Do you know it's all about Chuck Norris now? He'll wear you down, eventually. You will laugh or he will kick you in the face with a roundhouse kick.

Frankie has actually come out of his room this week. He cannot resist the pull of the computer -- he's been lured out by jokes about Chuck Norris. He reads, then he laughs and laughs.

Most of the time it's a low Beavis and Butthead type of "heh, heh, heh." But sometimes he starts laughing to tears and tries to read aloud the hilarious things said about Chuck.

Oh, it's stupid stuff -- even for someone like me who loves the, "it's so stupid it's funny" genre. It's making me like Frankie this week. And listening to him read the fiftieth stupid statement about Chuck Norris doing a roundhouse kick, it's starting to wear me down -- I've even laughed at a couple of them. The jokes only work in the context of fifty or so, individually they are of no comic value.
