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 • Apr 18, 2015 7:33 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.

You're being stalked...
Gravdigr • May 17, 2015 1:35 pm
Lamp, Fargon, Buster and Sundae...you are all correct!

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

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.

Good answer, Grav! She was nuts to ask.

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...

Looks like Sparta Wi. on state hwy 16. Why is that person kicking that other person?
xoxoxoBruce • Sep 18, 2015 12:18 pm
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.

Is that your guess? And are you gonna go for the extra points?

Because This is Sparta!!!

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

Sparta, GA?
Gravdigr • Sep 18, 2015 12:38 pm
Not GA.
Gravdigr • Sep 18, 2015 12:39 pm
All the info you need is in that picture.

Remember: This is the "For Dummies" edition of 'Where Is This'...
Gravdigr • Sep 18, 2015 12:41 pm
Gonna go ahead and assume that Fargon's post was his guess.:)

It is Sparta, WI.

Anyone going for the extra points?
Carruthers • Sep 18, 2015 1:18 pm
WI, 2010.
Gravdigr • Sep 18, 2015 1:37 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

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:

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.

The building in the background is where the ship "Celebrity Silhouette" was built. She is going down river to Hamburg for commissioning. And sea trials and such.
fargon • Feb 25, 2016 10:00 pm
www.ShipSpotting.com Does not have any pix or information on the Silhouette yet.
glatt • Feb 26, 2016 8:28 am
Yeah. I don't get it. Cramming myself into that floating office building for a week with 10,000 other people just doesn't seem like it would be that much fun. I mean sure, there's the eating and drinking, but whatever.

My parents did a cruise on a little boat up the Rhine and Danube. That seems like it would be fun. A canal boat through the British countryside seems pretty cool as well.
