3,485 Comments for Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)

I don't think patient abuse was a great piece of history. The hospital should have been demolished as soon as it was abandoned, to prevent morons from entering and exposing themselves to hazardous materials.

dt: sadly, almost all these buildings have been demolished this past year.

I am a 44-year-old who was born across the street from Byberry, on Carter Rd. All of the kids from my street would play on the grounds that bordered our neighborhood. this site is great and I would love to go back and see it for myself.....I live in another state but next time I am up there.......

I saw many autopsies in this room, when I was a student. We would assist the medical examiner as well, atleast when he asked for it.

I'm just worried that we're making them "warm all over" ...

And I'm no lady... perhaps if I upped my obsenities quota and lower my grammatic and spelling skills, I might one day be called a lady..... Oooh there is maybe hope for me yet.... now I'm feeling warm all over! Oh wait...um.... excuse me one second.. I'll ... be right back....

J-131274 - now THERE is a rhetorical question for the ages . . . . . .

Felyne - the bullet, natch!

Lynne and Felyne, you two make me warm all over. ;-) The question I had was, "How does a female (presumably) spew forth such obsenities and then sign themself "Lady " anything"?

Did someone say "Gurple"? :-(

Okay... HOW sincere? Like, I kinda half mean it sincere, or take a bullet for you sincere?

The total respect and sincere admiration of your homies. :-)

So apostrophes are a no go then? Oh Im not sure I spelt that right, does that count? Hey now, using a 3 instead of an E is not cool, right?

Okay so if I decrease all my grammah an' spulling skillz, wotz in it fo' me, boi?

I believe the point is to strike a blow for the counterculture by intentionally misspelling whatever one writes. The point is to catch the reader's eye and show them that the writer just doesn't give one good golly for spelling, grammar, punctuation, or any of those obvious artifices that clutter up and get in the way of one's true feelings and expressiveness. My guess is that author's image and credibility decrease as his/her spelling and grammar skills increase.

But then, that could just be me. :-)

I'll grab a can with you Lynne, but just one thing... is there a Windows spellchecker for graffitti, I don't want to look like a total nerd by spelling whatever I spray the right way.

The eloquence of this argument decidedly outshines that expressed two posts before and makes one want to eagerly rush out and gather the paint cans, rally the people, and start spraying en masse.

Certainly a most persuasive argument for graffiti, I must say.
