Skinheads, Downeast Style


On my endless search for hometown references, I recently came across this old clip from the Dana Carvey show. My primary gripe about "fake Mainers" is the constant failure to successfully capture the Downeast accent. Carvey and Colbert hit the nail on the head. Oh, and they aced the whole latent hatred of outsiders, too.

Indeed, plus LL Bean's "Wrinkle-Resistant Vacationland Sport Shirt with Stainguard!"
