The Chuck Norris Appreciation Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

So, who here actually knows who Chuck Norris is, what he's famous for, and can name at least three movies he's been in?

I can only name "Walker: Texas Ranger" when it comes to his projects, but I'll go you one better and ask who knows which WWF wrestling event he was involved in back in 1994, in what capacity and during which main event match?

Chuck Norris was banned from competitive bullriding after a 1992 exhibition in San Antonio, when he rode the bull 1,346 miles from Texas to Milwaukee Wisconsin to pick up his dry cleaning.

Chuck Norris' dick is so big, it has it's own dick, and that dick is still bigger than yours.

One time, at band camp, Chuck Norris ate a percussionist.

Chuck Norris knows the last digit of pi.

They were going to release a Chuck Norris edition of Clue, but the answer always turns out to be "Chuck Norris. In The Library. With a Roundhouse Kick."

Chuck Norris once got into a fight with a one-armed Ninja. Seeing that he had an unfair advantage, Chuck Norris ripped both of his arms off and one of his legs. He then roundhouse-kicked the ninja in the head, killing him instantly, and proceeded to sow his limbs back on using only a rusty tent spike and bailing wire.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse-kicked a ten dollar bill into 200 nickels.

Chuck Norris actually built the stairway to heaven.

Sorry if I'm tired of the current Chuck Norris bandwagon going on now. I'd rather laugh at Missing in Action 1 & 2, his infommercials, and his cameo in Dodgeball.

I know he was in Sidekick. I remember seeing that movie and loving every sweet Chuck Norris second of it.

If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice.


Jack Bauers calender goes from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Jack Bauer.


Simon Says should be renamed to Jack Bauer Says because if Jack Bauer says something then you better fucking do it.


In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What the fuck have you done with your life?


Jesus died and rose from the dead in 3 days. It took Jack Bauer less than an hour. And he's done it twice.


Finding Nemo would have been vastly more exciting had Jack Bauer been looking for him.


When the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Jack Bauer.


If Jack and MacGyver were locked in a room together, Jack would make a bomb out of MacGyver and get out.


These are great :lol:.

Jean Claude Van Damme is the pwn. That guy can kick ass, it's a shame his latest movies are blegh.

I remember how excited I was when I heard he was going to star in a movie with Rodman. :oops:
