I had only ever driven thorough CT until I visited a friend this past weekend. I ate pizza with "hot oil" on it - it was what they were known for!!! I guess it was good but not very spicy...

Put Fairfield county into NY and give the rest of the state to new Hampshire or something, it's not contiguous but I don't really care.

Zyla posted:WHAT DID THE PHONE SAY??? I honestly dont remember. I assume, much like the rest of of Connecticut, it was a let down, which is why the buildup stuck in my memory but the result did not. The next thing I can clearly recall was waking up in RI with the sun up and a cop knocking at the window asking if everyone was okay, and then I dropped everyone off and went home.

answering an old ringing pay phone at a boarded up gas station in connecticut is exactly how you end up with the curse from The Ring

like "i answered an old ringing pay phone in the middle of the night in rural connecticut and the next thing i know i woke up in rhode island with no memory of how i got there" is pretty firm evidence that you're cursed.

Wesleyan is a nice campus. UCONN Storrs is meh. I think the state is fairly pretty, on average. Chris Murphy isn't a poo poo senator despite his haircut, so at least we improved on Lieberman and sorta kinda on Dodd with Blumenthal. We're trying! But yeah I'm not really up in arms over CT hate. Apropos of nothing, I will loving fight you if you say one positive thing about the flea infested sandbar that is Long Island though.

I actually spent 40 minutes in Putnam, which I'm pretty sure is something approaching a one road town that is no more than like 10 minutes across, trying to get into Rhode Island. I actually got onto the highway twice, traveled several exits, and when I got off I was still in Putnam, still in Connecticut. (Is the highway even near Putnam? I don't know which one it was, I was just desperate to get out of putnam) before the phone thing. So yeah I'm gonna say the real curse was being stuck in Connecticut.

The previous time I went to connecticut, before the phone time, I blew a headgasket (I think that's what it was called?). I had to stop at a car parts store and buy like a dozen bottles of motor oil or some other liquid, I forget what, and refill it every 15 minutes on the way home. Why is Connecticut so drat hard to get out of?

i actually kind of enjoyed my time working in connecticut on a handful of local races. i was very satisfied with my work there, and the local parties were actually nice to me for the most part which is a rarity for any paid staff. i cannot say the same about rhode island, because that state is real bad and everyone is an rear end in a top hat.

Connecticut sucks. It's not a part of New England, and the only redeeming thing about is Frank Pepe's white clam pizza. And the Merritt is pretty, but the traffic blows.

Fucj you OP. Connecticut is a state rich in character and stature. It's many things to many different people. It's New York's second largest suburb after New Jersey. It's people's third favorite state on the drive to Boston. Its got beautiful nature if Vermont, New Hampshire, and upstate NY, are all unavailable. I suggest you educate yourself next time before posting a thread like this

CT pizza is the best. It is our state's one redeeming feature. Also, our union-busting democratic governor is a poo poo and I'm glad he's basically unelectable despite being eligable for a third term.

I don't have a real major beef with Malloy 'cause he's exactly the governor CT deserves, just a bumbling rear end Bill Lumbergh. Most Nutmeggers hate him because he's the personification of Connecticut and they hate themselves. Oh yeah hey by the way - Nutmeggers - that's like the word for people from Connecticut. Fuckin, jesus christ man we were set up to hate.
