Well this weekend was a standard Brian Bass weekend. Jammed at my
place on Friday. Played Frisbee Golf on Saturday(I'm still sore), went
to church/sunday school and watched the Cowboys win(see previous
post). At church we had a guest speaker Chuck Norris. He was pretty
cool, he joined our church and promoted his new book. I figured I'd
get him to sign it and give it to mom - who has a broken ankle. It was
a long line and I got to shake his hand. 11 years ago when I was in
high school, my step-brother and I stopped to get oil for his 1971
green beat-up ford truck "The Hulkster". The first thing we see coming
out of auto-zone is a guy that looks just like Chuck Norris. The first
thing he says is "I'm not Chuck Norris" Apparently he got told that so
many times he always told people that before he even said hello. At
the time he did look an awful lot like him and we still thought he
might have been him even though he said he wasn't. When I shook
Chuck's hand yesterday and looked at him I finally knew the answer to
that question we asked 11 years ago. Nope, he definately wasn't Chuck
Norris, he was just a guy who had stubble and wanted people to think
he was. I suppose if he really didn't want to look like him he should
have shaved.
