This place needs a lot of work. The acreage is a nice plus.

Here are some WTF pics

But the best part is the chapel.

@SplinterRIP & @Elliecoo can finally start their “cult

  1. The Portugal home must be a nightmare to paint. I’ve done stuff like that once… never again.

    I helped a friend paint her apartment (because I was stupid and (unrequited) in love with her.) She loved painting each room differently which lead to a strange argument over color we had. I suspect the paint clerk ended up laughing at us because we were jabbering over which was more “red”.

    It didn’t help we were engineering classmates. Yeah, damn engineers.

    • The Portugal house is fab. That tiling is called azulejo. Setubal is in the Algarve, which is Portugal’s version of the Riviera. The chapel is a nice touch. When I was growing up some of my friends lived in houses with portraits of JFK but no one had a full-blown chapel. If I owned that house I would install a trilingual priest (Portuguese, English, and Latin) and attend Mass daily. Of course I’d have to convert to Catholicism but that can’t be too difficult. Don’t you just need to be baptized and then maybe confirmed in the Catholic faith?

      Someone once told me that the Catholic Church frowns on cremation (my plan, when my time comes.) The thinking is that you should exit the earthly world the way you entered it, in the image of God. But there are no cemetery spaces left in Manhattan, so I’d be shipped off to the outer boroughs or the suburbs to be buried. No. Cremation. No fuss, no muss.

  2. We’re shearing sheep on the farm this weekend, so today I’m wrangling sheep up to the pens.  I have no time for nonsense.

    • Based on that guy’s coat, it seems only fair that the coats those sheep wear after they get sheared should be made of his harvested beard hair.

  3. This is the time of year that I envy California. I’m going snowshoeing next weekend, and these guys are already hitting the gravel/dirt roads in their foothills.

    • Ewww. Bakersfield. They could have filmed “Deliverance” there.

  4. …in no particular order

    …well, that’s my header image for sunday’s DOT sorted, then

    …keaton/pacino & dinklage/mclaine are a sure bet I’ll be watching two out of three…the sasquatch one…jury’s out…not really its fault…one of the endorsements said “must be seen to be believed…&…I’ve been burned that way by a movie with a bigfoot reference…so…twice shy

    …short version…a friend & I were…significantly inebriated…& mostly looking for something we wouldn’t feel required not talking over…& we came across a sam elliot effort called something like “the man who shot hitler and then bigfoot”…& thought…joke title, surely…plus sam elliot…sure…why not?

    …it was so bad we actually watched the entire thing waiting for the change-up that would explain why such a genuinely bad bit of cinema existed…but although made-for-MST3K seemed plausible neither of us has yet found an episode that used it…so…uh…don’t watch that one by mistake would be my advice

    …the one I’m hoping to get to sooner than later would be this, though

    • I can’t wait for American Fiction and hope it doesn’t trigger a brain aneurysm.
