It occurs to me that his speech is rather similar to Jimmy Stewart's way of talking.

Great video. Another way of life so different than what we see out here in the Midwest. Thanks for bringing it forward.

Great stuff

I was on you show once when you went to the youth center in Maine for our voices of men program. Been looking for that episode for years

I want to hit the like button but it is at 207 and i dont want change that

Hilarious!

National treasure.

Had the pleasure of meeting him twice years back

Man, hadn't heard this one in years.

Still love this. Has it gotten better?

Absolute gold.

😂

Thank you for that wonderful story! I've experienced similar moments when country folks were so generous in times of need.

A thumb hitching a ride out to sea..

Hello? This is pretty old stuff. Just wondering if you still read the comments. VR, Gary

Love it...thanks, Gary

This just cracks me up Tim - you realize I really AM a born-again carnivore right? I eat all the fatty meat I can get. No plants. LOL God we've been friends for what, way over 50 years now. We still gotta go do that summer trip to the old Y Camp on Cobbossee. Hope you are well and happy man. :-)

Tim, I absolutely love it. You are a man after my own heart. And I am definitely "from away". I had a couple of friends that grew up in Maine. I loved them both and both brought a unique perspective on life from a fish camp point of view. I, like you, see the universal truth (I am always looking for the funny) in everything. You nailed it. It is all about commonality and respect. I loved Bert and I. So much so, that I had to go to Maine just to experience the culture firsthand. I went up for Lobster Fest and then drove upstate to Acadia. I absolutely loved Maine. It is Americana at its absolute best, seemingly frozen in time. It is hardworking Americans showing the best of us. And with a little respect, you can learn from the local population. You learn fast that the locals don't like out-of-towners if they come in thinking they corner the market on how things should be done. I could live in Maine for the rest of my days and be happy. However, being From Away I will always be just that. I love the Downeast humor and get it even though I am not from there. Just makes me roll thinking about it. What a rich and beautiful culture. I was born in Nebraska. We are a bunch of German Lutheran dirt farmers that cut a town out of a cornfield. Cheers Mate, Gary

4:09. About the same time Dark Shadows came on on channel 8.

Love Tim Samples humor!

$40 might be a bargain. Ayuh

My Mother and I stopped by at the Waldo Theater back in the 80's to see a show of yours, and coincidentally, I was studying The Maine accent, which wasn't a huge stretch from my own at the time. considering I was born here, but there was still a fairly big difference between my current accent, and the accent of the old timers I was used to hearing when sitting on the outskirts of the family table during story swapping time. We thoroughly enjoyed your show, and I just want you to know that you are still greatly appreciated here in this community, and especially among my family. On my Father's side, we came from Boothbay, the same as your home town. We were from the Reed clan, maybe you can recall one or two of us. Well anyways, I just wanted you to know that you are still being watched and loved, God Bless You Tim Sample!!!

When my mind needs a break, I still ramble down Raymond Rd in a snow storm, and everything gets simple again. I have a beer with Chief, and stop a Faude and Mary's for some Dandelion wine.

The kicker is he's really a Maine native.

I laughed so hard seeing this last week! I remember this schtick when I was a kid and my mom about falling off her chair. I wanted to be a truck driver after this. 😂

Thank you so much for posting this! It's an absolute masterpieces Tim! I committed about half of this to memory when I was a kid and I think it's time to learn it all.

Man this video brings me back when I used to live up in "the county". Down in sw florida now . Definitely cool seeing this

Wicked funny 😂

So good 😂

This is seriously one of my fave sketches by you, cause its so out of the blue of everything else you've done. Memorized it when I had the VHS tape (bought at Beans at the time!) and even did it for your mom in the kitchen of the big house with your sis Debbie sitting there. Both laughing. ...................... The irony is ...................... I was watching a Jordan B. Peterson video lately and guess what his diet is! He's a carnivore! All meat all the time. Its a thing now. You created a movement you get no credit of being the father of! LOL

Ayuh, Can't get there from here.

Any one here from the Erik Singer Wired Accents video comments section?

Saw a bumper sticker once that read, "I didn't bite and claw my way to the top of the food chain just to eat vegetables."

My father passed Dec. 23 2020. He was a hard, real Mainer till the end. I love him to death. You could never match his work ethic, sense of humor and handyman intelligence. He grew up on the island. He built a family and legacy down in Texas. When I hear that accent or see a boat I feel closer to him. His wind will always be ablow!

Noice!!!

Post content on a regular basis and get as much of this as you can onto youtube while it is still possible. This is exactly what youtube needs more of. Maine Humorists are a rare breed, and have well developed stories. There's one about a Rabbit Hunt that I am looking for, but I can't tell whose story it is.

Tim Sample. The poet laureate of Maine.

Growing up, my parents would pop into Dot's Good Deals once in a while. Our kitchen table came from there.

I once had a buddy in the service who said "Vegetarians were actually pretty cruel. At least animals have the chance to run away. Poor little plants just stand there and scream their little leaves and petals off as they get mowed down."

I wish I still had your tapes...

Canadian Club and smelts! LOL!

R.I.P

a great tribute and so clever, thanks Tim

Takes me back to Tenants Harbor & Port Clyde summers, in the 50s & 60s! My first airplane ride was with Hugo Lehtinen, sardine spotting in his yellow J3 Piper Cub, float plane... bchfh.com/book-of-memories/995016/lehtinen-hugo/obituary.php ronhallenterprises.com/aerialphotography/
