Won't be an issue now anyway. I heard Maine failed its physical. Has MRSA.

Well whether or not a lobster sandwich is boring or not, depends on where you ordered it—and a matter of opinion. Lobster isn't cheap in most places—even Maine. I don't think one category is enough to dismiss my experiences. Afterall, even if you live near that state, doesn't mean you have been to most places there. But like I said, you're entitled to hate it.

Again, where did you go? Besides their toll roads, which are annoying. I agreed with you there.

I can't believe some mischievous mod hasn't renamed you to Rain Mainer yet.

I agree most blueberries are flavorless—just not Maine blueberries.

Or even Maine Man would work.

I drove from Boston to Caribou and back. On the way up, I took the interstate, and I actually kind of liked it. Portland had some interesting stuff to see and the terrain was nice. On the way back I kind of took the coastal highway, at least partway, and it was kind of a mistake. You couldn't see coast, but you could see a lot of senior citizens slowly pulling onto the highway from side roads.

I care enough about exposing this whole lobster roll scam that I'm going to make it my mission for a while.

Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me that.

L.O.L.

Come sailing with me next time on my brothers sail boat and we'll scuba dive for 3 fresh lobstahs to cook up for the most magnificent lobstah' roll you ev'r had. Pick fresh mussels of the rocky cliffs, cook 'em in wine. Finish it all off with a Maine blueberry cobbler. you can bring y'er wife. It just means we'd have to catch 6 lobstahs.

Can I come with? I'll take back all of those horrible things I've said about Maine.

I think Rainman needs to check in with his gynecologist and adjust his menopausal hormone therapy.

Maine is a great place to visit. We do a NE vacation about every 5 years, on average.

1) It's not a state to drive around looking for something at every corner.
2) Don't order a lobster roll. What the hell? It's Maine. That's for street carts in Boston that sell bread, mayo and some pre-cooked lobster.
3) You have to know what you're doing. Do some research.
4) There are some of the most beautiful B&B's right on the Atlantic.
5) Do some research.

I'd go on, but Rainman has his mind made up that Maine sucks. So be it.

Oh come on Rain Man, how else do you think we got the Maine Event. Just think, the movie theaters would not be in business without them.

You're only seeing the Maine they want you to see. You're not seeing the highway patrol abuse and the underground lobster fights and the bed and breakfast trafficking networks. Most Canadian terrorists enter the U.S. via Maine, and while I was driving I heard a news story on the radio about a lobster boat operator who was sentenced for threatening two guys on a skiff. Is that the type of America you want?

If you can buy them off the boats it's a lot cheaper. As with any seaport, any saltwater fish, etc.

I lived in Aransas Pass Tx, ate shrimp 3 days a week and some other fish a couple days per week. Buying direct off the boat or even the side vendors along the highway was cheaper than a store.

Had a great week in Maine last year. Ate at a place that advertised the world's largest lobster rolls. I don't know if they were really the largest but it was pretty darn good. Stayed at a little inn there on a small lake, spent time kayaking, hiking, seeing Acadia. Comparing Bangor to St. Joe. Had some real lobster at one of those restaurants on the docks there, was awesome.

It's very rural and slow paced there, but the natural beauty is just amazing. No traffic, no big city problems. Made me want to buy a big pickup and move out there.

Ain't that the truth. Here's one where I stayed on the mid-coast. Whole area was very nice.
