"15 Mid-Century Modern Dream Homes that will Kill Your Children"

[james_davis_nicoll]

Generally I am not keen on a lot of 20th architecture but some of these are quite nice.

The clean lines, the geometric decorative elements, the seamless blending of indoor and outdoor space… I sure do love mid-century modern architecture.

Do you know what I love more? My children. And that is why I will never live in my MCM dream home. Because mid-century modern architecture is designed to KILL YOUR CHILDREN. (Also, moderately clumsy or drunk adults).

Maintaining the over-wrought tone appears to have gotten to be a bit of a strain about halfway down the page. Puts me in mind of the Gallery of Regrettable Food. But it ends sooner, so the author doesn't get as far into puerility.

Yeah, as much as I love Lileks... all too often he doesn't know when to stop.

September 10, 2011 would have been a good bet.

I gave up on him long before that... back when he switched from writing a journal to having a blog.
