Home and Auto Mansionmania Tournament: Round 1, Heat 11 - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 10-13-2021, 10:43 AM

Mansionmania continues. I'm going to show you the most expensive homes in every state and a few territories, with a few extras thrown in from the largest states to get the tourney up to 64. It'll be a single-elimination tournament.

You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:

The purchase price for you is $0.
All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, and cleaning is included.
You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.

I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.

Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

Your entries in this heat are:

District of Columbia:

I pulled Root Beer Barrels out of a conference call I was on earlier today where weirdos were chatting in their favorite candies.

Root Beer Barrels came up and I was like no ****ing way then looked that person up in the company directory and am 100% confident they weren't trolling.

That entire thing turned into a farce...

Was Jennifer Connely at least in the mix?

That was my error. I should have just named Salma as the winner and then had the tournament to decide second place.

I don't think she even made the Semis. Another damn travesty.

Looks like Sofia and Salma both lost in the semi-finals.

Yeah that’s something else. An older lady in my office had a bag of those on her desk a few months ago and offered me one. And it was ok. I like root beer. I like candy. But that can’t be your favorite candy when there’s so many to choose from. That’s like choosing necco wafers or circus peanuts.

She was in the mix. IIRC, Frazod was her champion in that tourney.

I appreciate a good root beer barrel. Especially if you get one from like an olde timey candy store where they're a little bitter (like Barqs, not that syrupy Mug crap).

But the answer is so obviously Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that it barely warrants comment. And once they made them with dark chocolate it was all over but the tears.

They make thin Reese's with dark chocolate, so the chocolate/pb ratio is a little higher than normal. They are excellent.

They make almond snickers now. Saw them in the airport last weekend. Very nice.

Sharing peanut butter M&Ms with Salma Hayek in that DC house seems like an optimal combination.

She lost in the 2nd !@#$ing round. To Julianne Hough?

Clearly too many people have not seen Mulholland Falls.

I hungoverly grabbed a bag of salt water taffy from the check out lane at Menards last weekend and the root beer float was pretty dang good all things considered.

I had no idea who that was but she’s definitely not the winner there after a quick check

I'll send you a nude pic of Gal Gadot on the bowling alley in the MO house with pins and peach rings covering the goods.
