uncle phil 12-01-2010 01:38 PM

kuwait?

BadNick 12-01-2010 05:56 PM

Well, I am somewhere on the Arabian peninsula but not in Kuwait.

uncle phil 12-01-2010 06:07 PM

qatar?

Ourcrazymodern? 12-02-2010 07:06 AM

...in a town?

BadNick 12-02-2010 07:24 AM

Not in Qatar but I can almost see Qatar from here. Yes I am in a town, at a special type of facility that might appeal to a fun loving motorhead like me.

Ourcrazymodern? 12-02-2010 07:33 AM

Does Bahrain block your view?

BadNick 12-02-2010 09:48 AM

no, I'd have to look beyond Qatar to see Bahrain.

Ourcrazymodern? 12-02-2010 09:59 AM

so you're in the uar?

Ourcrazymodern? 12-02-2010 01:50 PM

...like maybe at the Yas Island Circuit?

uncle phil 12-02-2010 01:50 PM

Yas Island, Abu Dhabi?

BadNick 12-02-2010 06:31 PM

yes, somewhere in the UAR....yes in Abu Dhabi but not on Yas Island. Yas Island is a little over ten miles east.

In addition to my previous clue about this place appealing to a motorhead, there are at least a couple of world-level superlative qualities about this place.

Ourcrazymodern? 12-03-2010 06:45 AM

Hell...

Abu Dhabi Traffic Control Centre?

BadNick 12-03-2010 09:14 AM

nope...this place offers fun to the public.

big clue: red

Ourcrazymodern? 12-03-2010 09:47 AM

Are you at the Corniche, watching the Red Bull Air Race?

BadNick 12-03-2010 11:45 AM

nope. btw, I hate Red Bull...though I do like bulls and I like red.

I'm sorry to keep harping on this since it would be less meaningful to people who aren't auto enthusiasts, but this clue combination is significant: motorhead & red

And since you brought up Red Bull, that reminds me that Lamborghini has nothing to do with where I am.

uncle phil 12-03-2010 12:07 PM

10 miles west of yas island is water...

Ourcrazymodern? 12-03-2010 01:45 PM

"a little over 10 miles," & depending where you measure from & if it's straight west...

I think we need another clue, Bad Nick.

BadNick 12-03-2010 08:51 PM

Sorry, I have to correct myself. When I originally put the name of this place into Google maps, it showed a place marker on the map which I assumed was the correct location and it was not on Yas Island but more westard in Abu Dhabi. Now that I was looking for better map clues, I went to the website of this facility and found their link to Google maps and it shows it right on Yas Island. Sorry.

But I would like to have someone guess the actual name of this facility/park kind of place on Yas Island and the "red" "motorhead" and "not Lamborghini" are pretty solid clues.

Give it another shot. Ocm? guessed Yas Island Circuit but I'm not right at the circuit but just about right next to it.

uncle phil 12-04-2010 03:15 AM

Yas Marina Circuit, Formula One & Etihad Airways Grand Prix host Abu Dhabi

?

BadNick 12-04-2010 08:53 AM

It's right next to that circuit. If you look around for a huge red thing in that vicinity, I'm at that place and the name of this place is directly related to my red car clues above.

Ferrari World Readies For Grand Opening

?

BadNick 12-04-2010 10:19 AM

Ourcrazymodern? 12-05-2010 12:24 PM

...both coasts, again?

uncle phil 12-05-2010 01:16 PM

only one coast...

Ourcrazymodern? 12-05-2010 01:34 PM

BadNick 12-06-2010 09:13 AM

might you be in the Chincoteague or Assateague shore areas?

uncle phil 12-06-2010 11:15 AM

yes...

Hotmnkyluv 12-06-2010 12:12 PM

Are you on that island with the sea ponies?

uncle phil 12-06-2010 12:39 PM

yes...

Hotmnkyluv 12-06-2010 01:54 PM

I say you're in Tom's Cove on Assateague Island!

uncle phil 12-06-2010 02:15 PM

you're too far south...

Hotmnkyluv 12-06-2010 03:26 PM

Chincoteague national wildlife refuge?

uncle phil 12-06-2010 03:29 PM

nope...

got the right idea, though...

BadNick 12-06-2010 06:20 PM

hmmm, are you at the Assateague Island National Seashore? if so, can I surf with you?

uncle phil 12-07-2010 04:03 AM

i am, and europe!!!

good job, st. nick...

BadNick 12-07-2010 08:22 AM

Good one, unc. I was half ass'd expecting you to be somewhere in Assawoman butt the location didn't quite match your posterior clues.

A day after St. Nick day is the date which will live in infamy!!! ...a Democrat said that. I think it has something to do with shopping.

OK, give me a bit to find my new place to hide.

BadNick 12-08-2010 06:14 AM

I'm there!!!! Come find me.

Hotmnkyluv 12-08-2010 06:21 AM

It's wintertime. Did you go to the Southern Hemisphere?

BadNick 12-08-2010 06:24 AM

no. At least not yet.

Hotmnkyluv 12-08-2010 07:22 AM

Well surely you stuck to the Western Hemisphere to keep it simple...

Ourcrazymodern? 12-08-2010 07:58 AM


I'm guessing Europe, to make it complicated.

BadNick 12-08-2010 01:18 PM

simple it is. I'm in the WH.


ps: I was surprised I hadn't already posted this answer. I was on here several hours ago, said the same thing as I just did, but now it wasn't here...I must have hit the wrong button or something.

uncle phil 12-08-2010 01:18 PM

is "english" the tongue of the realm?

BadNick 12-08-2010 01:20 PM

yes

ps: I used to chase my honey around the supermarket with one of those large beef tongues. We shopped after midnight so we could do silly stuff like that.

uncle phil 12-08-2010 01:29 PM

are you in the country of the sofa?

Ourcrazymodern? 12-08-2010 01:33 PM

North of the 40th parallel?

BadNick 12-08-2010 06:20 PM

yes! yes!

uncle phil 12-09-2010 03:49 AM

Hotmnkyluv 12-10-2010 03:11 AM

Is your state home to grunge music, overpriced coffee, and a blossoming film career?

uncle phil 12-10-2010 03:44 AM

I doubt it's ever associated with those things. By the way, my lovely daughter lives in Olympia, WA and is a grunge/garage band/punk Oly musician and talented graphic artist, I love strong coffee and my favorite beans for the last couple years are Gold Coast Blend from Starbucks, but I have no direct connection yet with any film career.

Hotmnkyluv 12-10-2010 07:59 AM

Is your state famous for giant trees?

BadNick 12-10-2010 08:12 AM

not usually. I think that's more like California, Oregon, Washington...and I'm not in any of those places.

Ourcrazymodern? 12-10-2010 08:26 AM

North of 40, west of the Mississippi, & not landlocked...

Are you in Iowa?

BadNick 12-10-2010 08:57 AM

not Iowa or any state that borders the Mrs. or the Great Lakes.

Hotmnkyluv 12-10-2010 09:29 AM

You couldn't be near any of those places anyway...
Now that you've shot down the pacific coast, if you're west of the Miss and NOT landlocked you're either gambling, surfing, eating crawfish, hunting walrus, or rasslin' cattle!

uncle phil 12-10-2010 09:47 AM

are you baking in alaska?

Ourcrazymodern? 12-10-2010 11:24 AM

He likes it up there, doesn't he?

Are you in a town?

BadNick 12-10-2010 12:56 PM

There you go...I'm in Alaska. I'd like it a lot better up here if we could just get rid of that Palin woman. Ship her down to the lower 48 someplace or send her out bear hunting with a pea shooter.

Yes I am in a town.

The Q & A session below is a bit of a vague clue about where in Alaska I am:

Are you closer to Juneau or Anchorage?

uncle phil 12-10-2010 01:20 PM

are you in a coastal town?

BadNick 12-10-2010 01:23 PM

not coastal...quite in the middle, and of those two cities, closer to Anchorage.

But even much closer to Fairbanks.

uncle phil 12-10-2010 01:46 PM

are you on the same highway as Healy?

BadNick 12-10-2010 05:02 PM

Depends how you look at it. Healy is on Alaska Stat Hwy. 3 which, if you head north, ends in Fairbanks. But if you stay on that road and go past Fairbanks, there I am.

uncle phil 12-11-2010 03:12 AM

pole dancing at the "north pole?"

Ourcrazymodern? 12-11-2010 09:12 AM

or "...past Fairbanks" continuing north?

you found me unc. I'm in North Pole at the Santa Claus House Santa letters from North Pole since 1952 | Santa Claus House

...you're up next, Unc'a Santa

Those little elve strippers are so cute as they slide up and down on the north pole. But they're hanging up their g-strings this time of season to get ready to help Santa deliver presents to all the good children around the world, including the southern hemisphere as previously mentioned.

So make your lists, check 'em twice, and mail them off to the Santa House in North Pole, Alaska.
