The Table

Dr Sketch

People don't usually die on an autopsy table, although that WOULD be more convenient... And - as much fun as it is to think about - I highly doubt that the staff were raping, beating or killing their patients. At a stretch I would believe neglecting, but even then I wouldn't blame them, I'd blame the people who wouldn't give them enough money to have adequate staff (you see what you've done to me Lynne?).... Nice try though.

Castle

Dr Sketch

Oh man DK, you and me both! Some days I get a headache just trying to figure some of these comments out... :)

Lynne, I finally figured it out; they only want to read the comments they like, and think the ones they don't like should be removed. Now, what to do with a post like the one immediately preceding me? It references the orientation of one of our members, and could be taken as derogitory (although it is not, in itself, a negative comment). Should it be removed because I don't want to read it?

Creep

Dr Sketch

Johnny Mac, some of us (like me) are ALLERGIC to latex! I'd rather be tortured with lead paint, if you don't mind...

Brassiere

PxB, is it the bra that's state property or what's inside? Just curious which way you meant... :D

You're in luck Motts, there's an abandoned church out my way! :D

Unknown Objects

Dr Sketch

Ok, that's it... I've got $50 in my hand, for the first person who will bring in photographic PROOF of what the hell this is. Meaning, get off your ass, go out there, take more pictures of it, including any manufacturing marks, clues, etc. It has to be proven without doubt what it is, I'll send you a $50 bill. Any takers?

Projection Room

Dr Sketch

I know I'm a little late on this, but I remember reading somewhere else on here that "Hospital Green" was that color because of the chemicals in it; the paint dried harder on the wall, so it was more resistant to damage (from wheelchairs and the like), and also it was easier to keep clean.

Brassiere

Dr Sketch

autoguy, I think I might be up to the one handed challenge with this one... Looks like it's the "four clasp" style, where you have to use three fingers and a thumb instead of two. :)

Beautiful as always, my friend. Just out of curiosity, do you ever get tempted to sit in the lonely chairs, just to give them a purpose again? I know I would...

Hints of Violet

Dr Sketch

Well, it's no wonder there's so many germs, I haven't seen one soap dispenser that a normal person can reach! Maybe they need to mount some lower!!!

Antique

Dr Sketch

(Start Sarcasm)What, it wasn't enough for you to torture the poor innocent patients with PAINt, but you had to torture the couch too??? I feel you pain, little couch dude! (End Sarcasm)

Seriously, I would love to hang this on my wall!

Rack

Dammit, he beat me to it! Although, I gotta say, it looks like that rack needs some more, um... support!

Boarded Up Porch

Dr Sketch

This rocks! Is that porch fenced in as well as being boarded up???

Brassiere

Dr Sketch

Wow, I would have been so tempted to take it, even though I'm so against taking things out... I mean, that's just TOO bizarre to leave for the wrecking ball! But I agree with Lynne, thanks for not selling it on eBay.

(trying so hard to be good today...)

Zap

Dr Sketch

Wow, um... I'm not showing my age, but until recently I HAD the butcher cover...

That thing wasn't on, was it Motts? Probably just the light from the window, but it looks like a bluish reflection on the chair, and it reminds me of those evil lights...

... they would say "Please don't tear us down! No more walmarts!" ;)

Medical

Dr Sketch

I'm gonna go with the logical guess here: if someone DID get inside, they wanted the upper windows boarded to protect people from falling out... It sucks, but they would face a lawsuit if someone was injured while exploring here... Or maybe it was to keep stupid people like fedziepoo from flinging furniture out the windows?

Bah, I missed the pool part altogether! There are some more pool pictures at the Pines Hotel location (should be very near the bottom of the "locations" page) that are good...

Facade

Dr Sketch

I'm going to be serious for a brief minute here... I do remember reading an article a while back that a blind person elected to undergo surgery (note, that means he did it by choice) to have his eyes (that didn't work anyway) replaced with cameras, to see if he would be able to see or not... I don't imagine they ended up going through with it though, or it would have been bigger news... But that wasn't here, if I remember correctly it was in Switzerland.

Lynnie hun, I don't think fedzie-poo wants to play with us anymore... He's the only one I know of who likes to mate with animals... :D
