Yahtzee ! Or Bingo ! Or something.

So . . . . of the 2 million posts, how many do ya think are actually meaningful, conceding that this one is not among them.

Ha, Big Kahuna, you still around Hartford, if so I have **TONS** of booze in Naugatuck. We’ll need to have a CTDopefest some time before you go to DC.

337 …  
And yes this is probably a gratuitous post count inflator.

All right! We can drink Sam Adams and reminisce about the Whalers until the sun rises over the Berlin Turnpike. Still, Naugatuck, I’m not sure if I want to lower myself to that 😃

You bastard, you’ll hang on the Berlin Turnpike, but not Naugy! The valley gets no respect, I swear!

Hey Caught@Work, I think you need to rethink your moniker! You don’t seem to have been much @Work (the activity, not the location) at all over the last few days. 😃

OK, there’s my useless bit of padding to help hasten the 2 millionth!

Yes, because we all know Hartford is a bastion of art and culture, and all points in the state lead to it. Still, it’s tempting to actually visit the only borough in the state of Connecticut instead of passing through on Route 8. A piece of advice for the area: don’t elect guys like Giordano. Does not reflect good on you.
