What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

Pausing Briefly For a Whif of “Fartner” – The Social Network For Your Ass [VIDEO]
Trolling the Google Play Store this weekend? Blast into "The Fartner."
If this had come out in high school, my friend Scott Faulkner would've had a revisionist nickname.

My List Of Cabin Fever Relievers
My dash cam captured this digital warning on 380 this morning as I cruised into the Skybox. I'll keep it on tonight in video mode so I can get some good slip-n-slide footage like the Russians. BTW, why did they get such a huge head start on us with dash crash vids...
