In playing up that I have been abducted (and Fat Cramer thinking I am in France) I thought "why not make it a game?"

So, I have been abducted and will provide clues to my location. The person who correctly locates me can either get "abducted" themselves and provide similar clues to their location or I can get "abducted" again and provide clues to a new location.

OK First place:

I am tied up and blindfolded. I can hear the sound of waves on a beach. I heard one person call out "Bon Jour!" and another person responded in a different language. I was fed a chicken curry dish made with bananas, pineapple, and rum. At one point I heard some rumbling and a small explosion. Shortly after that people outside were complaining about all the ash.

If I come across any more clues, I'll let you know.

Now do you want to be "Abducted" or shall I be again?

I'll go... but continue your 'abduction'! Hopefully future questioners can include you in the descriptions as well.

From Martinique, I have followed Quis' kidnappers back and forth over land and sea several times before crossing thousands of miles of ocean.

We are now on an almost uninhabited island in which Quis' kidnappers have taken refuge, hiding from the isle's sole caretaker, an environmental scientist from the looks of him; he seems moree concerned with checking the weater equipment than patrolling the island. I overheard one of the kidnappers say we are 112 miles from the mainland.

Several hundred wild horses run free on this cresent-shaped island; it is very sandy with mostly grasses and other short vegetation. It is often very foggy, helping me hide from the kidnappers.

I know Kent has a bit of a fetish for Canada. wink

Just as the Mounties were about to get their man and free me, my abductors whisked me away.

I am pretty sure that I am in a city. In the morning I can hear foghorns sounding. During the day, I hear a "clang, clang, clang" sound periodically. I also heard someone asking if this was the way to Telegraph Hill.

Suddenly, my captors whisk me away on an airplane. In this new place, they dine on raw fish with rice. I guess that makes sense, since they speak of attending a "diet meeting", although from the context, it sounds more like politics than like Weight Watchers.

Yep, the Bounty Islands are a grouping of 13 islands south of New Zealand and they fall under NZ's jurisdiction. Discovered by Capt. Bligh and named after his ship the HMS Bounty shortly before the famous mutiny.

Bounty being a popular brand of paper towels they sounded like a good choice to answer your clue regarding paper towels.

My, these kidnapers certainly like islands. Now they've taken me somewhere in the United States, east of Maine. When I ask them the name of the island, though, they never answer me - they seem instead to always be practicing for a performance of Julius Caesar.

I chose Little Diomede for the Shakespeare connection.
the barabara and the cold had me looking at the Aleutian islands for a Shakespearish name, but I came up blank, and the larger Diomede island is in Russia.

I'll guess St. Lawrence Island for no reason at all as my parting guess on this one.

Don't think of a name associated with Shakespeare. It's just famous lines from Julius Caesar that concern these brutes.

OK, I'm on the verge of leaving for a two-week vacation, so I'll give Kent the next turn, since he at least got the Aleutians.

The correct answer was Attu. As in "Attu, Brute? Then Fall Caesar!"

I thought that was "Et tu, Brute." oh, well. Happy vacation, amigo!

I have been whisked away to a hot, humid tropical place where I am fed lots of curry dishes. I get limited sunlight, but the other day it sounded like a huge engine blasted, perhaps a rocket.

Ack, I'm in the middle of a swamp and I think I'm back in the United States. I wasn't 100% concious when I was brought here, but I thought I caught a glimpse of Lady Liberty on the boat ride to the swamp. Those pesky kidnappers were whispering about meeting someone named Elizabeth to get supplies, or something like that...

Well, it is really cold out and the wind is constantly howling outside. When I fall asleep it is pitch dark outside and when I wake up it is still pitch dark outside. I heard one of my kidnappers worrying about being near another volcano and another one wondering what to do if Rockhopper Lad is spotted in the area.

Yup, I just heard the kidnappers say we were at McMurdo Station when I got whisked into an airplane.

The also mention something about bringing you to a LAKE (so name the lake). When you got there, the people there (you think they are European...) spoke no English but instead spoke a Slavic language (it helps when you have a Polish background...). It was a short flight to this new place. It is pitch dark outside and the sun still doesn't seem to shine... perhaps you are underground? The captors speak too fast and softly for you to make out any words you could understand. The only words you understood the captors saying are "Rockhopper Lad".

I think someone's getting close, things were packed up rather quickly and after a very fast and long elevator ride I got glimpses of sunlight through my blindfold and the smell of salt air before being loaded on to a large plane. At least two more have been added to our little party. Why have we been kidnapped? Where is help?

We've landed after several hours.

These kidnappers have resources but they sure hire talkative help. One language I cannot understand but sometimes they are speaking spanish. We've been driving in a Jeep or SUV for hours yet I feel hardly a bump. Funny, I still smell the salt in the air but I hear no waves and I feel some sense of altitude sickness.

Two days in a car. Bumpy, horrible roads. The second day, it gets warmer. Stickier. At the end of the second day they put you in a boat. But the smell of salt is completely gone. Many hours later you finally get a glimpse of the outside. The sky is full of parrots, red, with long tails. They all want to eat mud from the side of a cliff.

My guess is that they took you a mountain route to the "world's most dangerous road," (good thing you were blindfolded) then to Rurrenabaque (stickier) where you got on the boat, probably the Beni River.

Then?

Parrots and mud...

If I'm right so far I can think of two places.

Has there been a change in language?

I was thinking Pantanal in Brazil but if there's no language change,...., hmmm. Either still in Bolivia or must have gone north to Peru? I'll have to check with my Parrot experts and get back to you.

Last night we were packed up quickly and put on a flight. I cannot tell, which direction. We're now in a shack with no way to see or hear out but Quis keeps saying he smells somethong in the air.

Whisked away again. The kidnappers have strapped me into a wheelchair and bandage my whole head to hide the gag. I can tell that after we landed we were in a train. I could hear people on the train asking about me. The kidnappers said I was a burn victim. I heard an announcement on the train for L'Enfant Plaza.

Later, I heard one of the kidnappers say that we were in the building with the most stories in the world.

My captors elude the police by ducking through shelves of books, and put me into a vehicle which brings me to an airport, and an airplane flight that lasts about half a day. For some reason, they keep singing "Keep on Truckin'", though I certainly haven't been in a truck all this time. An interesting comment they made: one said "I'm glad I didn't need to change currencies for this place." and another responded, "True, but don't ask our neighbors to the west for change of a buck - they don't walk around with their money, they walk around their money."

Are these clues so tough that I should just chuck it and have Quis move to a new location? Maybe to a state in a country that is not so small it takes a microscope to notice it? (note: the above sentences contains two clues, but the question is also meant seriously)

Nope, you'd have to change currencies from the US to the Phillipines.

Recap of the clues:

- They sing "Keep on Truckin'"
- Place uses US Dollars
- Neighbors to west have coins that they can walk around
- Diving for WW II shipwrecks
- Territory formerly controlled by US
- A few punnish hints (to point them out would be to practically give away the answer) in the message where I ask if I should move on to a different location.

Truk is pronounced "chuck", which goes with your hint and your song. Truk is in Micronesia.

Currency to the west is "peso" so I'm not getting...

wait.

peso = "pace?"

That's bad. smile

I'm guessing Novelty's got the rightidea, wrong island.

Truk?

Truk, or Chuuk, is correct. Truk Lagoon was the location of the Japanese fleet's big base - their equivalent of Pearl Harbor - and diving amongst the wrecks of that battle remains a popular pasttime there.

The money to the west refers to huge stone money of Yap, which is the Micronesian state to the west of Chuuk.

Blockade Boy, the next location is yours.

After a long and torturous boat ride they hit the beach. The languages are english, spanish and a lot of "dude" and "knarley." People are dressed in many strange costumes and acting weirdly. This could be the end for Quis.

I think we were just there though I can see the reasoning. Not so many thongs here but a lot of capes and even wild animals of all types. Someone named "Cobie???" mentioned heading south for a donkey show??? Must be an animal lover.

Back in the boat headed west, landed on an island again. My captors are very disappointed. They expected to see a lot of beautiful girls in skimpy swimsuits, but all they got is deserted wasteland and a hyperactive Geiger counter.

I'm taking over.

From Bikini Atoll we flew on into the dawn. The pilot kept complaining about the light being in his eyes. My captors have dressed me up as Hannibal Lector(so I can't talk and ask for help), but no one here has noticed. Although A few have taken my picture. There are a lot of people here and my guards have been complaining abot the cost of the food here.

STU is correct. ($8 for a sandwich)

I don't know if STU will be back to post a new location, so, I'm just going to say that who ever wants to do the next one can.

From San Diego Comic-Con I was thrown in the back of a van and endured an uncomfortable ride. I'm taken out of the van and blindfolded, and marched for some distance. There seem to be a large number of people milling about.

I hear someone in a bad German (or is it French?) accent bark a series of instructions, and then I'm forcibly strapped into a vehicle, which briskly begins to move. When I manage to shrug my blindfold off, I realize that it's gotten dark, and snow is drifting in the background...

Though I can't say Chaim didn't influence my answer, it was inspired at least as much by Scott and Caroline's visit to Disneyland during Comic Con.

After we left Disneyland, my captors dragged me off to a very flat place. I vaguely heard a place name that sounded rather salty. One of the kidnappers mentioned someone named Dorothy. My blindfold came off for a moment and I was surprised to see a neo-Gothic cathedral.

Not Salt Lake City. It's not flat enough.

Flat, Dorothy and salty name are probably the things to focus on.

Chaim has it. Salina, Kansas, is the answer.

One of the few things I know about that particular city is that it has a neo-Gothic cathedral of the type one rarely sees in this country outside of large cities.

Chaim's turn!

From Salina, we drive directly east for about half a day. I'm then taken aboard a ship which is floating in the water but not moving. My blindfold slips and I notice the decor seems to be about 500 years out of date, which I overhear my captors mentioning is also how long ago this city's namesake lived.

You've discovered the correct answer!

(One tourist attraction in Columbus is a replica of Christopher Columbus's Santa Maria. That's what the first clue referred to.)

My captures fear that I'll soon be rescued from the replica of the Santa Maria in Columbus, Ohio. So, off I am whisked to the airport. We fly. We land. We fly. We land. We fly. We land. That took the better part of a day. Then we got on a boat for 6 days.

I've been eating a lot of curry as well as pumpkin stew and coconut fingers for dessert. The weather always seems a pleasant 70 degrees and there is a nice ocean breeze.

One of my captors said that no one will ever find us here. Another stuck his hand in his shirt before the leader told him to cut it out.

The boat takes me east. When we hit land, my captors express a desire to hit the beach, though they argue over which ocean's shore they should do so at. The city we're in seems to be preparing for a major international sporting event, though the residents lament not being awarded the Olympics.

Not quite that far.

Maybe one of the cliues threw you - it's debatable whether this city actually has beaches on two different oceans, but a number of places in this city are called the "Two Oceans (something)".

"Maybe we can get lost in a crowd" Said the leader. "But not a place that is crawling with reporters."

When we landed after the long flight, there was a torrential downpour. The driver almost hit a cow that was in the road. The leader bopped him on the head and said "Be more careful!" Still the streets are very wide and lined with trees.

Several young kids were flying kites. A mother yelled to them "Keep your strings loose. You want to have the kites fly very high on August 15th"

If he wanted pastrami, maybe he should have slaughtered that cow instead of dodging it.

He ain't going to find beef in an Indian Delhi.

My captors spot my would-be rescuers in the crowd. "Let's get out of here!" they yell, and we drive for hours - maybe a full day - over mountainous terrain. My ears pop. At the only border crossing we encounter, my captors have a little trouble with customs, as a new government had just taken over our destination country. They must be reading Gail Simone's Secret Six stories, because they seem to be discussing what one of the chatacters in that series would "Do."
