I have been informed that the auction to tour Penn Jilette’s house in now back online. There were issues with the old auction (some problem about the winner having to catch a bullet in their teeth first or something) but this one should be legit. The auction page also features a picture of Penn’s big giant head and drug-induced things in his house.
I have been to The Slammer briefly, and it’s definitely worth a visit. All proceeds go to the James Randi Educational Foundation, of course, and the auction ends on April 16th at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time. Go! Bid!

“Drug-induced?” Penn is very open about the fact that he has never tried alcohol or drugs, which makes his house even more interesting!

Is Penn the great towering scary one? Or the not so tall but even scarier one?
I know them from youtube but they’re not shown on TV in this corner of the world, plus their DVDs are only region 1!
As far as I can tell anyway, grumble, grumble, mutter, rant, grrrr…..

Penn, is the larger scary one.

Dancing with him wouldn’t be required, would it?

I, for one, would be honored if he asked me to dance with him (but he will have to lead and excuse me for stepping on his feet).
Already too high for my checkbook, I’m afraid.

Screw that? I want some of that illegal military hardware on eBay. Did you see those night vision goggles? Sweet! Splinter Cell time!
$810 at the moment. I could totally beat that. Hmm.

Arthur, I agree. It could have been a lot worse, and he looked like he was having a lot of fun:

@Charlie
Correct. Apparently Penn isn’t the sort for drugs and alcohol, yet supports ending The War on Drugs, as per this link:

Note that the auction is for ONE ticket, although the winner has the option of buying additional tickets at the same price as the winning bid. Ouch! I don’t think my wife would go for a $2200 tour, even if the lunch was really good.
