nick - no...

actually, we stayed in king of prussia and attended a religious ceremony in narberth for one of mar's cousin's kids...i'd forgotten how thoroughly miserable the sure-kill expressway can be, be it rush hour or any other time of the day...we'll hook up sometime...

North of 40N?

see, small world. I live in Narberth...the :hearts: of the Main Line...as they say.

West of 83 longitude?

tully - no

nick - no

West of 115W?

Tull,
I think since he said he's east of the Mississippi, he must be way east of 115W. Throw away all of your navigation devices and get a good navigator ;)

unc,
Since you like golf, are you at Augusta National in Augusta, GA?

tully, i already said not west of 83...

not augusta...

Could have swore you said W of Miss. I promise if these guy don't stop pounding on the roof next door soon I'll drop out of the game.

Florida?

i got one of these on e-bay a couple of weeks ago...

Are you in North Carolina?

Believe it or not I have my pilots license and I do sail. And I have a Garmin 60CSx with the map source software. I've just got this construction going on right out my window, non-stop pounding night and day for weeks now. I went to make coffee this morning and waited and waited, finally realized- you have to add water as well as coffee grounds.

I'd go stay at a hotel at this point if it weren't for my two dogs.

/ end thread jack, sorry

sorry to hear of your problems, Tul. I won't make negative comments about your navigation abilities again since that noise would drive me nuts.

I really didn't take it negative. Thought it was kind of funny, course for some reason I'm finding humor in odd things lately.

But I don't want to be mucking up the gears for everyone else.

5-6 weeks now they have to be done soon.

tully - yes

nick - no

i love this thread...

Ft. Myers

Are you south of Orlando?

Miami...

Little Havana?

North of Miami?

yes...

On the gulf coastline?

Tampa

Two words...

Ear Plugs.

After looking for weeks I finally found a store that had ear plugs.

OK go!

city?

Are you in Europe?



...this game suddenly reminded me of a TV show I really liked when I was a kid...so that's ~50 years ago. It was "What in the World" done by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology...still one of my favorite museums in Philly. Here's a blurb about it:

""...What in the World?® was the Museum's popular weekly half-hour television program which was first seen in 1951 and which ran for 14 years. By the early 60s it was one of the oldest programs on television, bringing positive reviews and a steady stream of fanmail to the Museum which continues to this day.

On each What in the World?® program, four or five unidentified objects were presented to a panel of experts who were asked to guess what each piece was, where it came from, how old it was, and how it was used. Objects were selected from storerooms and had never before been seen by the panel. Before the experts guessed, the audience was told what the object was, and, during the course of the program, could watch the thought processes of real --and often fallible!-- anthropologists and archaeologists....""

I don't think it was this show but a similar show where the panel were blindfolded and had to evaluate the objects just by touch and sometimes they were fakes.

Uncle Phil- Yes

BadNick- No

Are you in North America?

No, wrong Hem.

I'll be leaving shortly, have a group of cruisers I have to take out to Chichen Itza. Their ship departs at 5 so I'll be back early eve.

Are you in Africa?

Damn, Tully, I didn't know you were really in the Yucatan! Don't fall into any cenotes.

No, I'll give you the Cont.

Asia

Yep, really in Yucatan. Progreso to be exact. Actually falling in a cenote can be a good thing. Great dives.

I'm late- I'll be back.

in china?

in India?

Nick- no

Uncle Phil- yes

peking...

or, to some of us purists, peiping?

No

ok...landlocked?

Yes.

Sorry had to go get a bite, no time to cook today.

How about Lhasa?

No.

Just five rings and you're there.

Five rings suggests Olympics to me, which makes me think Beijing, but since uncle phil already said Peking...and as he said: "or, to some of us purists, peiping" I assume it can't be Beijing...unless Tully's noise problem is acting up again.

So how about Norbulingka...since I think the Olympic torch started from there on the way to Lhasa.

chung king?

BN- No, but you're on the right path with the torch route.

UP- No

hainan?

No

Xinjiang Province

shihezi?

No, but one more stop and you're there.

ah, good ol' changji...

Bingo!

It was on my Google new home page as having the torch there yesterday, but after looking at the schedule I think the article was a day off.

Off to the gym and beach.

Go UP.

ok...

where the hell am i?

NH?

EH?

tully - yes

nick - yes

after i get new hampshire and canada out of my mind...

Yeah we're getting kind of shorthand in this game, speaking short handed I too really like this thread. But somehow feel it's sad it's down to just us three playing. Three guys playing with themselves just doesn't sound right.

North East Hem...

Ok, Europe?

mine's bigger than yours'

Are you somewhere in the U.K.?

tully - yes

nick - no...

Landlocked?

Are you in a Scandanavian country?

tully - unsure what you mean - country, city, park, river, mountain?

nick - yes...

Ok, city?

Not that I think it has anything to do with uncle phil, but I heard something is rotten in the state of Denmark...

are you in Denmark?

tully - yes

nick - no...

Norway?

tully - yes

clue - 654

Well I was going to say Helsinki, but that's Finland.

Oslo?

nope...

another clue - more a village than a "city..."

Eide?

ENE of eide...and smaller...

Ibestad?

way, way south of there, and smaller...

again, look at #654...

Isfjorden?

tully, i've got to give you this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid...=1&sa=N&tab=wl

Sorry that doesn't seem to help me. All I get is "sorry we don't have images at this level try zooming out." When I do zoom out I get nothing but fairly large towns, no small villages. I've been zooming in on north Norway for a while now and this seem to be all I get.

I'm assuming the village has "am" "I" or "hell" in it but can't see it.

it's a google map of Hell, Norway, just east of Trondheim, on the northern edge of that southern "bulge" before Norway narrows out toward the north...

Ok I guess Hell, Norway. LOL

You should go again UP

no, it's yours...you worked your ass off for it...

you didn't get the "where the hell am i" clue in the beginning?

Are you in Hell, Norway? ;)


...ok, where we goin' next?

tully's drivin' the GPS...

we're waiting Tul...

Sorry, didn't make it home last night. Which as I'm sure you can figure out is good news and bad news. Good news is I''ll probably be smiling all day. Bad news is I'm sore... but in all the right places. Other bad news is I have to drive her to the airport later today.

OK where am I?

new hampshire?

Yes, Northern Hem.

western hemisphere?

No

africa?

No

europe?

No

Walk dogs will be back shortly

that leaves...asia?

Yes, that leaves me in Asia.

city?

Just looking for the country this time.

part of old U.S.S.R?

No

are you in Vietnam?

east of india?
