too bad Chuck Norris will get the credit for this.

Crusader		2003-11-20 03:30:34 PM

Will the real Chuck Norris please stand up?

andonbray		2003-11-20 04:54:48 PM

"The Lord was with us that day."

Yeah, the lord loves to pull stunts like that.

"Kinnie Gibson was sitting by the door, and he kicked it three times. It came open and we got out. Nobody was hurt. The Lord was with us that day."

So Kinnie Gibson is a member of the nobility?

Well, it's good to see "Waco" and "flames engulfed it" in the same sentence without any deaths.

Voldemort		2003-11-20 05:04:24 PM

I, for one, welcome our new Chuck Norris Stunt Double overlords.

meshman		2003-11-20 05:04:32 PM

"Nobody was hurt. The Lord was with us that day."

If that's true, why did it happen in the first place? Maybe the lord was pissed and you just got lucky.

in other news, schwarzenegger's stunt double becomes president...

eh, got nothin'

Voldemort		2003-11-20 05:05:22 PM

No, the lord was giving him a "test". Yeah, that's right, a test.

Ishkur		2003-11-20 05:05:37 PM

"The Lord was with us that day."

Yeah, I always wonder about statements like that. What, like God was personally on your side? I hate it when athletes and entertainers thank God too. Like what the hell did he do. Hey, if God helped you win the game, what does that mean to the opposing team? What the hell did they wrong. Does that mean Satan is on their side?

That'd be pretty freaky to find out about. You just came to play the game, and you leave finding out that you are comparable to the ultimate evil in the universe.

Well, you hafta admit that those 'water into wine', curing of lepers, and transubstantiation gags have kinda been done to death.

But to this day, neither Chuck or his stunt double cannot live down the fact that Bruce Lee kicked both of their arses in Rome.

msubizkit4		2003-11-20 05:07:30 PM

Am I the only one, or does the sight of his face make you want to vomit too? I was able to avoid it for the most part until my final for a college class called Audience Responses to Entertainment. Our prof made us watch and analyze a horror flick with him as the hero and the dad from the Twisted Sister video as the immortal villain. And I had a horrible hangover while I was watching it. TORTURE!

mrfreewill		2003-11-20 05:07:47 PM

No, Chuck Norris' stunt double was with you today. Delusional fools!

CrazyTalk		2003-11-20 05:08:07 PM

everybody wants kung fu fighting *HIYA*

DAMN! i messed up the lyrics i know i know.

dalitJones		2003-11-20 05:09:10 PM

Is Chuck Norris a piss poor excuse for an actor or what? I bet his stunt man is a better actor. Hey, maybe this was staged?

missinglinks14		2003-11-20 05:09:31 PM

Chuck is O.K.,He is very passionate about Pow-Mia's and that can't be bad.

haplo53		2003-11-20 05:10:42 PM

It's more like Chuck Norris is Kinnie Gibson's acting double...

there's no shame in losing to a superior opponent. it doesn't mean you have to like it, but there shouldn't be any dishonor there. "ooh, you suck, bruce lee kicked your ass..."

D-Unit		2003-11-20 05:11:59 PM

While the real Chuck Norris was busy stocking shrimp flavoured Ramein Noodles at Wal-Mart....

gorillagorillagorilla		2003-11-20 05:14:01 PM

....that kid was fast as lightning!

woodstock94		2003-11-20 05:15:22 PM

How far can we fly on just one engine? All the way to the scene of the crash....We'll probably beat the ambulance by a good 30 minutes...

TrouserSnakeandLarry		2003-11-20 05:15:45 PM

Huey Lewis fingered my ass and my mom's stunt double got some coupons.

LetoJJ		2003-11-20 05:15:46 PM

Smookyfufu		2003-11-20 05:17:35 PM

Really? I thought the greeter at my Wal-Mart looked familiar...

Larry that was so farking stupid and off topic it was funny.

mrfreewill		2003-11-20 05:18:19 PM

anyway, his uncanny quick thinking is obviously due to his synaptic acceleration, courtesy of Satyr Corp.

Chuck is O.K.,He is very passionate about Pow-Mia's and that can't be bad.

He's a vet himself, although he never saw combat. He was an Air Force MP, and picked up martial arts while stationed in South Korea.

I used to love Missing in Action on Cinemax as a kid. Man, do the sequels blow goats.

I don't know, i thought it was pretty funny.

whiskey_33		2003-11-20 05:22:43 PM

Wasnt Chuck Norris the number one Karate Champion during his time? Why on earth does he need a stunt double?

Its like Stone Cold shooting a movie and its like, wait, stunt double come up....

DAMN! No wonder he got his ass kicked by Bruce Lee. He sucks.

LincolnLogolas		2003-11-20 05:23:10 PM

That's not a hero, that's a guy saving his own hide. I'd kick open the damn door too if I was trapped in a burning plane, and I'm not the heroic kinda person.

I'm the kind of person that if I and a female friend were being chased by a werewolf/vampire/psycho, I'd trip her so I could get away.

We need a "Self-Preservation" tag

dalitJones		2003-11-20 05:23:49 PM

Must remember not to click refresh after making a post...

TrouserSnakeandLarry		2003-11-20 05:27:05 PM

Wanted: stunt double. Requirements: high kicks in tight jeans and cowboy boots. Must not get more pussy than Chuck Norris. Experience freeing soldiers a plus. Frank Stallone need not apply.

msubizkit4		2003-11-20 05:28:17 PM

damnit, TheLude, are you trying to kill me?

el yotcho		2003-11-20 05:29:03 PM

What? Kimmy Gibbler?

b0bb0		2003-11-20 05:29:04 PM

Jeez Larry that was completely out of left field there.

Did you get the dirty sanchez?

geosprint		2003-11-20 05:30:13 PM

The cow in "Kung Pow Enter the Fist" could take Chucki Norris.

Zoobtro		2003-11-20 05:31:36 PM

Kinnie Gibson was sitting by the door, and he kicked it three times.

He kicked it! Chuck Norris! Kicks! The Lord!

What a great story.

SpinalTapp		2003-11-20 05:31:48 PM

one of the girls that lives in my dorm waited on Chuck Norris at Pappadeaux in Dallas the other night... he tipped her like $50 too. apparently a nice guy.

Penis Mightier		2003-11-20 05:33:40 PM

The man had to kick it 3 times? Meh, thats weak.

CrazyTalk		2003-11-20 05:34:10 PM

though it was a little bit frightening..... *flute*

RandyJohnson		2003-11-20 05:34:51 PM

Is that Chuck Norris' stunt double or is it Mike Piazza's stunt double?

Xenomech		2003-11-20 05:35:23 PM

Way to go Chuck Norris! You da man!

/feh

AcornMan		2003-11-20 05:35:37 PM

Here's what I've never understood: Chuck Norris is a stunt man, so why the hell does he need a stunt double? It's like Mark McGwire using a pinch hitter.
