Nice home Frank. Strange and bizarre, but I was expecting more cows and more games. Moooooo. I'm reminded of the time as a kid I found a deer skull in the woods behind our house and mounted it on top of a wood pole stuck in the ground in the backyard so I could see it from my bedroom (I really didn't want the half rotten thing IN my bedroom). I'm sure in some areas or later times I would have been accused of being some kind of Satanic cultist or weird pagan freak, but no one back then seemed to care.

It even looks like it's partially made of stone. Schweig! Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:50:38 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4356 Well, well, well. Look who showed up to sling wild accusations, point fingers, and make unsubstantiated allegations! This is worse than when Clinton bombed Yugoslavia to take the heat off his sex life. [i]This piece is obviously a contrived hit job. First of all, the box is being forcibly held in front of my face - by the author of this article no less![/i] Poppycock. Are you being "forcibly" made to play the game or "forcibly" coerced into soliciting gentleman callers for your daughters? The frankly vulgar and offensive hand gestures which I would NEVER expect to see around a gaming table indicate quite a bit of consternation on your part for having your picture taken while you were PLAYING a game you allegedly despise. [i]there is a Blackberry - a sure sign of my boredom and disdain for any game.[/i] Balderdash. The only time Robert Martin _isn't_ on his Blackberry is when he's asleep or unconcious. That still doesn't explain the beer or the fact that he appears to be in a drunken stupor in this controversial image. [i]Friends, all I can say is that you are Anakin and Michael Barnes is The Emperor.[/i] More nonsense from the guilty. I'm more like Admiral Ackbar, warning you that it's a trap or perhaps the wise puppet Yoda. Robert Martin is "Darth Sidious", IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. [i]Remember that not so long ago he almost singlehandedly destroyed the boardgaming hobby.[/i] Hey, I'm still working at it! Don't give up hope yet! Michael Barnes Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:43:18 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4355 This piece is obviously a contrived hit job. First of all, the box is being forcibly held in front of my face - by the author of this article no less! Secondly, there are no game pieces in front of me. Instead, there is a Blackberry - a sure sign of my boredom and disdain for any game. Third, I refused to have my face even appear in a picture with this game. Unlike Steve Avery who is smiling like a young child excited with his new toy. Friends, all I can say is that you are Anakin and Michael Barnes is The Emperor. Don't let him turn you to the dark side like he has so many others. Remember that not so long ago he almost singlehandedly destroyed the boardgaming hobby. robartin Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:46:19 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4354 Some things those photos of Swamp Castle do not reveal: - The new multimillion dollar addition of Frank Branham's Celebrity Gaming Hot Tub and Recreation Center - The fact that those shelves with all the toys have now been taken over by games - The sweltering humidity and tropical climate that seems to exist like a bubble over the grounds - More cats than a Louis Wain painting It feels like the perfect house to play AD&D in. Not 4.0, AD&D. Michael Barnes Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:19:23 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4353 I just love how Frank's house looks so very normal and suburban from the front outside. There's no hint of all the weirdness within! I love the crow in the bedroom. I really need one of those to perch on a ceiling beam in my living room. The gravestone rubbings are awesome - classy even. SusanR Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:58:27 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4352 I don't know if it's that bad -- the women who designed the game did so in a pub. Any game that is created while downing beers has the potential to be better than its sober counterparts. 433 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:48:23 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4351 Another wow for that house. CRAZY. Ska_baron Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:24:05 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4350 I clicked the link and saw the house. Uh, wow. Gary Sax Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:39:15 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4349 Hell no! Socks and sandals is the devil. Black socks and all-terrain Pumas.

Also, what the hell are you wearing on your feet. Are those black socks and grandpa sandals Yikes! ubarose Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:12:21 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4347 Let's try actually using the link tag. [url]http://www.spielboy.com/frank_cribs.php[/url] shows enough wood paneling to make your eyes bleed and some bonus faux-country stencils of pigs and cows. It's kind of like Rob Zombie moved in with a Tennessee grandmother. moofrank Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:01:44 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4346 If only I had gotten the shot a moment later...RobMarti stage dove onto Dan, Barnes went down on his knees in a wicked guitar solo, and Frank bit the head off a bat...

He did a version of "Enter Sandman" a couple of weeks ago that would have made Metallica cry if the song didn't already suck so much. Michael Barnes Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:10:54 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4344 Guys, you´re supposed to be a rock band! This looks more like an rock band when playing Amsterdam after a day in the coffee shop. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame on you!

We bought the Brady house. http://www.spielboy.com/frank_cribs.php moofrank Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:35:45 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372#josc4342 Niiiiiice, wood paneled walls.
