Moving into a new house is an adventure for all of us. You never know what you might find, what remnants of the former inhabitants might still be lingering in the forgotten corners and drawers.

This week, newly elected President Obama and his family are getting used to their new digs at the White House. But, as with all incoming administrations, they have run across some lingering effects of the Bush administration, some intentional, others not so much. He’re a quick rundown of just a few of the more notable occurrences:

  1. The White House pantry was found fully stocked with franks and beans, pre-made PB&J sandwiches and Flintstones vitamins. The fridge had only juice boxes, Lunchables and string cheese.
  2. The back lawn has no brush whatsoever. None, anywhere.
  3. All keyboards are missing the “B” and “O.” When reached for comment, former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card said that this wasn’t because those letters where Barack Obama’s initials, but because B.O. stands for “body odor” and Bush giggled like a schoolboy every time he heard it.
  4. In the White House movie theater, a Girls Gone Wild DVD was left in the player. When Obama’s staff contacted Bush about it, he reportedly got very quiet, evasive and repeatedly claimed that it was not his, then hung up.
  5. The new White House groundskeepers were stunned to find out-of-work former Attorney General living in the equipment shed. When asked why he was found sleeping in a hammock above the weed-whackers, Gonzalez reportedly said, “I don’t recall.”
