> [@E-Sabbath](#): > > My location, for what its worth, is accurate to within five miles. All you have to do is figure out what it means. Hudson River? Brings one town to mind. I’d say it is a bother when you talk about things in a specific area and don’t mention anything. But if you are discussing, say, a book, most (not all, most) of the time does it matter where you are from? And other Dopers do know where I live, just outside NYC after growing up in NYC. Heck, some have been unfortunate enough to see my face ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I find it amusing that San Dimas High, a public school, has as a team nickname “The Saints,” while just down the road Damien High, a private Catholic boys school has as its nickname “The Trojans.” All sorts of disconnects there. 😃 This is because an inferior school like Damien has to resort to all kinds of misdirection in order to bolster a deservedly sagging reputation. Whereas a PROPER private Catholic boys school, such as, oh, let’s just say Loyola High School – as an example, mind you – is satisfied with being the Cubs. Also, Damien is technically in La Verne, not San Dimas, making them even less worthy. 🙂 ---

> [@tdn](#): > > The saying is true: Sane is lousy in bed. Well I’m glad to see that there is _some_ advantage to me being nuts. :smack: 😛😃 As to where my slide originates and ends, I’m more than happy to share my misery whenever it’s called for. Right now, it’s (unfortunately) still Greenville in east Texas. Shortly (hopefully), it will be Dallas. All still in the same state that I loathe, but I’m positive that I’ll only be expected to be barefoot IN my trailer and I’m almost, thank Bog, past the age of pregnancy for anyone to suggest that portion. ---

Mine used to say “West of Bithlo,” but nobody outside of the Orlando area would get the joke. Then it said “Over Macho Grande” but that seemed too obvious. I figured someday someone would get the reference in the current one, and say “hey, that was a clever use of a cool song lyric.” Alas. ---

To the OP: I’d say I have a built in reluctance based on all the “ASL ??” ASL? asl??? bull-shit that comes up every time you log into, well anything - messageboards, gamesites, etc. Here’s my Age, Sex and Location (you stoopid mutherfucks, like anything on the internet is likely to be true anyway!?) - I’m a 157-year-old, tri-sexual piece of petrified wood. Now can we play cribbage? Gah @!! ---

Silliness. This is such a silly pitting. If you Google the phrase I have as my location the first hit will give you the answer. My apologies for having fun. Next thing you know they’ll be pitting folks for having usernames taken from obscure characters in sitcoms from the 1960s. Then we will see who still has their thumbs won’t we? 😃 ---

Well, dude, all I can say is that the most trouble I’ve ever gotten to on this board (officially) was because there was an ex-poster who got under my skin about this very issue. Can’t talk about it here \ but e-mail me if you want more details. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Being a non-Bostonian, you wouldn’t get the rich full flavor of the joke. I can’t find the map itself, but [here](http://www.xanga.com/Daylily02/380654265/item.html) is a description of it: Ok, so, are you trying to say that the map isn’t right??? 😃 I do find it amusing the number of Boston-area people that reflect that in their location. Maybe because it is such a HUGE area. See, the map was right. Ayuh.
