Happy Birthday Chuck Norris!

2006_3_chucknorris1.jpg

Today is Chuck Norris' 66th Birthday, and to celebrate, we went up to the corner of Lafayette and Spring street and photographed the awning at the Lafayette Smoke Shop. We're not sure if they're paying Chuck a royalty or not, but they totally should be. [Related: Chuck Norris facts, Chuck Norris' official website.]

After visiting Chuck's website, I realized that Chuck is my new best friend.

Chuck's "Farewell to Walker" Letter
Dear Friends:

I was lying in bed a couple of months ago and I started reflecting back to my Martial Arts career as a fighter. I remembered back to 1974, when I decided to retire after six years as the undefeated World Middleweight Karate Champion. I thought that I could defend my title again in 1975 at the age of 35 and win my seventh consecutive year, but then again I could probably lose, so I decided to retire as an undefeated champion. To this day I am considered one of the top fighters of all time. If I had fought and lost, that may not have been the case.

Then I began thinking about Walker, Texas Ranger. Fortunately, Walker has been a top rated series for eight years and I thought it could probably have a successful ninth season, but then again maybe not. Anyway that is the reason I am ending Walker, Texas Ranger. I want the series to end as a winner. I know the let down of Walker being over will be very emotionally hard on me, just as it did when I retired as a fighter, but I did not stop doing my Martial Arts when I retired and I will not stop acting when Walker is over. I hope whenever my acting career goes that I will still have your support! As I have always believed, "When one door closes, a bigger one opens."

God Bless you.

Sincerely your friend,

Chuck Norris

More from Chucknorris. com:

"Chuck was also a renowned teacher in the martial arts. Some of his students were Steve McQueen, Bob Barker, Priscilla Presley and Donnie & Marie Osmond."

Who erased the jake-hating comment? While the jake hate is a bit much (who can disagree with a good chuck norris post), I didn't know Gothamist erased comments it didn't like. Maybe Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the comment out because it wasn't about Chuck Norris.

SORRY-that is NOT Chuck Norris on the Lafayette Smoke Shop.

Lee Marvin: "It's a go; take 'em down!" Best line ever. Ever!

STOP YOUR FIGHTING, CHILDREN.

Donny & Marie Osmond? Wow, that's an image...

Gothamist,
I always thought that sign on Lafayette was Richard Boone as Paladin from "Have Gun - Will Travel" ( http://www.hgwt.com/color3.jpg ). Any body got my back on this?

Hey, Tim, no hating on Marie. I'm sure she could kick your butt. But I could have taken her down. Yeah, I could! Honest!

chuck norris doesn't have birthdays; earthlings awaken everyday and thank chuck norris for being born.

B-liner... I'm sure she could, especially given what I know now.

But I'm not sure you're gonna get far if you go into the bar and yell out "I just took down Marie Osmond!"

I would like to write to him to the direct email of Chuck Norris, if they could give me direction email of him.

Thanks...
