See, I bet the guy who put that boat in his yard...as well as a guy near my house who has a small airplane parked on his lawn, seemingly to enhance his landscaping...these guys might have done this since they are probably a little like Tully and could have a bit of a reading comprehension problem...not to fear Tully, there are some gorgeous reading teachers in our school district

Anyway, so far we have only established that it is in the Northern Hemisphere and that was done by our beloved Tully, no less. Then we said NO to "island" and NO to "North America".

Now I'm adding YES to Tully's "Europe" and "probably yes" to uncle phil's "in someone's back yard" since I'm sure there are some people's back yards in the place I am.

So I am in Europe.

Clue: and not just any old place in Europe, this has a lot of significance to me personally, though I'm not sure how searchable that info might be.

No, I'm naming my boat the "Misguided Too." Until playing this game I didn't realize on how many levels that name would work. Plus after this game I think I've decided I'm going to need an auto tiller, chart plotter, and two back up GPS's... Hmm, maybe three?

yes I have a city in mind...kind of a small city/town.

In addition to it's great significance to me personally, it also has some infamy associated with it.

edit: Tully, yes, since I'm certain all of Europe is north of the tropic of cancer. Btw, strange coincidence: I was born under the zodiac sign Cancer ...no need to bake a cake, but my bday is at the end of this month. You're all invited to my party if you can find it

good guesses, but not those. Keep guessing, there are only a couple more possibilities for which country.

Clue: the significance to "me" is that I was born in this country/town. It is a quite small town that is otherwise not famous for much other than the "infamous" connection I previously mentioned, which I could elaborate on further if we need more clues.

ahh, good job, unc.

Yes I am in Austria.


I'm hoping this little town I'm in is not too obscure to guess, but I will try to think of some not-too-obvious clues if necessary. I wonder if you google "place where BadNick was born" if it will come up?

Here's a clue: this town is on the Inn River, but it is not Innsbruck. I still have my little boy lederhosen which my mom says I proudly wore when I was up to about 3 years old.

I've been in Salzburg, nice town. But not where I am now.

In Salzburg there's a beautiful castle on a hilltop overlooking the Inn River that my parents used to take me to on nice days. There's a large pool on one of the stone decks overlooking the valley, with a scary gargoyle face on the wall spewing water from its mouth into the pool...I still recall being afraid to look at it when I was little...now I would kick its ass! or jump into the pool...but I clearly remember the sensual pleasure and feeling of perfect safety as I wrapped my mom's dress over my face so I didn't have to look at it. There was also a garden outside the castle with a high wrought iron fence and a lot of deer inside; I recall throwing pieces of bread to the fawns and being upset that the big deer ate the bread.

Nope, too large. I'm in a very small town. Also, Vienna is on the Danube River, not the Inn.

clue: An infamous person connected to WWII was also born in this town.

Are you somewhere in the lower 48 of the U.S.?


unc, if you're in Philadelphia at the Eulogy Belgian Tavern, stay there I'll meet you shortly and buy you a few rounds.

Eulogy Tavern - Belgian owned spot delivers two ingredients missing from the glam and hype of Old City's nightlife scene: good beer and relatively down-to-earth people. The more than 300 draught and bottled international brews provide patrons with ample sipping options. The bar's specialty Belgian twiced-fried fries complement the homemade hamburger and sirloin steak sandwich.
