So lately I’ve been really really really into playing Lego Star Wars on the Wiiiii. Every night I stick the kids in their beds and then go blast apart barrels *kapow kapow kapow* and Jedi the Stormtroopers’ helmets (yes, “Jedi” is a verb) so they’re backwards. Love it. But I don’t want my kids to watch me play, because it’s all *kapow kapow kapow* and they’re little. Plus I’m usually muttering obscenities and they already have a sufficient supply of those at hand.
But they’re curious, and they’ll creep out of bed to try to watch Mama try to kill Jar Jar Binks. I need to find some way to keep them in their room at night. Some little parenting tip…
No, I have no idea what made me think of that. Why do you ask? Anyway, here’s a photo from a listing. Tum te tum…

Copy & paste this:
It’s Montana – must be the door to the arsenal – I mean – gun safe.
I would totally buy that house! Not because I need to keep my dear offspring safe from my obscenities (because, after all, she’s 20 and swears worse than I do), but to keep my belongings from being “borrowed” on a permanent basis. Yes. I would like that house.
I’m confused…is this cell block door on the inside or the outside? And what’s up with the 30 year old Pepsi can sitting there?
The Pepsi can is a novelty telephone . There is a ring of push-buttons at the bottom and you put the can up to your ear to listen and talk.

Most of the other photos look so nice and normal… then it’s like aaagh, do they store the victims behind the barred door and sacrifice them on those weird stone tables before roasting them in the outdoor brick oven???
I’ve been reading too much Stephen King.
It’s obvious – this is the door to the mother-in-law apartment.
Yes it is a gun safe. On the listing you will find a picture of the gun range. One makes one’s own fun in Huntley, MT. The house was constructed in 2006 so I am puzzled that it looks so old fashioned.
Exterior door? Like an entrance from an attached garage or something?
It seems clear to me that the realtor (or whoever posted the pictures) accidentally got one picture mixed in that didn’t belong there. Nonetheless, the juxtaposition is amusing.
I think we all want to kill Jar Jar Binks hehehehe
Jar Jar is one of the Univers’ worst mistakes, and we all know it.
On the other hand when I looked through the pictures I was struck by the fact that the interior door to the gun safe matches the door to the shooting range. If you’re going to reuse old prison cell doors making them match is always a good idea.
Odd, but strangly useful. Especially if one were to have a werewolf friend who needed to be locked up during the full moon (e.g. Oz of Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
I also thought the mid80s Pepsi can was strange in a Suicidal Tendencies, punk rock kind of way.
All I wanted was a Pepsi… oh, there it is, thanks.
Was wondering if anyone was going to say that. Seriously…how long has that been there?
Did anyone else notice the abundance of gates, bars, and locks elsewhere? I’m thinking especially of the “courtyard” shot. Why is there chain link fence on top of an eight-foot wall? Are deer or mountain goats or whatever they have in Montana actually that aggressive? The place looks like a compound to me.
Since the patio/courtyard appears to be below grade, I’m guessing the fence starts at or around exterior ground level and probably just keeps rabbits/coyotes/prairie dogs/drunken cowboys from falling into the courtyard by accident.
That probably really is a security gate to the bedroom area of the house. There was one like that in all the houses in my area when I was growing up in Trinidad.
Why do they put security gates on bedrooms?
We had them when I lived in Jamaica. They’re oh-so-tastefully called “rape gates” there. The idea is to protect you at night — if someone breaks in to the living room, they might stop there and steal things, but not bother breaking down the gate to the bedroom where you are.
BUT THIS IS MONTANA, NOT KINGSTON.
I love playing Lego Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones on Xbox. I have a problem with Lego games, apparently.
Seeing as I was last at a Lego convention, oh… five hours ago, I really can’t point fingers.
I’ve got all of those games too (though mine are for PS2), LEGO Island, LEGO Island 2, LEGO Creator, and LEGO Loco on my PC, and two bookshelves (and then some) full of my LEGO creations, so you’re not alone.
Perfect place to hide Christmas presents!
Me and mates have just “acquired” a large number of gold bars from a lucrative business deal. We just need somewhere “safe” to put them. Fortunately, this house has a built-in vault just for this purpose.
