Let me tell you about my childhood hero...... Who's yours?

FEAR: What is that James ? And "chuck" does it not seem the the word is derived from "chicken". I dont have the image generator here else for sure you would have chuck norris with feathers.

That's a pretty handy mindset to have at such a young age alok! If you were to combine Chuck Norris, Mohamed Ali AND Bruce Lee all into one then I reckon there would be a whuppin' created that would equal and all out nuclear war! LOL. What pajamas do you wear? Hmmm. That's a tough one, but I am assuming that you own something with bunnies on it! Thanks for the response.

Hahahaha. Well firstly alok, I have no reason to question your ability to get eggs out of chickens by just looking at them; but I am sure that Chuck will be stepping up to question this at any moment so be sure to have your running shoes on! Chuck Norris is also very environmentally aware too by the way so recycles his own sweat repeatedly. The more Red Bull he drinks, the more he sweats and the Red Bull becomes even purer! It's like a Norris distillation and filtration process really and the mani ingredient as always is FEAR. I would tell him to get off the Monopoly board too, but to be honest I just don't have the courage. I once asked him what the time was and he said "Two seconds until....." I then stupidly asked "Until what??" and he roundhouse kicked me in the face! You just don't mess with Chuck, alok..... Sorry!

OK. I shall eagerly await your comeback then SaintAnne. Make sure you tune the flux capacitor properly because we need you to come back from your time travel into the past OK. Thanks for the interim response! lol.

That answer is not boring at all SaintAnne! I have said earlier in the thread that having a real-life role model is the ultimate role model of all. Just not everybody gets to experience one is all. Jane Goodall! Interesting choice there. An amzing woman though and unparalleled in her field, no question!

I'm back! So many things happened and they were much simpler and happier too back then! But the present is not too shabby either. My answer is a bit boring but it was my dad that was my childhood hero. For a single father, he was always there for us. He let me do things my way and let me know that I can be whoever I want to be. Then I started getting into Jane Goodall and hippies. Flower Power!

yup you are not suppossed to laugh.when will you learn?????????

I couldn't help it riya! It was the "boo hoo" at the end that made me chuckle.....

lol. I shouldn't laugh I suppose riya but that was funny! Having the looks but not all the other qualities of Aamir Khan ain't too bad an effort, yes? Thanks for the response and enjoy your Aamir!

I am sorry to have to bring you down a couple of notches here zigzagbuddha but I have checked the archives and it seems that while Chuck Norris is out every day, saving the world and kicking a@@...... Nancy Drew is back in his mansion, cooking him up tonnes of rump steak with extra hot tabasco sauce; and ironing his underpants! She is certainly very good at navigating her way through complex conundrums; but she has never been able to react swiftly to the presence of cold hard steel like Mr Norris! The closest she comes to "heroine" is that she needs to take "heroin" in order to keep tabs on her fear while existing in Chuck's presence.

Wow. I am seriously considering the printing off of these words and FRAMING them! I am rarely touched so deeply by such commanding words zigzagbuddha and I thank you sincerely for sharing them. The women of this era had such a spirit about them; but for some reason, along the way they just lost the joy! I think they had dogs that would bring your pipe and slippers in those days too! These days, the average dog when asked to do the same will slyly smile, walk on over and then use your own leg as a hump toy! What's this world coming to??

Jeez James, you sound like the author of this article (from a 1955 edition of 'Housekeeping Monthly' magazine): The good wife’s guide *Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. *Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. *Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. *Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. *Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables. *Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. *Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. *Be happy to see him. *Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. *Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home later or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. *Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. *Don’t greet him with complaints and problems. *Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. *Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. *Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. [b]You have no right to question him. *A good wife always knows her place. [/b] No phucking wonder men fought against 'women's lib'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no wonder women demanded it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yeah, Nancy Drew was from that era so she probably was back at the mansion ironing his phucking underwear!

Why thank you Bo! (It's all a ruse by the way). I grew up watching Linda Carter as Wonder Woman and they are about to release a new version soon actually! I think it's going to be Megan Fox as Wonder Woman this time around? Gotta love the invisible plane! Thanks for the response and if you decide to dress as WW next Halloween then make sure you put a pic on your profile.

Ehhh, you might be disappointed, James. I am not, and never was that hot. Hmmmmm, I might have had a girl crush on Linda Carter. Ya think?*L*

Oh, wait! I just remembered something. I wanted to be Wonder Woman!

He-Man and Superman I know, but Shaktimaan is a new one for me! Put all three of 'em in a room with Chuck Norris though and there would be nothing but tears for sure! Thanks for the response.

child hood hero ........................................................... .......................................................................... ..............i got one CHACHA CHOUDRAY

This is yet another one I have to look up I think! I have not heard of this one.

Chuck Norris is a champion, full stop! I can't believe you went through a Richard Simmons phase! Of all people??? Still, he's a healthy dude and that's a positive message to gibve to others. Having a Grandparent or Parent as a hero is great too. We all should be so lucky to have strong and positive role models directly involved in our lives. Thanks for the response Becca.

He sounds like he was a wonderful man Becca, you are very lucky to have had such a person in your life!

The "Little Master'! I know of him indeed Daffodil and have even met him and many other Indian cricket players as well. Before I moved to India full time I used to travel there for business; and on one trip I shared the same floor as the Indian Circket Team at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. He wasn't staying there himself as he has a home nearby; but one of the days he was in the lobby with some other players so I went and said hello! He is a living cricket legend, no question! Thanks for the response.

I have been a fan of cricket since I was a little boy Daffodil, so it was exciting for me too! I grew up knowing Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh and many other Aussie legends because my Father was on the board of the Cricket Association in my home state in Australia back in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't get to watch cricket from here unfortunately, but I will get straight back into that when I eventually get back home!

Wow! You have met My hero in person. I envy you james.

Hiya hiddenwing! I am gald you are enjoying the panda spanking genre..... 108 members so far so I couldn't be happier! Yes I have seen a real panda before at a zoo but not in the wild in China or anything like that. Now I have to admit that Confucious is one heck of a childhood idol to have. How profound! One of my favourite Confuscious sayings is "A closed mouth catches no flies!" I have watched all the shows you mention too but never ended up having any heroes out of them. CHuck Norris was mine because all of his movies were very popular in the early 80's and he was a fighting machine that me and all my friends though was an absolute legend! Bill Gates is certainly an interesting role model too. One heck of a shrewd business man and a very, very successful guy too! Thanks for the response.

There;s nothing like a good butt kicking from Grandma to bring us back down to earth is there? I'm amazed this act didn't work for you hiddenwing, maybe you should try it again, but from a higher location with more people around? Thanks for the response and yes, I know you're a clever one!

Oh, maybe you are right! If I shoult more loudly in a higher place, that will work! There happened to be skyscraper in town! What a pity though! My hero is not Cat Doraemon anymore! If you told me long long ago....

Don't even think there was something wrong with my IQ! I was just so innocent that I tend to think others were as kind as me. So to speak, I was too ingenuous in believing what others say. Anyway, I am a clever person!

Hi elitess! OOOOOOOOH..... MACGYVER! Any man that can avert a nuclear war with only a box of matches, teaspoon and a sock gets a big thumbs up from me too! Chuck Norris would dish out to him one hell of a whuppin' though! Actually it would have been nice to see an episode where the world DID get destroyed at least once, because for sure, MacGyver would have just grabbed a few household items and rebuilt it! Thanks for the response.

Hahahahahahaha! MacGyver would have grabbed a few household items and rebuilt the world! You are too funny James!

Ahahaha... Stargate 1. Dang Boyfriend introduced me to that show. I think I've watched some seasons on DVD.

I am sorry to say that I don't know the Hero of Tamil, but if he can cut bullets with his blades then he must be one tough dude! When I get a chance I will try to look him up online and see him for myself! I am sure Chuck Norris won't mind at all if I check out his potential competition once in a while! lol. Thanks for the response rkrish.

Well! I can't help but take my hat off to him for THAT then! Sounds like a Timl Sean Connery or something!

He is aged 58 years but atleast the heroines acts with them are yet to cross the teenage...

I think that this is definitely to your advantage drealm. At least you can kiss and cuddle your girlfriend and not have to explain yourself like you would have to if you did the same to Superman! Thanks for the response.

Hi 23uday! That is a very impressive list actually. We should get them all together at once with Chuck Norris and see who leaves the room alive! Thanks for the response.

I used to watch He-Man cartoons as a kid actually but it was always so hard to take the dude seriously with that bowl-cut he had! If IronMan were to face Chuck Norris I think he would instantly rust from the tears caused by fear; and the PowerPuff girls would be reduced to the "Pile of Powder" girls in a few seconds! lol. Thanks for the response sheena.

I am an Australian Lou and could not agree with you more regarding how much Steve Irwin contributed to the community when it comes to animals and their protection. He was an amazing man and will be sorely missed. His Daughter Bindi has become very popular herself these days and looks to be carrying on the tradition too, which is fantastic! Steve Irwin was certainly brave; and to be honest, at times he was downright crazy too! lol. I think that if Chuck Norris had of had the chance to meet Steve Irwin he would have just settled for an arm wrestle I reckon! (Chuck still would have won though I'm afraid; but there would have been a healthy respect there!) Thanks for the response lou.

There is nothing better than having a real-life hero showing us the way Ajay! You are very lucky as not all of us have one of these at all. Thanks for the response.
