No, No and No.

Shell the only Florence, Or I know is on the coast. I'm east of I-5.

I'm in a town (I double checked they did vote it back to a town in August, 2006) in Clackamas County, Oregon... and there's nothing to do here.

BadNick

since I was born in Austria, I'll have to guess: are you in Fucking, Austria? Fucking, Austria

check out this page I randomly popped up...I think it's pretty fucking funny

Shell

I should have known you'd know all about Fucking, Austria.
That was a quickie. I think you must have just broken the
where-in-the-world-am-i record for the fastest find.
The local tourist guide, Andreas Behmueller of Fucking, Austria says
that Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg,
Americans usually come for the Sound of Music shot around Salzburg,
the occasional Japanese tourist comes to see the nearby
birthpace of Hitler in Brauman..."but for the British it's all about Fucking".
My last destination you said had already been done here...
...I hope we haven't done Fucking here before, have we?

You're up, BadNick

Love ya, Shell. They say you can't fool an Austrian too many times so don't bother trying since I was born in Braunau.

I'll need a bit to find my next destination. I"ll report back soon.

BadNick

OK, as another famous Austrian once suggested: I'm back

So where in the world am I?

uncle phil

in your sofa, possibly even california?

pretty close, but no cigar, unc < that's not a clue, I just know you like a good cigar.

PS: do you notice how I added a little something to my reply instead of just "yes" or "no"? I'm trying to enhance discussion on TFP by adding such astute comments to some of our most fun threads in Nonsense....but I hope I don't make them into nonNonsense since that would defeat the purpose of the Universe as we know it.

Anybody have anything more to say about that? Personal experiences? Dirty pictures?

uncle phil

so let's get parochial - NH?

film at 11...

BadNick

yes to NH.

And just to discuss that point into better clarity, I mean Northern Hemisphere and not New Hampshire.

A topic for another day might be "who the hell put the "p" into Hampshire?

Next time I'm ordering hamp and erggs over easy.

uncle phil

WH?

but then it would be "new ham cheer..."

just visualize 8 or 10 pigs in skimpy outfits doing handstands and cartwheels in front of 70- to 80,000 screaming eagles fans...

...being an expert "discusser" that I am, let me enlighten you with my intellectual opinion about who put the "p" in Hampshire....obviously it was a man. Only a man can stand and "p" with aim with accuracy at a moments notice wherever whenever. Yes, let's take a poll as to who thinks it's politically incorrect gender bias that a man was designed with equipment requiring little more than a simple zipper release and no need for tissue even...just a shake and grab another beer....grrr.

...close to usa...so canada?

yes to WH and no to Canada.

unc, I would like to think of those 8 or 10 little piggies being smokin' hot...like in a BBQ! Just yesterday I got some from Phoebe's BBQ which used to be downtown on South St. but a few months ago they moved much closer to me, probably because I like to eat it. I prefer dry rub to the sloppy wet stuff but a little lubrication with beer helps get it down and the bubbles tickle. Sadly, I didn't get a pic of it so I can't post it in the "what are you eatin' right effin' now" thread which, I might add, was a thread started by Starkizzer and based on her recent thread in "playground", I don't even want to know what the hell she's eating now.

Shell, careful how you interpret my first line of reply to unc's post #9380 since you seem to have drawn the wrong conclusion. Understandable though, since you are a woman and there is absolutely nothing wrong with letting your emotions get the best of you.

Otherwise, about the "p" thing, are you inquiring more "why" or "how"? I found this authoritative treatise on the subject but please excuse the freeform spelling since we know you can't be good at science and language at the same time, as has been proven by other debates here that we needn't go over again. Here's the link to substantiate this reference source: Ask BadNick: Why do men pee standing up

Here's a brief insight into the current most advanced thoughts on this subject:

"...After time, scientists discovered that when men pee, their is just a jet from their muscle coming out, when women pee, their is no jet from not so much muscle in that area! So women can still pee standing up but make a mess, men still pee outside because for one thing, it is fun, for anouther, it is in mens nature, if on civilized person says DON'T PEE ON THAT TREE! Then dont listen to them, why not? it's good for the enviroment!..."

unc, yes usofa...and when you asked "possibly even california" above I said "pretty close" though my "discussion genes" got the best of me and I probably confused most of you. Sorry. Carry on.

unc, you didn't say "may I?" ...so no giant steps for you. Take a baby step and try again.


ps: on the discussion front, I wonder where in the world dear ring might be? At least from what I see on her post history, it seems she hasn't posted in over a month so that's why I'm asking/concerned.

uncle phil

i think if anyone would know about our dear grace, it would be OCM...

did you say "may I?" this time? ...New Mexico is el correcto.

Now keep in mind that I hope you don't leave me hanging here too long, so please find me soon. And also keep in mind my predeliction for superlative things and places, of which this place is one.


I'll inquire with Ocm? about Grace.
