Most likely you are in the US given the clues, so I'll improve upon that and say... a state with NFL representation?

uncle phil 09-12-2008 03:42 PM

Jetée 09-12-2008 03:47 PM

Now I can try this guess once again, since it was originally aimed at a round in which I thought you were hosting... so, are you in a popular state that promotes the playing with pigskin projectiles?

uncle phil 09-13-2008 01:53 PM

jet - on the collegiate level, yes...

WTF!!! Big Ten but there are eleven members? Another example of why schools need to pay more attention to academics and less to sports.

I noticed that too when I looked to see exactly where the Big Ten schools were.

And yes, schools need to focus on academics more then sports. Too bad the debate team doesn't sell a ton of tickets once a week.

My guess is UP's out at a golf event and won't be back until later this afternoon/evening.

BadNick 09-14-2008 09:16 AM

Tully Mars 09-15-2008 06:35 AM

No to all three of the above.

US, West of the Mississippi River, not a state capitol and no NFL team.

cheyenne?

Tully Mars 09-15-2008 01:05 PM

No, but since you said "hole" I'll tell you a member of the "Hole in the Wall Gang" is said to have passed through this town.

No, think smaller. Much, much smaller. In it's heyday I think I read it totaled around 2000 residents. When I was there 2-3 years ago there were 19 residents according to the nice lady at the general store.

No, the clue was "capitalize." Go back and look at what words I capitalized. I believe you'll find the answer.

BadNick 09-15-2008 03:28 PM

ahhh, you must be in South Pass City...I found that at ghosttowns.com of all places South Pass City - Wyoming Ghost Town


An interesting thing I discovered while searching was that there is an Atlantic City about 3 miles east northeast from South Pass City.

Yes, I am.

I chose this location in part due to the current election. Wyoming is known as the "Equality State." It was the first state to allow women the vote. On February 17, 1870, Esther Hobart Morris became the first woman to hold judicial office in the modern world when she was appointed justice of the peace for South Pass City.

Esther Hobart Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I might actually spend next summer there. They have volunteer opportunities available and I have time available. I was looking at the Peace Corp, even had my ex lined up to take my dogs. But I basically got turned down, or put on a waiting list of unknown length, for the program I applied.

And yes there is an Atlantic City just northeast of South Pass. A good friend of mine found a gold nugget about the size of my thumb in Little Hermit Gulch Creek on the road between the two towns.

Butch Cassidy is said to have stayed in South Pass City on more then one occasion hence the the "Hole in the Wall Gang" reference.

You be up Nick.

BadNick 09-15-2008 06:00 PM

Tul, I hope your opportunity with the Peace Corp works out. That sounds like it would be a great experience for you and a great contribution to our community.

When I spent some time there, I remember learning about how progressive Wyoming was back in the day as far as equal rights for women. In addition to what Tul said about Esther Hobart Morris, in 1894 Estelle Reel became one of the first women in the United States elected to a state office, and in 1924, Nellie Ross was the first elected woman governor to take office in the United States. I guess the men were too busy being bandits and cowboys so the women took care of business.


OK folks, where in the world am I this time?

Tully Mars 09-15-2008 06:16 PM

Yeah, don't think the Peace Corps going to be an option. They seemed real interested then suddenly it was "don't call us we'll call you." Maybe they found out about that old bank job? So much for a 20 month stay in the South Pacific. Anyway that's what lead me to contact South Pass City. I knew they took on volunteers in the summer months. It's unpaid but you get housing.

Back to the game...

WH?

BadNick 09-15-2008 06:31 PM

yes WH

girldetective 09-15-2008 06:50 PM

North America, badboy?

(an aside to Tully Mars: What are you thinking of volunteering to do in Wy? You could Google World Teach, for some other possibilities too, maybe.)

BadNick 09-15-2008 07:08 PM

nope, east of the missus.

Between her two glorious hills I will find my treasure chest.

PS: that's not a clue, got nothing to do with where I am, I was just thinking about tits

Tully Mars 09-16-2008 11:36 AM

THE TATTOOED LADY


We went to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee.


My Uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
I never he declared
Seen such a freak so fair.


And on her jaw was the Royal Flying Corp.
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?


All up and down her spine
Was the Queen's own Guard in line
While all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships


And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sydney
But what we liked best
Was upon her chest,
A little home in Wai-ki-ki.

So north of 35, not landlocked and not on the coast, east of missus...that narrows it down pretty good I think. Give another shot at it.
