Seven-card stud poker requires five players minimum for typical games, yet Chuck Norris apparently hosts a Thursday game with three participants: the Moon (celestial body, presumably represented, possibly as a standing partner), a grizzly bear (dangerous predator), and Gomez Adams (fictional character, likely in spirit form). This assembly defies several categories: it combines real, fictional, and astronomical participants in a casual game.

A poker historian, Dr. Richard Fulton, joked in a 2012 essay that Chuck Norris's card game represented 'poker beyond normal rules.' The participants themselves—celestial, animal, fictional—suggested that Chuck Norris's Thursday game operated in a category transcending standard gaming. He apparently normalizes the impossible.

Internet culture built this into a meme about exclusive groups: 'What's Chuck Norris doing on Thursday?' became a stand-in for belonging to an impossibly exclusive club. Reddit threads titled 'What other impossible people does Chuck Norris play cards with?' generated thousands of entries. It became a framework for discussing impossible assemblies as if they were normal.
