I like **Hamadryad** ’s “Thrillsville” and the aforementioned Location: Location, Location!

I think somebody had:  
Florida - America’s Penis.

(Or a variation of the above.)

I will never again be able to look at a map of the USA without thinking that.

Yeah, you can even see The Keys to Florida’s incontinence.

I had the same (Location: Location! Location!) until yesterday, when I saw this thread.

\*\* bean\_shadow\*\*, are you saying it would be ok with you to live a happy life in a utopian community that was predicated on the suffering of an innocent child? Me too.

Maybe I’m just sentimental, but I like **Max Carnage** ’s Location: Dumpsville. Pop. :You.

I’ve had and still have location location location.  
**AND EVERYBODY LOVES ME!!!**  
(and you have no idea how good that makes me feel)

I’ve thought about starting this thread many times so here are some of my favs.

Chair I found by the curb.

Someone has I believe their Lat and Long. coordianates

Echo (I’m not sure but I think it’s a reference to something I vaguely remember)

Spoofe

In my own little world (Skerri’s old one I believe)

Your location reminds me of a _Beverly Hillbillies_ episode. Granny is fighting with the Weather Service because she claims their predictions are wrong. The weather honcho’s name is “Justin Addison”, which lead to the following (paraphrased) exchange:

ADDISON: “I’m Justin Addison.”

JED: “Well, they’s nothing wrong with that.”

(We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.)

Mine’s pretty obscure, but I like it. At one point **Anthracite** had “Tanelorn” as hers, but she changed it, so if she’s ever seen mine I know at least one person gets it.

Enjoy,

I suppose this would be a good time to mention that this is not my actual place of residence. Bonus points for anyone who can say why I put it as my location.

I think **Tripler** has his latitude/longitude coordinates.

Yup. In UTM format.

Good within 100’ of my house.

Michael Ellis also has “Location: Location: Location” in his. Must be an epidemic, or a pandemic, or just a nifty coicidence.  
Now, me? I want you to know where I am. Yep, almost **daring** you to stalk me.

And you knowwww you do.

That would be **Squish** , in a Cryopod on the LEXX. Never watched the show either, but I picked up on the reference.

My favorite was **Spritle** , whose location was, “Speed’s trunk, usually”. Cracks me up.

You’re halfway there. Well, you’re all the way there in terms of getting to Wrigley Field (which is the place to be), but you’re halfway there at saying why that’s my location.

Isn’t it 1050? That’s what I had on my driver’s license for awhile (You can probably guess where I got the idea).

Is the other part that you are really Ryne Sandberg?
