The boy said, “My name’s Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I’ll represent your ass in court and you bet we’re gonna win.”

I’m convinced Fritz Wetherbee is the only person keeping us all alive at this point.

Strictly speaking, Satan's Kingdom is just over the border in Massachusetts.

Yeah but he keeps a summer home in Winnipesaukee (for tax reasons)

You can literally see hell on Friday afternoon on the highway in the summer as the devil migrates to his summer home

As a Mass resident, I'll have you know we have second homes in all of the new England states. Especially Maine.

The NH folks are just pissy because they sit in traffic every weeknight coming home from their good paying MA jobs. The last thing they need on Friday is MA people coming up to their second homes in NH.

I think we all know the Devil went down to Georgia though. *whips out fiddle*

He only bought a house in Georgia because he was in a bind, way behind, and needed to make a deal. Otherwise, he would've gone to Florida like everyone else.

Satan is a good neighbor. Sure, one of his dogs leaves a steaming pile of hell on my side yard every once and awhile but shit happens, right? He also helps clear my driveway after snowstorms, has the raddest Halloween decorations, and hosts great parties with lots of famous people.

Good dude. Really embodies the “live free or die” motto.

Wait, am I Satan? I've got all that besides parties with famous people.

Yeah, he’s the one paying for all those political ads.

In case anyone is curious, I found the doc that this is referencing here.

Actually, according to the very last line of The Devil and Daniel Webster: “But they say that whenever the devil comes near Marshfield, even now, he gives it a wide berth. And he hasn't been seen in the state of New Hampshire from that day to this. I'm not talking about Massachusetts or Vermont.”

So while he was present in the state for the trial in question after Daniel Webster kicked his butt he stays far far away.

It’s a great short story, I recommend it to all.

Could explain all those unsolved murders WMUR highlights in the morning. The sheer number of female victims is staggering…some of these cold cases are 50 years old. Crazy to think…

Crazier to think that we have less unsolved murders than nearly every other state in the continental US

For nearly every other state the list is even longer

In The Devil and Daniel Webster, Mr. Scratch denies he is a foreign prince, and says while neither a Southerner nor a Northerner, he is merely an honest American. Since Satan hasn't been seen in New Hampshire since that trial, Judge Weber's conclusion that he might be found in New Hampshire, isn't supported by the facts.

I've read something about this before. Something about some fundy religious group trying to get people to move to NH because we're super unreligious.
