Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities. I never miss that one when I'm in Philly. Of course I also never miss a trip to my friend's tattoo parlor in Hatboro or stop in The Trestle either so there's no accounting for taste...

Or...you could all come to "La Casa de Camo". :-?
(My rambling estate)

Jester and Matthewski (et al) have both been here, and I'll actually be home this weekend.
(Don't assign me a date, though; I've already got one... :D )

I'm picturing the philly hikers in the Mutter Museum.....man, I wish I was going to be there. Who do you think will be the first one to kicked out for trying to turn the into lung into a stove?

Zelph would be the first, wish I could be there. I like a challenge!!!!!:banana

Aren't the Mutters the guys in Philly that dress up all funny and parade on New Years Day?

going to museums, picnicing and shopping. hmmm... is this a meeting of the GATHA?:D

...or using the soap cadaver to wash up.

You're just jealous...big boy. :p

Feng shui!!!

yes,

they preserve their bodies the same way the cadavers are preserved in the Mutter Museum......lots and lots of booze.


name the date and time when prepared and if I have the freedom I will be there.

peace

Geez, I just Googled "Mutter Museum" just for the hell of it to see what you guys are talking about.

The "Roadside America" article on the Mutter is particularly inspiring, what with the glossy photos of Mutter treasures such as The Big Colon and The Soap Woman. Also, any place that has John Wilkes Booth's thorax on display as well as Grover Cleveland's tumor has to be worth a visit, never mind Chevalier Jackson's personal collection of over 2,000 swallowed objects retrieved without resorting to surgery.

In short, I think this place is on the list the next time I'm in Philadelphia, and going there with Matthewski and Jester as tour guides would probably be a life-altering experience.

See, when I was a kid, we were taken frequently to the Museum of Fine Arts or one of the Harvard galleries. Jester and Matty got field trips to the Mutter. We got Old Ironsides and the Old North Church. Those guys got the Soap Woman and The Big Colon.

This explains a lot.

I haven't been there in decades, but it's definitely a unique place. They've also got the (shared) liver of the original Siamese (P.C.=conjoined) Twins, Chang and Eng.

Jester has a cockeyed view of what "fun" truely is. See:

But, this is the sort of behavior that could make you mayor of some small hamlet in Ohio. A true Bill-"villain" if I've ever seen one.

Johnny

I won't come to the party if I can't dance.

I believe it went down like this...

Click

"This is really going to come back to haunt me, isn't it?" - Jester

"I do believe so, yes." - Johnny

Did you see the look on the dog's face? This should be reported to the authorities. Its just wrong. :D

Hmmm. Yep, pretty much just like that. But I would like to note that you didn't post any photos of the lovely dinner I treated that dog to beforehand.

Note to self: Leave dog at home...

I always schedule an extra day in Philly for the Mutter. My alternate breadwinner has some odd fascination with conjoined twins.

Better not to ask, just accept these things...

It doesn't look like I'll be making this little soiree, but I sure look forward to visiting this museum the next time I'm in Philly, and it better be Matty and Jester who act as tour guides. Along with them, I sure hope Jester brings along his absolutely delightful Mutter, who would also enjoy the place.

Maybe Michael Vick isn't such a bad guy after all.

hwo is matthewsi? who is michael vick?

lone wolfs right. what are we? men? or shoppers? change of plan. were having a drinking party. all drunk drinking, all the time. ive never been to the mutter. im not planning on it. ever. goiters just dont do it for me. my idea of a good time has garters. not goiters.
no signal makes homer mad.got up in middle of night to eat and to see if i could pirate a signal. sugar out of control. went down to 34 yesterday. called the dude for imperical glucose knowlage. worked hard to eat the good foods today. back to my norm of 90. it seems not hiking and watching hikers hike each weekend is too much for me. the wilderness and long distance hiking represent life to me now. must leave city . only death for lights in sand. oh kirk........what are we doing wrong? so much to say, so little brains.the caller asked whats the mutter and whos the matthewski.answer.....there both unimportant. back to hiking. the only outdoor thing we can do is ride the duck. it goes in the river under the ben franklin bridge after each ride. other than that, all we got is the statue of rizzo and the one of rocky. best to just drink.

::: Dino takes pity on Matt having seen his post in the women's forum and on Jester having seen the caliber of his recent dating companions. Dino will be importing dancing girls for the soirée :::

Man...ouch. You OK, buddy? I told you guys that we could hold the festivities at "La Casa de Camo", my rambling estate in the Philly 'burbs. You can pitch a tent on the grounds if you wish, and imbibe to your heart's content.

Besides, I could use some more help with my yacht (http://mycyberbuddy.com/conchcruisers/photos2005/TiggerToo/IM000257.jpg)... :p

I love you dude!:D

Y'all need to have a pre-Gathering or after-Gathering before or after the Gathering for us homeless.

Jack: Looks like I'm one of the very few people on this thread who actually has been to the Mutter Museum - for a wedding no less - don't know what that says about my friends!

A wedding at the mutter????
Shoot, I thought that it was sick humor when my mom brought me there, trying to make a trip to my surgen "fun" We just kept pointing out all the spots they were reserving for my freakish legs. Oddly enough........
I have one of the rare privlidges of being alive and having part of me at the mutter. I don't know why, but after signing a "educational use" contract, the cores of bone that were extracted during my transplant were put there. Yep, part of my ankle is sitting in some random drwer or cabinet at the mutter! I don't know how to feel about being a "medical oddity"

Now I have a good reason to visit Philly besides Matty and the Philly Cheesesteaks.:banana Wonder, I knew there was something about you.

Yep.....now, if you look really hard....and figure out what my "sample #" is...you can see a peice of my talus. Let me know if you find it......I haven't been able to. They won't put my name on it until I die

May they not put your name on it for a long time then, sweetness. :o

Thanks :-) Let's hope not....
