When Chuck Norris came to me in a vision, post here, I had no idea his inspiration would spill over to others like the great who generously staked 10 Steem to make it a contest! He also sent me 5 Steem as a reward, of which I allocated 2 for follow up prizes. After tons of clever and funny entries, I've decided on my TOP 3 picks for the Steem prizes.
My criteria - whichever made me laugh out loud the most and continued to stand out over the week. I viewed each response as a separate entry and didn't consider who they were from. (Stop trying to protect our feelings and just get on with the results already.)
First Prize = 10 STEEM
"Chuck Norris never rapes the reward pool, he just makes sweet love with it."
So simple, so effective, such powerful imagery, such envy. Everyone wants to make sweet love with the reward pool, but carrying the honor of being eskimo brothers/sisters with Chuck would be crippling in weight. Dan knew what he was doing here and he beat me at my own game. This was also short and... sweet. Sigh... not intended.
Chuck will be calling your cell phone in the next 5 minutes to congratulate you. I wouldn't miss his call if I were you.
Second Prize = 1 STEEM
"If someone dares to flag Chuck Norris, the flag bounces back to the flagger as a punch in the face."
This perfectly embodies Chuck's spirit. As silly as it sounds, this is completely believable and true. was on the right track with his "Flags are afraid of Chuck Norris" line, but
's line got me to laugh more with the imagery. Well done for your first comedy contribution!
Third Prize = 1 STEEM
"Chuck Norris is so persuasive, that when he responds to a troll, they actually understand logic and reason."
This pick was tough with so many other deserving entries, but I really liked the cerebral approach personally teasing us with false hope that trolls in their Mom's basement could finally become the butterflies they were all meant to be. My hopes are so high now, I might have to keep up this post series to avoid the withdrawal a life without Chuck Norris brings.
Honorable Mentions: EVERYONE for taking the time and putting in the effort to come up with great jokes, but stood out with her first stab at comedy with:
"Chuck Norris doesn’t ask for your vote, he swims in the rewards pool and lets you keep whatever he splashes in your face."
Part of the terms and conditions of this contest were that your joke would forever be etched into your wallet history. Wear it as a badge of honor!
While I'm on the subject, here are a few Chuck Norris jokes that popped in to my head now... Some call it a blessing, some call it a curse...
- Depending on his environment, Chuck Norris' mullet can be business in the front and back OR party in the front and back at the same time.
- If Chuck Norris commented with "Nice post. Very informative. Upvote and follow pls.", you'd pass out from the honor.
Here's my Steemit Jeopardy contest post which has about a day left to enter.
Another recent Chuck Norris post for some laughs.
Thanks for participating and making Steemit more fun.
