Slovaks vote to name bridge Chuck Norris

US action film star leads the running in public vote for name of bridge to cross Morava river into Austria

Slovaks have been voting overwhelmingly in favour of naming a new pedestrian and cycling bridge near their capital after 1980s US action film and TV star Chuck Norris.

The two other top names in the running for the bridge, which will span the Morava river and cross the border to Austria, were Maria Theresa after an Austro-Hungarian empress and the Devinska cycling bridge in honour of the closest village.

Norris, a martial arts expert-turned film star, is known for playing tough guy characters in such movies as Lone Wolf McQuade, Missing in Action and The Delta Force.

The actor's work has become a popular source of kitschy fun among Slovaks and a mainstay for local jokes about macho strength and invincibility.

The final decision will be up to a regional assembly. But regional governor Pavol Freso has said it would follow the wishes of the people in the internet ballot where Norris leads as the top choice for the bridge's name.

"The same way as we have so far been building it in full sight of the public, we will seek that the name is accepted by the public as well," he said.

The voting will run until April. As of Thursday, 1,157 votes have backed Norris, 74% of the total, leaving the runner-up "Maria Theresa Bridge" far behind with 8%.

Fuck man... speaking of barber shops. I'm trying to find a decent one local to South Windsor, CT. Found one that has been around since the 1920's, they do the whole retro experience. Hot towels, neck massage, cigars and beer available. A haircut alone is $30.00. Fuck off. lol

I'll just drive down to Prospect, CT (like a 35 minute drive) when I need a hair cut. Top notch work for half the price. $13.00, and that includes straight razor shave. I usually throw him $20-25.00.

I have never had a straight razor shave and always wanted one. I'd pay $30 for a shave and a haircut.

Thats the thing, the 30 bucks is just for the haircut. This place is real high end. For haircut, and straight razor shave, I believe it was 55 bucks. This is like in the lawyer district of Hartford. Fuck those prices. I can get those same services at my regular barber for half the price.

Fuck a straight razor shave. I trust no man to put something that sharp near my neck. What if he has a muscle spasm or something, or develops a sudden case of Parkinson's? I'll look like Ninja #54 in Kill Bill.

Then you wouldn't have to tip the barber.

The guy ran handcuffed from a cop, lost his clothes climbing two different fences, and ran naked through a church service and in front of a children's dance rehearsal.

Those crazy east siders.

I went to Cost Cutters for my latest haircut. Why? Because it's on my way to the bus stop, it's cheap, and I was particularly annoyed with hair getting in my eyes while I walked past it last Saturday.

But I don't need to justify my actions to you. So there.

I know my comment sounds heartless... But really, its a fucking ad for a show. It isnt rubbing anything in peoples' faces.

 

[Comeds]

Its not the first thing I think of when I see the ad but I guess I can understand New Yorkers seeing it like that. They should immediately change their ads to this or similar.

You're welcome AMC.
