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 – [...]

An appeal to all – Buy porn or else!

The good folks at Vivid Entertainment, the ones who kept us warm on those lonely nights, are losing a lot of money due to free online sites (fortunately, the article lists these sites). We at ChubbyChimp (and our sister site, FriskyChimp) would hate to see the downfall of such a beloved organization. The main reason [...]

Stupidest study of the year candidate!

There has been debate about whether Americans and people in general have gotten dumber over time with the advent of TV and other distracting and mind-numbing media (comedic blogs not being one).

Bad idea, bad title…bad all around!

ChubbyChimp doesn’t like to critique the ideas of clearly distinguished people, but this one seems quite ridiculous: An expensive barbershop for the “professional” The premise? “For $65 a month, a customer gets one haircut, one touch-up, shoe shining and a drink at the bar, which serves wine and beer.” $65 for a haircut, a touch-up [...]

The way to less obesity? Make all desserts this expensive!

A restaurant in New York (where else?) has created the world’s most expensive dessert, complete with edible gold and a diamond-laced goblet! Rumor has it that patrons have collected their droppings in the hopes of recovering the gold. One patron is alleged to have created an engagement ring using the gold he consumed and the [...]

Chubby…Passenger

We’ve already reported on the growing waistlines (as have all media outlets) in the US and even abroad. Southwest Airlines once took heat for forcing obese people to buy two seats for the comfort of the rest of the passengers. Well, we at ChubbyChimp witnessed the harrowing effects of someone who couldn’t fit into his [...]

Toilet-ry

Ladies, have you ever actually fallen into the toilet when your man or son or some other undoubtedly virile presence has left the toilet seat up?
