Why am I obsessed with The Karate Kid?
I first watched it a while ago and now every time its on (which has been a lot the last few days) I'm compelled to watch it! I love it.

Is my obsession wrong? :P

2. I saw all of them in theaters as a kid
I remember standing in line forever just to get in.

They are movies that your kids can watch and you don't worry about body parts or language (or excessive violence).

18. I used to like Daniel
But after too many watchings he becomes a whining weenie. Besides the Cobra Kai had the best halloween costumes I've ever seen. One good man-date and they'd be pretty kool guys.

27. That wasn't a man-date

14. Oh man, I think I need to get some sleep
The thread right under this one was something about hummus, and i thought you were obsessed with hummus, and then you started talking about watching your hummus, and then I read the replies about Mr. Miagi and I was all :wtf:

But now I am better.

21. Interestingly...
Those are all moves from the Goju kata "Tensho". A good kata for teaching the precepts of body management or "Chinkuichi"(pronounced, in Okiniwan: chinkoots).

17. Hey, good, real Karate in there, in spots.
In spots. On the other hand, it is a good thing that at no time did Ralph Macchio ever intimate that he really knew a damn thing about Karate. Because, good god, he did not sell me on him having even a glimmer of competance at Karate.

KK2 could have been done a lot better too. My god, On Okinawa? It could have been incredibly rich with the history of martial arts and the people who practice them.

Ahhh...maybe someday...

Okay - post a thread regarding your cat bringing up a fur ball in GD. Report back your results :D

Oh and you cannot invoke the "chickenshit" rule - it is already superceded by the double dog dare rule.

No really, my cat has never had a fur ball (that I know of anyway) so how can I post about something I don't know? :shrug:

43. No invoking the chickenshit rule - I know I have a dangling particliple or
some other English 101 error, but go post the fucking thread. Or this one: "My cat pooped christmas tree tinsel and now is running away from her own ass - ask me anything."
