I wanna jump on thoese mattresses! I'm gonna take them, put them in my living room, and TA-DA! Instant bounce house!!!

Only an hour for TV??!. . . that would NEVER do.

what a dump -

Those seats look just like the front bench seat from a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible I had -

I would jump at the change to rent / purchase that and turn it into living space. Would make a great house.

what the hell. i think they were playing favorites with ward 14.

i was housed at central islip when i was in college. new york institute of tech also shared the campus. my room was 8 by 10. it definitely had history. this takes me back.

It sux that they ttore this place down...except for the fire house (oddly) I live a block away from this eerie place and feel strange when i walk by it.

This is first time ive felt compelled to comment on this site...I see something new every time i scroll up to look again, I'd have two words if i saw this in person......

1. PEACE
2. OUT

breaks my heart...

i worked in corcarn building in the kitchen for 37 years. sure miss that job, it was a great job working for the state of new tork.

That clown would kill me if I hugged him.

"I love you Mr. Huggles>"

'I love you too. Relax. You won't feel a thing."

*stabs the back of the neck with butcher knife.*

"There now. Have fun in Hell, you fucked up bitch."

Yeah, I hate clowns.

Er, cases of illness, that is. You can only get 3 diseases from pigeons (histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis.) and you're pretty much only likely to get them if you've already got a compromised immune system.

I hope you were wearing a respirator Motts. Pigeons and pigeon feces also, carry a scary amount of nasty diseases. Over half of them can be fatal."

I know this is a rather old post, but as an ornithology buff I have to point out that this is simply not true. You are far more likely to get a disease from a pet bird than a wild one, including pigeons--who, by the way, are no more diseased than any other wild animal. The idea that pigeons and their feces are a major contaminant is basically just an advertisement for the pest control industry, and only popped up in the last 35 years or so.

You can check out public health records for more info--there have literally been about 10 wild pigeon-related illnesses in the last decade reported in the U.S.

Rather creepy...
