Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t have a particular love of The Karate Kid. Any chuckle that I get at seeing a pop culture reference to the movie is solely based on the fact that two of my dearest friends are WILDLY obsessed with the movie. So much so that a few years ago for Halloween, Amanda and Dal tried to convince me to dress up as the skeleton gang from Karate Kid. When I told them that slapping on a skin tight unitard didn’t sound like a barrel of fun they suggested that I go as Daniel...complete with the shower costume. As you can imagine, that plan didn’t really pan out.
They also have a fondness for the Karate Kid soundtrack. Amanda has been known to reenact, with admirable accuracy, some of the fight sequences. It is truly a site to behold. I’m pretty sure that one day she’s going to accidentally give me a black eye.
Once they went to the Bahamas (oh, don’t feel bad for me, I was invited, but I had to work) and the FIRST thing they told me upon their return was not of the beautiful beaches but of meeting a Johnny look-a-like at a casino. They took pictures to prove it.
So when I come across something like The Karate Kid Cliff Notes, I simply have to share it. How could I not?
