There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all.

Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.”

Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen.

Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going live. I wish I had printed that rejection out and framed it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

He had some pretty awful views that he was pretty loud about, especially later in life. He also cheated on his wife at one point. However, so as not to speak (purely) ill of the dead, I will say that he was an accomplished martial artist with a prolific film career.

To be fair, you probably have some views some people think are pretty awful.

Me 5 years ago did. I agree with all my views today. Who knows about me 5 years from now

He finally defeated life

While normally making jokes after a person's death would be socially questionable, in this case Chuck Norris himself loved the Chuck Norris jokes. For me at least, a good sense of humor is maybe the most endearing personality trait. RIP

Giving people reason to laugh while you are old and dying is a superpower. I wish i will have it, too.

If I can quote Chael Sonnen, I’d like to say ”you absolutely suck!”
