I thought he was linking it in response to Morfiend's "Because we hate freedom" post, but it's Sir T, so I dunno.

This is a slideshow of a megamansion in Georgia. The first pictures aren't very funny but as it progresses and goes deeper and deeper into this monstrosity the amusement begins. They have been trying to sell it for seventeen years (each year costing one million in upkeep) at a price of 40million. An additional punchline is that it recently sold for "only" 7.5million and the new owner plans on bulldozing the whole thing. My personal favourites:

I like the gardens. The house is precisely what I'd expect from people with a shit load of cash and no taste at all.

I agree on the gardens. Those looked rather nice. That house.. it needed one style and it might have been bearable if overdone. Instead it looked like they choose a bunch of different influences and just mushed them into sections of the mansion and called it a day.
Too bad whoever bought it is probably going to raze the house just to split the property into smaller lots and it'll become the "Dean Acres" subdivision or something. 58 acres by a river.. that's a serious chunk of land.

How the hell do you build an amphitheater and a vagina bed, but not the world's biggest hedge maze? I'm all about the hedge mazes.

Tyler Perry bought it so it will either be the Tyler Perry Mansion designed by Tyler Perry presented by Tyler Perry or Tyler Perry Acres on Tyler Perry Lane brought to you by Tyler Perry. |

I'm confused as to why you'd need a sack to jump. Still, nothing like a good faceplant to chase away the blues.

Not from the US, Paelos? The "Potato Sack Race" is a children's activity in the US, traditionally associated with local fairs and school "field days" (days where normal classes are suspended and the kids are sent outside to engage in organized play). More popular in rural areas than cities, but still quite common.

You forgot to mention though, that sack races are normally held outdoors mostly in a grassy field, and not necessarily on a hardwood floor. |

The only logical purpose of the sack, if you really think about it, is to lead to the inevitable face plant seen above. Which may also explain why you see this activity performed chiefly in rural areas. |

I'm from Texas originally, but I have heard of the sack race. I just didn't make that connection. Still, the idea of actively putting yourself in a sack during the Texas heat? Pass.

'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.
