Heard the one about Chuck Norris?
St. Petersburg Times ^ | 02/03/2006 | John Barry

Tuesday night at the Boston Market on East Bay Drive in Clearwater: Guys behind the counter are slinging Chuck Norris jokes.

"You know what kind of furniture Chuck Norris has in his house?" says Matt Kindred, 18.

"Bowflex."

Matt tells another: "Chuck Norris never blinks his eyes. Never."

Behind him, manager Richard Moody, 22, echoes: "Never!"

Matt executes a pirouette and whips a finger at countermate Evan Heebner, 19. Evan tells the one about how Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. "Too bad Chuck Norris never cries," Evan says.

"Ooooh, good one," everyone says.

* * *

Teenagers all across the country, many of whom have never even seen Walker, Texas Ranger, are telling Chuck Norris jokes.

They're really bad. If you want to blame someone, the guilty party is a Brown University freshman. Since last summer, Ian Spector has been spreading jokes like: "Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there."

Ian has collected 40,000 jokes like that. Every day he gets more than a half-million hits on his Web site, The Random Chuck Norris Fact Generator (www.4Q.cc/chuck/) His jokes have been picked up by Saturday Night Live.

"Chuck Norris can hit you so hard that he can actually alter your DNA. Decades from now your descendants will occasionally clutch their heads and yell "What The F*#% was That?"

Little surprise that he's being panned by pop culture now. He's a conservative Christian whose main political involvement is an initiative that the Bible be offered as a course in public schools. He also cites the removal of public prayer from schools as a huge turning point in our society.

The problem is, The "kids" have never watched a Chuck Norris movie or ever watched a Walker:Texas Ranger episode.

Um, not really much of a problem. I respect Chuck Norris (and love these jokes) . . . but his film efforts have been . . . well, lacking at best.

Message to Mr. Norris: If you are reading this, please know that I fully understand that you are the best actor in the world. I know it had to have been bad directing and/or writing that caused your movies and shows to be lacking. Please don't roundhouse kick me!

Well, I guess this means the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is not only over...it's way over.

Chuck Norris was in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) with Cayden Boyd

Cayden Boyd was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon

There is a similar thing about Dick Cheney at Ace of Spades: New Dick Cheney Original Cool Facts Thread

Some of them are a bit graphic and off-color, so don't go there if you're easily offende.

Chuck Norris has only two degrees of separation from any man who has ever had sex with a woman.

I think you should take out the word "panned" and replace it with "revered". Guys in the 18-30 age range are attempting to regain their masculinity. What better role model for that than Chuck Norris. He's a good decent man . . . who will kick the living s**t out of anyone who isn't!!

He's not being panned. He's being idolized as the ultimate no nonsense butt kicker. I think this thing started in Iraq. The Soldiers eat this stuff up. Check out EHOWA.COM (NSFW but a favorite site for soldiers) for more Chuck stuff. Example of artwork on EHOWA (the guy is good!)

Caption reads "What The F___ Is That Big Zit On His Head All About?"

Or another

I've been seeing them around the net .. their actually quite funny.
heres a few:

Chuck Norris always has sex on the first date. Always.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday.

Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death

A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice

A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Chuck Norris and that you will be handicapped if you park there.

Someone once tried to tell Chuck Norris that roundhouse kicks aren't the best way to kick someone. This has been recorded by historians as the worst mistake anyone has ever made.

If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow the fuck down.

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.

Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris

Wilt Chamberlin claims to of slept with over 20,000 women in his lifetime. Chuck Norris calls this "a slow Tuesday."

I play the online game World of Warcraft. And lately I've been seeing all this Chuck Norris stuff filling up the general chat channels in alot of the major cities all the time. Seems kinda pointless to me, but it's a fad I guess.

Indidently, did you know that when Chuck Norris does pushups he is actually pushing the Earth down? I didn't realize that before...

Yeah Bones, I first heard the Chuck Norris stuff in WoW. I think we were raiding UBRS, we downed the Beast and someone upped with, "PWNED! Like Chuck Norris on a blind man!"

Now that I understand it, there's much more hilarity to the comment.

He's not really being panned right now. In fact.. I would watch for a fatal roundhouse any time now just for saying that. By the time you see Chuck coming, though, it'll be too late.. :P

That's funny stuff! Ever used shad sides for cat-bait? I put it on the treblehook while wearing rubber gloves & holding my breath. But channels love it.
Having said that:
1.) Anything that comes out of Brown University is suspect; and,
2.) Chuck Norris can sharpen a lawn mover blade
while the mower is running.
