Top 5 American Heroes

I thought it would be fun to start a top 5 list. Sort of a compilation of stupid shit and how they rank as I see it. So for today I thought I'd start the list off with American heroes. Some of these guys are accidental and some are just good at what they do. One is an actual icon. So here they are, accidental or otherwise, my list of the Top 5 American Heroes.



Top 5 American Heroes.


5. Ralph Hinkley - For 2 and a half years in the 80’s Ralph Hinkley walked on air even though he never thought he could feel so free-ee-ee. At that time he was literally the Greatest American Hero. He struggled with learning to fly and then he struggled even more with the landing part. He was a normal guy thrust into a difficult situation and it’s why we loved him as much as we did.


4. John McClain - He’s the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. And if you’re the bad guys he’s the one accidental hero you don't want to go up against. He just doesn’t know when to die and he’s never been very good at giving up.


3.Henry Jones Jr. - You know him better as Indy but according to his father that was the dog's name. He was the original Tomb Raider and I don’t know anyone that didn’t consider archeology as a profession after seeing Raiders of the lost Ark. No matter how disappointed you were last year when the latest installment of the Indiana Jones franchise was released you have to admit that you were disappointed because of how great the first 3 were.


2. Jack Bauer - For six “days” and one two hour Redemption we have been enthralled as America’s version of James Bond took on domestic terrorism. His exploits have even been invoked by politicians as a justification to various torture *cough* I mean interrogation techniques. But as most of you know by now the beauty of this show is that events occur in real time. It was a ground breaking approach and I don’t know anyone that has ever watched the show that didn’t get hooked instantly. Jack is so good that he could have easily been number one if not for the simple fact that you never see him use the restroom. I’m sorry but that shit just ain’t right. But no matter how much of a stud Jack is he’s no…


1. Chuck Norris - C’mon man. You didn’t really think that I could do a list like this without putting Chuck in the top spot did you? At the very least you have to respect the fact that I don’t want Mr. Norris kickin' down my door asking why he wasn’t numero uno.
