Random Wordplay for Wednesday 7/8/15

Chubby Checker app

Used in a sentence:  "The best part of my time in law school two decades ago was learning all the crazy facts in the various case briefs ... and I can only hope that future generations of law students have to pick apart the Chubby Checker app trademark case."

If you somehow missed the Chubby Checker app trademark case, it's when Ernest Evans, the *real* name of the guy who got America to do the twist (over and over again), sued to put an end to the Chubby Checker app.

Alack and alas, in a world where ... you already know what I'm going to say ... "there's an app for that" ... the Chubby Checker app is NOT a one stop shop for easy access to listen to his nearly three dozen hits (of which one dozen appear to be some variation of his biggest song) ... but is, instead, a helper for unscientifically guesstimating the size of a man's special appendage by inputting his shoe size -- i.e. literally checking his chubby.

Or *was*, that is.  The Chubby Checker app was taken off the market long before the lawsuit went very far.  Which means you'll have to check chubs the old-fashioned way ... by getting the man attached to the appendage drunk.
