Tul, my weird question meant, in other words, "are you in the eastern half of Nebraska or the western half of Iowa?" but now that we know you're in Nebraska:

are you north or Omaha?

Tully Mars 10-06-2009 10:10 AM

I the get the Q now. Sorry went to a MNF party last night and ended up with a bunch of depressed Packer fans. Not sure if these guys drink more or less depending on winning or loosing.

I'm south of Omaha.

BadNick 10-07-2009 06:21 AM

No, I'm not. But it looks interesting.

Tully Mars 10-07-2009 09:44 AM

BadNick 10-09-2009 08:15 AM

would you be in Nova Scotia?

I want to go there, it's so beautiful!

uncle phil 10-09-2009 08:22 AM

i would not...

but, i've been there - the places i visited were borderline desolate, but i've had the best fried clams in my life at a little bar on the southern coast near port moulton...

BadNick 10-09-2009 10:02 AM

clam up and just answer the questions! ...mmmm, I love fried clams. Well, I love raw clams, too.

are you a Newfie?

Before I pass into the wild blue yonder, I would like to drive the Targa Newfoundland.
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...jt/TargaNF.jpg

uncle phil 10-09-2009 10:22 AM

i'm not a newfie, and you can't paint my german porch, either...

BadNick 10-09-2009 09:19 PM

I guess I'm hunting for you through the Maritimes...are you in New Brunswick?

uncle phil 10-10-2009 02:01 AM

not in brunswick, old or new...

Tully Mars 10-10-2009 03:21 AM

Nova Scotia?

uncle phil 10-10-2009 05:03 AM

nope...

BadNick 10-10-2009 07:56 AM

BadNick 10-10-2009 10:57 AM

Opps, I need to start scrolling back more pages or drink more coffee prior to posting guesses.

I got no guesses right now, will drink on it.

BadNick 10-10-2009 11:38 AM

instead of more coffee, perhaps have a siesta.

uncle phil 10-10-2009 11:55 AM

mary's harbor is in newfoundland, i believe...

Tully Mars 10-10-2009 01:49 PM

So, just to be clear... are you on the Labrador Peninsula?

Sleep has been a problem of mine for years, not even on a first name basis some weeks.

uncle phil 10-10-2009 02:14 PM

i am on the labrador peninsula...

the one that borders quebec...

BadNick 10-10-2009 02:35 PM

how about Venison Tickle? ...that sounds kinda cute

uncle phil 10-10-2009 05:04 PM

i am not ticklish...

BadNick 10-10-2009 05:21 PM

by the way, unc, as far as I can find Mary's Harbour is in Labrador. Perhaps I can take this as a clue that you are north of MH since you thought it was in Newfiedom

So are you in Cartwright?

uncle phil 10-11-2009 04:22 AM

no...

BadNick 10-11-2009 04:44 PM

are you in a coastal town?

Tully Mars 10-12-2009 01:54 AM

Are we looking for a town?

uncle phil 10-12-2009 02:41 AM

nick - no

tully - i'm looking for an installation but i'll settle for a "town..."

BadNick 10-12-2009 06:30 AM

might you be at the Carol Curling Club in Labrador City?

Curling is so cool! I first saw curling in person when I went to Sarnia, Ontario on business, and they have a real nice large curling club there that the guys belong to, so we have usually lunch and after work drinks there.

uncle phil 10-12-2009 01:16 PM

east of lab city...

and i love to watch curling...

BadNick 10-12-2009 07:55 PM

are you at CFB Goose Bay Airbase? ...the first place outside the U.S. that a Space Shuttle ever "landed"

uncle phil 10-13-2009 03:20 AM

i am, and it's also the first place i landed when i caught an IG flight to europe back in may of 1967...

desolate country, but beautiful scenery...and cold...

yugo, nick...

BadNick 10-13-2009 11:58 AM

:) wild guessing pays off again!

give me a bit to figure out my next destination, please and thank you.

Tully Mars 10-14-2009 02:12 AM

Margaritaville?

uncle phil 10-14-2009 03:30 AM

kokomo...

BadNick 10-14-2009 09:25 AM

I know I can do the kokomo shuffle in Margaritaville...in fact, as soon as I have one too many that's what I do. But for purposes of this game, I'm not at either of those fine locations.


OK, where in the world am I this time?

Tully Mars 10-14-2009 09:39 AM

NH?

BadNick 10-14-2009 11:19 AM

yes

uncle phil 10-14-2009 01:17 PM

wh?

Tully Mars 10-14-2009 01:32 PM

Sofa?

BadNick 10-14-2009 07:32 PM

I'm in NH/EH so not on the sofa this time....I almost gave you a clue but deleted it until you get closer to me.

Tully Mars 10-15-2009 01:34 AM

Europe?

uncle phil 10-15-2009 03:32 AM

africa?

BadNick 10-15-2009 05:28 AM

not europe and not africa ...maybe try southeast asia

Tully Mars 10-15-2009 05:47 AM

Ok, southeast Asia?

uncle phil 10-15-2009 06:04 AM

or, asia proper?

BadNick 10-15-2009 08:09 AM

sorry, not s.e. asia, but yes in asia proper.

uncle phil 10-15-2009 08:21 AM

china?

BadNick 10-15-2009 09:58 AM

not in China.

uncle phil 10-15-2009 10:38 AM

landlocked country?

by the way, i will be away from my keyboard from sometime this evening until sunday night or monday morning. time for our annual roadtrip to sunnier climes...

BadNick 10-15-2009 11:24 AM

Not a landlocked country.

uncle phil 10-15-2009 11:48 AM

border on the indian ocean?

BadNick 10-15-2009 03:54 PM

nope


not much of a clue yet, but where I am has the largest something in the world

Tully Mars 10-16-2009 02:09 AM

Nepal

BadNick 10-16-2009 05:13 AM

not Nepal ...which is landlocked btw

this largest thing is man made

Tully Mars 10-16-2009 12:11 PM

Sorry missed the landlocked Q.

East of 120?

BadNick 10-16-2009 05:46 PM

yes east of 120E

Tully Mars 10-18-2009 05:40 AM

One of the Korea's?

BadNick 10-18-2009 08:08 AM

yes sir I am ...in the largest man-made thing of its category

Tully Mars 10-18-2009 04:24 PM

New Songdo City

BadNick 10-18-2009 05:19 PM

damn, Tul...I didn't even know what that was so I looked it up. In light of this, it's an excellent guess but I am not in S. Korea.

This 10-year development project is estimated to cost in excess of $40 billion, making it the largest private development project ever undertaken anywhere in the history of the world. The project aspires to make the city and South Korea the preeminent business hub of Asia.

When completed in 2015, the city's infrastructure will be a test bed for new technologies, and the city itself will exemplify a digital way of life. "It will be one of the world's first cities in which all information systems - residential, medical, business - are linked."

Tully Mars 10-19-2009 01:58 AM

Ryugyong Hotel?

BadNick 10-19-2009 03:34 AM

after looking that one up, I see it's another great guess but I'm not at Ryugyong Hotel, either. You are in the right town, think "sports"

The Ryugyong Hotel sometimes anglicized as Ryu-Gyong Hotel or Yu-Kyung Hotel is a skyscraper intended for use as a hotel in Sojang-dong, in the Potong-gang District of Pyongyang, North Korea. The hotel's name comes from one of the historic names for Pyongyang: Ryugyong, or "capital of willows". Its 105 stories rise to a height of 330 metres (1,100 ft), and it contains 360,000 square metres (3,900,000 sq ft) of floor space, making it the most prominent feature of the city’s skyline and by far the largest structure in the country. It is currently the world's 28th tallest building. If completed on schedule, it would have become the world's tallest hotel. Construction began in 1987 and ceased in 1992, due to the government's financial difficulties. The unfinished hotel remained untouched until April 2008, when construction resumed after being inactive for 16 years.

uncle phil 10-19-2009 04:11 AM

pyongyang arena?

BadNick 10-19-2009 06:31 AM

You're back and you found me!...hmmm, sort of.

I am at a stadium in Pyongyang, but the official name of the place is Rungrado May Day Stadium. The stadium can seat 150,000, which is the largest non-auto racing stadium capacity in the world. Rungrado May Day Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...0I/11w82zs.jpg

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...I/39360015.jpg

I was surprised when I first found out that Pyongyang Arena is the largest sports arena in the world....not including automotive venues which are actually a lot larger. For example, Indianapolis Motor Speedway seats ~250,000. It seems North Korea has a huge problem feeding its people, so perhaps they figured if they build a huge stadium, at least the hungry people can get ball park franks and popcorn there???

Tully Mars 10-19-2009 06:34 AM

After a little research I figured Phil had it nailed so I didn't guess.

So Phil... Yellow Knife Canada?
