There’s a place in south RI called Nordic Lodge. It’s a $92 buffet but that includes tax and tip so when you back it up you’re paying about $70 for the food. All you can eat lobsters, king crab legs, snow crab legs, fried sea scallops, crawfish salad, lobster salad, raw bar, fried shrimp, even Kobe beef. I save up and go there instead. |

I also hate Maine. It's a popular vacation get-away destination but:
1. Most of it is too damn flat and boring. Driving to Acadia National Forest is a six hour drive through the exact same boring-ass, flat slightly windy, heavily treed, completely flat ****ing highway. It's like what I imagine the worst parts of Iowa or Kansas are like but instead of corn, it's just ****ing endless trees. 2. It's boring. Sure, if you want to go somewhere and do literally NOTHING, it's great. But if you want to do ANYTHING, you're pretty well ****ed. You want relaxing and slow, but with some options, go to freaking New Hampshire. Maine is Portland (great for a 3 day weekend, like once, but then you're out of things to do), with a desert wasteland around it, but instead of sand, it's just flat, boring ass trees. Bah Hahbah (Bar Harbor) isn't bad -- for like an extended weekend -- but the six hour drive through TreeHell is a pretty high price for a New England town atmosphere with extra tourist trap fixings. I can go nearly anywhere along the shore to get that, without driving so far and without the side order of massive tourist trap. |

Nothing is worse than driving across Kansas.
You actually get excited when you see a tree. |

I haven't done it, but I imagine you're right and that while I thought I was in hell driving forever through Maine, it was only the first layer of hell while Kansas is like the sixth... |

That drive to Maine sounds like driving across Pennsylvania on I-80. From Ohio to New Jersey, literally nothing but trees.
