Home of Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island High school, and home to the worlds most bad ass people. The Backside is the best place to be on MDI, and Southwest Harbor people are wanna-be-backsiders.

A lonely, desolate, edge of the world, bum-fuck middle of nowhere group of islands north of Canada where a couple underpaid scientists conduct meaningless environmental research.
Ignorant Friend: Dude, north of Canada is the North Pole and Santa and all that shit right?
You: No, there's a bunch of mountainous, incredibly cold islands just above it. They're called the Queen Elizabeth Islands, and my dad says it's easier to live in Detroit than it is there.
Recently-Enlightened Friend: Damn. How does he know?
You: He went to college for "Environmental Problems", only got an associate's degree, and he was exiled there.

Obtaining the necessary traits to become a household name all over Long Island. One must be "The Scene," one must promote notable NYC clubs on notable nights, one must contain over 1,000 facebook friends.
"I went to camp with this kid, do you know him?" "Of course I know him...he's a Long Island Juggernaut." "Did you hear about that club tomorrow night?" "yeah my Juggernaut told me." "Jeremy Rosen is definitely not a Long Island Juggernaut." "I don't know enough people nor promote notable clubs to become a Long Island Juggernaut.

An alcoholic beverage, no one is really sure WHAT you put in it, it looks to the eye like iced tea, but it actually is not ice or tea, or any combination of the above. It hits you harder than a ton of bricks, but that is what mixed hard liqours will do to you.

The effect on Long Island whereby the western regions of the island are generally warmer due to the closer proximity of the mainland (where there is more land mass heat being generated) and the population gets denser (which creates more radial heat from electricity, heaters, cars, etc...).
As you move from Montauk to Brentwood you can really notice a difference in the air temperature due to the urban heat island effect.
