          Good one, I believe I live in nontraditional housing and I advertise off my home too here in Alaska, I have anti war art on my house someday I must take photo's. I have two beanie babies hooked together and this small american flag next to them well a lion and a lamb. I also have a pic of George W and under his photo sez ANGRY MAN!

            Allie made this the main pic of the tribe. Yay. : )

            I was just making evil horror fantasies about the hanging of people through the trap door and pushing people off. lol I'm just in a REALLY dark space right now and have been screwed over by a BIGTIME criminal. Still not worked out yet.

            Anyway, I do think this is a very cool concept. I wonder how many of these actually exist though. Or how hard it would be to get one made? How much would one cost?

            I just remembered the name of the billboard company I was thinking of too btw. Gannett Outdoor. Maybe I should try to contact someone there and ask around. They probably wouldnt give any good answers though. Just in biznatch to make money probably. Corporate America. Yay. Gotta make those dollars. Ultimately our only value is numbers right? I like businesses that at least pretend to give a fuck about humanity.

            Oh shit. I'm drinking me mouth spilleth forth too mucho bs again as usual. Hmm.

            BOINK!!!

    That is some sweetness! I'd like to see some veggies on his balcony in the front and some greenery on the roof. Imagine the view from the roof of a billboard house (like the view from City of Angels on the freeway signs...)

      I'd sunbathe nude on the roof. Making certain to use SPF 40 or 50 on the delicate areas. I never want a sunburn on the front or the back EVER again. Actually I havent had a sunburn for a few years and I'm very white. I totally need to be in the sun.

      ANYWAY!!! I would sunbathe on the roof. And have a rope ladder and a swing. Just hang my laundry out to dry. Toss my trash into the truck when it drove by if it was on land. Have a cable connected to the side of the liquor store so I could slide down to get more beer. Then have a little jet pack to fly back up to my porch. The possibilities are endless. What's that billboard company in CA? I forget the name. I need to contact them. It would be cool if you could still use one side as a billboard and use the advertisement money to pay the mortgage and for more beer and parties. Everyone that came over to visit would have to sign a disclaimer stating they can't sue if they fall off and live through it and if they die noone can sue either. That way, if anyone really pissed you off at the party you could just push them off when noone is looking and then scream "OH MY GOD!!! He just fell right over!!!" Then when the police questioned you later you could just state "Oh yeah. He was very drunk. I warned him to be careful and he just had to go outside.

      You could also have a trap door with a rope to perform public hangings Alice Cooper style. Do it on the day before trash day. Then on trash day when the garbage truck drives by you could just cut the rope and let the body drop into the back. That would be hot.
