The next time you go to photograph your food, you might want to check the skies.

While visiting York, Maine, Alicia Jessop, a sports law professor at Pepperdine University, went to take a picture of the lobster roll she just purchased from Fox’s Lobster House.

It had the makings of a classic New England scene: lobster roll in the foreground, Nubble Lighthouse in the background.

But a nearby seagull had other ideas. Just as Jessop was taking her photo, the seagull swooped in and stole her lobster roll.

My question is why would someone from Malibu, California visit the coast of Maine? <<

That's been a question us natives have been debating forever....We should charge a lot more for a peek at heaven and “The Way Life Should Be”...

..but as long as the idiots go back to their hell holes...We'll keep letting them visit in small groups for a fee...
BTW...are you from Maliblew and paid the fee yet?

Well my question was from the fact that there are places in coastal California that are almost identical to Maine. Not Malibu of course, but drive north a couple of hours, and keep going.

Coastal California is cool in the summer. Maine is cool in the summer. Maine has plenty of coastal fog. California has plenty of coastal fog. California has wonderful seafood. Maine has wonderful seafood. California is loaded with libs. Maine is loaded with libs.

Seagauo are disgusting.
I saw one chowing down in a dumpster at a sewer plant.
It was the skim of the turf swirler pond that was collected for the landfill.
Yum!

I don’t know. I would never pay $21.00 for any kind of “roll”.

Shrimp roll at one of the better places on the Cape are about $10.

I’m not really a Lobster guy anyway so I wouldn’t even pay $10....or $5.

The Maine coast is incredibly beautiful.
I have been to that exact spot many times...it’s a small seafood restaurant very close to the Nubble Lighthouse.
Usually i just get a couple of hotdogs there...i hate those lobster bug things.

The Bush Compound in Kennebunkport is a fairly short drive away.
York Beach, Wells, Ogunquit in that area sooo nice...Bar Harbor further up..i get depressed when it’s time to go home.
VERY nice houses all around the area, if only i had $$$.....

This “Masshole” LOVES the state of Maine and it’s coast.
I guess i can say the same with NH and VT.

As far as i’m concerned i could care less if i ever go to Cape Cod again....

Having lunch on Clearwater Beach in Florida, a gull flew down and knocked my big juicy sandwich out of my hand, and within ten seconds a flock of other gulls had swooped down and scooped up all the fixings and flown off with them. Then some locals told me the gulls make a regular practice of this violent theft.

The Scientologists who "own" (who would like to) Clearwater are more crafty at it.

In the supermarkets in the Boston area, lobster meat sells for about $40/lb. - Tom

Yes, I’m aware of the Scientology presence in Clearwater proper. I don’t let them spoil my enjoyment. Democrats are a MUCH bigger pain in the butt. Clearwater Beach, across the causeway is beautiful, and one of my fave spots; even with the bandit gulls.
