You Can't Get There from He-ah
September 28, 2009 Hi, Guys! Anne-Marie here. I live waaaay up north, in the beautiful state of Maine (State motto: "Crap, it's cold!").
In case you were wondering:
1. No, we do NOT all own snowshoes and snowmobiles.
2. Yes, we CAN make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without the use of a jacket or a flashlight.
3. Yes, we actually DO use the word 'wicked' in everyday conversation, and not just for the entertainment of you tourists.
Next, a few more Maine factoids:
State flower: The Pine Cone. Sure it smells like sap and dirt, but when your nose is frostbitten, everything pretty much smells the same anyway.
State pet: Moose. (Granted, this isn't terribly realistic. I mean, that grass is green.)
State Bug: The Lobster. Break out the butter, folks!
(Little known fact: When you drop a lobster from approximately three feet, it almost always lands on its shell.)So there you have it: A summary of all things Maine. Next time you're up here, make sure you try the bug. It's only two bucks a pound, ayuh!
Thanks to Allie M, Samantha P. and An O. Nymous, who are obviously wikkid smaht.
