They'll trace it all the way back it's origins with the indigenous people of the region, tell us how the tools evolved and explain when it became more of a drinking sport than a fishing sport.
Maine Tourism Guides, Troy and Mark, Teach the Maine Accent
Troy and Mark are actually local comedians James Theberge and Ian Stuart. Written, directed and edited by Ian, the Welcome to Maine team thought it was time to teach flatlanders how to talk with a Maine accent.
The Welcome to Maine crew have covered the Portland Headlight, the Desert of Maine, Moxie, the B&M Baked Bean Factory, a pot dispensary and even Eartha. You never know where Troy and Mark will show up to educate you about the great state of Maine.
For this episode of Welcome to Maine they really dug deep. To find the subtleties of the Maine accent. For example, the French influence of Biddeford, Lewiston and Madawaska - and how the accent is worse when they are drunk. Apparently, they are always drunk!
Well, according to Troy and Mark - it s actually Yaaaaaamouth s Eartha.
Troy and Mark are actually local comedians James Theberge and Ian Stuart. Written, directed and edited by Ian, the Welcome to Maine team headed to Yarmouth to see the world s largest globe.
The Welcome to Maine crew have covered the Portland Headlight, the Desert of Maine, Moxie, the B&M Baked Bean Factory, a pot dispensary and upcoming episodes will include The Lobster Pound, L.L. Bean and many of the fun attractions and tourist destinations Maine has to offer.
Troy and Mark, despite their goofiness, did some homework on Earth. We learn that Eartha is 41 feet in diameter and is the largest rotating globe in the world. It was installed back in 1998 and takes 18 minutes to complete a full cylcle. The Guiness World Records came to Yarmouth and measured it - it s 131 feet round. It s also tilted on a 23.5 degree axis mimicking the earth s real angel.
