Thread Name: BS: NH vs. Maine: What gives?
Subject: RE: BS: NH vs. Maine: What gives?
One of the ongoing problems in that area is the fact that the NH lobster fishermen see Mainers as greedy. We have 3000 miles of fishable waters, they have about 15 or so. Now, the fact is, no Maine fisherman can fish anywhere he wants. If a Kittery fisherman tries to fish in, say, Kennebunkport, his traps wouldn't last overnight. His gear would be cut off before he ever hauled it. So, Maine fishermen have no more grounds to fish than NH fishermen do. As far as performances go, I've been hired many times to work in NH. And, for full fee. The folks at NH Public TV told me that there is no traditional NH humor, and thats why they hired me to do some shows there. It didnt work well, I cant do the NH accent. Anyway...there is one thing NH has that neither Maine nor VT. has...Good neighbors! Kendall..running for cover!
