Jeff's New Apartment Bears An Odd Resemblance To "Bowser's Castle"
Photo By John Hoff And Image of Bowser's Castle From This Blog.
When Jeff fled his apartment at "Upper Drug-O-Topia" after only a month, click here, he ended up at a much better place which, according to Jeff, reminds him of "Bowser's Castle" in the "Super Mario Brothers" video game.
I asked Jeff...
..."Is Bowser safe in his castle, in the game?"
Jeff said, "No, Mario usually gets him."
"Well, then," I said. "See yourself as Mario, not Bowser."
Here are images of Jeff's new place and the only good picture I could find of Bowser's Castle, so readers can compare and judge for themselves. But this is a case where a man's home is somebody else's castle!
Oooooooooooh, it's one of the historic concrete block houses!!!
ReplyDeleteFancy. :-)
It is, indeed, and there are a few right around it. I'll probably get around to putting up more pictures.
ReplyDeleteI've got a better pic than that to show a resemblance.

The problem with seeing myself as Mario is that in the first video game, he rescues like seven princesses and there's always this line: "Sorry Mario, but our princess is in another castle."
