Or maybe just humorously alluding to swamp castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Not sure where you are getting your analogy from, but my guess is Jim's not really making an analogy. Mixing a batch of metaphors is not cooking chips. [VIDEO] [LINK]

> the Romans planted the walled settlement of Londinium on the marshy north bank of the Thames Err, I'm reasonably sure that the reason why the Roman settlement was on the North bank was that the North bank was rocky, and the South bank was the marshy one. The Romans were too pragmatic to try build Swamp Castle ( [VIDEO] )
