I am beginning to feel like I am the only person in America to not have been featured in a schlocky charity calendar yet. :***(

Interestingly, NESN agreed with you...at first. I'm not surprised they've upturned their analysis, but I'm floored they were briefly open-minded.

That's a crazy good point that I am embarrassed to admit I never thought of before. Thank you.

Two problems, though:

No.

That's an act, though.

I babysat for Chevy Chase once. He's indeed a jerk.

They've been trying to do that for two decades. All it did was push the hardcore bros deeper into Celeron and Carriage, hence the Rape Trail.

This is my understanding from working in public higher ed in the state. Herbst is apparently quite the crusader and has this very much as a priority. Student safety in general is a big deal for her. Having her as president gives me hope.

The UConn PD *is* the civil authority. Mansfield/Storrs does not have a police department and is served by a state trooper. UConn has the only real police force in town, and they are indeed fully licensed as a department by the state.

Correct. Mansfield (the town that includes Storrs) is like most of rural Connecticut in that it doesn't have any municipal police. The state troop is housed right next to campus, but the main police presence in town is the UConn department. UConn also has its own full fire department and ambulance service.

I did not attend UConn, but I lived in Mansfield (the town Storrs is in) for a few years and reported my assault to the state troopers based there. (Their station happens to be right on the edge of campus.) Based on the experience I had...it's not a better choice.

Waterbury. Waterbury.

Same. I had no clue steamed burgers were even a thing. When I think of distinctive local foods, I think of apizza, Shady Glen crispy cheese, Willington Pizza's Red Bliss, and Mystic-style clambakes.

The Quiet Corner. The northwestern part of the state is the Litchfield Hills.

Wait, so now we all have to have a crush on the baby on the left?

In fairness, Grumpy Cat is the mega-star of a generation. Only Christ Himself could compete. So it's sort of an unfair fight.

Maru would be my Make-a-Wish.

Admit it, though: attending cat video parties — WITH GRUMPY CAT — would be pretty awesome work.

I absolutely LOVE that Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer publicly admit and embrace their Cat Lady status. Gives those of us in the closet hope. Stars: They're Just Like Us!
