Looking at the pictures I assume it's not being used anymore...

In big letters in front, Asylum.

Now you say Pennsylvania, I can't but help think that Arkham, Massachusetts would have been a better setting.

I worked for the Gummint for about twenty-eight munce, on a sheep farm. They had another one at Tokanui, where we used to visit sometimes. To get to the farm, we had to drive through the grounds of the mental hospital.
I think I must've caught something there once, from looking at the inmates for too long...

The reason for that was, that until you came along, the only people they could find silly enough to spend their days stuck up a sheeps cunt were from said hospital.

What!?! They barried him because he couldn't spell?!? That really IS crazy!
Or was he just afflicted with poor spelling abilities after they barried him?

Buried. And you've inadvertently contributed an item for the BDOTGNZA's AGM that may get the Brave Defenders very excited indeed!

broke into seacliff with some mates when I was about 20, just for a look like.
We got busted by the grounds keeper, and once we had shared our weed with him he gave us a tour.
really fuckin creepy, even though it was being used to store lots of old machines(for a technology museum that never took off), but seeing stuff like the secure ward, andd the mortuary was as scarey as, among some of the stuff they had stored there was an old iron lung (tried it on) and all the broadcasting gear from bcnz 1 in dunedin, but the whole amosphere was veeeery uncomfortable

**wbks** · 27th November 2008, 20:30

Why is the atmosphere so bad? Its just a building... lol at trying the iron lung though

When I was a child polio was still endemic. A couple of kids I knew, including one I knew well, ended up in iron lungs ; more in calipers. It was a terrible terrible thing. Dunno what happened tot them, dead long ago I imagine. Our parents never spoke of them, they were too afraid. It was one of the two diseases of childhood that my great-grandmother and grandmother feared. The other was diptheria. The others, measles, whooping cough, chickenpox mumps and so on, we were expected to get, as young as possible, and get over it, without complaint. But polio and diptheria were a death sentence or worse than death. Eradicating them is one of the finest achievments of medicine in the last 50 years.

You never caught up with a good mate after he got polio? That sucks
