Interview with a Maine Lobsterman

At the Common Ground Country Fair in Maine, the OrganicNation.tv crew got a chance to talk with Ty Babb, a charming lobster fisherman from Tenants Harbor on the coast of Maine. In this video, Ty talks about sustainable fishing practices that help maintain a healthy lobster population. He also tells the story of the biggest lobster he's ever caught and reveals his favorite way to cook lobster!

@64gravely No!! You MAINAHS need to realize that your games of fuckin' with us is gonna lead to your demise. If you don't like us, just go public with it. Notify the Boston Globe that MAine doesn't want us ugly bastards up there. Tell the Globe how you hate non-residents, and be done with this. Don't let us come up there, take our money, then give us dirty looks, say dirty punk things, or act like bastards to us, 'cause that ain't gonna work anymore!

[64gravely]

@hammer55292 Listen everyone is entitled to there own opinion and it does not make me stupid that I dont agree with you. You really got something wrong with you and I am going to stop replying because I am not much of a fan of being an over the internet punching bag. You need to go to counseling.

[hammer55292]

@64gravely You're stupid because you don't agree with me, and you're a MAINAH!! Yeah, you got a bunch of Somalis in Auburn-Lewiston, go kiss them. You'll know what I mean when your economy has really gone south, and you're cooking stray cats and dogs like the Cambodians. Invite the Somalis over for Golden Retriever stew, just don't let them shit in your beds, but I hope they do.

[64gravely]

@hammer55292 How do you know I am stupid you have never even met me before! Somalis? where the hell did you come up with that? and what do you mean "when I am done with you?

[hammer55292]

@64gravely HA!HA! Mess with yourself then, Cletus. You'll be broke-down street bums, hangin' with the Somalis, catching dogs and cats to eat, when I'm done with you. MAINTARDS!!

[64gravely]

@hammer55292 Listen I am just going to keep on replying because you know what I love messing with stupid people so keep on coming!

[hammer55292]

@64gravely Oh, another thing you MAINTARD, I never smoke, drink, or do a drug up there, you suck-bags. I've been driving for 48 1/2 years without an accident, so don't blame my fuckin' driving, like all you MAINAHS do against us, you lying, back-stabbing bastards!!

[hammer55292]

@64gravely See, you fucktard, you're proving just what I've said about you bastards....you never investigate, you just fight. Fact of the matter is, as I have posted numerous times before you fuck-tard of MAine, that I usually come up there by myself, driving a clean, registered, inspected, insured truck. I follow all MAine Fish & Game laws, and NEVER leave so much as a gum wrapper on the ground. But that has not stopped you MAINAHS from killing me, you bastarfarians!! Die, you scums, die!!!!

[64gravely]

@hammer55292 you know your statements would be true if everyone acted like you because if all the tourist came up here to maine and acted like you then we would really hate your guts.

[hammer55292]

@64gravely MIT!!! MASSHOLE Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. Harrvard University, Cambridge, MASSHOLECHUSETTS!! Wow, we are good enough for you fuckers to go to our schools, but not good enough to come up there, huh MAINTARD???

You slimy fucktards, back-stabbing bastards that you are!! Come down here for school, but you don't want us up there, you GUNTS!! I hope you fuckers go belly-up this year, and are starving in the streets like Ethiopians, and the Somalis shit in your beds!!!
