Winnipesaukee in pop culture

[Bizer]

Many of you remember Lake Winnipesaukee's brief nationial exposure in an American Express commercial last spring.

If you can receive Boston's TV-38 (WSBK), there will be an even briefer reference on tonight's Cheers episode (entitled: Abnormal Psychology) at 11pm. Heard on the bar TV: "So join us next week when Jim takes us trolling on Lake Winnipesaukee."

One of the three stooges mentions being born at Lake Winnipesaukee. Larry if I recall correctly.:laugh:

Quote from the Wiki entry for Lake Winnipesaukee:

'In a Three Stooges short "No Census, No Feeling," the Stooges are census takers, and Curly answers a query about his birthplace with "Lake Winnipesaukee." When Moe asks him to spell it, he switches course, and says "Make that Lake Erie. I've got an uncle there."'

What ever happened with the American Express contest - how did our causes fair? Anyone know?

Larry was actually born down here in Philadelphia -- 3rd & South, to be specific.
