Probably “his” and “hers” bathrooms in the master suite?
This is, after all, a house designed for entertaining.
(The extra full bath is probably the one in the pool house)
I haven’t. What strange delights have they prepared for their guests?
Indeed. That was lovely. I think the wingwalker toward the end was a bit over the top, but the rest of the tribute was excellent.
Plus, you’re not out the replacement cost of my keyboard, because I remembered to lean back before I started drooling during the video…
Nah, that’s the guest pool. It doubles as a toilet for the main house.
Edinburgh … the most unfortunate of places.
… Them’s fighting words!
I agree that it’s cool–and more than just kinda.
People spend fortunes and time building model train layouts, dollhouses, and all sorts of other things. This strikes me as a bigger-than-HO-scale version of that same hobby–and is certainly a less harmful way of spending the money than, say, donating it to a Republican’s reelection war chest. I’m for a world with more whimsy than less, even if the whimsy’s expensive sometimes.
and a miniature town in the basement
I thought it would be “miniature” like for hobbits
What kind of freak watches Mary Poppins followed by the Exorcist?
You never know. When I was helping my newlywed bride move into our new home many years ago, I remember carrying a box of her VHS movies and seeing a copy of “The Sound of Music” next to a film called “Cuckoo for Cocoa Cock”. True story.
And throwing cobblestones.
Why would you not want to have a very cool, different basement than the ordinary crap out there?
I assume they’re throwing drunken parties down there and it’s all basically wallpaper
I mean, the alternative is some rich person got lonely and wished they lived in the city so they could walk around downtown with their friends, and instead of buying a condo they built an entire fake downtown in their basement
That’s like Winchester Mystery House level crazy
I totally misread the title of this post as Marilyn Mansion’s Mansion …
Yeah, probably a whole different vibe going on in that basement.
I was going to give the movie theater marquee a pass as it could be a local theater showing old movies, but the WWI era bonds poster at the post office really messed it all up. If you’re going to be building a main street in your basement, pick a time period and stick with it people!
Right?
That would be much more interesting, I bet…
Just out of curiosity I googled “Marilyn Manson Basement” and got this quote:
“My grandfather had been the ugliest, darkest, foulest, most depraved figure of my childhood, more beast than human, and I had grown up to be him, locked in the basement with my secrets as the rest of the family reveled in the petty and ordinary upstairs. Down there, I saw my black, ancient, ineluctable core exposed, like a crab forced out of its shell–dirty, vulnerable, and obscene. For the first time in my life, I was truly alone.” ― Marilyn Manson, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell
I think we’ve found Dick Cheney’s “undisclosed location” from all those years ago.
