- moralestapia 7mo agoHaha, good one. I will have to steal this one for my upcoming valedictorian speech. The crowd is going to love it.
- plasticsoprano 7mo agoExcept is was said by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon Theodore Roosevelt’s death and co-opted as a Chuck Norris joke.
- ohjeez 7mo agoIt's a kickass obituary, no matter the subject!
- moralestapia 7mo agoI agree! It is funny because you usually think of Death as something inevitable and people just accept it but then ... some of these guys put up a fight. Mega-LMAO!
- chungy 7mo agoTeddy Roosevelt was the Chuck Norris of his day. It is appropriate.
- GolfPopper 7mo agoI think that comparison is quite unfair to Teddy, and overly flattering to Chuck Norris. Historian, sheriff, war hero, governor, explorer, and a successful President who reshaped America largely for the better. While Roosevelt was human, he led a life that very few have ever matched. That said, the line does fit them both.
- projektfu 7mo agoLiterally saved Football.
- SebastianSosa 7mo agoAll due respect, no comparison, teddy is a real legend not just cinema. Lets not conflate the two. Much love to chuck though.
- AdmiralAsshat 7mo agoI believe it's stolen from a quote said about Teddy Roosevelt https://markloveshistory.com/2018/01/06/death-had-to-take-roosevelt-sleeping-for-if-he-had-been-awake-there-would-have-been-a-fight-vice-president-thomas-marshall/ https://markloveshistory.com/2018/01/06/death-had-to-take-ro...
- wnevets 7mo agothey were better when they were Vin Diesel jokes.
- fullshark 7mo agoThe Vin Diesel jokes I remember had an absurd quality to them beyond "He's really tough." One I recall fondly was "Vin Diesel writes Donkey Kong Fan Fiction."
- huhtenberg 7mo agoChuck Norris jokes were making rounds well before Vin Diesel was even born.
- thiagoharry 7mo agoAnd yet death was defeated. And with that, Chuck Norris took up its mantle.
- ndsipa_pomu 7mo agoChuck Norris never slept, he just waited
- jm4 7mo agoChuck Norris doesn’t sleep. He waits.
- skeeter_sky 7mo agoChuck Norris didn't die. He just let everyone else live.
