The House on the Rock is the most twisted tourist attraction I have ever visited. I loved it so much, that that's where I proposed to Heather (in the Carousel Room).

The Heritage of the Sea room features a model of a sea monster ("as long as the Statue of Liberty is tall") battling a giant squid, while a music machine plays a calliope-sounding version of "Octopus' Garden". The walls are lined with over a hundred ships models, most of which are several feet long.

Yes... But one would have to go to Wisconsin.

Actually, it is in Wisconsin. So you can go.

Whoops. Yep.

Good memories of Wisconsin and I will share them all with you here:

1. The nicest freeway rest stop I have ever visited was in Wisconsin.
2. Otherwise all I remember about Wisconsin is that it was dark from midnight to about 4 a.m. while we drove through it.

I really enjoyed visiting the Safe House in Milwaukee. Fun bar/restaurant

Capt Jack · 06-13-2007, 07:39 PM

yes, was my car.

1966 coupe with a bench seat. sweet car. almost bone stock except the rims. /sigh

my best friend since gradeschool had one when we were growing up. as people are known to do, he had a son (two, but its the eldest in this story). his son was surely his fathers child and had an instant love for cars...specifically mustangs like his fathers.

I had this one. at the age of 8, he told me he would buy my car when he turned driving age and asked me how much I wanted. I said "sure" and pulled some number out of my &*%# and watched his eyes bug out at the thought.

ahead 8 years...no mention of that conversation ever arises

I go over for his 16th birthday party. he takes me aside telling me he wanted to talk to me.
grinning like a cheshire cat, he hands me, in cash, the amount I said 8 years before. nice fat stack of $100 bills and says "I want my car"

how could I not sell it to him?

...and yeah, Pearl is loud as *(%$ and fast as 773H

Cool story - I am glad someone who truly wanted it ended up with it!

MouseWife · 06-13-2007, 10:50 PM

I agree with Kevy Baby, great that you did sell it to him. Probably a dream come true for him.

And just the rims aren't stock? Damn, I also knew a family who had a 'fleet' of Mustangs. Even a 1964 1/2 one. Aren't those rims called 'Centerlines' or something like that? I remember my friend would say 'That's what I'm getting for my car, yep, that's what I'm getting'. I don't think she ever did, though.

Does the boy still have it? And is it still hot?

And my Mickey floor lamp arrived today. I just finished assembling it. Neener neener.
