The Zork cross stitch is amusing, though. There should be a companion piece: “Oregon Trail: You have died of dysentery.”
I have seen that one, too!
That Malibu house would definitely be toast in a tsunami. Or maybe an earthquake. Or a landslide. Or maybe even a fire. Pretty, but way too risky.
I guess it was only a matter of time before one of the “stairs that will kill you” actually had killed someone. Alas.
I love that the Zork cross stitch has a glow in the dark element! It’s so perfect!
I…. may have bought the Zork cross stitch pattern…
I love me some castle homes
