I worked in his town for a while. Stuart Scott was one of the really cool, normal on-air people. You'd see him bagging his groceries without complaint or waiting in line for a booth at Friendly's just like everyone else. I never heard any negative stories about him like I did regarding other people. May there be…

Mine does, and my country is merely suburban Connecticut! Is that not a thing elsewhere? Maybe I have a renegade Wendy's? It's not like it's anything elaborate — there are maybe eight bowls of stuff? — but it works for me.

Literally the only fast food item I buy anywhere. What's REALLY nice to do is go inside to order a plain potato and a side salad from the bar, then take the potato through the bar and add your toppings from there instead of paying their stupid markup to order directly from the menu. For example, you can pay $1.29…

"Second, their kids meals are more expensive then all the items bought separately."

Thank you. Yes, my healthcare is currently "free." In exchange, I get to live with friends and rely on charity from my family and the soup kitchen while sending out CV after CV and putting two master's degrees to good use babysitting in order to buy laundry detergent. The life!

"Instead of worshipping THE savior, shouldn't we worship ALL saviors?"

Based on the carnage the cup users I lived with in college left behind, I'll take the cotton any day. To each her own.

"Cunt plunger" was the term used by those of us in my college hall who didn't use them to describe the bizarre things lurking in containers at the backs of stalls.

Well of course you're brilliant. You're from Connecticut. :)

"In New York, or Massachusetts, there's plenty of abortion clinics."

Can we please raise some money to pay for a proper obituary and a memorial stone for her? Jezebel can donate any excess funds raised to a group in sweet Leelah's area working to help other girls like her.

On Pinterest, this has always circulated as the bicycle of a young English boy who was sent off to fight in WWI. He leaned it against a tree, planning to get back on it when he got back, but...he never returned. :***( Really makes you think about the important things!!!!! What is wrong with this world!!!!!! #rip…

I was brutalized by my family throughout my teens and 20s for my "laziness," and I simultaneously hated myself for never being able to get these types of instruction manual-ettes to work for me. Then I finally got diagnosed with severe depressive inertia, which is pretty easily treated with low-to-moderate doses of…

I hate that professional experience leaves me no choice but to agree with Mark Cuban on something.

The only time I've been to a "farmer's market" was when living in Brattleboro. Otherwise, it's just "outside." You want lettuce? Go outside. Towns of 500 people don't need markets. :)

CONNECTICUT: Malala Yousafzai (Nobel Peace Prize-winner) / Jacqueline Bisset (actress) / Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia / Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor / David Brooks (columnist) / al-Qaeda

The Vermont one is so dead on...for flatlanders (transplants/out-of-staters). People who own weekend homes shop at the co-op and raise llamas and talk about where they "source" their rutabaga. Real Vermonters go to PriceChopper, have mud and gun racks on their trucks, and intimately know the beer tents (and trash…

That whole "Breaking Bad" episode where you get the backstory of Gustavo Fring and the Salamancas, and suddenly there's this B-story so complex and fascinating that you could watch an entire series just about that.

In Manchester itself: 2010 Hartford Distributors shooting, 9 dead, 3 wounded.

In fairness, our town (Manchester) also had a mass workplace shooting a few years ago, the 2011 Hartford Distributors shooting that left ten dead. And there have been two SWAT situations in the past two or so years, one involving a mentally-unstable person assaulting police. So yes, I'm obviously very happy that a…
