Our Next Grog Fortress

[MetalDog]

So you're more worried about what you are going to get out of this?  ;)


That's a pretty defensible looking position.  We could probably be starved out, but, it would be hellacious trying to dig us out of there.

I need a wizard's tower.

[LongBlade]

Who doesn't?

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

A Wizard who is already in his tower!

[LongBlade]

Heh.

Just as an aside, do you realize, that between the two of them, Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee are a combined 167 years old?  And born two days apart.  McKellen on May 25 and Lee on May 27.

Ah. I understand.

You just bought one of these properties as a surprise Christmas gift for the forums.

I thank you in advance.

If purchasing an island fortress is what you inferred from giving out Gandalf and Saruman's combined age, then I would please like to take some of what you are on ;)

Thats in Denmark right NeXT to Copenhagen. Do you know how terrible the weather is half the time ? And the taxes man, here you have to pay property taxes so those alone would be in the neighbourhood of $400,000 a year.

$400k is a lot of tricks for Gus to turn....

he would have to change his name to Chunnel.

It could make a nice summer fortress.  But we'd still need a winter fortress, and a yacht (crewed by hotties to carry us back and forth).

This is what I'm talking about:



and this would be the yacht:



and the crew:

Well, that island in Denmark is mostly underground so weather isn't really a concern.

Star, Gus, and Mirth will be the Social Committee so we won't have to worry much.

And we'll have minions whom we can dispatch to fetch more liquor and beer.

I'm not seeing much of a problem with it.

I do like 40's suggestion of a winter palace just for a change of scenery but I'd prefer to have some castle walls or a mote to keep the zombies out.

400K in property taxes is still less than my ridiculous NY property tax , which just went up again.
