		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to an easy round of bonus points for this December&#8217;s Reader Appreciation Contest.
Offbeat has featured some outstanding architects. Sometimes though, the architects we meet here aren&#8217;t as popular as other featured guests. Probably because this is Offbeat Homes and not Architectural Digest.
That&#8217;s fine. I am partial to the architects because they mastermind such visions of delight for us all to see but I get that sometimes other people can be fun. That said we had a very popular non-architect guest here at Offbeat Homes back in August 2007.
Who was it?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Welcome to an easy round of bonus points for this <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/the-offbeat-homes-december-contest/">December&#8217;s Reader Appreciation Contest</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Offbeat has featured some outstanding architects. Sometimes though, the architects we meet here aren&#8217;t as popular as other featured guests. Probably because this is Offbeat Homes and not <a href="Architectural Digest">Architectural Digest</a>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s fine. I am partial to the architects because they mastermind such visions of delight for us all to see but I get that sometimes other people can be fun. That said we had a very popular <strong>non-architect</strong> guest here at Offbeat Homes back in August 2007.</p>
<p><strong>Who was it?</strong></p>
<p>A. One of the stars of the X-Files television series</p>
<p>B. An HGTV Design Star Contestant</p>
<p>C. A Food Network Star Challenge Contestant</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the deal.</strong></p>
<p>You get 5 points for the correct guess of A, B, or C.</p>
<p>You get 5 more points for knowing that person&#8217;s name (don&#8217;t worry I&#8217;m not spell checking).</p>
<p><strong>Why are these the easiest bonus points ever?</strong></p>
<p>Well, obviously once someone leaves the correct answer you can all just copy &#8212; if you trust the judgment of other player. I said the next bonus points would be easy.</p>
<p>However, I don&#8217;t want it to be too easy so why not guess which of the above: A, B, or C that I&#8217;d really love to have here if I could. You get it right and I&#8217;ll throw in <strong>an extra 5 points</strong> for you. I&#8217;ve been loosely keeping track and some of you are close point wise so these bonus points might make it or break it for you.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll be back to leave my own comment with the answer in a few days; <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/ten-contest-bonus-points-guess-my-favorite-offbeat-structure/">just like the last bonus post</a>. Once I comment your luck has run out. So guess away.  </strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[So, all the regulars just spit coffee out their nose because frankly what house isn&#8217;t my favorite? I think my most used Offbeat phrases include:

&#8220;My favorite house today&#8221; 
&#8220;My favorite building ever&#8221;  
&#8220;I&#8217;m so in love with this house&#8221;
&#8220;My future home&#8221;  
&#8220;This structure has to be the most amazing I&#8217;ve ever seen!&#8221;

The sad part is I&#8217;m never kidding. I do fall in love so many structures &#8212; I could never really narrow it down below twenty favorites. Even when there&#8217;s a structure I don&#8217;t like I tend to at least like one thing about it.
Therefore if you want [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com">Blisstree</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, all the regulars just spit coffee out their nose because frankly what house isn&#8217;t my favorite? I think my most used Offbeat phrases include:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>&#8220;My favorite house today&#8221; </em></li>
<li><em>&#8220;My favorite building ever&#8221;  </em></li>
<li><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m so in love with this house&#8221;</em></li>
<li><em>&#8220;My future home&#8221;  </em></li>
<li><em>&#8220;This structure has to be the most amazing I&#8217;ve ever seen!&#8221;</em></li>
</ul>
<p>The sad part is I&#8217;m never kidding. I do fall in love so many structures &#8212; I could never really narrow it down below twenty favorites. Even when there&#8217;s a structure I don&#8217;t like I tend to at least like one thing about it.</p>
<p>Therefore if you want <strong>ten bonus points</strong> for the <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/the-offbeat-homes-december-contest/">Offbeat December Contest</a> it&#8217;s going to be easier to guess <strong>my least favorite home</strong>. Below I&#8217;m going to post four structures. This one will be easy for long-time Offbeat readers; really it should even be easy for newer offbeat readers. I&#8217;m so giving this away. To learn more about a structure (i.e. get a clue) click on the photo.</p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/seriously-lust-worthy-lundberg-design-house/#comment-26270">Lundberg Design House</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/seriously-lust-worthy-lundberg-design-house/#comment-26270"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/seriously-lust-worthy-lundberg-design-house/#comment-26270"><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/12/favorite-or-not.jpg" alt="favorite-or-not.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2. This home looks dull but inside&#8230; <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-home-for-sale-want-wood-paneling/">an offbeat wonder</a> awaits.  </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-home-for-sale-want-wood-paneling/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-home-for-sale-want-wood-paneling/"><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/12/wood-panel-home.jpg" alt="wood-panel-home.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/current-obsession-the-camouflage-house/">The Camouflage House</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/current-obsession-the-camouflage-house/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/current-obsession-the-camouflage-house/"><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/12/favorite-or-not-2.jpg" alt="favorite-or-not-2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-hot-qa-with-architect-bart-prince/">The Height Residence</a> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-hot-qa-with-architect-bart-prince/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-hot-qa-with-architect-bart-prince/"><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/12/favorite-or-not-4.jpg" alt="favorite-or-not-4.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Alright, three of these Offbeat structures I&#8217;m in a current state of ongoing bliss about and there is one here that&#8217;s cool but I could more or less live without it.</p>
<p>Is <strong>my least favorite home</strong> 1, 2, 3, or 4? Leave a comment with your guess. I&#8217;ll check the comments in a few days and give my answer so you have until then to guess. If you&#8217;re right I&#8217;ll hand you ten bonus points. If you&#8217;re wrong we&#8217;ll have an easier bonus point post next week so no worries.</p>
