It just seems wrong to have had this blog going for so long without including these videos. Here is one wrong righted.
First the original television skit:
And of course the version made famous by Dr. Demento (the song follows):
"Try to see yourself as you truly are and try to adopt what is meritorious in the work of others. As a karateka you will of course often watch others practice. When you do and you see strong points in the performance of others, try to incorporate them into your own technique. At the same time, if the trainee you are watching seems to be doing less than his best ask yourself whether you too may not be failing to practice with diligence. Each of us has good qualities and bad; the wise man seeks to emulate the good he perceives in others and avoid the bad."
Funakoshi Gichin

Robert Miller, you’re a very strange man.

Ah, true words of wisdom. I think this could be the new self-help craze that America is looking for.
