Discovery also has another look-alike called Lobster Wars. That one is almost as interesting as Deadliest Catch since they're on smaller boats (with open transoms! OMG!) in the unpredictable north Atlantic and have an actual (albeit small and nearly bloodless) war going on between the different lobster boats. Sabotaged traps and cut buoy lines causing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses makes for interesting TV. Plus, they also have cool accents. ![]() Yeah, my dad slips back into his accent once in a while. He grew up on West Gloucester Island, most of our family is there or in Lynn/Revere beach area. They say my name real funny, I can't even mimic it. I remember him singing the old sailor songs, can't do that skeetin' scattin' whateverin' either, but is sure was cool to hear it. |

I'm sure it will make you ill to learn that many of my family members lived in the Lynn-Revere-Salem area, Naw, I don't have any problem with you really. I'd go fishing with you anytime, actually think we would probably get on ok as long as we stayed away from politics. Besides, I hate to blow your cover but a mutual friend has assured me that you are actually a pretty decent guy ![]() and that on D-Day, though I was only an infant, I was at Revere Beach with my parents. My paternal grandfather was a shopkeeper at a store at Revere Beach and lived a few blocks away. This was in the days of the Revere Beach amusement park. An aunt of my mother's lived not far from Revere Beach and had a small farm where they raised veggies and acres of blackberries. Actually, I had relatives living all over the Boston area. You probably knew my uncle and my cousins who would have been about your age. My uncle owned a huge boarding house on top of the hill, was an electrician, a local politician, also involved in national elections on the Socialist ticket. I remember the beach as a child, don't know if the amusement park was still there then. - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

If you can stand to spend a day within 21 feet of him, you'll probably have a good time drift fishing with 12 lines in the water.

You were actually one of the few...if not the only one...invited out on Harry's boat for a day of fishing. This is how you repay him.... jabs at every opportunity? That would be considered bad manners up here. |
