yes

North of Glouchester?

I just did a sanity check and I am, in fact, south of Glouchester.

in rhode island?

nope, not in R.I. You guys are pretty close, though.

Plymouth?

connecticut?

neither Plymouth nor Connecticut...but you sort of have me surrounded with those.

You're not hanging with your Kennedy buddies in Hyannis are you?

provincetown?

Neither of those...though I have visited a Kennedy compound along one of my favorite beaches here.

are you on an island?

like, as for the bucket, nantucket?

ooo sort of close, but not in the bucket. But yes, an island.

Martha's Vineyard?

i think you've got it, cowboy...

WAKE UP, NICK!!!

ok, I'm up, guys...had a good dream last night, except right at the end a bunch of family guys (mob) came down to where I was eating a huge homemade Italian feast and just as I stuffed my face full of fettucini and veal scallopini one of the older distinguished looking gangsters comes up and stands right in front of me and looks me in the eye with that look "...you know why we're here, Nick..." and I know they came to take me out for violating some unbreakable code...except I don't know really what I did and I'm wondering if they would let me have a nice big glass of chianti so I can wash down this good food and not die with my mouth full...and then I woke up. I have to go back to that and figure out what they think I did and I'm sure I can talk my way out of it.

Yep, I am in Martha's Vineyard. I had a specific town in mind but since there are only a few towns on the island I'm good to go just with Tully's Vineyard guess.

I spent many vacations on that island and really like it there especially this nice little rustic house I used to stay in most of the time, right on Lake Tashmoo, very quiet and close to nature environment. It also reminds me of my beloved black lab, Dewey, who loved to play there, running and swimming out to try to grab the osprey as they were diving for fish right off the shore.

Okay, go!

WH?

Yes, sir

city?

Yep.

north america?

Yes

in a state (as opposed to a province)?

I'm in a state.

bordering on the pacific?

Nope, first wrong answer. You were on a roll there.

bordering on the atlantic (the state, that is...)?

I gotta go with yes... and no on that one.

a ha! canadia?

No, isn't Canada made up of provinces and territories not states?

hmm, how about Florida?

Now we're in the right state.

Are you south of Tampa/St. Pete?

yes

Are you in Punta Gorda? ....punta gorda punta gorda...I like saying that.

South

ft. myers?

No.

Go back and read your post #928 and remove "the state, that is..."

miami?

No, would Miami be on the Atlantic and also not on the Atlantic?

How about Key West?

the state of florida borders on the atlantic...it's a city...south of punta gorda...not fort myers...not miami...naples?

Key West, specifically sitting at the bar at Capt. Tony's:

Key West is bordered by both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.

Yer up Nick.

OK, go for it. Where in the world am I?

...clue: my birth date, June 30, relates to this place though it is not where I was born since I already used that one.

NH?

NH = yes

niagara falls?

no, not Niagara Falls.

flint, michigan?

I was almost going to pick Flint...NOT. Clue: not in the U.S.

Canada?

toronto, ontario?

and my current user profile pic was taken at the almond tree inn on truman avenue just around the corner from duval street...

I really like Key West. I think I have a lot of good memories of doing the Duval crawl. Was planning on heading to FF for a Halloween trip this year. Sadly doesn't look like it's going to happen, the market and airfares just piling up on me.

None of those, so far you guys are in the wrong hemisphere.

Asia?

yes

pyongyang, korea?

nope...more west

In Japan?

pieping...beijing...the capitol of china?

Tul,
Japan is east of Korea.

unc,
not china.

I'm north of China, and that June 30th date I previously mentioned is significant to this place.

Tunguska, Siberia?

Alright! That's it. The object blew up a few miles above Tunguska on June 30, 1908 and 41 years later and many miles away I was born...what a strange coincidence.

I'm surprised nobody but us threesome have gotten into this. I'm enjoying this game but I'm wondering if it's wearing thin on you guys. Where in the world is everybody else? Do you guys have any ideas on how we can draw other people into this? I was thinking of linking to this thread in my posts in other sections with a comment like "where in the world are all you people?".

OK unc, you're up.

Yeah, after my dyslexic moment with Japan and then UP's Tunguska guess I did some research and figured that had to be it.

And yes I wish others would join in more often, not sure how to make that happen.

let's just keep doing our thing...obviously not a whole lot of us care about geography

ok, where am i?

In a hot tub, no wait golf course...

In the WH?

tully - no

(wait, i was on a golf course earlier today...)

OK, you're in the northern half of the eastern hemisphere...

Are you in China?

Back in the USSR?

South nam?

Ho Chi Minh?

nope...

Da Nang me?

Cam Ranh Bay?

cam ranh bay it would be...

you go, nick...

Some story with that locale? I basically named the two SV cities I could remember. Any reason you choose that one?

that's where i spent most of my time from september of 1967 through april of 1969...

I never did any military service but I'm thankful to those who did...thanks to both of you. It would be quite a coincidence if unc knew some of my buddies who where there in those years. I entered college in Sept. 1967 and lucky for my ass the engineering curriculum had a "college exemption" at that time, then when they established the lottery system for the draft I got a high number so was able to finish college. If I got faced with the draft I planned to join the Air Force and be a pilot but I never played out that option.


OK...where in the world am I? This place is not a city, but is a well-known location, at least to exotic world travellers.

bali?

not Bali.

SH?

EH?

SH = yes
EH = no


...to satisfy my occasional need for excessive order, I'm summarizing our current status:

I'm in the southern half of the western hemisphere.

rio?

right continent, wrong place

...where I am they don't have gorgeous scantily clad Brazilian babes strutting around the beach at Ipanema.

how about aruba?

An island?

not Aruba...and not an island.

South America?

yes, South America

patagonia?
