On my morning bike ride there’s this great house among the glimpses of suburbia that I get from the bush track. It looks so bizarrely out of place among the brick veneer and fake Federation that I can’t imagine what its builders were thinking…
Violet Towne doesn’t quite understand why I’m so enamoured of it, but then she doesn’t see it like I do…

It reminds me of the quote: “Life? It’s that funny thing that happens to you on the way to the cemetery.”
Hope Miss Kitty doesn’t end up there!

Joey: Ah, Dark Shadows! How fond of it were we? I have the complete boxed set of the original series…
King Willy: Miss Kitty just got two thumbs up for all vital signs.
It is haunted!
Gee, I’d never have thought of that myself, Malach! Where DO you get your funny ideas?
Anaglyph: Just turnip the other cheek, brother.
I’d move in tomorrow, but I would paint it black with bright pink trim. Then ad a herd of plastic pink flamingos out front. (In a tasteful arrangement of course.) Yup, that would be my dream home.
You think a water fountain out front would be to much? Over the top maybe?
That house needs a belfry for the bats -nothing fancy, just a nice three- or four- story bell tower on one side.
And yes, some pink flamingos on the lawn.
Very cool pic. That’s how half of me see’s it as well.
MI: A fountain over the top after the other stuff? Um. I don’t think that’s possible…
Colonel: Yes, I concur about the belfry. Not a lot of call for them these days, but sorely missing in suburbia. I’m still not sure about the flamingos. What if we painted them black and arranged them around a rotting carcass?
JAK: Aha. And I see that half posts with the appropriate avatar…
Oh, I see how it is. Reply to everyone but me. THANKS A LOT, ASSHOLE.
I thought yours was self-explanatory. A bad pun, sure, but hardly worth commenting in the light of your usual record.
You love my puns and you know it. :-D
THANKS A LOT, ASSHOLE.
I aint talkin t you necesarily, Revrend. I jus dont want some asshole evr sayin I dont thank im enough.
Black Flamingos of Death?
Perfect.
The freshly turned earth at the front looks suspicious Rev, I suggest you start your dig there. See how long it takes for a cadaver to appear.
In fact if you get hold of a council workers kit, you could have a right old field day. Or Telstra uniform maybe – you know you love them, and you could actually install a cable while you’re at it – what an odd thought.
Yes I think you might be looking at Melbourne’s own Rillington place, and after the scandal breaks it’ll be dirt cheap, a real bargain. Of course you could place your own body there as well to speed up the process, or Malach’s body in fact – I’m sure he’ll continue to post after he’s dead – so it’s the perfect cover.
Yes I like the idea, hop to it, the Queen and I are always looking to upgrade the accommodation on our southern peregrinations, and so far you’ve been a good chap what with the new kitchen and all, but this will take it to the next level. Yes a suitable new headquarters for the ministry – it looks like a proper HQ – no doubt about it. Can’t wait to see the crypt too, I’m sure it has one, and you know how much you’ve always wanted a crypt Rev…

Oh and if you need bats these fellows have a few suggestions.

Atlas: >>You love my puns and you know it. :-D
Let me stick my head in a vice. Aaaaaah. Much better.
Joey: Assholes of the world take note.
Colonel: I’m starting to like that…
King Willy: Judging by the cars usually parked out the front (white vans) it’s definitely the abode of serial killers.
Looks rather “Bagdad’ish”. Almost palace like.
It is haunted!
Oh wait, somebody already pointed that out.
Never mind.
lahru: Maybe that explains the white vans.
mike: It IS haunted! You’re right! OMG!
