Abandoned mental facility
 

So, me and my buddy finally went to the asylum he was talking about; turns out it's just half a mile away from my house. XD
Once we started walking around I noticed it was definitely not an asylum; it was a care facility for the mentally disabled. I'll spoiler the images, because they're fucking huge.

Will this only work if I go one image at a time? Fuck.

imageshack allows you to resize. This has reactivated my Urbex genes. :)

Fuck it; this was easier.

aw man those left-behind photos are the Saddest Thing

My banner ads immediately switched to "get help for your depression" and whatnot.

For the final six weeks of this past semester I was placed at a mental health clinic, and it had abandoned wings from in the 1940's when it housed over 2000 people. I should have nabbed some pics, that place was freaky.

Those bowling pictures were pretty weird

I dunno why they were holding pins and not bowling balls.

That isn't Wingdale is it?

I live a stones throw from the infmaous Pennhurst Asylum - they closed the place some 15+ years ago due to improper treatment of the residents. The place has now been somewhat restored as a Halloween attraction.

In my senior year of High School, our psychology class went on a field trip to that lovely edifice. I can't imagine any Halloween attraction creeping me out more than I was on that day.

I was hoping it would be an abandoned asylum like yours, so I could take a straightjacket or electroshock helmet or something.

We actually saw some of that crap there, while they were still operational. Scared me sane. :eek

Getting the crazy literally shocked out of you is a pretty terrifying concept... :shocked

There is an abandoned sanitarium in the next town over, it got converted into a Buddhist temple/compound. :(

Same thing.

EXCEPT IT'S NOT AS FUN TO GO NOW.

Somebody will eventually burn it down.

when i was in this one place this one dude was getting electrohock therapy :O :O think itmight've been more for epilepsy though.

also there was somebody who built stuff out of their poop :O but they were in the crazy crazy part.

A poopsmith?

Well, it's lost most of it's nutritional value, and you can only throw it around so much before it breaks into tiny little pieces, so I guess this is probably the next logical step. Right?

Was he Japanese? I bet he was Japanese. They're crazy about poop.

No they like puke and pee, Germans a poop freaks.

Yeah, like America isn't the leading country in fake poop purchases. :rolleyes

I tried to find some graphs detailing which country sells the most fake poop. All I got were sites for how to make fake poop for porn. Internet needs to get its priorities straight.

y'all got fake poo

i think she sculpted lovely sculptures out of the poop inside of her closet

i think there was a person like that in girl, interupted :O

Nothing says crazy like a big bale of hay!
I totally imagined the big Indian guy asking for some Juicy Fruit gum on that court.

wut

he's referencing that one movie about the mental facility

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

no i think it was some movie with jack nicholson in it

Oh. My bad.

The moral of that movie is don't be crazy.

Don't get caught being crazy. :eek

It's a hard truth that most crazy people aren't crazy. I am so sick of all these young women that watched Girl, Interrupted and thought "hey that looks like fun I wanna be put in a psyche ward too!". It's sucks that all the space for REAL crazies that eat poop and rape ostriches is being used up by sad wannabes.

I'm a she by the way.

In Westchester medical center they have a problem with people eating the AA batteries from the TV remotes.

they're so tingly

There's no abandoned buildings near my house and that annoys me.

Nah, don't feel bad. Abandoned buildings usually aren't cool. I went into an abandoned mill once and it was boring to the max. Just some old light bulbs, dirty clothes all ripped up, urine puddles and a couple of syringes.
I don't know what I was hoping for though, maybe a map to locate buried treasure. But then again any map I found in there would have probably covered in human excrement.

I KNOW ONE NUTHOUSE THATS FULL

I DON'T LIKE WHAT THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT BUT I'LL POST ANYWAYS

They are useful for filling with graffiti. Presently I have to travel to get my paint on house-like walls fix, and there is hardly any human shit in there.

Man, graffiti in abandoned buildings ruins the vibe. :(

Well that's just your opinion, man.

Crazy people are so inconsiderate. >:

I wonder what show they leave the television on before ingesting the batteries? It's like "FUCK YOU, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW SO I'M GONNA' EAT THE BATTERIES SO YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL AGAIN!"

Maaaaaaan

That's why every time I walk into an abandoned mental facility there is a TV flickering in the background, and the only way to turn it off is to shoot it.

I once saw a guy hump a t.v. till it turned off. So I guess there's another way right there.

How do you punch someone in the face when they're looking another way?

you could punch them in the side of the face, i fguess

Yeah that's what it is. The side of the face is still the face in my book, and that's the only book that counts in my mind.

what about the holy scripture of our lord jesus christ, that's a book

Pussies go for the side of the face. Men chew out their sweet, sweet eyes.

Well I meant a book that talks about punching the side of the face still counting as punching the face. As far as I know that isn't brought up in The Holy Bible, but then again I've only read the King James version...maybe I missed it somewheres.

LordSappington, I get it I'm a puss, so what? Besides, I never claimed I had a big swinging dick like you.

Now let's get back to the real question at hand, do you think that Harry potter was really just some crazy guy and "Hogwarts" was just some abandoned mental hospital with graffiti and poop on the walls?
I don't think so, cause that stuff really happened bro, it REALLY happened.

Have you guys ever punched someone in the face? It hurts like fuck.

I've never actually done it, but I have thought about it a lot. I was kicked in the crotch once, and even though I'm a woman, it still hurt pretty dang bad.

Punching is for people with poor conflict resolution skills.

I had friends with a high school black metal band called "CUNTKICKERS". :(

Depends where your punch lands. Never try to punch an Englishman in the jaw, their teeth will cut your fist open and leave bacteria in the wounds like a Komodo Dragon.

i picked a guy up and threw him on the ground once

Did he make the same sound as Chun Li when she falls to the ground? Cause that would awesome.

Everywhere I have punched the face it's hurt me.

It's all about the technique. If you're holding your fist wrong, it's easy to break fingers, or your wrist.
Also, the skull is one of the hardest bones in the body. You really want to aim for the softer bits, like cartilage or flesh, like the throat or eyes.
@Nat I'm messing around, yo. If I got to you, wait until someone picks on you.

Yeah, you can still be doing the correct technique for punching someone, not break your fingers, and when your knuckles connect at speed to their jaw, it will still hurt.

Jaws are not great places to aim. You need to have a good pain tolerance, or heavy fist to really pull them off; jaws are very hard, and jaggedy, and stuff.

Ever punched anyone in the face?

@LordSappington I know that, I was trying for a snappy reply, I guess I failed. It did sound defensive but I was hoping you'd read it in a PeeWee voice so it would seem funny. Alas I am suck at forums.

Zhukov, exactly how many people have you punched in the face?

Yeah; few times in middle chool, and several times in Tae Kwon Do tournements. It hurts like hell if you miss and punch someone in the cheekbone, or forehead. I actually saw a guy break his wrist when he punched a guy in the forehead.
@Nat, I will now read all of your posts in a PeeWee voice. Just for you.

you guys need to start punching people with fatter faces, it's like punching a cloud

I wonder what a fat person's resonant frequency is. Someone could make the world's fattest piano.

^^^ below audible range, dude.

So you can't punch the jaw, cheekbone or forehead. It doesn't leave much left to be honest. All I'm really trying to establish is that it hurts when you hit someone in the face, and I wouldn't count the neck as the face. I've punched about five faces for those keeping count.

It seems kind of strange that this thread went from a visit to an abandoned mental hospital, to the science of punching faces.
@Zhukov that's a lot of face punches, how many times have you been punched in the face?

Actually, that's pretty much status quo.

Fluoride.

actually the jaw is like one of the best places to punch somebody

what the fuck kind of fists do you guys have that the jaw seems hard?

LITTLE MARSHMALLOW PUNCHinggloveFISTS

Kidney is better

Guys, I broke boards several times in tae kwon do. That clearly makes me the expert on this forum.
Expert of faggotry

I would emplore any i-mockers to come to NYC and I will take you on an unforgettable tour of abandoned military bases, factories, tunnels, another factory, and finnaly another military base. I will show you photo realistic "tags" as well as century old unused infrastructure. I will also arrange a booze cruise and get everybody stoned beforehand so the bar bill will be lower.

Or I might find that this is too much effort and say fuck it.

Srislyu though zuhkov you strike me as somebody who would benifiet from a 12 month stint in Brooklyn.

Only if you REALLY will be the tour guide, I would as long as you were the one pointing at everything and telling me fake facts about it. Something like "See this here? that was made in 1923 by a man named Parungo Macias, a known master craftsman." while you point at an old toilet.

Yeah, I would go into abandoned buildings and dark tunnels with Evil Robot.

fixed

I have never been punched in a serious manner, I ooze empathy.

I agree wholeheartedly. I would love to go to Brooklyn.

Nat: I've been punched less times than I've dealt out, but I'm not sure now how many. That's strange since I am a very calm and peaceful person that tries to avoid violence.

I was bullied for several years, being the under confident, fifty-pound annoying little shit. The bullies left me alone in eighth grade after I knocked a bully out by slamming his head into a locker.
That's probably the most badass thing I've ever done, so every post from now on can be ignored if you so choose.

I was bullied as a kid for not being able to speak Spanish, after my family moved to a better area I was only bullied for being poor.

I WAS A BULLY

GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY, GUYS

Oh shit! *hands over $3.25*

I was bullied until I realised how woefully easy it was to not get bullied in about grade 1.

By the way I never wanted to let people think I was/am some kind of hard arse; I'm weak as piss and not very cool.

It's kind of hard not to get bullied for my reasons though. It's hard not to be poor when you are a poor kid. I did try to learn Spanish but I never got fluent.

I was bullied for so long because being constantly zombiefied by amphetamines left me extremely scrawny, nervous, incredibly awkward/annoying, and without any social skills.
To whoever of you who might have an ADD/ADHD kid: Do the smart thing and get them some damn excersize and good nutrition, instead of zonking them on meds.

meds are easier. no one has time to hold your hand

Meds are easy, but I'm not sure medicating children for being unable to focus is a good idea. Most kids have a problem with focus. I don't believe that's a good enough reason to pump them full of drugs.

This board doesn't need another goody two shoes.

I don't know about that, I think what it's pretty much filled it's quota with is contemptuous assholes.

Oh, ok. Tell me more about your honest good living. It's fascinating. Oh, and please don't leave out all the little obvious information. It's not like we come here to escape from the normal every day stuff.
