I just noticed that someone, who evidently lives in California, has theirs listed as “North of the Manson-Nixon Line”. I thought that was pretty clever.
My Credit Union actually owns my house but Bank is shorter and fits in better 
sigh No, I’ll never get over Macho Grande.
My location is accurate (I love how everybody seems to know right away that da Bronx is a borough of NYC) but the phrase comes from a series of books written by a friend of my Dad’s, Lloyd Ultan, called The Beautiful Bronx. And I actually live across the street from the huge Van Cortlandt Park, and we have crickets and spring peepers and horseback riding and tall 150-year-old trees and it is quite often beautiful.
I was considering “Floating in space” as a reference to The Flaming Lip’s Do you realise? But for now I’ll just stick with this.
Mine’s not clever or witty, just a nod to my favorite current show on Broadway.

Mine’s from a successful poll I started about how far everyone currently lives from the place they were born.
My favorite is Tapioca Dextrin’s ‘Staring blankly at my GPS’, and I do enjoy seeing clever entries rather than factual entries. As has been said here, a poster’s location is not generally anyone’s business. If it is relevant to the thread it usually gets mentioned.
I am the original **location: location: location ** member, but I switch it when the are issues about language colloquialisms and other geo-sensitive subjects.
I would just like to state, for the record, that I had mulled over my location field contents for some time before actually creating it. When I had myself fairly convinced that no other poster had used this most obvious joke, I decided to save it to my profile. Having then patted myself on the back for being such a clever little wit, only then did I start noticing that every other poster and his uncle was using the same thing. I truly felt embarassed.
So I was going to change it. But then I thought, “Hey, I thought of it first, why shouldn’t I keep it? Plus, I’m lazy. Besides, woah, isn’t it lunch time? See you suckas later, I’m getting ham!*”
*Paraphrased. It may have actually been salami.
You also have “the nations biggest and best” high school cross country meet once a year.
I was thinking of changing my name to Mr. Man-frin-gin-son just to have 2 stupid movie references with a theme.
I too vote for the kingdom of butter.
I always thought that Qadgop’s location also referenced his handle – that a “mercotan” was some kind of mollusk-like creature that attaches itself to ship’s hulls, like a barnacle; yet slithers, unlike a barnacle.
No, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about Qadgop.
I like my location, but we shouldn’t have even stopped here in the first place.
Mangetout’s “The Kingdom of Butter” always makes me hungry …
As you can see, I’m honest … and very literal. :rolleyes:
Hey, it’s my future temporary location. The tag doesn’t say current location.
I’ll be moving to Bangkok, Thailand in a month. So it’s 27 hours in economy class: JFK to Anchorage, Anchorage to Taipei, Taipei to Bangkok.
Oh, and Thailand is rather warm.
I’ve been waiting years for someone to pick up the references in my name and location - I don’t think this is an opportunity I can pass up.
In the end I’ll 'fess up; but for now, anyone get it?
I like Silver Fire’s location. A lot. A lotty lotty lot.
Lots.
