What's up with all the Chuck?

Let me preface this with a big, "I'm not a Chuck Norris fan", but several months ago while exiting a Walmart bathroom I was waiting for my son to finish so I started reading a poster on the wall about Chuck Norris. I found it to be hilarious!! I find it the whole Norris as a tough guy thing funny because Chuck Norris is such a small guy and most of his fight scenes are extremely staged....like why don't all six guys try to hit him at once instead of dancing around him while each one gets taken out. I happened upon Delta Force two nights ago...man those guys had bad aim. Chuck never was hiding behind anything as he dodged bullets and was never touched. Anyway, I digress (so what....it's my blog). Here are some of the types of things that were on the poster:
  • When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

  • Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

  • There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

  • Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.

  • Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

  • Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

  • Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

  • Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

  • There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist.

  • When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

  • Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.

  • 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.

  • Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

  • Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

  • Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost

  • Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching a DeltaForce marathon on Satellite TV.

  • Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship.
OK, so some are just plain dumb, but since then I've seen them popping up all over the place. I wonder what Chuck is thinking about all of this? I wonder if he's getting any royalties out of any of the products? I guess it really doesn't matter, I'm sure he's not wanting for anything. My understanding is that he's a pretty devout Christian. I know that can mean a lot of things in today's world....everyone thinks they are Christian which really waters the whole meaning down. Instead of asking someone in America if they are a Christian, the pollsters should ask a more detailed question. Maybe are you walking everyday with the Holy Spirit? or Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that goes beyond just knowing his name? I bet if we boiled it all down, less than 10% of America would be actually Christian and I dare say even less. More people probably thing Chuck Norris is actually a hero than think the Creator of the Universe could actually do all those things on the Chuck Norris poster...but doesn't have to. What a perspective....no wonder our culture is where it is.
