Those guys are Mainiacs.
Bah Habah it something else. Spent a week up there diving, hiking and camping last summer. All good till you rolled into town and couldn't figure out what people were saying! Beautiful country up there, though. And the people are quite awesome. Just wish communication were easier!

I'm trying to imagine those first couple of years in the Kennedy Administration White House. Between JFK and LBJ, it really is a miracle that the Cuban Missile Crisis didn't blow up. Those Russians couldn't understand a damn thing the White House was saying!
Gotta be careful what you say though. Some of our own (and well liked) swampers originally migrated from up there that aways. Good thing they got out in the nick of time.
Oh, and the Dude with his head in the crapper is a Dudette!

Im allowed to make fun of New England, my moms from South Boston *shudder*, she was smart and went to florida on spring break, got knocked up with me.... The most annoying crap is she learned to talk normal after years of being free , but as soon as she visits or talks to the folks back home she comes back saying "Did ya pahk the Cah?"

Information on Boston and the surrounding area: Th ere's no school on SchoolStreet, no court on Court Street, no dock on Dock Square, no water on Water Street. Back Bay streets are in alphabetical 'oddah': Arlington, Berkeley,Clarendon , Dartmouth, etc. So are South Boston streets: A, B, C, D, etc. If the streets are named after trees (e.g. Walnut, Chestnut, Cedar), you're on Beacon Hill . If they're named after poets, you're in Wellesley.
Massachusetts Avenue is Mass Ave; Commonwealth Avenue is Comm Ave;
South Boston is Southie. The South End is the Sou th End.
East Boston i! s Easti e. The North End is east of the former West End. The West End and Scollay Square are no more; a guy named Rappaport got rid of them one night. Roxbury is The Burry, Jamaica Plain is J.P.

The smallest beer is a pint.
Scrod is whatever they tell you it is, usually fish. If you paid more than $7/pound, you got scrod.
It's not a water fountain; it's a bubblah.
It's not a trashcan; it's a barrel.
It 's not a shopping cart; it's a carriage.
It's not a purse; it's a pock - a - book.
They're not franks; they're haht dahgs; Franks are money in Switzahland.
Police don't drive patrol units or black and whites they drive a 'crooza'. If you take the bus, you're on the 'looza crooza'. It's not a rubber band, it's an elastic. It's not a traffic circle, it's a rotary. 'Going to the islands' means Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket.

The colored lights on top the old Hancock tell the weatha':
'Solid blue, clear view....'
'Flashing blue, clouds! due... .'
'Solid red, rain ahead....'
'Flashing red, snow instead....' - except in summer;
flashing red means the Red Sox game was rained out!
Most people live here all their life and still don't know what the hell is going on with this one.
Route 128 is I-95 south. It's also I-93 north.
The underground train is not a subway. It's the 'T', and it doesn't run all night (fah chrysakes, this ain't Noo Yawk).
Order the 'cold tea' in China Town after 2:00 am you'll get a kettle full of beer.
Bostonians... think that it's their God-given right to cut off someone in traffic.

Bostonian! s...always 'bang a left' as soon as the light turns green, and oncoming traffic always expects it.
