@Emerald63: Oh, Milton the Monster was a sweetheart - Professor Weirdo accidentally dropped the whole container of Tenderness into the mix (Kook probably jogged his arm). Why I couldn't have used those brain cells for storing something useful like laws of sines and cosines I'll never know. I second the Win to Frodo! Boy, that could explain a lot.

Six drops of the Essence of Terror
Five drops of Sinister Sauce…

Now all of us must take that creepy
trip to Horror Hill
Beware of the dangers along the way or
you may take a spill…

… I dunno, it just came back to me as I looked at those things. Milton the Monster Show, wasn’t it? Professor Weirdo and Count Kook? And now, through the miracle of the internet, we know where they ended up.

With a sink in the kids’ bedroom and the double showers, this does look dormitory-ish.

So I have two directions I could go on the army of spooky figurines:

A) I wonder what politicians or celebrities those voodoo dolls go with.

B) Gru’s minions come to mind.

And that's just one of the Lair photos... there are 3 more, including the one of the Sacrificial Altar of the Evil Genius in Pic 15. Even stranger, though, is the two-headed... open air shower in Pics 24 and 25. It feels all institutional-like, like it's in some creepy boys' reform school. Whether it's lurking psychotic axe murderers or demonic poltergeists, something feels way off in that room. There are a couple of nice features, the built in wood-fronted storage in Pic 11 and the way-cool period stove in Pic 7. Still, the description of the living room as "huge" seems inaccurate, though it does seem in keeping with the code-word description of the house as "adorable." It's my understanding that usually means the place is nice, but way smaller than you'd expect. Given the glaring examples in photo after photo of the not adorable current contents of the place, the agent might want to refrain from calling describing it as such.
