Chuck’s ranch is about 20 miles down the road from where I live.
He did the martial arts thing for the longest time, had his fitness products he sold, and help a lot of community related projects. From what I have heard from others, if you were to ever meet him out in the wild, he was just a regular guy, always friendly and ready with a handshake and a smile. I didn’t matter who you were or what you did.
Chuck Norris was on the Black Belt Board when my son got his Black Belt. Super nice guy, really big on the small details. He did a lot around here, SLC.
I apologize this Post is a little long (no difference really from any other of my posts but it warranted a disclaimer) . I found this on MSLSD believe it or not and found it respectful (if not funny) towards the ‘Legend; Meme’s helped make Mr. Norris a ICON!.
The martial-arts champion-turned-actor became a symbol of all things manly, and a lore grew around him, turning into memes in his honor, not at his expense. (That’s pretty HUGE in my book of slamming anyone who dares to be themselves)
Why did Chuck Norris jokes become so popular?
Chuck Norris jokes are among the earliest memes to hit the internet. They were always humorous, combining dad jokes with Norris’ persona, which he retained in his movies and TV show. They were hyperbolic and made him a larger-than-life figure, but were branded as “Chuck Norris facts,” and were mainly things no human could actually do. The Chuck Norris persona developed into more of an idea and embodiment of all things manly and badass. Jokes about Norris resemble the same idea as Dos Equis’ commercials around “the most interesting man in the world,” but came out first.
Best Chuck Norris jokes
If you grew up in the 2000s, there is a good chance you had a favorite “Chuck Norris joke.” Some of them are ludicrous, others are clever, but all of them are made in honor of Norris and the lore that has been built around him.
I use to work with someone who knew him and said things had to be done his way and that meant the right way . But paid well to have things done his way and he would do anything he could to help somebody.
