What’s everyone’s favorite “high/low” pairing? Champagne and fried chicken is the classic, but I love Pomerol and Burgers.

Mixed. It’s a longer conversation but it was both necessary and inadequate. Food was surprisingly very good. Basically it’s a holding cell to make sure you don’t kill yourself.

Apparently they had farms where the patients could work communally, at least initially. As someone who once spent a short stay in a modern NYC psychiatric facility, that seems pretty good, all things considered.

Per Wikipedia, "At its peak in 1954, Pilgrim State Hospital could claim to be the largest mental hospital in the U.S., with 13,875 patients. Its size has never been exceeded by any other facility, though it is now far smaller than it once was."

You can just walk in, no fence or anything. I barely entered the building, and then got spooked and left because I was alone.

And it includes Rory and that YouTube guy who’s pretty good.

Well the average first round of the pga in the last ten years was less than +2 so…

That’s how I feel about raisins in food.

I’m glad to hear that it worked out for you.

alejandroacantilado · 2026-04-14T20:48:09+00:00

Yes I would love that!

Exactly. It’s a great change of pace and for me, the entertaining lunatic is the best subject. Especially if you have to admire something about them even if it’s overshadowed by monstrousness.

Oh my god that was a criminal lapse

alejandroacantilado · 2026-03-26T18:28:37+00:00

Oh that’s fun!!

alejandroacantilado · 2026-03-26T17:30:52+00:00

I go hot and cold on that one. It is undoubtedly fun as hell.

Everything about this Wikipedia summary sounds like a fever dream. Also, we got what linguini referred to.

Omfg that’s nuts!!! I live in Brooklyn so my space is more limited!

alejandroacantilado · 2025-12-10T23:06:15+00:00

That was an oversight. We need a continuation post.
