Oy! You’ve never been anywhere _near_ Massachusetts, have you?

Nantucket’s an island off the coast, and if you went there and told the locals they were a Cape Cod town, I’d put money on you not even making it to the shoreline before they caught you for tarring and feathering.

This inspired my favorite moment from that show, when Minnifield says something like, " I hired this hippie to paint this mural. He was so hopped-up on the pot, I had to add the ‘s’ and finish it myself"

Nearly busted my sack laughing at that comment!

Wife and I went to Roslyn and saw the actual mural and have our picture taken in front of it. Had corned beef and cabbage at the “Brick” since it was St. Patty’s day.

Hee Hee! Hopped-up on the pot! 😃
