@TimelessTrvlr It took me almost 43 years to get my life together and follow you. Now I can make something of myself.

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him.

Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty.

We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway.

Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps.

Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine.

In North America, black bears are apex predators.
Except that one time one met Chuck Norris.

That bear is now a rug.

RIP to the legend.

Don't forget that Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them. (Meme art from an original work by Carolee Clark, King of Mice Studios)

I’m unsure what to do with my life now that these Games are over. Who am I? What did I do before them? #readyforthenext

@Olympics Unsure what I’m supposed to do now that the Games are over. What did I do before? Who was I?

@Walmart Lol except for the fact that I walked through Walmart this morning listening to Mariah Carey’s “all I want for Christmas” song until I heard “just kidding, we wouldn’t do that to you. It’s April Fools”😂

@openshutter21 It’s so true! I’ll be trying to get a good shot with my camera and just switch over to my phone because I know it’ll catch something like that. Love your shots
