I Could See This Happening On Bend's West Side

Sad: Bay-Area couple pays a "bargain" $525,000 for a fixer-upper home in an area where the homes run an average of $755.000.
Bad: The home was 870 square feet.
Crap: It totally collapsed during renovations.

Come on, Jake... you totally stole the Fark line, 6 hours after they posted it! You can do better, my friend! :)

And we thought the housing market in Bend was causing home prices to skyrocket.. I can't imagine paying half a million dollars for a house with cardboard walls!

Oh come on, Burton -- I reworded mine a bit (in reality, I saw the story elsewhere before seeing it on Fark -- where I then stole the headline idea a bit).

And if you'll notice that I posted that post at 11:22 PM -- I was frickin' tired and that was as creative as I could get ;-)

So everybody, proper credit for this goes to the creative dudes at fark (who have a whole zillion people that submit stories and write headlines).
