If You Can See Chuck Norris, He Can See You. If You Can't See Chuck Norris, You May Be Only Seconds Away From Death.

Mayor Will Wynn took a break from his hard work of trying to cram as many people as possible into a small area Wednesday to hold a ceremony on the steps of City Hall featuring karate legend and unfortunate pop-culture icon, Chuck Norris.

If you are reading this, odds are you are live in Austin, so we thought you should know that this your city council presented Chuck Norris withThe Honorary Austin Citizen Award.

It gets better..

Today is no ordinary Friday; today is officially Chuck Norris Day throughout the city of Austin. Ay yah!

We're not sure exactly why they bestowed the honor of the Kung Fu Walker Texas Ranger, but the answer may lie somewhere in this 'fact sheet.' Or it could have something to do with the fact that he's not only six-time world karate champion, but also a champion speed boat racer. Oh, yes, he is. And if you were at the Alamo a couple of weeks ago, you may have heard him mention this one or fifteen times.

As we let you know earlier, Norris is in town for the kickoff of his World Combat League West Coast Playoffs at the Frank Erwin Center tonight at 8pm. The WCL is the first professional competitive martial arts circuit in the world and most proceeds go to Norris' Texas-based developmental martial arts program for at-risk youth, Kick Start.
