I was watching Easy Rider the other night and there’s the scene near the start when Fonda and Hopper fix their tire and have lunch with the Catholic couple with so many children. The father asks them “So where are y’all from?”, Fonda goes “L.A.” and the guy looks at him quizically and says “L.A.? Where’s that?” Heh, cracked me up good.
I prefer to leave mine a bit ambiguous as with this they’re not sure if I’m on solid footing or in Betty Rubble’s pants.
Given your username, you could also say you’re on the north shore. Those who’ve heard of you will know it is the shore of the Rio Grande. The detail of “distance to the water” is not always important.
While my location is accurate, it ain’t helpful. Be that as it may, anyone bored or crazy enough to sort through my past threads could probably work out precisely where I live and work.
Irrelevant but IMO funny Boston joke:
A guy gets into a cab on Mission Hill.
“Where to, pal?”
“Take me to the hospital.”
“Peter Bent?”
“No, I just bruised it a little.”
Touche, mon ami. . . touche.

Heh, I just thought over some of my posts…and if someone really wanted to link them all up they could quite easily find exactly where I work. Ehh, no big deal to me. I’ve always figured that if someone really wanted to stalk me, they’d figure out a way to do it.
I may be the easiest Doper on the SDMB to find. I have the correct location field (although “Unincorporated Jefferson County” may be more accurate), my real name is in my profile, and my username is my license plate. 
Mebbe someday this will come back to bite me, but I doubt it…
My general plea to the board is: Don’t stalk me. If you must stalk me, at least be sane. If you can’t be sane, at least be cute.
My location, for what its worth, is accurate to within five miles. All you have to do is figure out what it means.
This thread is WAY too long for me to respond to.
I’ll take sane AND cute.
I was stalked by an ex for a rather extended period, I would have gotten a restraining order and all that but I guess I felt sorry for him. Ah well, next time it’s restraining orders all around!!
I have almost nothing in my profile. when it’s relevant, I’ll mention my locality to a degree (area of specific state, sometimes, just the state, at least once because it was relevant, I mentioned being near a big 10 school).
can’t agree w/the OP. it’s not worth bothering about.
Nothing screams “hot chick” to a guy like a cute smile, a perky attitude, and a court order.

Ladies: I’m “Warrant Free since '93!”
My location correctly describes where I work. I live a little east of that.
Cute trumps sane.
What can I say, I’m a slut. Or I would’ve been one, given the opportunity, back when I was single.
You’re right, cute does trump sane. Or as Samantha said on sex and the city “the crazies have the good pills” 
The saying is true: Sane is lousy in bed.
You are evil, and I don’t like you.
Incidentally, there’s Bingo at San Dimas High School every Saturday night starting at 6:30.
What???
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.
I was not aware that guys looked for perky attitudes.
