Chuck Norris - how did the whole thing start?

[Dark_Angel]

How did the whole "chuck norris can destroy thing with lasers from his eyes" kind of thing start?

 

[Kell_ee001]

The same as any other interweb fad - randomly

 

[fail at the internets]

I don't know. But i want it to end asap. On world of warcraft for example all you get in the main city's is talk about chuck norris and dirge. Makes me MAD.

Because he's so uncool, he became 'cool'. Let's start a new one: Jeremy Spake from 'Airport'.

Oh my sweet god. DON'T MENTION DIRGE TO ME. I hate that freaking sword. I want to hurt the person who started that :/

Seriously, I leave trade instantly all the time now.

But yeah, I really don't get the whole "chuck norris....." thing... its not really funny (to me at least) :/

/off topic. Sidewinder - I just noticed you have almost 141,000 posts O.O

He stars in crappy 70/80's low budget action films, what's not cool about that?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_Facts

Background

Chuck Norris Facts were originally seen on the Internet in early 2005. Conan O'Brien's Chuck Norris jokes on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (which generally center on Walker, Texas Ranger) have been seen as an inspiration for the fad. Chuck Norris Facts followed facts based on actors Vin Diesel and Bob Saget. The exaggerated style of these facts is similar to a recurring Saturday Night Live sketch called Bill Brasky. These are similar to tall tales such as those of Paul Bunyan. Chuck Norris Facts surged the gaming community shortly after a Chuck Norris Fact generator was introduced as a World of Warcraft addon in early 2006[1].

So true!

On Darkspear you have a choice: Dirge spam or Chuck Norris spam.

At least Dirge spam is rational.
