Good heavens man!
If anyone was foolish enough to let me enter that little slice of xanadu, oxen could not drag me hence.

It's wonderful... but what is it? A museum? Or has someone merely made a house based on designs taken from my head?

That cannon looks remarkably similar to the one used by Buster Keaton in "The General"!

From http://www.thehouseontherock.com ... During the 1940's, a man named Alex Jordan discovered a 60-foot chimney of rock in the beautiful Wyoming Valley. It was here he decided to build a house on the sandstone formation called Deer Shelter Rock. Jordan built the house as a weekend retreat and never intended it to be a tourist attraction. However, people kept coming to see the architectural wonder they had heard about. Jordan eventually started asking for 50 cent donations. That was only the beginning. The 14-room house is the original structure of what is now a complex of many buildings, exhibits and garden displays. Alex was a collector all his life and enjoyed visiting museums; however, he did not want The House on the Rock to be a museum. He intended it to be much more than that. Though parts of the collections could have easily found their way into museums, The House on the Rock is more of a trip through the wild and fantastic imagination of Alex Jordan than a visit to a dusty, lifeless museum. In December of 1988, Alex sold The House on the Rock to longtime associate Art Donaldson, a collector and a businessman who shared his broad interests. Alex remained at The House on the Rock as Artistic Director until his death on November 6, 1989. Art Donaldson continues to own The House on the Rock and builds on Alex's dream of expanding and entertaining visitors from all over the world. Alex continues to be in his own words, "Present but not voting". JIT |

For those times when you don't know... "Will it be a gun fight or a knife fight? Maybe I'll just need to punch someone."  |

It is wrong for that drawing pin in the knife-gun-knuckle duster picture to annoy me?

How on earth did you obtain pictures of my house? Yes, yes...it is mine...
*digs out house-hijacking salvaging equipment*
...soon enough!
*is running in place, as a servant has me by the tails of my coat*
I'm saving at least one of those photos...wow.
