somebody sounds cranky and in need of some covered hot-dish.

3 points;
1) Minn accents are unbecoming of NYers
2) its the Clovis school district that makes Clovis worth anything & its proximinty to Big Fresno ensures....
3) that rich kids go where the schools are best, got to get to Harvard, USC, Stanford, dontcha-know?

I saw one headed southbound on 99 after Herndon and before Shaw. It's on the northbound side (your left).

Honestly I didn't notice it until I read this thread.

Where is this sign located at?

Fresnish, or Clovesque?
(After all, Clovis IS classier than Fresno, dontcha-know..)

maybe they're clovites?

that makes this the "Twin Cities", "Clovis/Fresno" or "Greater Fresno", right?

anyway, I personally prefer:
Fresnoid

Clovisoid, sounds like a disease, so they're Clovisites

HOW many movies
and HOW many songs

Fresno is named...

(I mean, I stumbled across some pretty serious references to here on an old Beastie Boys Song the other day...)

Good Bad or indifferent,
there HAS to be a record somewhere...

And I first heard the term Jersey Girl in the Travelling Wilbury's song "Tweeter & The Monkey Man," so you KNOW I'm out of touch with this sort of thing. ;)

Just never call SF "Frisco".

Though the phrase 'Jersey Girl,' was made popular by the Springsteen song, (actually it was written by Tom Waits, I actually like his version a little better, though I love the Boss's as well,) It's more of a recent tag.

-Unless you're in a bar with a lot of leather and feather boas (or both,) you don't use the term 'jersey boy.'
You never call yourself a 'jersey boy.' (I mean, unless you really want to, It's 2008, and all, but you may get a few looks...)

'New Jerseyan' is sort of dorky and way over formal.

We actually (most of the time) drop the 'New' and just go with 'Jersey' (it was actually an old Joe Piscopo (SNL) gag,)
-and usually say what town or section we're from (such as 'I'm outta 'Jersey, or I"m outta Plainfield' or 'up by Hackettstown or whatever.

There is also a very strong difference between North, Central and South Jersey, (South Jersey has nearly seceeded from the other half of the state several times, TOTALLY different cultures, TOTALLY different financial spectrums and job structures (as well as topography.)
---Like, EVERYTHING is different in South Jersey (even such things as utilities, definitely politics,)
-A great deal of it is associated with Philly, which is a completely different town than NYC.

--one of the few contrasts to that rule is when referring to people who are from the Pine Barrens (huge natural forest and aquifer that covers the lower half of the state, runs from Philadelphia all the way to the shore,)

-from which comes the derrogatory term 'Pineys.'

---A 'Piney' is kind of like the term 'Okie,'
only it's referring to actual Really backwoods types who often live without any utilities are extremely separatist,
are where the legend 'Jersey Devil,' comes from,
and live in towns and enclaves in the woods that are not on maps,
and are considered to be everything from shy 'woods people,' or 'hillbilly's to flat out violent 'hills have eyes,' types.

-Calling somebody a 'Piney,' is basically saying that they are seriously inbred, of little to now intelligence, and are kind of like missing links.
(wild thing is: folks like this still do exist.)

But most of us don't cite our towns of origin or residence to the extreme of 'Fresnans,' We just say the town, and area where we're from, then go through the usual '...oh, you're from '____', do you know Tony Blah-Blah?
---and the response is usually something like, '...he hung around with my brother, so I didn't know him that well, but I went to school with his cousin Mikey,' (etc. etc.)

It's all connected.

You literally can drive from one end of the state to the other in just under three hours, pending traffic.

"Seems to be," rather. Looks like I got a bit carried away.

Also, I thought New Jersey types were Jersey Girls & Jersey Boys, but it appears they use "New Jerseyan" http://members.aol.com/Schoonmaker2000/NJ.html

There was a group of ancient North Americans scientists call the Clovis People & Clovisian see be to be the accepted shortening, which is where I get it from.

Fresnans are indeed fresnans

I've always referred to those from Clovis as 'Clovisites'

Sanger folks would be Sangarians.
I suppose.

...it doesn't always incorporate the state or the city.. I mean, we know what Chicagoans are, as well as New Yorkers
--but those of us from Upstate NY, usually, though we go by NewYorkers, are always explaining where we're from to qualify.
-from 'the City,' 'Brooklyn,' 'Queens,' 'No-Ho,' 'So-Ho' or East or West Village, (etc.)

Philly folks are always Philadelphians..

But the real strange one is 'Jersey.

I mean, it's usually some sort of landmark, but hardly anyone calls themselves a 'New Jersyan,' (I mean, that's what we are, but it's always stated what part of 'Jersey your from...

We love our towns and areas and such, but Maybe we're just not that wrapped up in where we're from, but more interested in where we're going.

dunno.

Maybe they were trying to combine Fresnan & Clovisian. *wink*
I'd love to see what they came up with for Sanger.

Sorry Pido. My bad I guess.

Asshole Fresnan

I was trying to make a joke (people in Fresno don't have money - at least I don't)...I'm not very good at jokes.
I'm not sure how to define a proper suffix - I've been a North Carolinian, now a Californian, so why not a Fresnian? Of course, I've also been a Texan, so I can see the case for Fresnan. All of those are states, but I don't think I've lived in another city that attached a suffix to its residents. We just said we were from Shreveport/Mooringsport/Lewisville/Baton Rouge/Greensboro/you get the idea.
And yes, I realize that your site relies on the adoption of the "an" - again trying to be funny. I'll quit now.

Pido, I FRIGGIN' KNOW the point of the ad, the POINT OF THE BLOG is to show the sloppy copywriting.

This implies that there are 15,582 people in Fresno with money (I wonder how many people lose every month).
