The “Location” line does not inspire me; besides, I like to have it showing if I say something state-specific. Now, I do enjoy messing with the “Organization” box when I start up new software: “From front to back,” “In alphabetical order,” “Not much,” “if I told you, I’d have to kill you”; that, I like. ---

I’ve always thought mine was rather clever, and I’m surprised no one has commented on it. ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > I’ve always thought mine was rather clever, and I’m surprised no one has commented on it. Aha. Got it. I’ve seen it, but never thought about it – for all I know, there’s a real location by that name. (There’s plenty of places I’ve never heard of.) Very clever. :rolleyes: ---

Mine is not meant to be witty, but rather an indication of what a visionary I am. You see, some day when the internet is the inter-universe-net, aliens and people from Mars and stuff will know what planet I’m from. Of course, the fact that it really means “dirt” might end up being a hindrance…but I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it. ---

No one ever gets mine. They didn’t get the last one, either. I’m gonna have to move back to Stupid Racist Flyspeck from Hell, Mississippi, I guess. ---

I always thought of my location as being witty, self-effacing, subltly ironic yet unabashadly pretensious, light and perky with a fruity aftertaste, bold, manly and exotic without forgetting the values that made America great. Then I moved to Akron, Ohio. ---

I think one was 12" from the CRT, and another was “between keyboard and chair” (A nod to an old geek joke). ---

Mine’s an obscure pseudo-self-referential joke which rightly goes uncomprehended by the vast majority of dopers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wittiest-location-byline/260209.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wittiest-location-byline/260209.md?page=3)
