uncle phil · 03-08-2009, 12:32 PM

asia?

BadNick · 03-08-2009, 05:21 PM

not SH...not asia

So I'm in EH and NH, not Asia.

Tully Mars · 03-08-2009, 05:41 PM

Island?

BadNick · 03-08-2009, 06:11 PM

yes, an island

Tully Mars · 03-09-2009, 02:48 AM

Indian Ocean?

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 02:49 AM

sri lanka?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 03:28 AM

not Indian Ocean...so not Sri Lanka....hi MIA < not a clue, I'm just saying "hi"

Tully Mars · 03-09-2009, 03:33 AM

The Med?

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 03:37 AM

crete?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 03:53 AM

Not the Med...not Crete...though I have been called a crete < not a clue, just saying

Tully Mars · 03-09-2009, 04:00 AM

Persian Gulf?

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 04:18 AM

baltic?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 06:02 AM

not Persian Gulf and not the Baltic

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 06:25 AM

china sea?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 07:51 AM

not in the china sea

...I'll say that the reason I went to where I am is that it's counter-intuitive to me that it is what it is where it is.

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 03:51 PM

is it an island in a body of water NOT an ocean?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 03:56 PM

no...it is an island with an ocean on one side and a sea on the other side of it.

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 04:20 PM

like as in formosa?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 04:28 PM

sort of...Formosa/Taiwan has the Pacific on one side and the straits or China Sea on the other side...same idea, different place, but remember, not Asia.

uncle phil · 03-09-2009, 04:56 PM

as in madagascar?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 06:27 PM

another good example of the concept, but not Madagascar either.

Tully Mars · 03-09-2009, 06:45 PM

Socotra?

BadNick · 03-09-2009, 07:11 PM

Nope....since Socotra is in Yemen and Yemen is in Southwest Asia and I'm not in Asia. And you guys are dancing around Africa, and I'm not in Africa either.

uncle phil · 03-10-2009, 02:23 AM

somewhere in micronesia?

Tully Mars · 03-10-2009, 02:30 AM

So you're-o-peein'?

BadNick · 03-10-2009, 03:44 AM

Nope, not micronesia and I'm not o-peein....though I still find it a fun challenge to see how up the wall I can be o-peein < that's not a clue, I'm just saying.

As you're probably finding by now, like I said earlier, I'm where I am because it is counter-intuitive that it is what it is where it is.

uncle phil · 03-10-2009, 03:47 AM

north of the continental soviet union?

BadNick · 03-10-2009, 03:49 AM

...well it is "north of" yes, but not directly north in the sense that if you head directly north from csu you won't get to me.

uncle phil · 03-10-2009, 03:37 PM

novaya zemlya?

BadNick · 03-10-2009, 04:54 PM

head east to the North Pacific

uncle phil · 03-11-2009, 02:41 AM

severnaya zemlya?

BadNick · 03-11-2009, 03:34 AM

head more east and south

...wouldn't these Russian/"Soviet Union" places be considered "Asia" where I am not? Think "counter-intuitive" as far as "how the hell can this be in the EH?" ...at least to me it was highly so until I got here.

uncle phil · 03-11-2009, 03:40 AM

st. lawrence island?

BadNick · 03-11-2009, 03:43 AM

now you're cookin' with blubber! You got the right idea...but st. lawrence is in the WH. Look around there some more.

uncle phil · 03-11-2009, 04:48 AM

ostrov beringa?

BadNick · 03-11-2009, 06:19 AM

that's getting quite close...head about 600 miles further east but still in the EH...and not in Russia

uncle phil · 03-11-2009, 07:29 AM

the only other island east of there and west of the IDL is preobrazhenskoye...

BadNick · 03-11-2009, 10:21 AM

hmmm, that's not really correct, unc. here's a strong clue:

I'm at a place that is in the United States but in the eastern hemisphere!...in fact, it is the most eastern point in the U.S. for that very reason. I know I was surprised until I got here.

uncle phil · 03-11-2009, 10:37 AM

after sleeping on this for a while, i woke up in wake island...

but that's way south of where you've been directing me...
