Wax On...Wax Off

Ben provides constant entertainment around here.  Becky says being around us is like living a sitcom.  This, is definitely one of those moments.

Ben was opening some of his recently purchased DVDs in the other room when I heard some strange foot shuffling coming from his direction.  I of course looked over, only to see Ben in the Karate Kid "crane" pose with a replica Karate Kid headband on.  This was naturally followed by a very skilled kicking motion that nearly ended in Ben sprawled on the floor.  At this point I could barely breathe I was laughing so hard.

When you factor in the headband he was wearing, the fact it was entirely unexpected, and it was without prompting...this was easily the funniest thing I saw this week.

Check out his sweet moves below.  This was a reenactment of the original Daniel-san fun.  I HAD to get a picture of this!

The Crane


Note the "injured" leg remaining in the air as his standing leg swings up for a kick.  Near flawless Karate Kid technique.


Mr. Miyagi would be proud Ben-san

Niiiiiiiiice! Your right, that is a better story now that I have the pictures. Randomly enough, Karate kid was on tv today. Good thing Ben had to work. We wouldn't want an injury. ;)

10 more days until I get to guest star on the Benandra Applak show! :)

That is amazing! You're so real. I never thought of Ben as a karate kid before, but he sure fits the part. I take it the head band came with the DVD not that Ben took the time to make one for himself. Well, maybe....

Just call me the Karate MAN!

I wish I had a Karate Kid flashback story, but I don't. Other than I thought Daniel was nice-looking. But Ben, of course, has him beat.

I expected a post on the new INDY movie, after all we have all been counting down when we visit the blog. Joe and I went and saw it the first day out. Ben did you wait in line at the midnight showing, since Casie was out of town?
