We used to drive past those things at the end of the driveways while going through the country when I was a kid. I just figured out what the heck they were used for.

/Seems pretty bloody obvious now that I think about it

//from the city... obviously

"reckless vandal" i dont know about that one... i kind of think the vandal did exactly what he set out to do
 
2004-10-31 09:17:43 PM
I think the vandal should be have his testicles set on fire.
 
2004-10-31 09:18:40 PM
I want to shake that Vandal like a british nanny!

Those Vandals sure love to sack castles!

Who can blame them, me being a Hun and all.
 
2004-10-31 09:20:44 PM
I think the dad should rebuild one like that Mechwarrior one that the one guy did a few years ago.

SpoolPlz

Trogdor strikes again!
 
2004-10-31 09:22:33 PM
That is a sweet frickin' castle!
 
2004-10-31 09:23:36 PM
Yeah... If my dad built me a castle to stand in while waiting for the bus, I'd burn it down too...

/You know they got made fun of when they got on the bus
//Bitter from standing out in the snow as a child

Trogdor comes in the niiiiiite..
 
2004-10-31 09:24:45 PM
Well, this is cleary John Kerry's fault.
 
2004-10-31 09:25:08 PM
go dad...show the man.

/drunk off my ass. happy friggin' halloween.

ComfortEagle, I'm with ya', I hope he also taught them how to handle weaponry and armed them as well. Those little scamps.
 
2004-10-31 09:26:18 PM
That's pretty gay, man. If I saw it, I'd probably burn it down too, just on general principles. A freakin' castle? WTF
 
2004-10-31 09:26:19 PM
4-1 odds this castle also will be burned by vandals.
3-2 odds, however, that visigoths will get to it.

Ostrogoths are a 9-1 long shot.

Slow farkin' news day.
 
2004-10-31 09:30:59 PM
Q. Do the kids on the bus ever kick your kids' asses for waiting in a castle busstop?
 
2004-10-31 09:31:37 PM
Oh, and it was Bush's fault

/obligatory

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

I'm afraid of castles after commercials with this guy started airing.

I want to shake that Vandal like a british nanny!

Vandal informs me that, for once, he's not responsible.

 
2004-10-31 09:39:36 PM


FIRE, BAD!!!
 
2004-10-31 09:40:04 PM
Damn straight.

That'll teach him to fark with us Vikings.
 
2004-10-31 09:44:04 PM
I don't see too much left of said castle.

Did it burn down and then sink into the swamp?

/No SINGING!
 
2004-10-31 10:39:29 PM
So THAT's he molests them now.
 
2004-10-31 10:52:07 PM


Ye Ole faithful hound will protect thee in thy new castle.

/Should add a moat with a few crocs..hee hee
 
2004-10-31 11:09:44 PM
Holy crap, m4tt3, that is the coolest thing I have ever seen in a backyard. Serious Monster House material.

I wish my dad built me a fort when I was a wee lad.
 
2004-10-31 11:33:38 PM
I built my own farking fort when I was a kid. How lame!
 
2004-10-31 11:46:36 PM
i like vandalizing vandals.

I wonder if this image was taken from somewhere else...

I read the story and thought, "Oh, cool dad." Then I read his quote "(we were pretty shaken up by the vandalism. There were some nights I went out through)...the woods chasing noises with a dog and a bokken." "Oh, what's a bokken?" says I. A faqing samarai sword. This guy was going after neighborhood kids with a bloodhound and a samarai sword. Maybe he's a little nuttier than we thought.
 
2004-11-01 12:11:42 AM
a wooden practice sword, you putz
 
2004-11-01 12:48:06 AM
These kids are damned lucky to have a dad like this.

My dad would not had cared less about my brothers and I.

He's been dead forty years. I have yet to visit his grave.
 
2004-11-01 01:44:40 AM
Sure, he'll rebuild it, but then just watch it get sacked by the Goths and Huns though.
 
2004-11-01 07:10:02 AM
Neat!

I'd have loved something like that as a kid just to play in. (We had a small, prefab log cabin with an observation platform on top that we played in until we got too big for it.)

I hope they caught the little bastige who burned it up and punish him to the full extent of the law. His folks need to have to reimburse the owner for time and expenses plus punitive damages.

Ok - backyard castle? fair nuff.

Front yard castle? cruel and unusual man.
 
2004-11-01 01:21:15 PM
This guy should get a freakin HERO tag.
 
2004-11-01 02:05:00 PM
Sorry for the ignorance, but what is a "bokken"?
 
2004-11-01 08:36:35 PM
Monkeybrains,
It's a wooden sword.
 
2004-11-10 12:47:00 AM
Seems like the new fancier castle will be a bigger magnet for vandalism, wouldn't you think? Maybe they should add a fire sprinkler.
