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! And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third! That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up!! And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England New Orleans!

But I don’t want any of that. I’d rather just… Sing!

I put Zillow link in the self text but not only did I not check the dimensions carefully - I didn’t check them at all. Maybe it’s only five feet high!

World’s littlest skyscraper - an off the net explanation about this Texas “skyscraper”.

A con artist inferred the building would be 480 feet tall but he never actually used the word “feet”. It’s 480 inches (12 m) tall.

I can verify it’s a full size building. It’s visible from the highway

Sounds dangerous.

“What’s that? It looks like a castle.”

“What?”

“There’s a castle over there! Look!”

“I can’t see. I’m driving.”

“Just look!”

“Well… I… What the fuck is a cas—”. Crash.

EDIT: it was the Fisher Price Great Adventures Castle. I got the colours slightly wrong, it was Gold with blue accents vs Black with red accents.

Awesome!

But now I’m disappointed the castle doesn’t come with “battle sculptures”.

[Edit - I would have loved that as a kid. I loved pretend battles.]

Yup, if you replaced the fake antiques with Life-Size Lego Figures and scattered some large Lego Bricks around it could work out okay.

Wow, I’m sorry and I hope whoever had that thing built is happy with it, but that is fucking hideous
