The mansion depicted as Bruce Wayne's home in the 1966-68 ABC-TV series Batman was built in 1928 for $140,000 and is offered for sale in 2026 for $32,000,000. Wow, what a deal! I wonder if Penguin or Catwoman might be interested.

I'm watching an HGTV show called Extreme Buyer's Club, where each of the house hunters have odd or unusual needs. On this episode, the host is working with clients who are a thruple. It's a guy and two women. The women generally wear matching outfits in each scene. It's definitely not a situation I expected to see on a 2nd rate cable network.

Well it may be annoying, but I don't know of another word, other than threesome. And that's a much broader word that can mean a lot of things.

Yup, I ain't got no better word for it.
