The impending Snowpocalypse Now: Redux is creeping up on The Chuckler’s home town – and we aren’t too happy about it. Luckily, notoriously silly weather man Jim Kosek is here to lift our spirits while simultaneously crushing them.

Watch as this soon-to-be unemployed banker sneaks peeks at boobies when he should be looking at charts. Is this the reason why our banking system is so f’d up?

maybe it’s a good thing that newspapers are dying off?

See the rest on the 11 Points Blog.

When it comes to Tiger Woods, the Chinese media knows what’s up. Well, everything except for the minivan.

According to the document above, under the “Core Democratic Value of pursuit of happiness”, young Steve has every right to staple his head in class. This is an important document for all future generations of head staplers to study and ponder.

On this holiday, to Steve, we give thanks for sticking his neck out there (and stapling it) for all the oppressed head staplers in the world.

Thanks Steve!

Sincerely,
The Chuckler

The Chuckler is pretty sure that any attempt Microsoft makes to be hip and relevant crashes as bad as Windows Vista. In their latest attempt at cool, employees at the brand new Microsoft Store in Viejo, California danced The Electric Slide to the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” while costumers ignored them. Jerry Seinfeld couldn’t make it, but we’re pretty sure the only thing that could have saved this hot mess from itself would have been a court ordered injunction filed by Ric Silver (pictured below), who claims to own the copyright to the popular bar mitzvah moves. (His website is a real treat. Don’t miss it.)

Ok, The Chuckler isn’t really sure where to begin here. It used to be that if you threw a bunch of strippers into a room filled with nerds, you’d have to arm each lady with two tazers and and a bear trap in order to ensure that they would come out alive. Then the Internet came along. And then MMOGs—massively multiplayer online games. And now, it would seem that hot, scantly-clad babes have absolutely no effect on nerds whatsoever, at least while they are playing MMOGs on the Internet.

This was recently proven in Moscow, when a gathering of nerds at an Internet cafe was assaulted by a few Russian strippers who did their very best to pry said nerds away from their keyboards during the finals of their Counter-Strike tournament. More pics here. The Chuckler is just left wondering what all this means for future of Nerdom.

How bout some vomit to start your Friday morning. The upchuck comes courtesy of Balloon Boy, the 6-year-old who didn’t take a flight on a flying saucer yesterday. The heaving commences at the 5:50 mark.

The third grader in the Chuckler is delighted by this headline!

First things first, we’re no longer Vulture Droppings. From now on, we’re only going to answer to The Chuckler. (Please, NY Mag, don’t steal this name too.) We got a bunch of new features to go along with our name change.
