Home Sweet Home

To be fair, if I was left home alone for a week, that is what my sink would look like too.

That's it for "Weird NJ".  Next week we have a handful of hilarity to tide us over until the next story starts and then, December first is the big day.  A new storyline and a first for this strip.  

In the Dust

Amen to that Shrimpy, you and me both.

What's in a Name

After seeing Greystone firsthand, I can't imagine it was just the name that provided the gloom.

A Little Different

The things you had to do to be committed to a mental hospital back in Greystone's heyday were ridiculous.  Things that are celebrated nowadays, like being homosexual, would get you a one way ticket to Greystone or a similar institution.  

The picture above does very little to really illustrate the majesty and architectural beauty of Greystone as a whole.  Unfortunately, Greystone as we know it has been torn down and a more modern facility was erected on the grounds.  The building in the picture above was the last major building standing and the last building in use before 

it too was abandoned.  

Seriously, if you want to see beautiful architecture and what the ravages of time can do to that architecture, 

just Google Greystone.

One More Stop

A little more on Greystone tomorrow, but in my short time living in New Jersey, it became an obsession of mine to learn as much about the institution as possible.  It's a beautiful place that has unfortunately been torn down by this point.  If you do a Google Search of it though you will see how captivating it is.

On the Road Again

As usual, is method of delivery is a little gruff, but Sluggy is pretty spot-on with his observation. 

You Again?

Looks like this guy got a new job.  Good for him, times are tough.

Convenience

Generally, "just keep walking" is good overall advice when you meet a guy dressed in a bunny suit 

in the woods of New Jersey. 

Million Dollar Question

Trust me, Shrimpy feels dumb enough about running out of gas without a guy in a bunny suit bringing it up.

Unexpected Logic

I think the jury is still out on whether they would even notice, but it's a valid argument.

Lineage

It's like an after school special...kind of...in a way...okay, not really. 

Failure to Deliver

Ain't that the truth.  

Slurp Slurp

Again, with good reason Sluggy.

Tune in Friday to see what lurks in the shadows!

Rustling

With good reason, Sluggy, with good reason.

More Semantics

Sometimes semantics has a place, here...not so much.

Angry Birds

Damn you, Angry Birds!

Dibs

No one wants to be the middle of the human centipede.

Worse

Isn't that how it always goes?

Romance

The pig-faced guy looks a little too happy to see people that don't run away from him, that might be creepier than the murderer in the fields.

Leave a Message at the Beep

There are some messed up things that happened back in the day (like the above story) that would have made social media lose it's mind if it happened today.  Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but at least we know that the present is no more or less fucked up than the past.
