Women march topless in Portland without incident
PORTLAND â?? About two dozen women marched topless from Longfellow Square to Tommy’s Park this afternoon in an effort to erase what they see as a double standard on male and female nudity.
…
Police said there were no incidents and no arrests â?? nudity is illegal in Maine only if genitals are displayed.
…
Ty McDowell, who organized the march, said she was “enraged” by the turnout of men attracted to the demonstration. The purpose, she said, was for society to have the same reaction to a woman walking around topless as it does to men without shirts on. (SteelyD note: LMFAO!)
However, McDowell said she plans to organize similar demonstrations in the future and said she would be more “aggressive” in discouraging oglers.
haha, what the fuck did they expect? The society that shuns your toplessness has bred these men who ogled you.
That is outrageous.
Maine women take to the gridiron
Saturday will be a different kind of ladiesâ?? night at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland. At 8 pm, the Maine Rebels â?? Maineâ??s only semi-professional football team, a member of the International Womenâ??s Football League â?? will face the New Jersey Justice, in their first home game of the season.
The teamâ??s motto is: â??Real Women . . . Playing Real Football . . . Itâ??s the Real Dealâ?? â?? and yes, that means that thereâ??s full-contact tackling involved.
…
Players pay $1000 to be on the Rebels (a fundraising program is available to help those who canâ??t pay out of pocket); they get a free gym membership and other small perks in addition to the oft-cited empowering intangibles. Theyâ??ve been practicing together since January at the Expo Center, the University of New England, and on the field, under the supervision of coach Monty Ellison and a few assistant coaches (also male). They lost their first game of the season, against the highly ranked New England Intensity, last week (28-0).
Over the course of their eight-game season, the team is hoping to capitalize not only on the novelty of women tackling women, but on a more generalized sports fever that seems to be spreading through the state.

April 20
An Adams Street resident reported that naked male with long black hair and carrying a voodoo doll came to his front door and asked to use his shower. The man said the nude fellow left heading toward Northern Avenue.
April 24
On Deane Street, a mother told police that her 6-year-old son was refusing to wear his bicycle helmet. She wanted an officer to threaten the lad with a summons to scare him into wearing the helmet.
April 22
At 8:51 p.m., a caller reported that her children, who were on a dirt portion of the Weeks Road that connects to the Beedle Road in Richmond, called and told her there were â??body parts and bonesâ?? in and around a vehicle. Police concluded the remains were bovine, rather than human, as there is a cattle farm close by.

Lol, now THIS takes the cake.
My neighbor last year cut off his girlfriends head, had sex with her, arranged her on the floor and set her on fire. Maine only seems to go from retarded crime to crazy shit. We don’t bother with that middle of the road stuff.

No shit. I remember this story now, but didn’t really catch those details.

Well, I knew there was a reason most of Stephen King’s stories are set in Maine.

Breaking News: Guilty On All Counts: Jury Convicts 80-Year-Old Somerville Woman Of Assault
Fern Clark, 80, was found guilty today in Lincoln County Superior Court of assault on a police officer along with two counts of violation of conditions of release stemming from a random search of her home in October 2008.
[b]A great-grandmother of seven from Somerville, Clark reacted to the verdict much the same way as she did to each development in her May 13-14 trial: without censorship.
Clark listened to the entire trial with the assistance of a court-provided hearing device and did not appear to understand the verdict as it was delivered.[/b] As the court went into recess, however, her son, Matthew Clark, a witness in the trial, explained the verdict.
“Those sons of [expletive],” she said.
Outside the courtroom after the verdict, she made her disappointment known. “It’s pretty [expletive] good when an officer can get away with trying to fool around with an old woman.”
Clark also had a message for Assistant District Attorney Andrew Wright, who represented the state in the case.
“I’ll have something for that D.A. he isn’t looking for,” she said.

Horses fall out of trailer, cause brief interstate closure
OLD TOWN, Maine. Members of a Palermo family heading north on Interstate 95 with their two draft horses early Wednesday didn’t notice when they lost the horses near Exit 197, Maine State Police Trooper Josh D’Angelo said.
The workhorses were tethered inside the back section of the horse carrier, and somehow the back gate to the trailer opened and the horses came out at around 6:30 a.m., he said. The horses were later seen walking around after having landed in a ditch.
Greg Smith of Houlton, who was driving behind the family, didn’t see the trailer gate open but did see something in the ditch rolling, he said. (LOL!)
When I got closer I noticed it was a horse, said Smith, a volunteer firefighter from Linneus. I was probably 900 feet or so away and had plenty of time to stop.

I love Maine though. Actually all of northern New England is absolutely gorgeous.[/quote]
It’s as nice as it is in the movies, right? I really want to go there for a vacation from reality. Small town on the water. I’d love that.
