The other day I was nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award!  I was incredibly honored and then I learned it was just a meme thing that’s going around wordpress.  Then I realized it was still an honor knowing that there are people reading this thing other than my facebook friends and disappointed pedophiles so I thought I’d play along. Here’s the rules. I’m supposed to –

Thank and link the person that nominated me.

Share seven random facts about myself.

Pass this award on to 15 blogging friends.

Contact and congratulate the nominated bloggers.

So thank you to Broke Wife, Big City!(check out her blog! Funny stuff. Babies get punched.) I’ll treasure this fake award and place it on top of my imaginary fireplace mantle.

Rather than share seven random facts about myself I’ll just share seven random facts about Chuck Norris.

– Chuck Norris was born on March 10th, 1940.

– Chuck Norris’ birth name was Carlos Ray Norris. Ge got the nickname “Chuck” in the Air Force.

– Chuck Norris Joined the Air Force in 1958 and was shipped to Osan Air Base, South Korea. It was here that he started training in martial arts.

– Chuck Norris retired from competitive martial arts in 1974 with a record of 183-10-2.

– Chuck Norris made his acting debut in the 1969 film The Wrecking Crew.

– Chuck Norris is a staunch believer in Biblical Creationism.

– Chuck Norris has five children.

Unfortunately, even though this may disqualify me from winning the fake award, I’m not going to nominate 15 other bloggers. Mainly because I don’t even read 15 other blogs. The only other blogs I’ve read on wordpress are ones that have commented and liked this blog. Also, it seems like a lot of work. All that linking and thanking. Pass.

Hopefully I do win, though. I’ve got a speech all prepared. It’s really just Halle Berry’s 2002 Oscar acceptance speech but I have it prepared, damnit!

Wish me fake luck!
