I don't get how "north" answers "30 lon?" ...I'da thunk it would be east or west of a longitude line and 30 lat is too far south to involve the rope :no:

uncle phil 02-26-2010 03:12 AM

sorry, east of 30...

not touching the black sea...

Tully Mars 02-26-2010 03:23 AM

North of 30 Lat?

uncle phil 02-26-2010 03:29 AM

north of 30...

Shell 02-26-2010 05:35 AM

okay, you said east of 15 longitude and not landlocked so my guess is Germany?

uncle phil 02-26-2010 01:14 PM

good guess...

(not correct, but still a good guess...) :)

BadNick 02-26-2010 09:39 PM

uncle phil 02-27-2010 09:42 AM

Shell 02-27-2010 12:08 PM

France?

BadNick 02-27-2010 12:30 PM

Am I correct in excluding Russia since it touches the Black Sea?

uncle phil 02-27-2010 01:00 PM

nick - you are correct...

Hmm, haven't heard anything. Chile's on the Pacific side, not sure how that would create a tsunami here. If one does hit here this place is screwed, the entire Yucatan is flat and pancake.

Shell 03-01-2010 08:57 AM

:wave: ...hello raj and welcome! You are working it just right...now just make a guess as to where you might think uncle phil is. We've narrowed it down to somewhere in western Europe and not a landlocked country...but not touching the Mediterranean.

uncle phil 03-01-2010 12:50 PM

amy - no

nick - no

shell - no

raj - welcome to the asylum; to enter, you must tell us how many testicles are on an octopus...

BadNick 03-01-2010 06:57 PM

"...testicles..on an octopus..." = balls so maybe close to the Baltics


unc, are you in Poland?

uncle phil 03-02-2010 03:13 AM

nope...

BadNick 03-02-2010 07:11 AM

OK..you must be in Finland or Sweden. Right?

uncle phil 03-02-2010 07:40 AM

right...

BadNick 03-02-2010 09:09 AM

Sweden?

...the Poland thing...now I gotta get some pierogies for lunch

uncle phil 03-02-2010 09:30 AM

nope...

BadNick 03-02-2010 11:01 AM

I'm jones'ing for a "yes"

unc, are you in Finland? ...ps: I had beef lo mein for lunch :(

uncle phil 03-02-2010 11:32 AM

yes, i'm a city in finland...

BadNick 03-02-2010 11:43 AM

uncle phil 03-02-2010 01:08 PM

a total of five members of the two teams were born here...

Shell 03-02-2010 01:37 PM

BadNick 03-02-2010 05:52 PM

go Shell! Snatching victory from the jaws of da feet ...I mean those toes sticking out of your bubble bath

Shell 03-02-2010 06:55 PM

:) ...okay, let me towel off, dress, and board my flight

Shell 03-03-2010 08:07 AM

...on second thought I think I'm going to stay in the tub and soak a while...I'm transferring my first class boarding pass to you, Nick. I know, no transfers allowed but just tuck a fragrant and pretty frangipani in your hair like mine and security will never know. All the free cocktails you want and a choice of 3 gourmet meals. You know you want to say "yes"

...i'll jump in from time to time but just
can't spend consistent time on it right now :wave:

OK, I'll take up the gauntlet, but only because that frangipani will go well with my new outfit.

As soon as I figure out a good place to be, I'll report back.

BadNick 03-04-2010 07:10 AM

Shell, I hope you're properly grounded so you don't get an electric shock while browsing the net in your tub! In case you need help, please note that I make house calls and I know how to spell "electricity" and I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once :thumbsup:

...i've never heard it referred to as a "proper grounding"...but certainly sounds like just what I need...you don't happen to wear a tool belt when you make housecalls do you? ;)

...are you somewhere that touches the Indian Ocean?

:rose:

BadNick 03-05-2010 11:27 AM

Shell,
over the years I've noticed how so many women seem attracted to "plumber's butt"

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...71408E1op4.jpg

but my tool belt area is more delicate and refined since we are working with electrons and charged particles...batteries always included....more like this one:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...5d6736f4_o.jpg

...please excuse the green paint but she was finger-painting prior to inspecting my tools

No, not someplace touching (< I'm getting to like that word) the Indian Ocean.

PS: other than the above "no" nothing else I said is a clue.

antarctica?

Shell 03-06-2010 05:36 AM

...nooooooooo...*shiver*
I think you might be right on, unc.

BadNick 03-06-2010 01:00 PM

unc, you are now chillin' in the right zone :thumbsup:

But I am on what I described as "sort of an island in a strange way" so put those concepts together and find me, keeping in mind I like places that have some claim to supremacy of some kind.

uncle phil 03-06-2010 02:15 PM

mcmurdo sound, until something better comes to mind later?

Jetée 03-06-2010 06:23 PM

Has anybody pinned down your hemispherical quandrant as of yet BadNick?

BadNick 03-07-2010 07:20 PM

Yes, Jet. In fact, I've been positively located in the EH part of Antarctica. Now looking for that superlative island sort of thing I'm on.

unc, you're very close. I was there a while back but now I'm out of that immediate area.

uncle phil 03-08-2010 03:18 AM

Great Wall Station?

Shell 03-08-2010 06:08 AM

...are you on a floating ice shelf?

BadNick 03-08-2010 07:52 AM

unc, no.

Shell, I used to be part of the Ross Ice Shelf but now I'm sort of independent and on my own.

uncle phil 03-08-2010 12:29 PM

the Great Ice Barrier?

BadNick 03-08-2010 01:23 PM

unc, you have the right idea but not quite on the mark yet. Now picture what might happen if one of those ice barriers were to break off the ice shelf. I'm looking for a specific one where that happened, and it's famous so it has a name and number....hey, you know my name, look up the number...nice Beatles tune

uncle phil 03-08-2010 01:43 PM

the London Ice Shelf?

Shell 03-08-2010 04:02 PM

...B-15?

BadNick 03-08-2010 07:13 PM

Shell wins again! You're up, hunny chi'l! That's a two-fer, Shell, congrats. Please note that if you read "the fine print" you'll find that it is not allowed to pass the baton twice in a row.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2..._the_loose.jpg

Iceberg B-15 was the largest iceberg in the world (measuring about 11,000 square kilometers) when it broke away from Western Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000. It held that distinction for over three years until splitting into two pieces in early October, 2003. It was larger than the island of Jamaica. Note that after almost a decade, parts of B-15 still have not melted. Iceberg B-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...0I/B15a_a4.jpg

A sad twist of fate: The B15 iceberg killed millions of penguins when it came off the mainland in March of 2000 and blocked the animals' access to the open sea. Researchers of Scripps Institution of Oceanography said, 75 percent of penguins' population in the Adely colony had been killed due to the iceberg. Even today, tens of thousands of penguin chicks face starvation because their parents have limited access to food from the open sea.

uncle phil 03-09-2010 03:25 AM

shit, i was looking for a superlative NAME; should guessed B-15 three guesses ago...

nice goin', shell...

...oops, I did it again.
You're so cute when you get mad, uncle phil.
Did anyone ever tell you your ears get red
on the tips when you get angry?

I'll let you relax in my tub while I'm traveling...take a deep breath,
smell the frangipani, use my bubblebath if you must,
and I'll even let you play with your submarine.

...well, amonkie, chalk another one up for the girls.
I'll be back after I consult my travel agent.

BadNick 03-09-2010 06:56 AM

stangely enough my search has led me to believe there is such a thing as a "frangipani sandwich"! So while I munch on that, I'll guess you're going to the Frangipani Beach Resort...but obviously you're not there yet since the beach chairs are all empty
