Okay, I'm not cool any more (I'm not sure if I EVER was, but I'll leave this for my kids to determine). I don't pick up on trends, fads, or fashions since they aren't really that important to me. I do not read 'People', 'Us', 'Time', 'Cosmopolitan', or, hard as it is to believe, the 'National Enquirer'.
I have an unhealthy distrust for 'all things Hollywood' as I believe that actors who read lines which are written for them are, in general, not to be trusted when speaking about anything affecting national security, presidential politics, or scientific matters. (Matt Damon springs to mind...)
It has recently come to my attention however that there is ONE man who is different. His name? "Chuck Norris"
I learned much about Chuck Norris earlier this year while shopping at Kohl's for clothing for my boys. I hadn't seen Chuck Norris in years (except hawking that multi-purpose Power Gym). I thought Chuck's celebrity career ended when "Walker, Texas Ranger" did. But there I was at Kohl's, looking at Chuck Norris' face plastered on T-Shirts everywhere, and accompanied by 'manly' expressions regarding the amount of 'manliness' embodied in a single man, yes, THE man -- Chuck Norris. Man, oh man...
I had no idea of the phenomena I almost missed. In case you've been living in a cave also, check out the following (so you'll be 'cool' enough for your kids to be seen with):
