Local news, echoes from the blogosphere and other stuff that's amusing today:

BRAINIAC DUM-DUMS: The Brain Drain Chronicles are big talk on the Fresno Internets these days -- from Mindhub to Famous. Tell me if I'm wrong here, but I thought leaving home, going to college and talking crap about where you used to live was just part of growing up? [Fresno Famous]

SORRY, KOPI: TV stations KMPH and KFRE are part of a bankruptcy filing by parent company Pappas Telecasting Companies. What? You mean five hours of Great Day isn't paying the bills? [The Bee]

I'LL CUT YOU: See the problem with stabbing someone while arguing about who's going to pay the bills is that it just means you're gonna have to pay more. [The Bee]

BLOG CHAMP: Ed holds it down with photos and videos of The Undercurrent's birthday party, which was jam-packed with local music and local bloggers. [estewartartist]

NEW ISH: Another new entry into the Fres-Blog world: Blog Me Down. It's not locally-focused, but it's locally produced and should be of interest to hip-hop fans, skaters and people who like to stare at Kim Kardashian's behind. [Blog Me Down]

DO NOT ASK GIRLS: Fresnocentric almost made me LOL (I don't LOL) with this picture. Brain drain? That's some good writing right there. [Fresnocentric]
