Title: Where ya from MAP!!
Post by: Green Mountain Gringo on April 29, 2009, 06:06:36 PM
Love these widgits GOOGLE is coming up with.  The link below will take you to a map I set up.  Click the "EDIT" button on the left and put a placemark with your DRTV screen name.

I know we've done the "where ya from" thread but I like visuals.

shouldn't have to sign in.  edit button should be left side around the middle of the page.  when you click on edit the buttons change to save and done.  once you save and click done, it changes back to edit.  at least that's what I see on my end

Guys,

I can see your names where you have posted (GMM, E12, etc).  I do not see edit and I do not see 'sign in'.

There is no way for me to change that map.

Call me crazy, which I probably am, but I don't think it is the best idea to have a nicely laid out map of where all the "Right-wing Extremist"  are.  ;D

Now if I could do a pinpoint that highlighted the entire state, that would be fine. Since I can't, let me see if I can give you a rough description of it.

It's an oddly shaped state. It touches Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico... It's called Texas and I live somewhere with in the 268,601 square miles of the borders. Try and find me if you want : ;)

It is cool though to have a visual of where everyone is from, but my tinfoil hat just isn't thick enough yet to thumbtack a spot.

I put mine right smack dab in the middle of the largest lake in our state (which I live no where near)........ Zoom in and check out the satellite view ;)

That's where all your guns are now cause you had them in that boat that sank, right? Damn non-floating boats!

Love the icon you used on there too.

Haz,

I zoomed in on your abode...saw one of dem ring-tailed cats hangin' out eyeing that pool up. 

Just thought you'd want to know.   :-X

Hey, I finally figured it out. Not where I live, but where I hang out!  ;)

Cool idea.  8)

TT for the most part I don't care.  I'm more worried about the bad guys and crazies.  That being said, I placed two markers, one in the greater area I live, and another in the greater area that I love to get away to.  By the way I lost all my guns there when the quad sunk in the swamp.  For those who want to know more, the place I love to get away to has the same area code as God and is the 51st state.

I'm not too worried about the black helicopter crowd descending upon K-town; my position on the 2nd A is pretty well known in these parts - and I have a lot of company. Anyone who isn't aware that firearms related activity occurs at my place is dumber than an Obot and deafer than a post. The satellite view is pretty cool, they must have updated their pix lately. Before you couldn't make out the pistol pit just east of my house. Now you can see it, and the bench. Miracles of modern technology...

Nice find, GMG.

I have to disagree with TT up to a point. If all 4000 of us are on a map it shows the Elitists that they will never have enough black helo's to track us all.

Post by: Ichiban on April 30, 2009, 01:33:56 PM
Well, I wasn't exactly accurate with the placement of my marker.  Just didn't feel the need to get that specific.  But if you drop a low yield nuclear device on the marker, you will see a lot of fallout at my house.   ;)

If I could figure out how to do it I would have put a pushpin at Angelo's Coney Island. That's worth visiting if you're in town. They haven't cleaned the grill in decades so the coneys have lots of extra flavor. Yum.  :P

It's the street view that blows me away. Virtual drive-by on someone's house. They don't seem to have it at your location WG. It's still freaking cool you can actually see your pit and bench from outer space.

You've got that right! Ice is a tolerable additive, but other than that it's good right out of the bottle.

That's what I like about Jack ... The Crown bottle is a little awkward tipping to the mouth, but Jack was designed for it  ;D
