:rose:

abu ghraib?

...uh ohhh :o tikrit is west and too close to the tigris...i blew it


:rose:

No No and No

But Shell's onto something.

ok, you're north of baghdad...
not in tikrit...
not in abu ghraib...
not in wasit governorate...
not in diyala governorate...
east of the tigris, but you can see it from where you are...

as sulaymaniyah governorate?

....just east of Tikrit is Al-AwjaAl-Awja Al-Auja or Al-Ouja...a poverty stricken village which is where saddam was born.....bingo?

...badbadnick? are you allowed to come out and play yet? we miss you


:rose:

No and No.

I"ll give you.... the Salah ad Din Governorate, I'm in a location with little to no amenities, I'm right next to the Tigris river, I have a huge connection to Saddam Hussein and, unless you've spent the past few years on mars, you've heard of my location.

...i can't take all this rejection :cry:

...i've had it...i'm going to the beach

...well, okay, i was going anyway and
i'll be back here tuesday night :wave:
of course.


:rose:

Don't feel rejected. You're missing the same clues everyone else is, think folks are going to groan when they get it.

Don't see how I can give any more clue without just telling you where I am.

I have a feeling Nick's going to show up, read the clue and get it right away. Fresh eyes have a way of doing that.

baji?

No.

Think of a small dark place with little air or light.

not that little fucking hole in tikrit where they found saddam?

shell already guessed tikrit...

That little fucking hole isn't in Tikrit, it's in Ad-Dwar-

Wiki link here

That's why I told her she was close and onto something.


But yes! I'm hiding out in that little fucking hole. Beginning to think I was going to be there as long as the madman himself.

Yer up!

well fuck me!!!

ok, where am i?

(aside from the golf course; i'll be back this afternoon...)

Umm, I'll pass.

But, well, what's Aunt Phil doing while you're golfing?


Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fl?

Break a leg.

North or South of equator?

East or West of Greenwich meridian?

one question per post, please...

tully - no

seeker - north

(and tully, for the record, aunt phil is in chelmsford, massachusetts this week and i shot a superb round of 82 this morning...you know she lets me golf a lot anyways...)

It was chip shot, couldn't stop myself.


NH?

NH - north of the equator...

Noted.... East or West of Greenwich meridian?

west...

Lesson learned- never crack wise regarding Aunt Phil.

Sofa?

perched upon your sofa...

East of the river?

east of the river...

north of the 40?

hi folks...I'm back from sailing, well at least we were sailing when we weren't in the doldrums of dundalk (i made that up, no such doldrum...but there should be). We had great wind on Saturday but no wind most of Sunday. Eating jumbo crabs an hour after they were delivered to the dock in St. Michaels is a sweet thing.

north of 40...

there's a stretch from north of dundalk on south that is very doldrumy. glad you had some good crabs, though. i prefer big freakin' crabcakes, myself...

Coastal?

WB Nick!

BTW- sailing without wind is also known as being adrift.

i border a coast, but not an oceanic one...

Are you in Michigan?

Ohio?

seeker - no

tully - no

the body of water is not a "great" lake...

Bay?

nope...

...sound?


...welcome back nick...the unsailing sounds like a bummer but glad you had fun anyway. I just got back from the beach and speaking of crabs, I had dinner at the Blue Water Grill near Wrightsville Beach on an inlet waterway where we sat outside and watched the boats go by...some of which docked right there, had dinner, then got back on their boats and left....and i must say they were the BEST crab cakes i've EVER had!


:rose:

So is the state you're in not coastal or just your specific location?

in Vermont?


see, that's what we did. After calling the harbour master in St. Michaels and a couple boat dock/slip facilities, we found that docking fee would be over $100 per day; so we could have anchored in the harbour and paid a few bucks to a water taxi to come pick us up and bring us back but they close shop at 10pm and who wants to go home so early!?! So we called the crab joint right on the harbour and they said we could dock right there while having dinner. Since we always have to be the last to leave any party, everyone was gone including half the staff by the time we were ready to go. So we asked if we can just stay the night at their dock and they said yes, probably since I'm such a handsome large tipper; so we had fresh crabs and a free dock.

unc, I have to agree crab cakes are the way to go. But every couple years I have to pick the crab apart to help me remember why I would rather just pay somebody else to get the meat out for me. On the plus side these were damn good fresh large crabs.

We also had a bunch of steamers which are those strange clams that look like baby geoducks; steamers are like 1-1/2 inches across and this is an adolescent geoduck:

^ that neck/sucker mouth can extend upwards of 6 feet from where the geoduck buries itself on beaches and just the sucker sticks out to get food.

I bet Tully is a geoduck expert since he's from the Pacific NW. My dearest daughter who lives in Olympia WA seeds the beaches of Puget Sound with baby geoducks as an environmental improvement project...if you can imagine having a large number of geoducks being an "environmental improvement"
