The SDMB is visited by some of the most creative people I’ve ever encountered. Their sigs can be a real hoot. But, in the limited amount of space provided, who’s come up with the wittiest, cleverest “location?” Yeah, I know, “San Juan Capistrano” is a real scream…I’ll leave the humor to the experts. ---

I can’t remember who has it but “In your grocer’s freezer” is one of my favorites. Along with **Seven** (I think) whose location says “Sneaking up behind you”. 😃 ---

My favorite is the one that says “Location: Location: Location.” ---

It’s a real estate joke, see… Personally, I like the way that **SPOOFE** ’s location just says “SPOOFE”. I’m not sure why, but it craks me up every time I see it. ---

SPOOFE’s closet, Chair I found on the curb, Somewhere in your house… I used to think mine was clever. ---

I’ll second **KneadToKnow** … “location: location: location.” was the absolute first thing to come to mind. One I noticed today or yesterday was “Conceivable.” I like that a lot too. Oh! I see Mr. location location location has already posted here. Very funny. ---

**Qadgop the Mercotan** ’s used to be cooler, I think it was “Slithering on the transorbital hull”. After the field was shortened, it’s down to “Slithering on the hull”. ---

Location:Location Location would be **Zebra’s**. It always makes me giggle. Mine is a “Princess Bride” reference, but I don’t think anyone’s caught it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Skerri \* > Mine is a “Princess Bride” reference, but I don’t think anyone’s caught it. On **this** board? Inconceivable! (That word you are using, I do not think it means what you think it means.) _Princess Bride_ probably ranks among the most oft-quoted films here. ---

I like **Motog’s** best – “Great Southern Land”. I wanted that one for myself. I’m tempted to use “Terra Australis” now. ---

I had to change mine after getting yelled at by about ten different people for saying in posts that I lived in MI, but my location still read “colorado”. I hope they’re happy now, eh. ---

Mine’s a literary reference from a short story called _The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas_ by Ursela LeGuin about these people in a town called Omelas who are perfect and happy in every way. But in order to be perfect they lock a small child in a closet and use him as a scapegoat. ---

I had “location location” in mine when the location thing first went up, but dropped it after I saw a couple other people using it. My favorite is the vat of nutritive fluid, too. I also like whoever is in a pod on a starship (I can’t remember exactly what it says). I’m sure there’s a reference there, but I don’t know what it is, so it’s amusing just to imagine someone posting from some little outer space bunkbed. That’s what I imagine, anyway. ---

I liked my old one: bowl of onion dip. I keep trying to think of the _perfect_ one, but it obviously hasn’t happened yet.😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-lists-the-best-location-under-their-user-name/138056.md?page=2)
