    I can only imagine how hilarious my kids (who are currently 3 and 1) will find the concept of a "pay phone booth" when they're in their teens. A smelly box on a sidewalk you close yourself off inside so you can put coins into a phone to make one phonecall. Ridiculous if you think about it :[]

    @lobstr: I am so there. I am utterly FASCINATED by the enormity of technology's evolution over the last 20 years. Seems like yesterday that I remember someone we knew who had World Wide Interweb and could look up things that started with www.......Being able to talk, record, video, snapshot, memorize, send, search etc from a tiny hand held device is mind boggling to me. And I am only 40!!!!!

    @jaxdesert: well, what really put it into perspective is how my kid expects not only specific shows to be on at any given time, but SPECIFIC EPISODES. DVRs have made the concept of what I grew up with (WAITING all week for a show to begin, and the particular episode is the luck of the draw).. and i'm only 35 :p

    @jaxdesert: Tom Baker was my (socially inexplicable) lust object when I was 13, so I get the concept of obsession.

    Also: I should have typed Who else got this reference? so as to make a subtle pun, not to sound ever-so-snooty.

    Other Kerick trivia - his mother was (is?) a murdered hooker. He wrote a book all about it to cash in and give himself major "bootstrap" cred with the republicans when he was still nursing major political ambitions. (i.e. before Bush appointment fiasco and corruption charges galore) So 9/11 wasn't the only tragedy he used to try and further his ambitions. #bernardkerik

    I know, no one cares, but...

    That's not half-bad form. Kick is waaay too high for anything but a photo-op, but whatever. People love the high kick, even though it has almost no real application. Gotta give him credit for keeping the supporting heel near the ground and tucking that elbow in nice and tight. You don't often see white dudes with good form, esp. from that era.

    Also, that's probably not Karate. Looks like TKD, and would make more sense given the geography and the height of that kick. Then again, the gi looks like the Japanese kind. #bernardkerik

    @Motoko Kusanagi: I care!

    Agreed, nice form for a show-off photo kick. But his toes not being pulled back -- driving me nuts ^_^

    I think it's definitely TKD. The gi is what would have been worn then, because the new (ugly) v-neck TKD uniforms come from the WTF (haha) to differentiate TKD from karate. It's a shame that the new uniform is associated with TKD, because I think they are basically the polo shirts of the martial arts world. And I mean that with all possible fashion disdain. (ITF still uses a nice-lookin' gi, to the best of my knowledge).

    Back in 1975, the WTF was just getting started and probably didn't have its yucky v-neck uniforms yet.

    @Motoko Kusanagi: He's kicking with the edge of his foot. That's a side kick. You're just seeing it from a weird angle. The toe curl is what you get when you're tensing your foot a lot. #bernardkerik

    @Pope John Peeps II: You impact with the blade of your heel, but if you don't curl all your toes, you'll have a rude awakening when you're kicking through anything that's not air. (Been doing TKD for about 11 years now, learned the hard way). Toe curl's good technique. #bernardkerik

    @Pope John Peeps II: Yeah, I can't say I can even get my toes to do what his are. (But curled toes are proper form, at least in TKD -- karate could be different.)

    Ironically, I can't tuck my thumb for knifehand. Please defend my photos after I'm hauled away for corruption. ^_^ #bernardkerik
