Growing up in the 70's/80's, with two younger brothers and a dad with an affinity for action movies, it was inevitable that I would see a Chuck Norris film (or 20). "An Eye for an Eye", "Silent Rage", "Missing in Action", "Delta Force" and "Lone Wolf McQuade" just to name a few. NO one could roundhouse kick someone like Chuck Norris. My brother, Jason, was actually a 3rd degree Brown belt (one level below a black belt), and he idolized Norris.
As a pre-teen, I thought he was pretty damned cute. It was only years later that I learned that he's 10 years older than my dad! Ewwwwwwwww On that note... has anyone seen his Total Gym commercials with Christy Brinkley? He's 65, she's like 50.. what the hell planet are these two from?! Actually, I once read one of Christy Brinkley's beauty secrets...she rubs kitty litter on her face. Yes! Kitty litter! She didn't mention whether that was "used" kitty litter or not... hmmmm. Hell, if it'll make me look like her, I'll try anything. "Here kitty, kitty!"
Okay, so what caused this Chuck Norris tangent? Well, besides sucking beyond belief, lately, my life has also been made up of alot of weird little coincidences. I was at my mom's house a couple of days ago, and asked my nephew, Jordan, what he was watching. "Lone Wolf McQuade", he says. "This was my dad's favorite movie." So, we talk a little about it. I made some kind of comment about not seeing a Chuck Norris film for a while. The next day, I'm looking thru my Yahoo news items and see something about Chuck Norris. It's a story about some kind of website (http://www.4q.cc/chuck/) dedicated to spouting "facts" about Chuck Norris. I check it out. And for the next 10 minutes, I laugh so hard that I'm almost in tears. The whole point of this site is to pretty much talk about what a badass he is. Here are a few random facts:
Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
Chuck Norris draws more blood than the Red Cross.
Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas.
Everything tastes like chicken because its Chuck Norris' favorite food
and my favorite......
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Jason would have LOVED it!

What I loved about Chuck Norris' latter days as Walker, Texas Ranger was the fact that as he got older, the villains got shorter. That way, he could still use his roundhouse kick to dispatch them. The last season of that show,he battled a gang of drug-running midget Columbian druglords.
He's an American icon. He should be on money. "Chuck Norris...kicking the forces of evil in the face for 75 years."
Thanks for your comments, Scott. I can't believe I forgot to post the link! Here it is... http://www.4q.cc/chuck/
And Reid...thanks for making me laugh and creeping me out..all at the same time. "drug-running midgets" *shiver* I know it's not terribly PC of me to admit this, but midgets freak me out a bit. But I'm looking on the brightside..if one scares me.. even I could prolly roundhouse kick him, and make my getaway.
