Gettin' medieval on yo ass


This place looks like a shotgun shack that Conan the Barbarian started decorating with memorabilia, then got bored. Seriously, I don't know what the deal is with this crazy house near the corner of Ashland and Chicago. I need to find out more. It's covered with all manner of swords and crosses and emblems; sort of Monty Python meets Sam Rodia. If you blow up the photo, you can see there are wood placards nailed along the walls with names of various heroes: Tarzan, Ivanhoe, Big Ed (not sure who that is), Sabu (aka pro wrestler Terry Brunk?) Robert Taylor (who played Marcus Vinicius in the blood and sandals epic "Quo Vadis"). Pretty awesome.

After laughing out loud for ten minutes straight, I promptly made this my new desktop background. xo
