**Palve** IMed me and was all pissed off… He thought my location is a reference to Sep. 11th. It’s not, so don’t be pissed at me.

10 points to whoever IDs it first.

On top of Uncle Sam’s penis… Jacksonville FL

that was me on the thread “Where in the World Are You?”. I’m no longer there. I’ve moved to the Heart of Darkness - Congo.

This thread has inspired to fill in the location field. So now, nobody can complain that it’s blank anymore. Here you go!!

Doesn’t anyone think I have a great location? I finally filled it in and nobody even noticed! ☹ boo hooo…hooo…  
Well…the trouble I go to for you guys.

**jackelope** should think it’s a great location if my memory serves me correctly. He will know why.

Yeah!! I got attention. That’s my favorite show. The reason I said **jackelope** should know is that his father’s unlce? was a Darren. Google works for alot of locations, but I still can’t get 105 N. Tower. I guess it’s a literary or movie reference, that I haven’t read or seen.

I figured **clayton** ’s out.

105 North Tower is from **A Tale of Two Cities** (see \*\* brachyrhynchos\*\*’ post). It’s where Lucie’s father, Dr. Manette, was imprisoned in the Bastille.

Mine used to be Kezar, probably only identifiable to the folks from the Bay Area, (or fans of the NFL from the 50’s and 60’s, or maybe really die-hard fans of _Dirty Harry_), but I always worried that it was a little too accurate, since I can literally see the West Goalpost from my house.

Then some troll I pitted threatened to come find me and kick my ass, so I went ahead and changed it.

OC = Orange County. The armpit of Los Angeles. 😃

They have a cool baseball team, though.

Thanks for the mention **Lyra** ; nice to know Uncle Dick (my father’s uncle–you’re correct) still has fans.

I must admit, though, that I wouldn’t have recognized it as the Stephens’ address had I not been tipped off…
