Paris, France.

Lamplighter 04-17-2015 06:39 PM

Mumbai, India ?

Undertoad 04-17-2015 06:40 PM

I'm probably missing the point, but...

P-22 vacates home, heads back to Griffith Park, wildlife officials say

No? Oh well, worth a try.

Undertoad 04-18-2015 06:33 AM

Yes; it's the same cat.

About 25 years ago there were several mountain lion attacks in Orange County at Caspers park. I think the cat in question was never caught. Nice Kitty.

Thanks all. I live about 5 blocks from there. Off and on for about 65 years. :bolt:

Sundae 05-17-2015 12:23 PM

You're being stalked...

Gravdigr 05-17-2015 12:35 PM

Lamp, Fargon, Buster and Sundae...you are all correct!

But, it's a light, friendly kind of stalk.

:D

BigV 05-18-2015 10:47 AM

More of a stem, really.

You been talking to The Person Formerly Known As Baby?

You can't go by anything she says, she's somewhat upset with me, ya know. She approached me in the bar a couple weeks ago, and asked to borrow money.

There was no ambiguity in my response. "No. No, indeed. Hell no."

Back this 'stem' thing...I prefer Sprig Of Love.

Clodfobble 05-18-2015 06:27 PM

Good answer, Grav! She was nuts to ask.

Attachment 53413

Yeah, the name of the city is on the sign. But, we have a few of those here in the good ol' US of A. Which of those is this one? And, 10,000 extra points if you tell me when, approximately, the sign was put up.

If you can tell me where, you can tell me when...

fargon 09-18-2015 10:58 AM

Looks like Sparta Wi. on state hwy 16. Why is that person kicking that other person?

xoxoxoBruce 09-18-2015 11:18 AM

I know someone who lives in Sparta, NJ, but that's in the mountains, so the photo isn't there. I remember a Sparta, TN.

Fargon, it's from the movie, Sparta.

Fargon, it's from the movie, "300"<--Fixed it.

Wrong state(s). And there is a Sparta, TN, but this ain't that.:)

footfootfoot 09-18-2015 11:36 AM

I am Sparta, cuz!

footfootfoot 09-18-2015 11:36 AM

Sparta, GA?

Gravdigr 09-18-2015 11:38 AM

Not GA.

Gravdigr 09-18-2015 11:39 AM

All the info you need is in that picture.

Remember: This is the "For Dummies" edition of 'Where Is This'...

Gravdigr 09-18-2015 11:41 AM

Gonna go ahead and assume that Fargon's post was his guess.:)

It is Sparta, WI.

Anyone going for the extra points?

Carruthers 09-18-2015 12:18 PM

WI, 2010.

Gravdigr 09-18-2015 12:37 PM

Standard points for Fargon for first correct Sparta.

10,000 extra points for Mr. Carruthers!


I went to the disambiguation page for Sparta, on Wikipedia. That got me to a list of Spartas. I simply went down the list til I found one that had a close population match, and then noticed the numbers were the same for 2010. Easy-peasy.

:D

fargon 09-18-2015 12:42 PM

StreetView:

Attachment 53428

Not 16, but 21 (Angelo Road) north-east of downtown Sparta, WI, facing south-west.

Carruthers 09-18-2015 01:38 PM

Sparta WI Street View Link

Are we any closer to finding out why that chap is getting a boot in the arse?

It's a re-enacting of the scene in the movie "300" where Leonidas kicks the guy and yells "This. Is. Sparta!!".

You almost beat me with your post. And I went to McDonald's while I was looking.:cool:

A fake background set of Seattle somewhere not in Seattle?

glatt 10-19-2015 12:02 PM

Seattle?

BigV 10-19-2015 12:13 PM

picture taken from the Queen Anne neighborhood. I could probably triangulate the park from which it was taken, but that altitude makes me think it was shot from a high balcony on the southern facing side of a tall condo or apartment building.

lumberjim 10-19-2015 12:49 PM

What Space Needle?

Gravdigr 10-19-2015 02:04 PM

I don't know from Seattle, but, I see 'at pair o' boobs...

xoxoxoBruce 10-19-2015 02:12 PM

Those are Toronto boobs.

Gravdigr 10-19-2015 02:26 PM

Ok, I'll bite...What are Toronto boobs? Oh, Tower vs. Needle.

Nevermind.
