Massachusetts lakes

[Marksa1458]

Hi all,

We live in Holden, Massachusetts and typically boat in Wallum lake. Was curious where others in Massachusetts do there boating?  It takes us about 35 minutes to get to the lake. It is beautiful, but can get super busy, especially with some folks that are not the most responsible on their jet skis are flying around.

Those jet skiers can be a bunch of Massholes! I used to be one, a Masshole that is, never a jet skier...

Ha - I may be a bit guilty of being a Masshole too. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the term, here is the Internet definition:

Masshole

N: Generalized term for a resident of Massachusetts......has evolved to mean any obnoxious loudmouth. The most genuine Massholes are so ignorant and belligerent that they think Masshole is a compliment.  

A Masshole takes pride in his aggressive and illegal driving habits. They are too cool to use turn signals. They will nearly wreck you as they cut you off pulling out of the local strip mall, and then drive 30 miles an hour in a 55 zone while they try to light their cigarette while screaming at their children.  

A Masshole's car could be a brand new BMW or a beat up 88 Chevy Caprice. It will probably have a "My Kid is an Honor Student" sticker and a sticker endorsing some Irish or Italian local politician you've never heard of.  

Massholes infest the nicer northern states of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine during the summer months and, ironically, do nothing but complain about the lack of malls once they get there.

For Christmas, Santa brings New Hampshire thousands of Massholes on vacation.

With all the bumper stickers I saw, I thought it was called Taxachusetts.
