John Hammond, builder of Hammond Castle, put an actual dungeon in the cellar and locked Burgess Meredith in a cell for a little while after he was rude at dinner. This makes him an oddball.

If Burgess was in the cell I was in last night, he could have slid his hand between the bars at any point and unlatched the latch keeping the door shut. The fact that he didn't makes him a) a twit, or b) very polite to his host, I'm not sure.


Castle of the Damned stats so far:
Customers peeing pants: 1
Histrionic argument between two cast members involving tears and 'Real World'-level miscommunication: 1
Actors blowing out voice and talking in whisper the next day: At least one.

I wish /I/ had a castle with a dungeon where I could lock up people who were rude to me. I could keep hordes of students down there and make them memorize the difference between "affect" and "effect!" Bwah hah ahahahahahahaha!

I guess that makes me an oddball. Actually, I'd probably just use the dungeon to store boxes. Not books, however romantic that might be; dungeons tend to be damp, and damp is bad for books.

Hee--besides, books should always be kept in the tower, so you can kick back in the comfy chairs and look out at the ocean while you read.

For the first part of the evening I was afraid I'd be in the cell that has the hot water heater and boiler in it. Instead I was in the nice dark spooky cell. Did they tell me there were rats in the castle until after the shift was over? Why would they do that?
