Lee Greenwood has Summoned the End for All Ice Bucket Challenges

Posted by | Aug 26, 2014 | , |

Tired of seeing ice bucket challenges flooding your social media?  The end is near, my friend. This week, American patriot and freedom aficionado Lee Greenwood unknowingly released the Kraken on ice buckets everywhere when he challenged the one and only Chuck Norris to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
