It’s Friday morning and all I watched last night was The Fugitive and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Harrison Ford is what I strive to be in the future and IASP is still a tremendous show. Sadly, the season finale is next week. Since this is Friday I will focus on the positives from last night. Harrison Ford was the highlight of my night; you could say that I have a non-sexual crush on Harrison Ford.
Harrison has been a CIA agent, the President, a space pilot, a Colonel in the Army, an archeologist, and a Blade Runner, among other characters. There is always action with Harrison Ford, and not crap action like you get with Steven Seagal. On the Fourth of July this year, Spike TV made a day of the four best action stars and Harrison was not among them. This is just one of the many things wrong with Spike TV. I get it that it is funny to say that Chuck Norris is a great actor and he created Earth and so on. Honestly, Chuck Norris is a poor man’s kung-fu version of Harrison Ford.
Hey, Chuck Norris fanatics, Jack Ryan would rock Chuck Norris in a fistfight and so would the Blade Runner – there is no doubt. Han Solo would work over any challenger. If you have your doubts, just recall that he out smarted a Star Destroyer and that he did score Princess Leia in the end. Chuck Norris never scored a princess.
So last week I had a problem with Drew Barrymore out of nowhere and this week it is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris websites and references should stop by now. Conan O’Brien made him popular on his late night show and now it is time for Chuck to fade into oblivion.
One more thing before I let you go on this Friday: I am glad the robot dance has replaced the disco-pointing dance as the new “funny” way to dance as if you don’t care. Kind of a random note, but it gives you something to think about other than work. Have a glorious weekend.
