city?

BadNick · 06-29-2008, 07:01 PM

Well I was thinking of a city...actually a town. I think if you get generally close, it won't be too hard to figure out which town in the area I'm at since there aren't that many.

uncle phil · 06-30-2008, 02:46 AM

west of mississippi?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 05:53 AM

Nope, I'm east of big muddy.

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 07:47 AM

On the east coast?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 08:32 AM

yes, on the east coast...the right coast.

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 08:54 AM

Norfolk?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 09:02 AM

nope...I'm not in Virginia

...though I did know a Virginia that I would like to be in. When I was a young man, Viginia Bell was one of my hearthrobs and a big heartthrob she had.

Virginia "Ding Dong" Bell was a topless model and actress. She started her career in the 1950s as a burlesque dancer. Standing only 5'2" (1.57 m), her 48-inch bust was her most prominent asset. According to Celebrity Sleuth magazine, Virginia's measurements were 48-24-36. She is frequently said to have had the best body ever of any burlesque dancer or pin up model.

apparently photobucket didn't think this was a nice pic...though I beg to differ:

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 09:13 AM

Man, I love these vintage shots. I swear I was born a couple decades (centuries?) too late.

Are you north of Norfolk?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 10:38 AM

Yes, I'm north of Norfolk.

That makes me wonder if "Norfolk" means "Northern Folks"?...which would be strange since they seem to strongly consider themselves Southerners (in the U.S., that is)

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 11:19 AM

Well, in the Navy we referred to it as "No Fuck, Vagina." Not many ladies around, though I was never actually there. One of my buddies had a picture from there on his locker. Was of a lawn sign stating "Sailors and dogs keeps off the grass." Wasn't a popular duty station, never heard one guy say "Gee, can't wait to get back to Norfolk."

North of NYC?

uncle phil · 06-30-2008, 12:52 PM

navy people i knew in the 60s just called norfolk "shit city..."

in a state bordering on the atlantic ocean?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 01:16 PM

yes, on the Atlantic Ocean....but south of NYC.<<<<stupid me, it is north of NYC. I've been there so many times I can't believe I screwed that up.

Thanks. I did a little search myself, but came up with the Norfolk Islanders associated with the Mutiny on the Bounty & Pitcairn Island...and I found some very interesting language they developed there, combination of Tahitian, English, natural sounds, etc.

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 01:59 PM

Atlantic City?

uncle phil · 06-30-2008, 02:53 PM

asbury park?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 06:44 PM

nope. Wrong state. Not NJ.

ALSO, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANOUNCEMENT FROM THE MANAGEMENT:
Due to unexplained server motherboard problems, BadNick's post above said that he was south of NYC when in fact, he typed "north of NYC". We humbly apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.
The Management.

Tully Mars · 06-30-2008, 06:59 PM

Glouchester?

BadNick · 06-30-2008, 07:03 PM

Nope, not Glouchester

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE MANAGEMENT:

city on a seacoast??

BadNick · 07-01-2008, 06:42 AM

Tully Mars · 07-01-2008, 06:48 AM

North of Glouchester?

BadNick · 07-01-2008, 06:50 AM

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

uncle phil · 07-01-2008, 11:24 AM

in rhode island?

BadNick · 07-01-2008, 01:12 PM

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

Tully Mars · 07-01-2008, 02:45 PM

Plymouth?

uncle phil · 07-01-2008, 03:54 PM

connecticut?

BadNick · 07-01-2008, 08:05 PM

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

Tully Mars · 07-02-2008, 02:54 AM

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

uncle phil · 07-02-2008, 02:59 AM

provincetown?

BadNick · 07-02-2008, 05:36 AM

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

uncle phil · 07-02-2008, 12:46 PM

are you on an island?

like, as for the bucket, nantucket?

BadNick · 07-02-2008, 06:54 PM

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

Tully Mars · 07-03-2008, 02:08 AM

Martha's Vineyard?

uncle phil · 07-03-2008, 02:37 AM

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

WAKE UP, NICK!!!

BadNick · 07-03-2008, 06:14 AM

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.

Tully Mars · 07-03-2008, 08:51 AM

Okay, go!

BadNick · 07-03-2008, 10:33 AM

Tully Mars · 07-03-2008, 10:41 AM

Yes, sir
