    Ha! I have a friend in Maine who I love to tease for some of his NE colloquialisms. Sent him a whole list of Maine words I needed translated into actual, you know, English. :P

      Yeah, it's kind of an infamous thing for Wisconsinites. And Kelley lives right in the same area as me. We did lunch a few months back. ;)
