Platonia is a mythical land where no one gets laid. Many women force men to live in Platonia, though most women do not realize this is a form of horribly cruel torture. Platonia is also known as 'The Friend Zone,' 'The Land of No Poon,' and 'Anywhere in the World of Warcraft.'

Many men place themselves in Platonia by way of their interactions with women, or by continuously leveling their level 80 Night Elf Druids.

There is no escape from Platonia. You may be granted a one-time visitor's pass to the Wonderful World of Poon, but this pass is granted without notice and usually only after a considerable amount of alcohol has been consumed.

The few women that live here are flat-chested or have an extreme longing for deep fried anything.

A species of parasitic insect living primarily in Central or South America. The most notorious of these flies is Dermatobia hominis, the Human Bot Fly. Like other Bot Flies, the Human Bot Fly deposits its larvae inside a hosts' skin, where it forms a protective tumor called a warble and derives nutrition from the host's bloodstream. After six weeks, the larvae punches back out of the skin in pupated form, leaving the warble inside. In this case, the host is a person.

Fortunately, impregnation by a Bot Fly is very unlikely for short term visitor, but any "bite" that a person acquires while in these areas should be promptly investigated. Although not particularly harmful beyond the risk of infection, but that probably doesn't make it any less disgusting.

Bot Fly larvae have one critical weakness while in the warble, which is the need to breathe air. Therefore, a Bot Fly can be recognized in early stages by a small pin hole in your "mosquito bite". The easiest way to remove a Bot Fly larva without medical attention is to fill a soft drink bottle with smoke and then hold it tightly over the opening. The larva will begin to suffocate and partially exit from the warble, allowing the host to squeeze it the rest of the way out. DO NOT PULL on the Bot Fly as it is anchored in with a series of hooks and will simply rip apart, leaving the host with a big mess of bug guts in his flesh and a nasty infection to look forward to.

Highland Park is an independent community north of downtown Dallas. Commonly known as "The Bubble," the community battles steriotypes such as "the kids are all brats" and "the women are plastic dolls." These comments are based on opinions, and have absolutely no validity in describing the entire city. Highland Park, as well as it's similar neighbor University Park, is a group of educated citizens who worked hard enough to be able to afford to live in an elite neighborhood, complete with a fantastic school system and safe streets. The community boasts the lowest crime rate in Dallas, as well as countless awards for it's students accomplishments. Due to early city architecture, 20% of Highland Park is designated as parks, hence the name, "Park Cities." To judge or describe a community by citing a quote from one teenage girl who happens to attend Highland Park High School is both unprofessional and unintelligent. Contrary to (common?) belief, most people do not need Starbucks "daily" to survive, and, incredibly, not everyone drives one-hundred-thousand-dollar cars. Highland Park is simply a concentration of educated people who work incredibly hard to live a lifestyle envious of many. Although making snide remarks about the citizens and lifestyles of Highland Park may be temporarily gratifying, perhaps "haters" of Highland Park should take some notes; after all, every other Dallas community seems to need a lot of help.

If you start your journey in western South Dakota, Rapid City is the
largest city in that part of our state.
