I guess that means that all Issan will be desparately rooting for a Red Sox World Series victory. Certainly, all of New England is doing so.

Giant Panda, you should know that 50% of Connecticut residents believe that one World Series victory per century is enough.

We regard Connecticut as a colony. How else is one to view a political entity that names itself "The Nutmeg State"?

Craig

Perhaps we should be conducting this debate on the United States board...
Others refer to Connecticut as the "Nutmeg State" because its early inhabitants had the reputation of being so ingenious and shrewd that they were able to make and sell wooden (fake)nutmegs. However, our official nickname is the "Constitution State" because we were the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. We are also known as "The Land of Steady Habits" - you know like those two teams in the AL East that have finished 1-2 for the past 7 years.

HVC-sounds like your plans have firmed up. I'll have returned by then and will report on all of the inevitable mishaps. Apologies for hijacking this thread, but the first game of the new era is in 9 minutes.

"Hope springs Eternal in the Red Sox breast..." As I recall, Connecticut est divisa in partes tres. One part is "Indian" Casinos and an essentially defunct shipyard, a second is a ritzy suburb of New York and the third, Hartford is a suburb of hell. Of course, all of Connecticut is vastly superior to Needham.
