Chuck Norris BUMP!
You know, I haven't heard one so-called Christmas commercial yet that didn't use either crappy music or crappy lyrics to traditional songs.

Perfect!
Personally, I love hanging out with the family and watching old Christmas movies for the fiftieth time. Relaxing. The mania with loading up on presents can wreck the Holiday season. (Holiday = "Holy Day")
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
When Chuck Norris runs the doesn't propel himself forward, he rotates the Earth beneath his feet... :D
Great article. I still have some of my colthespin "dragsters". The round springy things served as the wheels. Crayon "paint" and racing stipes too!
Say "Bloody Mary", "Biggie Smalls", and "Chuck Norris" three times. Mary is Bloody and Biggie is small because Chuck Norris got to them first before he roundhouse kicks you in the bathroom.
Saying Happy Holidays will earn you three roundhouse kicks. Merry Christmas will earn you a half kick, which gives you a 12.796% chance of survival.
I have a story to tell about Norris told to me by my girlfriend.
Norris was in Iraq a couple weeks ago, where my girlfriend's brother is currently serving in the military.
There was a threat of snipers and an ambush, and Norris was being driven through the area rather quickly. However, the troops in this young man's unit waved to him and clearly expressed they liked him.
Over the verbal displeasure of those driving him through the area, Chuck demanded the car stop. He was going to get out of the car and meet those soldiers.
And he did. He walked out of the vehicle and talked to those soldiers for a few minutes in a reportedly rather dangerous area.
That is all I really know of the story, but my gf's brother was really excited getting to meet Norris since he is from Texas and grew up watching Walker. Chuck was incredibly nice to these soldiers.
In a time when some of the people going over to Iraq probably are just trying to get headlines, Chuck clearly is going for those soldiers, and he will even stoop when advised not to do so in order to meet with them.
He is a great American.
And a great man.
And this was a great article.
"No, thank you, Chuck Norris."
Man, that still has me in stiches every time I think of that line from the movie Dodgeball....
Chuck Norris is an authority on Christmas; he once threw a roundhouse kick that was so fast, he went back in time and witnessed the Nativity.
Okay, I'm a little hesitant to inject a female point of view in this testosterone discussion, but let me add somethng I have noticed in the way of creeping PC.
I love to buy Christmas magazines that feature Christmas season decorating ideas. These are magazines like Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart's Living, etc., etc. At any rate I noticed a few years ago that notions that Christmas had any religious significance was quickly disappearing from decorating ideas. In fact I started specifically looking at magazines for religious decorations--a nativity set in the background, an angel on a tree, any little thing that bespoke the religious origin of Christmas--in the ideas articles, in advertisements, in backgrounds of photographs of the people being interviewed. So far this year it continues to be an almost total shutout. For example, I found only one religious symbol in Martha Stewart's 260-page December issue. It was a menorah in a picture accompanying Hannakuh recipes. Nothing whatsoever Christian in all the other pages.
That is the pattern these days and it is simply not a coincidence. You have to work pretty hard at specifically excluding religious symbols of any kind in order to have that complete a shutout on Christmas decorating or cooking or entertaining. Sad that the real meaning of Christmas is deemed so dangerous these days.
I've always liked Chuck.
Chuck Norris ping.
Merry Christmas, it's all about Jesus. Amen.
There is no chin under Chuck Norris' Beard. There is only another fist.
Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
