    I didn't realize I was in the midst of 203'ers. 860 just doesn't have the same ring to it.

    I think the Fairfield County folks were a little miffed when New Haven County also got to keep the 203.

    21, get Verizon.

    Verizon?? Boom's Verizon has done more to interfere in my life than my mother. It's like calling from the dark side of the moon.

    With all respect to the fine nominees here, I think I can end this thread right now.

    Two years ago, I spent the summer with a semi-pro football team for a feature story, and part of my trevails included a bus trip to West Virginia for a game. The road trip included about a five-minute - five minutes, I say! - stint on a highway in Kentucky (sorry KYsportswriter). And during about as brief a stay as you can have in a state, I saw the following along the road, in front of railroad tracks, nonetheless:

    A mobile home turned into a convienient store.

    Nuff said.

    OK, they have lots of oil, a beautiful landscape and midnight baseball. But they also have Sarah Palin, Ted Stevens and Alaskans can see Russia from their house.

    There is a form of communication discovered by Australian researcher David John Oates which he has dubbed as Reverse Speech. Reverse Speech can be heard by taking recorded statements and reversing them to locate the messages produced by the unconscious mind. At Backward State, Shawn H. Smith is helping to provide evidence through examples that a natural communication exists where these two sets of speech are taking place simultaneously.
