Parents Hire a ‘Bigfoot’ for Kid’s Birthday, and It Ends in Disaster
Even though this incident happened in 2021, we still think it is hilarious. Normally, when you hire an entertainer for a child's birthday party, you get a clown or a magician. Or these days, you hire a Disney princess. Apparently, a couple from Oklahoma did not get the memo on...

More Than a Century Ago, a ‘Yo Mama’ Joke Caused an Ugly Political Incident in Maine
Typically, when people think of historical moments in time, 'yo mama' jokes are not the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps they should.

Hey Maine, we need to talk. Our state has been named the unhealthiest state in the region, according to a new report. Not great, Bob.

What’s With the Bumblebee Graffiti All Over Maine Stores?
Okay, I've had enough of whoever this idiot of a person is. Last week, I remember seeing a spray-painted bumblebee on the front of a store window in downtown Portland, and thinking, "I hope that person's happy now that they've successfully made themselves look like a jerk with their 'art'."

PHOTOS: Take a Peek Inside of Karen Read’s Mansfield, Massachusetts, Home
One of the most captivating and polarizing events throughout New England recently has without a doubt been the Karen Read trial. The details of the trial won't be outlined here for no other reason than there have been and still are so many moving parts to the case, ruling, motions filed after the dismissal, etc., that it'd be ridiculous for someone as uneducated with the law as this writer is to try and recap it.

Massive Halloween Event Returning to Downtown Augusta, Maine
For many Mainers, Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year. Much like Christmas, it is one of those holidays that changes as we age.
