Probably one of my favorite things here is to read what’s up there where it says “Location”.
**Spectre of Pithecanthropus ** - With all your lost socks. That one made me laugh out loud, thanks.
Some of us are honest and forthright - Boston, Sydney - wherever. Some of us are empty, blank and not giving that out.
Some of us think we’re funny in an obscure way. I read the posts, and always my eye heads towards the location of the poster.
Am I alone here?
I changed mine from straightforward to obscure-but-accurate. Partly because so many people don’t seem to pay attention to it, and say “Oh, so are you from England, then?”
Nope. I almost always look, at least when I don’t already know from having looked before. If someone’s describing a geographical problem like traffic, crime or a sports team, that certainly necessitates a peek. Same for political persuasions. I’ve tried to draw parallels or conclusions between similar mindsets and locations but so far, like so many things in my little world, I’m drawing a blank.
I prefer to be enigmatic, not revealing my whereabouts to anyone. . .::glances at corner of post:: …D’OH!
I’ve been meaning to change mine…so I finally did it today, thanks to this thread.
My favorite location note is alice in wonderland’s. It says “Down the rabbit. Whole!”
Mine used to be “Shag Harbour UFO,” partly as a reference to where I grew up, and partly because I didn’t want to change it when I moved back home for the summer. As you can see, I did change it, because I stayed in the city but also because I don’t know if anyone ever got the old one.
I do check others sometimes, usually if the post makes me curious but sometimes just to see what’s there. BEHIND YOU! is probably my favorite–apologies to whoever uses it, I forget your name, though I suspect there’s a couple. I also like Phèdre nó Delauney’s, Terre d’Ange, but because I’m a fan of the books.
I’m just peeved there’s not enough space for me to write “the woodbine etc.”
Mine doesn’t nail down the exact city, but at least you should be able to figure out the general area…
Should be easy enough. First, we only have to find a criminal named Chad who was executed. Then, out of the Chads, find one who was executed by hanging.
Howdy, neighbor! SoFla, here!
Mine is just, well, it is what it is, baby.
So how accurate, or precise actually - how precise is you Lat/long info there?
'Cause I’m bored here today on National Leave the Office Early Day, and I found you…
I think.
Very accurate, last time I checked.
I love looking at the various locations, too. I’m just not witty enough to think of anything better for my own.
I’ve been thinking of changing mine, actually.
I thought I should make it more in line with where I live; rather than just boring old “Baltimore,” though, I was going to go for a (supposedly) clever “Patapsco Drainage Basin” or “The Land of Pleasant Living” and see if anyone picked up on the references.
I wanted mine to be ‘A Pimple on the back of beyond’. But it won’t fit.
Oh well.
Hello to you, too.
I can’t think of who the doper is, but he/she has Location: Location: Location!. That cracks me up.
I wanted mine to be "on a rock off the coast of Alaska, but it wouldn’t fit either. So, Kodiak it is!
Well, I used to be boring and straightforward, so I just now changed it. Little (slightly obscure) dictionary joke, seems appropriate for an amateur writer.
