I was at home with the flu for a few days last week (not an experience I would recommend to anyone), and I did something I’ve never done before. I watched a few episodes of Walker: Texas Ranger. I had always assumed, based on the title I suppose, that the show was about your typical tougher-than-nails-cowboy-who-lives-by-his-own-rules-but-has-a-heart-of-gold type. Turns out, it’s mainly about jumping out of helicopters onto people, and then proceeding to kick them. A lot. Like, I think there have been kick-boxing matches with less kicking. Now I get all those Chuck Norris facts which set the internets abuzz a few years ago.
I also caught a few episodes of Ninja Warrior. It’s kinda like Gladiators, only without the gladiators themselves (an improvement), and with the difficulty turned up about ten difficulty units. And that’s on a scale of five. You should totally check it out.
Now if only we could get Chuck Norris to compete on Ninja Warrior...
