Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay 490
maclizard writes "The town's name is real. But when Josh Moore tried to tell Seattle-based Microsoft and the enforcement team at Xbox Live that Fort Gay was a real place, they wouldn't take his word for it. Or Google it. Or check the US Postal Service website for a ZIP code. I personally feel for those of you from Big Bone Lick, KY."

Noone's that crazy.
Just today I gave Bing another try, since Google wasn't finding anything (admittedly on an impossibly arcane thing, the searchstring was Elepturabiturcurcurru, which should be the original Mesopotamian name for Noah's ark according to a guy on a talk show many years ago, I never found out if he was serious or a crackpot). Googling yielded 0 results (after this post it'll probably be 1, haha), even when trying to change the spelling a bit or breaking it into 2 words. So I thought, let's give Bing a chance, maybe it magically stopped sucking. The word as a whole returned 0 results as well, but once broken down in 2 ("elepturabitur curcurru") it caused a "Were you looking for: elepturabitur curcuru" clickable link to appear.
Yay! Click. Wait. 0 results. Meh.

Dildo and South Dildo can be found in Newfoundland not far from St. John's, hard by Dildo Bay. Sadly, the first church built in Dildo, in 1878, had no tower, though it should be noted that two stoves providing heat shared a long chimney.
South Dildo's claim to fame for many years was a life-size wooden humpback whale head.

Didn't mean it as a troll? I think you might be stretching the truth there. I hope no one is sore at you, but some people find it to be quite a big deal. I'm surprised you tried to fit such a reference into this discussion. I mean, I don't want to be a huge ass about it, but your timing stinks.

My mother once tried to order a gift to be shipped to a friend in New Mexico. She ordered the item, specified all the details, etc, then it came time to set up the shipping address.
The woman on the other end then stated, rather brusquely, that the company did not ship internationally and that their catalog clearly stated that fact.
When my mother reiterated that it was in New Mexico, in the Southern United States, the woman (who worked at a call center in Texas, which happens to share a border with both Mexico (the country) and New Mexico (the US state)) yelled "New Mexico, Old Mexico, what's the difference? Can't you people read? I told you, we don't ship internationally!" and hung up on her.

You might not realize this, but your sig is hostile and transphobic, even if it is a quote by Carlin.
It's inappropriate to refer to a trans woman as a 'transsexual guy'
What if this guy Carlin is referring too has just made his decision and is not yet living as a woman? I think you are really splitting Harry's here.
