Post by: theravenisdead on May 22, 2004, 03:12:57 am
Im bored, and I'm trying ta make a map of the US/Canada that shows a dot where every EHO member is located ^_^

I'm hoping I'm prominent enough that I've already been located.  But if not ...

I'm in the US! WHERE'S GUAM DAMMIT!

good luck finding a map that shows Guam big enough for you to put me on it :p Hopefully by around this time next year I'll be moving to Japan with a new job.

Oh and if you need a map of the world you can use this one that I found on the net!

That's a great map! ;D

My forum was nearly called 'There be dragons'.

It's close to 'here be dragons'. *states obvious*

Don't forget Rosh!

Saucer lives in San Francisco. Well, not exactly. But close enough (don't bother trying to find Belmont on the map). At another message board, long ago and far way, someone else was trying to do the same thing. but they were using a service where members could submit the info themselves, etc. I don't really remember what it was called though.

I live in Fulton, Missouri (home of Westminster College, which ruined their reputation as Churchill's Memorial by giving Cheney and Kerry a forum for making fools of themselves :[ ), which is actually pretty close to the middle of the US.

You live in Scotland, Lar? That's awesome... most of my ancestors were Scottish; and I've always wanted to visit.

You can pin me in St. Louis until June 20...at which point I'll be stationed in Omaha, NE for the foreseeable future.

Sigh.

Heheh... "The World According to America" reminds me of "The Conservative Party Map of the World" from one of the Spitting Image books back in the eighties... which had the Falkland Islands taking up most of the South Atlantic, Denmark labeled as "Porno Land" and Austria labeled as "Foreign But Can Ski in it".

Incidentally I'm also in the UK ^_^ Couldn't the British amonst us have our own little map?

My home is in Bridgewater, Maine in the United States of America.  Good luck finding it on a map, though.  It's a very small town about 15 minutes away from the eastern Canadian border, I believe.
