Chuck's "Farewell to Walker" Letter
Dear Friends:
I was lying in bed a couple of months ago and I started reflecting back to my Martial Arts career as a fighter. I remembered back to 1974, when I decided to retire after six years as the undefeated World Middleweight Karate Champion. I thought that I could defend my title again in 1975 at the age of 35 and win my seventh consecutive year, but then again I could probably lose, so I decided to retire as an undefeated champion. To this day I am considered one of the top fighters of all time. If I had fought and lost, that may not have been the case.
Then I began thinking about Walker, Texas Ranger. Fortunately, Walker has been a top rated series for eight years and I thought it could probably have a successful ninth season, but then again maybe not. Anyway that is the reason I am ending Walker, Texas Ranger. I want the series to end as a winner. I know the let down of Walker being over will be very emotionally hard on me, just as it did when I retired as a fighter, but I did not stop doing my Martial Arts when I retired and I will not stop acting when Walker is over. I hope whenever my acting career goes that I will still have your support! As I have always believed, "When one door closes, a bigger one opens."
God Bless you.
Sincerely your friend,
Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris was 35 in '75? -- that means he's pushing 70. And also, Jesus Christ, Walker Texas Ranger was on for eight years?!
First of all you know I completely don't understand your whole "Walker" thing?
But anyways, that's why god invented "DAWG the bounty hunter". Just like Walker w/ a side of Jesus and Dawg's wife thrown in for good measure!
First of all, Chuck Norris isn't pushing 70, he defies all time and space...in Chuck Norris years, he's just over 6 years old. As for Walker with a side of JC...I'm thinking about pitching a show to the WB where Norris and Dawg team up to fight crime and in the meantime they pass Dawg wife back and forth...okay I think I just made myself sick with that one.
