The O.C. of the East Coast - though more liberal and historic. Connecticut is home to Paul Newman and Martha Stewart and birthplace of the late Hope Lange. In the 1970s, a time of major demographic change, its governors included the abortion-obsessed Thomas Meskill and the late Ella Grasso.
Connecticut television is dominated by Hartford's WFSB, Channel 3, formerly home to Oprah's pal Gayle King. No other station in America is so obsessed with its frequency number. All the station's personalities wear giant silver 3s on their lapels, and mindlessly chant "three" at every available opportunity. Hartford itself is located halfway between Boston and NYC, and has a marked inferiority complex to both of America's two oldest major cities. The state capitol building, though, is a glorious marvel of Gothic Revival, and well worth a visit.
"Connecticut is critical to Gerald Ford's chances in 1976" - some faceless bicentennial-era broadcaster.

Connecticut the state that highly depends on there south west portion of the state. 2/3 of the state is extremely rich when half of them don't actually know there rich. And every dad drives a fast BMW Mercedes, Audi, or Porsche. No matter what car anyone drives they drive aggressively fast. And there actually very smart people. Everyone who owns a house elsewhere is in Stratton, Okemo, or bromly (which is in southern Vermont).
Dude, do you want to come skiing with me in Maine, I think Maine is like 5.38 hours away from Darien Connecticut but you can come to my "House" in Okemo.

One of the most boring places on earth.
"I'm from Connecticut. Not NY, not Boston, and sure as hell not Jersey. Connecticut. We don't have parkways here. They're highways, and as far as I'm concerned, it's 84 and 91, and that's it. We don't go to bars in highschool. We drive 65 mph to go to the "packy", not the liquor store, but the package store, and we make damn sure we get there before 9. We don't have stupid accents, and we lock our doors when we go to New Haven. We love nothing more than watching our Huskies own shit in March. We eat grinders here, not subs, not heroes, not even hoagies. We enjoy a good party in the woods. We don't get bunked, hammered, smashed, or plastered here. No, no, we get cocked, and we're damn proud of it. I'm from Connecticut."

CT is the richest country in the nation. It is mostly, but NOT completely, filled with rich preppy towns with high IQ's and everyone has to play more then 2 sports. However, there are parts of Connecticut that aren't rich, but everyone else in CT is afraid to go there. It's filled with big bright white/yellow houses and mowed lawns that are 100 feet to 1 mile. You probably live in a suburb and all of your friends are rich too, so you think it's normal.
You know you live in Connecticut when:
-Your lawn is mowed
-You have added an addition to your house less then 5 years ago
-You wear polo shirts and pants from abercrombie
-You get upset if you get a B-
-One of your parents makes over $150,000 a year
-You have an xbox, a medium sized dog, and a TV over 40"
-You have a BMW, or any car over $30,000
-You're scared of minorities
Guy from Connecticut: "Connecticut iznt what you say its not rich or preppy were just normal!!!!"
Guy not from Connecticut: "Connecticut is totally rich preppy and away from the real world . . The useless part between Massachusetts and New York. YEWSELESS!!!!!!"

Connecticut is that beautiful, affluent state wedged between MA and NY, that everyone views as pompous and snobby. Of course there are many wealthy areas associated with New York in the So. Half of the state (e.g. GW, Darien, New Caanan, Wilton, W & S Ports,Madison, and Old Lyme farther east. But, CT has its fair share of undesirable places including Waterbury and its disgusting blue collar suburbs, and Inner City Hartford, New Haven, and B-port. Southern CT is not the only rich enclave in the state, the Farmington Valley is a part of the Hartford Metro Area and has three very wealthy towns; Avon, Farmington, and Simsbury(My Hometown). And yes, even up here in S-bury, everyone wears Abercrombie and most still like the good ole Yankees(My Choice) as opposed to the Massholes' favorite, the blow sox. To sum it up, Connecticut IS a great state, better than New Jersey(Mainly b/c it doesn't have the STENCH). And no we are not gay, don't live near farms, and all the houses arent over 1,000,000, mine in fact is only worth $800,000 translated to about $2,787,000 if it were in Greenwich.
Most of Connecticut isn't as rich as you all think, for instance if you live in West Hartford, CT(Nice Town) and your house is worth $100,000 (unrealisticlly cheap), the cost inflation of being near NYC and everone wanting to live there would cause the house to be worth $348,000 in Waspy Greenwich.

A bankrupt (both morally and financially) person who lives in a very old worthless termite infested shack somewhere surrounded by trees, who has little life experience and a very high opinion of himself. A degenerate who makes a living by searching for a line somewhere on a piece of paper for the sole purpose of screwing others. An ill tempered individual who speaks with a condescending tone to and yells at anyone who doesn’t look like him. One who specializes in using people and then throwing them out like oranges. A very smart highly educated psychopath who lost touch with his humanity a long time ago, and will do absolutely anything just to have a little bit more than his fair share of a shrinking pie.
Normal person:
“Nice NCAA tournament this year, are you from Connecticut?”
Person from Connecticut:
“Fuck you. You are gay.”

In the summer of 2010 a group of folks from Connecticut with perfect hygiene traveled to South Africa to support their favorite soccer team in the world cup. However after their team’s defeat in the early rounds, the group got lost on their way to the airport and were subsequently eaten by lions.
Headline News: The lawyer for a group of South African lions has filed a lawsuit against the State of Connecticut for exporting rotten meat.
