> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > Nope, not in the slightest. Perhaps you could amend it to, “Blackwater Park which is an album by a band that is pretty good as far as melodic/instrumental black metal goes, although most people seem to prefer Amorphis, if only because they have better videos. And, by the way Otep, whom Opeth is commonly confused with is also pretty good.” Don’t know if that will fit though. ---

If there had been a little more room available, I would have added “always in” to the beginning of mine, but I guess it works the way it is. Sorta. Maybe. Kinda. ---

I used to have “over Macho Grande” which is a reference some may get. My current one is only humorous to those in the know: I live in a large city, and Bithlo is an exurb famous as a white trash trailer-park wasteland. ---

I would consider that, except that Amorphis’s vocalist just quit, and although Otep’s vocalist is quite hot, she gets on my damn nerves. 😃 ---

Mine’s not witty or clever but it is often accurate. ---

Mine more accurately describes where I wish I was. Someone somewhere at some time had “Under your desk.” Made me grin and think naughty things. ---

> [@Cicada2003](#): > > There was one to the effect of “seen my governor naked” that I liked . . . but I don’t remember who. I figure that gives away which State I’m in- unless there are more governors that have appeared naked on film than I think (maybe I’m selling the other State Governors short!)- but I wanted to be even more helpful to my fellow dopers and share my actual city. Unfortunately, the name of my city is too long to fit in the “Location” field: **El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula** P.S. “Maggie’s Farm” is a good choice too. ---
