wax on, wax off

[red crayon]

just been watching the karate kid on cable. i haven't seen that movie for eons and i've been remembering how we all used to run around chanting 'wax on, wax off' and try doing the flying crane stance. i wonder whatever happened to ralph whats-his-name?

ps look what i just found in google:

Where are they now?

He (Ralph Macchio) had some follow-on success after Karate Kid as a budding bluesman in the movie Crossroads. He married wife Phyllis in 1986 and today they have 2 children. He is a writer and director, credits include the HBO series Love Thy Brother

i still hear that 'wax on, wax off'now because we bought the kids the karate kid trilogy and they loved it. My 10 year old now thinks hes a karate expert :rolleyes: and the nine year old who actually does karate just rolls his eyes at him. funnily enough though noone has offered to polish my car or paint the fence (sigh!) :D it was hilarious watching with the kids though and seeing all the daggy eighties clothes- we thought we were soooooo cool!

I think you've started your kids' education off very well, Mumof four. When they get a bit older you'll have to introduce them to Molly Ringwald and her three John Hughes films - Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink.
