bilby POSTSCRIPT: Sounds as if he didn't make it to BF. He detoured with his mates to do some mud-racing on the flats around Gunn Point. After inflicting a power of damage to his vehicle - including wrecking the bull bar and getting the exhaust ripped off during a tow - the group then spent a sleepless night being feasted upon by mosquitoes. He was back on Saturday less than 24 hours after he departed.

dontcry Ha! We always call it "East Bumfuck." It's just a surprise funny when you spring it on someone. I think it's especially funny because it starts with 'bum' and ends with 'fuck.' Kind of like the sweet and sour of jokes!

pterodactyl You can read more of these in the "Places" section of the "Placeholder name" article on Wikipedia. Apr 11, 2009
chained_bear My mom always says "East Jebip." For that reason I prefer West Bumfuck, since no one ever describes a real place as being "Place Name Nowhere" (or even "Place Name, Nowhere").

sionnach Well, I have some kind of metaphorical places and metaphorical, metaphysical places lists.
But I'm not adding this.
Because, you know, - FILTH!!!
And also, because I have always heard this particular location referred to as Buttfuck, Iowa. Which, as I have friends from Iowa, I am certainly not putting on any list o' mine. Apr 10, 2009
rolig You're thinking of my "States of Mind" list. Added. Apr 10, 2009
bilby I seem to remember 'metaphorical places' type lists ... rolig, pterodactyl? Apr 10, 2009
chained_bear I've been there too. Apparently there's no edges to it--you're always either in the middle of it, or somewhere else.
... Doesn't someone have a list of these places, like "back of Bourke"? Apr 10, 2009
bilby According to my flatmate, this is where he has gone camping this weekend. Right in the middle of it, apparently. Apr 10, 2009
