I had the actual name of my city on my location, then thought better of it after some of what I posted would identify where I work. Plus my user name, a bit too transparent, although if you work with me, and read the SDMB and know who I am, please come tell me.
Then we can make fun of the rest of the people we work with.
Right now, my location gives that I’m in Canada, and if anyone is curious, I’m also in Ontario, but nowhere near Toronto.
I think thats good enough.
Hell, I give my real location, and people assume it’s a joke. If I tell a random acquaintance at work or in a bar where I live, most of them will give me a blank look as they try to figure out what the joke is.
To be honest, I’ve considered changing my user name to **Geoffrey Fourmyle ** and having the location field be Location: Elevation: Situation. But only a handful of people would get it, and it’d piss off Leaffan. 
It will be a mystery for future cyber-archaelogists, like Stonehenge or Jerry Lewis. They will appreciate the challenge while simultaneously What-the-Leaf-ing each other to death. And they will discover this is where it all started…
As long as he didn’t blue jaunt.
Leaffan, come back! Your thread misses you! Why did you leaf us?

. . . of course, he’s probably getting ready to watch the Leafs play San Jose. . .
I don’t know if this has been addressed yet, but you can put any location you lke in the “location” blank. I’ve lived in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Germany – I could put any of them in the location space and make it believable. Hell, this is the internet! I could say I live in Paris and make it believable. Besides, who really wants to bother looking up Sterling, Colorado – if I had that in my location, would you really know anything about where I live? But when I list County Road 370 North, it creates a picture in your mind – and probably a pretty accurate one – of where I live. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado or Oklahoma – it sure as hell isn’t Florida or anywhere in Canadia. Listing your location as Carp, Canada, means nothng to me; all I think of is an SCTV skit, and I wonder, “Is that where they filmed ‘Ice Road Truckers’?”
Alright, screw this. I’m changing it back. . .
Tripler
I’ve floated down his crick long enough.
I interpreted it as somewhere in South Korea where all of the animation for the Simpsons, etc., is done these days.
Well, Laffan, today I posted at least a clue to my current location, but I’m really on the Islet of Langerhans, just below the Greek Island of Pancreas.
hah hah hah
Haaaaaaaa!
On that same page there’s a video of black lemurs getting high off of millipedes. I love the internets.
I’m in Southern California–which, as we all know perfectly well, is entirely different from Northern California. There’s even a straight line that runs right across the middle of the state to separate the two, and you need a permit to cross it.
Good one, viva! Back in the day, we had a saying:
“Los Angeles always speaks badly of San Francisco. San Francisco does not speak of Los Angeles at all.”
While I don’t actually have a tent set up on any runways, they ain’t far.
Really? I’ve never met anyone in SoCal who didn’t like SF. Everyone likes SF. The people up there think there’s some sort of rivalry, but outside the sports teams (maybe), it’s all one way.
I lived for nearly half a century within 100 miles of Carp without ever having heard of it – and I knew where Smiths Falls, Arnprior, Renfrew, Penetanguishene, and Kenora are!
As for my location, I’m exactly where Harry Chapin said. Which has struck me as a good idea ever since we got here.
Bah! Sissy fish. Try King Salmon, AK or Halibut Cove, AK. MAN fish!
What are you, some kind of Canadian?
Nope, just a Merkin who grew up on the border.
We never had to set the clocks back – we just showed 'em a picture of John Diefenbaker!
