      There’s an old saying, “Never meet your heroes.”

      But now with social media, you know every famous person’s opinions, and really just the concept of a hero is almost gone. You have a couple of honest people here and there, and then you have a litany of people who idolize celebrities with well-known despicable or ridiculously stupid views like Chuck Norris.

    Sorry for his death and all, but now that I think of it, I don’t recall him being in anything good, ever. I don’t understand how he became a star.

    I was never a fan of his. I respected his martial art abilities. But I loved the Barrens chat and all the Chuck Norris jokes. God damn I loved those jokes.

      Chuck Norris only dies so he can double kick the ass of bad guys on the other side too!

      PS: oh, oh, I got another one: Chuck Norris died to go meet his look-alike and tell him to stop impersonating him :D
