Why your address is Wrigley Field: Easy! That’s the address that Elwood had on his driver’s license in The Blue Brothers. ---

That’s the address that Elwood had on his driver’s license in The Blue Brothers. \*\* We have a winner! Although you’ll have to share the bonus points with **masonite**. And maybe some with **furt** , too, because it looks like he might have been thinking that. Unfortunately, I am not Ryne Sandberg (except once for Halloween). If you want more of a prize than shared bonus points, it might be possible for me to pass on the one [prize](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=113525) that I [won](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=113525&perpage=50&pagenumber=2) on the 'dope, which I have not yet claimed. And it is 1060. To quote from the movie: > [@](#): > > JAKE: Wie willst du die Band wieder zusammenbasteln, Mister Rennfahrer? Die Bullen haben deinen Namen, deine Adresse. > > ELWOOD: Nein, meine Adresse haben sie nicht. Ich hab’ den Führerschein gefälscht.

Well, **Francesca** has (had?) “Behind you!” as her location. I think it’s the exclamation point that cracks me up. ---

My favorite poster/location combo is **rocking chair** whose location is “on the porch.” ---

I’m surprised nobody has “Location: yes”. I _know_ I’m not the only smartass on the boards. – Dragonblink, who’s been known to fill out the fronts of test books with things like “Date: Sam” and “Section: Non-smoking” ---

**Revtim** is the one with “America’s Wang” (Florida) which I have heard on The Simpsons too. 😃 And I saw a “Location: Yes” just the other day, though I can’t remember who had it. ---

Not to be all uncool and boring and literal or anything, but I appreciate it when people use their real actual location. In some discussions, it can be helpful to know where a person’s coming from, y’know: what country they’re from, or what part of the country, or how big a city they live in. ---

Well my joke is that Ohio doesn’t have a sea. Hasn’t for a long, long time. (indicating I am older than dirt) Hopefully some one will come along and tell me how long it has been since this area _was_ the bottom of the ocean. I know it had to have been at one time cause I have a picture of me taken about 200 mile from here sitting on a huge petrified clam shell sticking out of a mountain. ---

Yeah, **Thudlow** , we should use our real names too. None of this humour silliness. 😉 ---

And could you furnish us with a recent picture showing a clear shot of your face along with the addresses of your home and work? Oooh and phone numbers- both home and cell. And if it’s not too much trouble please include SS# and credit card numbers. That oughta do it.
