92.7 Joy FM is now 92.7 the River!

I guess it wasn't joyous enough, now they're crying a river.

What is up with radio stations giving themselves nicknames like, "The Jack", "The Arrow", "The End"? Is that supposed to make me want to listen to them? If you're going to give yourself a nickname why don't you give yourself an honest nickname like, "The Repeat", "The Sewer", "The Compost Heap", "The Landfill", or "The Annoyance" at least that way your listeners would know what to expect when they tune in. What kind of music am I supposed to expect at "The Arrow"? The Overture of William Tell? What should I expect at "The End"? Continuous Suicidal Tendencies and Suicidal Tendecies tribute bands?

Maybe this is the reason I listen to sports talk all day long, at least they're honest; 700 AM, "The Zone" as in End Zone or he's on fire he's in a "zone". At least zone has something with sports.

Weird Site of the Day

Okay, this one is just too weird. I think they're trying to be Avant Guarde:

Chinese Zodiac

I think the Chinese should add the Year of The Cockroach to their zodiac. Why? Because there are just some people you can't get rid of no matter how bad you try and I'm pretty sure they were born in the year of the cockroach.

They should also add the Year of The Skunk because of France.
