How many flies need to be buzzing a dead horse before you guys stop beating it?

You seemed to have lived a very good life.

RIP Chuck. I am truly saddened. In my younger days random people would approach me and tell me I looked like Chuck Norris. A compliment. Somewhere around here I have a Chuck Norris joke book. Hilarious. So long, man.SystemLuxman L-590AXII Integrated Amplifier|KEF Reference 1 Loudspeakers|PS Audio Directream Jr|Sansui TU-9900 Tuner|TEAC A-6100 RtR|REL T/9X SE Sub

I never heard a bad word about him. He seemed like a very grounded man.See my profile for list of gear.

Two good friends and professionals, even though Bruce appeared to pull Chuck's chest hairs out here...

Aw man… this one hurts. Beyond a great actor, just an overall great human being… never caught up in Hollywood drama or BS - just a class act. Perhaps my favorite film of his is Lone Wolf Mcquade, but right on its heels would be Forced Vengeance. So many great action films from my childhood:-(
Perhaps the most fitting eulogy for Mr Norris are the jokes, so here are a few of my favs:
Chuck Norris doesn’t do push-ups, he bench-presses the earth…
How many push-ups can Chuck Norris do? All of them…
If Chuck Norris had been on the Titanic, the iceberg would have sank in the ocean…
The boogeyman checks under his bed at night for Chuck Norris…
Chuck Norris doesn’t swim - the water pushes him along out of fear…
Rest in peace sir - you will be missed…:-(“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

R.I.P. He will be missed..

Due to the work that I did when I first came to Los Angeles, installing cell phones, Chuck was the first celebrity that I met doing that work. He had a Mercedes 560 SEL back in the day and it was literally the first phone I ever installed in someone’s car. I remember trying desperately to get the backseat out of that thing to the point that I ripped the leather under the headrest, I was able to repair it to a point that it wasn’t noticeable any longer, but I still lived in fear for a good long time afterwards that I was going to get my AZZ kicked by Chuck Norris. Looking back on it now I wish he would have because it would’ve been something else to have a memory about. About a year later, he came back in the shop and we took the phone out of that car and installed it in a different one. Over the years I met with him I half a dozen more times the last time being about 2002. He was always smiling, cheerful, and pleasant to be around. And he always had a story to tell. He was a great man. He will be missed.The Gear...

This joke is NSFW, but it's one of my fave CN jokes. Maybe because it's the only one I can always recall off hand. If you don't like sophomorish humor then skip it:

Very sad to hear, my son walked up to me today after I got up and told me the news, I was taken back for a moment, just seemed surreal. I grew up watching his movies and Walker Texas Ranger....a true legend for sure. R.I.P.

My personal favs:
- Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
- Scientist say our universe is constantly expanding. It's actually running away from Chuck Norris.
- They tried to name a street after Chuck Norris, but they had to change it, because nobody crosses Chuck Norris.
- Ghosts sit around the campfire and tell Chuck Norris stories. -
Chuck Norris once gave a horse a solid uppercut. This is why we today have giraffes.
When Chuck Norris was born he slapped the doctors and nurses and made THEM cry. Then he drove his mom home from the hospital.
Chuck Norris once visited the Virgin Islands. Since then they've been known simply as "the Islands".SystemLuxman L-590AXII Integrated Amplifier|KEF Reference 1 Loudspeakers|PS Audio Directream Jr|Sansui TU-9900 Tuner|TEAC A-6100 RtR|REL T/9X SE Sub -
