NFL Rookie Symposium

Thank you NY Times.  A secret, buried, treasure that was written many of a years ago (2002!). In late June, the N.F.L. convened its rookies in the hope of teaching them to make choices that aren’t so poor. For the better part of four days, the league commandeered La Costa Resort and Spa, north of [...]

More funny names – airports (and is there truth to them?)

I’ve never been to Iowa, but from what I hear, it sux. No, that is not a typo, nor am I some 13-year-old punk kid who’s learned to spell from IMing. From the funny files comes a story on some funny 3-letter codes for airports worldwide. The first, of course, is Sioux City, IA – [...]

Don’t bend over to pick up soap in this city

Florida, home to the broken dreams of home ownership, has suffered another indignity as people are seemingly now so poor that they will fight over cigarettes. Fort Myers, FL, best known for…well, nothing, saw 200 people go crazy over stolen cigarettes at a gas station because, really, there’s nothing else in this town. While we’re [...]

And Chubby Chimps are Superior to Chubby Humans!

Can you remember what you did yesterday? Or even why you came to this website (to be marvelously entertained for sure)? Well, you are, after all, human… Researchers have determined that chimps have a far superior photographic memory than do humans! Little baby chimps outperformed human adults in tests, often slapping the adults in the [...]

Spicy Puerto Rican!

Everyone knows that Puerto Rican women have a reputation for being “spicy” (we pride ourselves on stereotypes here at ChubbyChimp), but this takes it to a whole new level. A mysterious person spiked the eventual Miss Puerto Rico’s dress and makeup with pepper spray, causing her to break out in hives. The article says that [...]

Honeymoon in Iraq

Our good friends at cnn.com have brought us a story that shows we’re winning the war on terror, but not on transvestitism (we think it’s a word). Turns out a lovely groom and his bride were caught trying to cross a US guard crossing when the guards found it strange that the bride was with [...]

Coincidentally funny sports names!!!

We’ve prided ourselves on providing the most hilarious and outlandish names in the field of sports. And this time, via our friends at the LA Times, we’ve come across an amazingly coincidental event in rugby. The article is short and we present it here: Robert Tustin, a women’s rugby referee in England, has been suspended [...]

D is for Fantastic!!

This ain’t no school because here D represents excellence!! Where are we talking about? Gate D antics at Giants Stadium during NY Jets games, of course. When your team is 2-8 and it’s cold outside, what do you do to forget the pain??? Drink and go topless!! Once again, the media has blown something positive [...]

Thank you E-40!!

As the millionth example of the irrelevance of local news, we saw a piece on “ghost riding the whip” (yes, they actually said whip!!). Many may already know what ghost riding is, but for those unfamiliar with hip hop, we present an example from none other than YouTube. Notice the rims on the school bus, [...]

Um, I’d like want to get paid in euros or something…

From the intellectual world of modeling comes superstar Gisele’s demand to be paid in euros instead of dollars because of the weakness of the dollar. No doubt she understands that the US’ low interest rates, crumbling financial markets, and reliance on exports combined with the emergence of China and India along with a resurgent European [...]
