Here he is with the members of the Grateful Dead.

I remember Chubby's (if that's his real name) biggest hit "Let's Limbo Some More (The Way We Did It The Previous Autumn)"!.

Memo for Mr. Checker: The first rule of exaggeration is to always remain within plausible limits.

[Vaquero]

Right because the name Chubby was never ever used before the 1960 twist phenomenon.

I remember the film FATSO with Dom Deluise in the 1980s They belonged to a weight watchers style organization called “Chubby Checkers”. Wonder if he suid Brooksfilms over that.

This reminds me of Spike Lee Suing Spike TV.

I wish I could sue HP for their crappy laptops and printers.

[Secret Agent Man]

Harm so irreparable that I bet almost know one here even heard about this app until they read this story.

OFPS! Chubby, get a life. The word “chubby” is an English word in the public domain. Is there a picture of you on the app?

[hosepipe]

I guess Stupidity can get “FAT” or even “Chubby”...

[SkyDancer]

Ps - give Chubby the $25 and call it good.

[SkyDancer]

Who’d Chubby pay for the right to use that part of the name?

[Revolting cat!]

Whoever gave Ernest Evans his nick stole the idea from Fats Domino.

I almost feel like I know that guy. Used to drive past his house (in Malvern, PA) every day on my way to work. Used to see him fetching his newspaper from the driveway. My cousin once totaled his car on Chubby’s front lawn (drunk driving), and years later my ex-GF hit some black ice and totaled her car on his lawn too.

Anyone who wrings the neck of Apple is a hero in my book.

[Last of the Mohicans]

There are no Dead in that photo.

Holy crap! That's a remarkable story, especially in light of your nickname...lol

[Revolting cat!]

"What time is it?"

(As in "pony up some cash!")

Knee-jerk reaction of an Apple-hater? He's suing HP, and the app is a non-Apple app not handled by Apple or used on any Apple device. So wring HP's neck.

[Revolting cat!]

No, but here you are Captain Obvious. What took you so long? Been twistin?

Chubby is an anti social jerk. My B-in-law lives in Malvern PA a couple of houses away from Chubby. Chubby calls the POlice on Christmas Carolers.
