Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay
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."
"Mais oui! The name of my village in France is indeed Goatse! We even have a... how you say... website!"
Trolling is a art,
Not if they have any sense ;)
Microsoft sure pulled a boner this time.

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.
Vacuum cleaners suck. Kings rule.
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.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Almost as good as when my local paper reported on the football matchup between Virgin Valley HS and Beaver High: "Virgin Pounds Beaver".
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.
