Quote:Yeah, not a real Mainer either. I was born/grew up in TX. Been here for about 11 years, though, does that count?
Nope. I heard a story shortly after moving up there of an elderly man who moved to Maine with his family when he was like three months old. He then lived in Maine for the rest of his life, passing away at a very old age (in his 80s or 90s if I'm not mistaken)....and his friends wrote something like "Almost a Mainer" on his headstone.
I think Mainers are almost as protective as their title as Texans.
