’s right, a sprawling three square meters of sumptuous living space, with shower and toilet, and a pop-up lid for ventilation. Buy a second one and use it for a home office, where you can sit in complete peace and quiet while mulling over your next brilliant investment. And when it’s time to hand in your dinner pail, you can even be buried in it! (Also currently in development, a slightly smaller version called the Yes-We-CAN).

Stack enough of those cubes, and one could get Soviet-style apartment complexes in no time at all!

We can call 'em...Obamavilles.

And at $68,000 each, the price would be about right*, too.

Course, there are a lot of much larger foreclosed homes that are available for that amount of cash.

*Must be using union labor.

Did I mention that SwampMan and I built a dinky little 750 SF cabin out of concrete block complete with kitchen, full bath, and open floor plan and a HUGE hay barn for way less* than that on the Georgia farm?

*If we didn't include our labor.

Snortheim?

Not Major Snortheim? The one from Istanbul? "Firebug of the Bosporus"?

Surely not.

Described as "three square metres" by the originating site, they're actually three metres square -- or nine square metres.

That's qualuity reporting!

Here's an idea, put wheels on it and tow it behind your pickup.
