Northier than thou!

[Brimshack]

I am so much more northier than any of you right now. You wanna know how much northerer I am than you guys? At this very moment, I am so very full of northitude that I got Will freaking Rogers in the neighborhood.

That's how northy I am.

- northily yours,

Brimshack

[livius drusus]

Is that stuffed horse there too?

[Brimshack]

Roy =/= Will

[livius drusus]

Fuck that noise. Demand a stuffed horse or you're out of there.

[Brimshack]

I guess he isn't here anymore anyway, so I'll just say that I am northerer than MoosIbe, and as I recall she was pretty fricking northy. Where'd she go anyway? Doesn't matter! I'm northier than she was last I saw. So, I'm pretty damned northy.

[Brimshack]

No stuffed horses here. No live ones either.

[Qingdai]

I'm so northy, I've gone Norteña. You down with that, ese?

[Brimshack]

Oh that's amature northiness, I'm tellin you, not even in the same league as me.

Wanna know how much northitude I got?

wanna?

I'm so full of northiness that if I start walking north of here, you know what I find? You know what I find?

Water!

And you know what? I'm so northy I could just keep walking.

[Miisa]

Latitude 60.12 N. Bite that.

[Master Taran]

I got Will freaking Rogers in the neighborhood.

That's how northy I am.

- northily yours,

BrimshackSo, you're somewhere around 71° 17′ 44″ N, 156° 45′ 59″ W.

[Miisa]

71°?! Damn, that's hardcore.

[Master Taran]

71°?! Damn, that's hardcore.If Brim is correct, then he would be about that fur north.

[livius drusus]

What if it's just a largish lake?

[Pinecone]

Are you so far northy you can kiss a polar bears butt?!! :pbear: :kiss:

[Brimshack]

Well, I'm too northy for the sun. Bitch won't show it's face to me all weekend.

...too scared of my northyness.

[Brimshack]

I got Will freaking Rogers in the neighborhood.

Yawp! ...slightly northerer than that actually. Enough the taxis charge double to get there.

[vremya]

I'm too northy for my shirt, too northy for my shirt, so northy it huuuurts!

[Brimshack]

Are you so far northy you can kiss a polar bears butt?!! :pbear: :kiss:

Apparently, they are mostly in hibernation right now, but they issue warnings when one is seen wandering campus.

[Brimshack]

I'm too northy for my shirt, too northy for my shirt, so northy it huuuurts!


Too northy for my cat! Too northy for my cat. Now tell me what you think of that.

[Brimshack]

Latitude 60.12 N. Bite that.


Oh I had that much northiness for lunch and asked for seconds.

[vremya]

What are you doing up there?

[livius drusus]

Studying vampires is my guess.

Northern monkeys!

[Qingdai]

Yes, what are you doing that far north, Brim?
Why didn't you stop by the 40º parallel?

[roastelk]

yep your northier than me, I'm sitting at wimpy 54 north right now, been sent as as far 62 for work though.

[Demimonde]

We're not Northy!
:notworthy::notworthy:

[erimir]

Why would you want to be that far north?

My mom used to live north of the Arctic Circle, but I don't think she'd move back.

[Dingfod]

Brim is training for the Iditarod.

[BrotherMan]

More like Idiotorad, amirite?

:cheesysanta:

[godfry n. glad]

Isn't that 'Idiotroad'?

Me? Being so close to the 45th parallel, I guess I'm half-northy. Just like my being half-fast.

[Angakuk]

Brim beats my record. The northiest I have ever been was 66° 53' 54'' N / 162° 35' 48" W

[Plant Woman]

What are you doing up there?

Being a Northerner.

[Brimshack]

Actually, I'm here checking out a prospective job. Might be a lot northy for a long while. Not sure.

[livius drusus]

What happened to the Texas jerb?

[Brimshack]

Nothing. I applied to both at the same time. I like the Texas job, though it could pay more, but I certainly wanted to see what this job would entail. Both are really interesting places.

And at least once in life, I wanted to get really northy.

[Brimshack]

Oh, and do you know that when you buy milk as northy as the milk around here, it costs just under 10 dollars a gallon.

Shows you how valuable northiness is, right?

[livius drusus]

:stunned: The cows were all like, fuck this noise. I'm outtie.

[Qingdai]

It was all those cold farmer's hands in the morning, udderly unbearable.

[viscousmemories]

Jesus that's pricy milk. I bet the sushi is cheap though. :yum:

You're quite the adventurer Brim. I'm genuinely afraid to get that Northy, even for a visit.

[Qingdai]

61° 10' N 150° 1' W is where my husband's from, that's as northy as I've gotten. Dang, that's some interesting terrain. I checked out the google maps satellite photos, freaky.

[erimir]

You can try some muktuk!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Whale_blubber.jpg

Raw whale blubber and skin

[Brimshack]

Actually, if this comes through, I expect I'll be getting plenty of chances to eat muktuk. Unfortunately, I think I'll miss the Spring whaling season, but if I'm lucky I'll be up here in time for the blanket toss in the summer.

We'll see...

[Brimshack]

You're quite the adventurer Brim. I'm genuinely afraid to get that Northy, even for a visit.



Actually, it's not nearly as harsh as I imagined. Fairbanks has more extremes. I mean it's cold, but liveable. It's manageable.

I did do a doubletake at the guy in shorts at the airport tonight. I'm guessing he's not a tourist.

Oh, and if I am heading back up this way, then a certain meet and greet with youwill become a great deal more urgent. Can't leave before that.

[livius drusus]

I was telling people in chat the other day that Alaska is known for growing outlandishly huge cabbages in the summer. Apparently cabbages grow as long as there's sun, so when there's no night they go apeshit.

IOW, all-you-can-eat gawumpki and muktuk.

[Brimshack]

Cabbage and whale blubber. I'm all set!

The Mexican food here is better than it is in Texas.

Seriously.

[Qingdai]

Anchorage also had good Thai restaurants.

[Brimshack]

oooh!

That's worth knowing.

[Ensign Steve]

Damn. The farthest north I've been was Copenhagen, Denmark, at 55 degrees. I've been to Malmo, Sweden, but that's farther south.

That's silly, like how Minneapolis is farther north than Toronto! :lol: /map-nerd

I went at the end of June and it only got dark for an hour a night.

[Stormlight]

I was in Akureyri, Iceland this july. That's at 65° 41′ 0″ N, 18° 6′ 0″ W.

[Crumb]

The farthest North I have ever been was around 56:degrees:. I fail at extreme northiness. :(

[Ensign Steve]

That's 20 minutes northier than I've been. Where'd you go?

[Crumb]

Prince of Wales Island

[LadyShea]

The northiest I been is 56ish as well, in Scotland.

[Dingfod]

51°02'42" North is as far northy as I've ever been and 10°30' North is the least northy as I've ever been. Don't even ask about longitudinally.

[Watser?]

I've never been northerer than 53, on the Dutch island of Texel...

[erimir]

Furthest north I've been was in Stockholm, at 59° and most southiest I've been was in Costa Rica, at about 9.5°.

My parents and brother have been to South Africa, so that's pretty southy. My brother might have been the southiest of my family, if he had gone to Melbourne, but I'm not sure if he did, or if Sydney was the furthest south he went when he visited Australia.

My mom, as I mentioned, lived above the Arctic Circle for a time (during her childhood) so she's easily the northiest of my family.

[Angakuk]

You can try some muktuk!

He can try it, but I am betting he won't like it. Eating muktuk is like what I imagine chewing on a greasy inner tube would be like.

The southiest I have been is Bangkok, Thailand at 13°45'N / 100°35'E.

[Ensign Steve]

My southiest is Acapulco, Mexico, at 16 degrees north. I'm not even going to beat that when I go to Puerto Rico.

Which part of Scotland?

ETA: Where I live 55.866669 Degrees North, 4.433333 Degrees West (i.e. Paisley)

[Qingdai]

My southiest is Sumba, Indonesia at -9.7.

[godfry n. glad]

Hmmm....Northiest was N 64º 50', W 147º 42'...Fairbanks, Alaska.

Southiest was Maui.

[erimir]

Hmmm... for some reason I thought you'd probably been as far south as Bangkok or something.

[Ensign Steve]

Southiest was Maui.

Oh, spluh! I was going to say I totally forgot about Oahu, but even that's northier than Acapulco. Who knew? :stunned:

[Watser?]

I was no farther southerer than Abu Simbel which is only 21:degrees: (even so still a long way from Cairo at 30)

[ceptimus]

I've crossed into the southern hemisphere by just a few miles when flying to Singapore.

The furthest north I've been was while flying. I've flown London to Los Angeles and Hong Kong to London. The great circle routes take you well north on both those flights, though the exact track depends on the jet streams and other factors.

Farthest north I've been on the ground is Dunnet Head (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnet_Head) 58:degrees:40' when I rode a motorbike to the four extreme compass points of mainland Britain during a single weekend.

[Ensign Steve]

Oh yeah, I flew from Los Angeles to Frankfurt and we definitely flew over Greenland. I'm not sure that counts, though. :P

[JoeP]

I've been to the southiest bit of Africa - Cape Agulhas - but even that is only 34° 49' S, closer to the equator than anywhere in Europe (if my calculations are correct) and half of the US. And north of Melbourne (where I have also been - 37° 48′ S) and nearly all of NZ.

In fact more of Africa is in the northern hemisphere than in the south.

Northierestically, I've been to 59° 56′ N. Mrs JoeP has been to 64° 4′ N.

[Ensign Steve]

Northierestically, I've been to 59° 56′ N. Mrs JoeP has been to 64° 4′ N.

:stunned: That's fairly north! Where was it?

[viscousmemories]

The northiest I have been is Göteborg, Sweden, at ~57:degrees:.

The southiest is probably San Antonio, Texas at about 29:degrees:.

[JoeP]

Northierestically, I've been to 59° 56′ N. Mrs JoeP has been to 64° 4′ N.

:stunned: That's fairly north! Where was it?

The first one - I left it on an Аэрофлот plane - and it's changed its name since then.

The 64° - Reykjavík.

It was interesting but too damned cold

[godfry n. glad]

Oh yeah, I flew from Los Angeles to Frankfurt and we definitely flew over Greenland. I'm not sure that counts, though. :P

Yeah...I think there should be some kind of specification....like you had to sleep overnight at the location, or something.

[Ensign Steve]

I only had lunch in Malmo, but I spent 3 days in Copenhagen.

I wonder why almost everyone I've met on-line says that about Scottish weather :giggle:

[LadyShea]

When I left Vegas it was 105, when I got to Glasgow it was snowing

[JamesBannon]

When I left Vegas it was 105, when I got to Glasgow it was snowing

The east coast is actually the worse for the cold weather, because the gulf stream skips by it and because it gets blasted with Arctic winds in the winter.

[Brimshack]

Alas! I have recently lost the bulk of my northitude. I fear that most of you are now northier than I.

[Master Taran]

Happy to be back home?

[Brimshack]

Oh yeah.

But it was really quite interesting.

...sleep calls.

[livius drusus]

Sleep? It's not even dinner time. Maybe your next interview should be in Boca.

[Plant Woman]

The furthest south I've lived is 21° in Hawaii on Oahu. The furthest south I traveled was 19° in Hilo on the big island. The furthest north has been 50 ° on Vancouver Island in BC Canada. And being in the Pacific Northwest I'm at 47.6ish° in Washington. Not much further north and I'm waving at Canada.

[Master Taran]

Furthest I've been south is within 500 Klicks of here. 13° 59′ 0″ N, 108° 0′ 0″ E

[Brimshack]

Southiest I've been is Ft. Lauderdale.

[Brimshack]

61° 10' N 150° 1' W is where my husband's from, that's as northy as I've gotten. Dang, that's some interesting terrain. I checked out the google maps satellite photos, freaky.


Yeah, the only way I could tell I was looking at a lagoon is there was nothing built on it. But they're all over the place.
