Clearly, Pat Buchanan has her.

I mean, he hasn't won anything in his career, so why not just throw the old guy a bone?

Didn't she get the death penalty? :p If not, then she's most likely in hiding Tasmania. Pat Butchanan's probably there too.

She paid me not to tell! Because I'm just corruptible like that ;)

RANDOM BUBBLES FACTOID: When I was a kid, there was this computer game called "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?". In those days, of course (incredible as it seems) computers were a rarity and us kids used to kill to play on them. I always wanted to play that particular game...but of course, I never got to. **sigh**

Hello!
The most obvious answer would be in Silicon Valley, but I imagine she's long gone from there and is now with Pat and his Barbie buddies.

When I was a little girl, we had this really ghetto old Windows 95 where we used to play Math Blaster. Then my older sister got a Windows 98 for Christmas and Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego? To play on it. We also had Where In Time is Carmen Sandiego? and an English sort of game too, where all the questions dealt with words and grammar and stuff.

hehe, good times.

So needless to say, Carmen Sandiego is clearly in Silicon Valley, expanding her line of PC games so she can corrupt the minds of children and teens all over the globe.

Anything related to Pat Buchanan, is my tip for any poll.

*shifty eyes*

And no I am not being paid to spread the amazing sensation that is: Buchanan! Why would you even suggest that?!

Carmen Sandiego was either the second or third computer game that I ever played (including Nintendo). The first was a Lemonade Stand game, and the second may have been a game where you piloted a helicopter and rescued people (keep in mind, both were two colors: brown and black).

I played Carmen Sandiego even after my family got a Nintendo and even after we bought a computer that had colors. It was a ton of fun to play, and I kind of miss it now. We eventually did get an updated version that had colors, but I actually liked the old one better.

And now I feel old...

:resists saying, "Pac Man? What's that?" just to annoy the elders: Haha. J/k. I do know what pacman is. :mrgreen:

Anyway, she's obviously in Buchanan's doll house! Eating peppers and mushrooms :shock:

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiage is such a classic game. I remember playing it on some very, very old computer a long time ago. Hours of fun! Up there along with Glider.

That said, she is clearly in Manchester (UK) with me.

Goodness, I remember playing this game on our old Windows 95. XD

I don't think I was ever any good at it, but it was fun! :D

That sounds so much like my house. We had (still have) a Windows 95, but it was Reading Blaster. Then, we got a 98, again, still have that.

Also, I think I've seen some recent games from her, so yep, she's in Silicon Valley. But, I still say that she likes to hang out in a doll house....

A long time ago, I had 'Where in Time is Carmen San Diego,", but that's off topic. I'd say Antartica, simply because there's absolutely nothing worth it there, so she has to be there.
