Itawt Itawa Pudye Ttatt

Sorry, I just found out about it last week when we diverted there...it amused me.
 
On the approach to 1R at MCI they have the fixes SPICY BARBQ RIBBS. I thought that was pretty cute. And NOLAN RYANN XPRESS or something like that at an airport in Texas.
 
There's also BURGER, FRYSS, and HAAMM in KLEB, come to think of it...makes me hungry every time I fly there.
 
Yup tell, that first one is affectionatly known as the Looney Tunes Approach.
 
Some of the GPS approach fixes around Green Bay are FARVE, FLANA (Mike Flanagan long time Center), SHIRM (Caoch Sherman), LMMBO, FRZZN, and TNDRA.

I think some of the Approach designers have a sense of humor.

How about the TEXNN Three arrival to HOU... This one is for those (Houston Texans) football fans out there...

If you follow the entire procedure from COWBOY VOR ( near DFW), it brings you through GOALL, PPUNT, DRPPD,FTBAL, CARRR (former QB of the Texans), TEXNN, COACH, TAKKL, RECVR, FMBLE, TCHDN, and you are at HOU!

In keeping with the sports theme- Houston also has the ROKIT EIGHT and the (A)STROS FOUR, using many names of current and former players...
 
On the ILS 10L at Portland, Oregon, you pass TRAYL and BLAZR. The one before that, though, is BUXOM -- probably a reference to the nude beach on the Columbia River below.
 
I love this perennial discussion. Let's not forget the FDK RNAV-5, PHIL DFEND GEEAY
