Shell 06-08-2009 09:22 AM

BadNick 06-08-2009 10:28 AM

OOPS! Ignore below since I just realized Colorado is not EH :(

Shell, are you in Fruita, Colorado? Btw, I'm digging how we went from eggs to chick flicks!

I think you must be in Fruita, since that's where they celebrate one of the best recent chick flicks, The True Story of Mike the Headless Chicken

Shell 06-08-2009 11:34 AM

...you'all are making me laugh so hard, what with phil cryin' a river...and, tully&nick, you're not alone...we all have our hemispheres screwed up...lol....and then eggs to chick flicks haha

Phil......yes

Tully......no

Nick.......no

Oh, and here's how to make an egg glo in the dark...cool huh? (the dye must have sodium citrate in it...not all dyes do)

uncle phil 06-08-2009 12:10 PM

island nation?

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 12:11 PM

North of 45 lat?

BadNick 06-08-2009 12:21 PM

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 12:47 PM

Italy?

Shell 06-08-2009 12:52 PM

...affirmative :)

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 12:56 PM

Aye, aye Ma'am. What are we looking for here? A city?

Shell 06-08-2009 12:59 PM

...yes, well, no...more like a village or town...and i'm going there in one year with a girlfriend.....it looks so charming there but i've only seen pictures...and a short scene in a movie...which i'm going to MAKE you watch

uncle phil 06-08-2009 01:40 PM

mainland italy??

Shell 06-08-2009 01:48 PM

...yes, Phil :thumbsup:

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 02:23 PM

Tuscany? Specifically Bramasole?

Shell 06-08-2009 02:29 PM

...no, not in Tuscany...although it IS under the tuscan sun so to speak

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 04:13 PM

Does it have a connection to the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun?"

Shell 06-08-2009 04:27 PM

YES!....and your previous guess (Bramasole in Tuscany) was a good guess because a large part of the movie took place there but Diane Lane traveled south to surprise her italian "lover"...that low-down,scum-of-the-earth, snake-in-the-grass, slimeball, low-life...who had another woman there...grrr...i mean, who would do that to Diane Lane?...but, ohhhh...that village....gorgeous view....i mean...WHAT A VIEW!!!

...here's another village in Italy...Manarola, Italy that somewhat reminds me of my location:

...YES!! Positano is correct! Here's the short clip from the movie:

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 04:51 PM

Well not into chick flicks it took sometime to research it. But any place that lead to Mick and Kieth writing "Midnight Rambler" is probably alright in my book.

Give a minute to spin my globe.

Shell 06-08-2009 05:11 PM

...that was quick...NH?

Tully Mars 06-08-2009 05:21 PM

You know that's not exactly what a guy likes to hear from a lady...

But yes, NH.

BadNick 06-08-2009 05:36 PM

Very nice pics, Shell. This was like a world side tour while waiting for Tul to go hide.

I was gonna guess Cortona Arezzo in Tuscany...mainly since I found this castle for sale for only 1.1 million lira...or is that euros? Castle For Sale Under The Tuscan Sun Cortona Arezzo Tuscany Needing Restoration But Suitable Many Uses

OK, Tul, are you in EH?

pig 06-08-2009 05:44 PM

NW Hem.

Just looked it up on google to be sure.

BadNick 06-08-2009 07:02 PM

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 03:19 AM

No, but you on the right side of the Atlantic now. Head north.

Shell 06-09-2009 03:28 AM

,,,England?

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 03:31 AM

No, too far north.

squeeeb 06-09-2009 03:36 AM

Between portugal and england? france i say.

Shell 06-09-2009 03:36 AM

...okay...i gotta' get my map out then...unless it's france...i think an edge of france is in the western hemisphere

BadNick 06-09-2009 03:37 AM

so you're in France? ps: as Shell suggested ^


Are we looking for you in a city?

Shell 06-09-2009 03:42 AM

...Hi Squeeb...we posted at the exact same time...didn't see you there :)

...and good morning nick & phil (evening for you tully? )

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 03:43 AM

I'm in France. I'll take the city but I have a particular building in mind.

Shell 06-09-2009 03:47 AM

Yes

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

...actually, there are no cities on the coast in that particular area...only towns it seems...so is it Rennes?

uncle phil 06-09-2009 04:03 AM

pointe du raz?

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 04:10 AM

Inland just a little.

No, Phil.

BadNick 06-09-2009 04:14 AM

Shell 06-09-2009 04:22 AM

...Caen? If i'm right then hold out for someone to guess the building you're in because there are many interesting ones

It's not Rennes. But looks like you're right, there are no "cities" in this area. I was just making sure people knew they weren't looking for a geological feature. It's a place, people live here.

Shell 06-09-2009 04:45 AM

...are you in the Basse Normandie area?

...i guess i should just say Normandy...my map is all in french :)

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 04:53 AM

Yes I am.

Shell 06-09-2009 05:02 AM

...i have to go walk my dog...so i leave your for now with one more guess...Vire?

Now may the best man win...you're all the best in my opinion...

(...is that like "piss in your ears", as you say, uncle phil?)

:lol:

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 05:10 AM

No not Vire.

I'll be out for a while too. Have electrically parts to go buy. Hopefully after today I'll no longer be running the 110 in my house via the worlds longest extension cord.

BadNick 06-09-2009 05:19 AM

Omaha Beach?

I was thinking about the Normandy Invasion earlier in this thread but when I looked up "Normandy" it seemed to be in the EH; but now that I look up Omaha Beach, that's in the WH.

...the anniversary of D-Day was a couple days ago on June 6th

uncle phil 06-09-2009 05:22 AM

ergue-gaberic?

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 07:11 AM

Nick's got the right idea. Looking for a town.

Not there Phil.

Be back later. Working on a power issue.

uncle phil 06-09-2009 07:39 AM

No but you're getting there. Head south and east. A some what famous soldier hung around here one night... then went deaf.

uncle phil 06-09-2009 12:17 PM

valognes?

BadNick 06-09-2009 12:47 PM

I'm searching but so far coming up totally blank on the "famous deaf soldier" clue.

I'll throw out a guess for Carentan

Shell 06-09-2009 01:10 PM

...me too, nick. There are apparently lots of deaf soldiers as a result of war.

...and i'll throw out a guess for Saint-Lo

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 01:17 PM

No one here's big on WWII history I take it.

Phil's closest, Shell's closest to the name. I'm looking at my map to find Nick.

101st Airborne, d-day, some what famous soldier hanging around until he went deaf. Famous enough they still have him, or a mock of of him, still hanging there.

Edit-

Found Nick, split the difference between Phil and Nick and you'll find me. I'm just hanging around waiting for you to let me down.

uncle phil 06-09-2009 01:28 PM

sainte mere eglise?

Tully Mars 06-09-2009 01:46 PM

And Phil for the win!

I am hanging out in Ste-Mère-Église Private John M. Steele style-

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ohn_Steele.jpg

From Wiki-

Quote:

On the night of the D-Day (June 5-6, 1944), American soldiers of the 82nd Airborne parachuted into the area west of Ste-Mère-Église in successive waves. The town had been the target of an aerial attack and a stray incendiary bomb had set fire to a house east of the town square. The church bell was rung to alert the town of the emergency and townspeople turned out in large numbers to form a bucket brigade supervised by members of the German garrison. By 0100hrs, the town square was well-lit and filled with German soldiers and villagers when two sticks from the 1st and 2nd battalions were dropped in error directly over the village.

The paratroopers were easy targets and Steele was one of only a few non-casualties. His parachute was caught in the steeple of the village church in Ste-Mère-Église, leaving him hanging from its roof-top to witness the carnage. The wounded paratrooper hung there limply for two hours, pretending to be dead, before the Germans took him prisoner. Steele later escaped from the Germans and rejoined his division when US troops of the 3rd Battalion, 505 Parachute Infantry Regiment attacked the village capturing thirty Germans and killing another eleven. For these actions and his wounds, Steele was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor and the Purple Heart.
Window from Ste. Mere Eglise Church depicting the Virgin Mary and Paratroopers descending on the town

John Steele born November 29, 1912, his Social Security card was issued in Illinois, died of cancer on May 16, 1969 in Fayetteville, NC, just two weeks short of the 25th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

Today, these events are commemorated by the Airborne Forces Museum in Place du 6 juin in the centre of Ste-Mère-Église and in the village church where a parachute with an effigy of Private Steele in his Airborne uniform hangs from the steeple. Bullet holes are still visible in the church's stone walls. Inside, there are stained glass windows, with one depicting the Virgin Mary with paratroopers falling in the foreground.

Though injured and deafened by the church bells, Private Steele survived his ordeal. He continued to visit the town throughout his life and was an honorary citizen of Ste. Mère Église. The tavern, Auberge John Steele, stands adjacent to the square and maintains his memory through photos, letters and articles hung on its walls.

Someday I'm going to visit the beaches of Normandy and a few of these towns where so many gave so much. Also planning on seeing a Nazi concentration camp museum. After that I think I'll need to spend a few days or a week in some of the Italian beach towns Shell spoke of above.

You up Phil, go hide.

I still got cable to run.

uncle phil 06-09-2009 03:33 PM
