A quote that he gave some years ago in an interview.
Norris’ tough-guy persona also inspired an early social media trend often referred to as “Chuck Norris facts,” an ever-growing list of hyperbolic “factoids” about Norris, highlighting his rugged reputation, according to People.
“A kid from Brown University started sending these Chuck Norris facts around via e-mail,” Norris told Time in 2008. “I’m reading them and going, hey, these are pretty doggone funny. My favorite was, ‘They wanted to put Chuck Norris on Mt. Rushmore, but the granite wasn’t tough enough for his beard.’ I figured they’d just last a couple weeks; it amazes me this has gone on for so long.”
A devout Christian and longtime Republican who twice endorsed Mike Huckabee for president, Norris also told Time that military members stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan at the time started developing their own Chuck Norris facts. “That’s actually how I got to Iraq in the first place — the troops started bugging their commanders,” he said. “When I arrived in Iraq, I saw a sign that said, ‘Chuck Norris is here. We can now go home.’ Man, I wished that was the truth,” he said.
He got a stuntman to do crying scenes for him.
WWhen Chuck Norris was born. Chuck slapped the doctor and then drive himself and his mother home....
My favourite one was "Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird"

it’s one thing to be a “famous actor”, but when society creates a whole genre of joke based on you that’s something else. I’m not a particular fan of his work but have to recognise his impact on the world of film.

It's great to log on here in the evening and see a pile of threads with numerous new comments. Seems to be a bit more life about the place and decent discussions too.👍️
Bah humbug
Is the current situation in the middle east impacting anyones plans for the year ahead?
I bought 20 weanlings two weeks ago, was going to go and get another 20 but thinking maybe I should hold off and see how things play out.
Vet diagnosed a bought in weanling with mortellaro this evening.
She arrived here early Feb
Never had it here before, reading up on it now & seems to be difficult to eradicate.
Any of ye here have it with young store cattle before?
Has it in one in beef pen, sprayed his foot occasionally. Killed him soon after. Never spread further
folks. I’m for my first horse outing tomorrow in Navan as part of a stag. Any tips accepted for horses. (Or whatever the terminology is)
One end of the stupid things bites, and the other end kicks.
They're best avoided!
I have that bit nailed down, we have a horse at home.
how can it be economically better off than Irish beef with the added transport costs? According to google, a ship takes 46 days to sail from New Zealand to Liverpool
Don't mention the long face
I think most is brought to uk on planes. Its extremely lucrative given the price of where their beef is at.
Avoid backing in handicaps unless you are an avid follower.
Showyourappreciation in the 5th
Glens Anthem in the 7th
Watch the market for movements
Enjoy…its a great day out imo
Just horse the beer into you and you'll be grand
scale. Costs about 1200 to send a container from Australia to the uk. How many sides of beef would you fit in a 40foot? 100? That’s €120 a side. Very doable
same with emissions. Yeah a container pumps out a lot of CO2 but it’s divided over 24000 containers in the biggest ships so shipping is a relatively small part of any products carbon footprint
Was at fairy house recently for a 40th. Fellas came round the table taking drink orders n a woman going around taking bets. Lad sitting beside me e100 each race, he got an 8/1 winner on last race. Only for that he had no change out of a grand for his day! Me with a fiver e/w!
Really enjoyable day out, had never done one before
Shipping costs are increasing daily due to the Israel war so hopefully soon the barons here will have to stop cutting the price
Heard bawling here during the night. Was expecting a weanling to be at it as sold her mother during the week. First thing this morning headed out to find all the weanlings got out of the yard, tru a creep gate into a field of grass. I forgot to put back in the bar on the gate.
God you'd want to see the mess they made of a 1/2 tonne bag of silage wrap and some netting. Why like? A field of fresh lush grass and ……no … let's piss of Patsy and make a mess. As my Father used to say in such circumstances - they wouldn't do it, if you wanted them to!
Be a slow start on the beer, we had a few warm up drinks last night and I can feel them on the head today.
I always pick a local trainer and back him all day. Go for gordon elliot.
Id Be a fiver each way man myself aswell, wouldn't know a good horse if it crossed me. The lads that are gambling all the time don't seem to know any better either!!
I sold calves yesterday, and even though im delighted with the price, I hope it was an exporter who bought them. Because there is no way in this world will a fella make money paying 500 plus for 3 wk old Angus calves
Enjoy your day, I’m not a betting man either. Might be more satisfying to bet each way though. Try looking at the horses in the ring first, it’s a bit agricultural I know, but this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it!
We've phone rebounders on outfarm. We put a lock on the gate before Christmas as some genius made **** of the field driving up to them. Yesterday , we were late going to outfarm as there was alot going on, around midday. 2 vehicles parked at the gate. They'd been there since 9. No phonecall, just sat in their jeeps. Wtf
They have oir number. Wouldn't you be so annoyed if you were their boss
Selling 3 week old fr bulls and angus in the local mart here. Fr making about 200 and Angus making 300 to 350. I'm delighted with that and a fair price on the buyer too I think. Most marts around here have 2 sales a week now. Thousands of calves going through every week. I see on O'Neil dairy farm video earlier that they arrived at the mart at 10 o clock and they were first in the yard. If that was around here you could have 7 - 800 calves ahead of you by 10 o clock.
