Is KRZR's Hare Truly Wild?

“The Wild Hare” has been local rock station KRZR’s tagline for more years than I care to remember. It never sounded right. Always had a little white-trash-eighties-holdover feel to it. Plus, the actual logo KRZR uses, of a rabbit in a leather jacket trying to look like Joey from Full House, looks like straight cheese.

If they are intent are using an animal as the radio station mascot/tagline, why not change it to something like:

The Hacking Hippo.
The Agitated Aardvark.
The Zealous Zebra.
The Sexy Squirrel
The Rancid Raccoon
The Queer Coyote

Something else guys…

Thanks Grey Wave

The Fresno State vs USC game - it seems everything has already been said.

I went to the game so I wrote out a long, quarter by quarter, beer by beer account of my experience. But I think Fresno may be getting its fill of the game so I'll just knock it down to the point:

There is nothing like reveling with twenty thousand fellow Fresnans, on foreign soil.
Best experience I've had with Fresnans, anywhere.

FSU TOP OF THE DRINKING WORLD

Fresno State students are kings of the drinking world. In this week's new USA TODAY Poll, Fresno State finally topped Arizona State as the wettest campus in the country.

"It's about damn time!" said a triumphant Fresno student, Dan Wielder. "I've been getting so piss drunk lately. The past three weeks I have passed out by half time. Last week, I puked on a Boise State player coming out of his locker room. It's a nice feeling knowing all of that hard work has paid off. WE'RE FUCKIN' NUMBER ONE BABY!"

ASU student Greg Ramirez doubts the accuracy of the poll. "We have three hundred and twenty-seven bars in the Tempe area alone. How the hell does podunk Fresno have bigger drunks than us?"

Podcasting in 'The No'

Call me a wheel squeaking, but I want some Fresno Bee article love given to Fresno's Podcasts.

A Bee writer wouldn't need a lot of grease because there are only three podcasts.

The lead cast, Flowing With Famous, is hosted by the beautifully intelligent Jarah and snark-witted Malcom. It's always a fun listen and is a good example of the creativity that is beginning to boil-over in Fresno.

Coming in second is the, Dorktown Radio Show. Unprofessionaly hosted by my dork self and funny-ass-Armo, Zohrab (better known as Bells). It's supposedly funny but I'm not the one too judge it. It's very Fresno.

Third (only because it's the newest Fresno "cast") is The Ol 1-2. This one strives to be recognized outside of Fresno with its playing of "Podsafe" hardcore punk and metal music. Host, Dan Ramirez, is as professional sounding as the best podcaster out there and he'll make you want to listen to more.

So, Mr. Bee writers, wake-up and write a story about Fresno's emerging "podcast scene". Hell, Mike Oz even appeared on a (currently not broadcasting)podcast from Greytank Records, so I know he knows about this stuff.

And if Donald Munro or Rick Bentley doesn't want too, Maybe Bentley's Goatee does.

Are You A Fresno Dick?

Is this graffiti? Is there a gang called "Dick" in Fresno?

I don't know, but I found this painted on a fence dividing my yard and my rear neighbor's. This has been a common spot for graffiti for years. As evidence, you can see a real gang tag written above the Dick "logo".

If there is a Dick gang in Fresno, is it just one dude? A one man gang, holding down the block, fighting big gangs for neighborhood territory? . Or is it a Skater Clothing Company?

Nah, probably just some dick.
