dicksbro,

At more than $135 million - Jeeze, I dunno. That'd max out my cedit cards for sure!

We'll borrow from PF's petty cash jar and rename it Lilith's Castle.

Oldfart,

"Lilith's Castle" ...

Hmmm ... has potential ... Do you think she could fix up the the basement?

Multi-level discomfort for discerning masochists.

It *is* beautiful - and right in the midst of my grandfather's home town. :) I'd like to go there someday.

And yes, folks....my grandfather was Transylvanian. :yikes:

Was his accent terrifying to his grandkids?

Well, a girl in college nicknamed my phallus Vlad the Impaler.

But seriously, I sooooo love the Castlevania line of video games, and play them obsessively, and by extension I love old world vampire/undead myths too and read/tell them obsessively.

I can just imagine the fun I would have with that place. I mean if I had that kind of money, it's safe to bet I'd have enough to not only never have to work the rest of my life, but also purchase a carte blanche from the local government. I wonder if I will get all the peasants too? To do with as I please.

Oh please, I really want a bunch of peasants to own. I totally promise I won't make an army of zombies or anything unless I get really, really bored.

Does the price include the children of the night and the music they make? Transylvania was famous for another night dweller; the famous photographer BRASSAI.
