Look at this link, and the picture, and read the explanation. No, the guy is not me, I had to put the link on a page because the forum doesn't like the really long URL:
http://www.geocities.com/creativebrother/sarongsong.html
I laughed. I am still laughing. Tears, yes tears, because he looks like he is in a skirt. It's a sarong, but with that shirt, and the coloring, it looks like a skirt.
But really, I have to also laugh at myself. How many times haven't I, and many of you reading this, gone too far in wearing martial-arts like clothing and grooming:
1) how many of you are wearing kung-fu pants and Chinese shoe-slippers to work or school? In DC? New York? MD? VA? Atlanta? Cali?
2) are you sporting a Segal-like pony-tail?
3) did you bald your head, not to be like Mike, but to be like a Shaolin Temple sifu?
4) are you a black man who grew a braid down the back of his head, that you then style in a Segal-like ponytail?
5) can you kick in darn near every pair of pants that you own? Ever practice kicking and stretching in public?
6) did you wear your karate-kid sweat rag on the street before it became a fad, and will you keep on sportin' it afterwards?
7) are you wearing a "Budda bless you" overly long goatee that you stroke when you are thinking?
8) do you have a dragon, tiger or other vicious fighting animal tatooed on you somewhere?
We will laugh at that guy, I know I am still laughing, but remember to also take time to laugh at yourself, or you will tend to take some things in life way too seriously.

Cecil!
You have given a certain comic a variation on his Redneck routine!
You may be a Martial Arts Junkie! Take this Simple Test -
Can you quote the Wisdom of Master Po while doing an imitation of him, right down to the weird contact lenses?
Are your slippers made in China (and you wear them to work or school everyday)?
Do you lip-synch the lines to every Bruce Lee Movie ever made? In your sleep?
Do your lips move before and after you speak and not follow the words you are saying? (for the movie fans only)
Do you open doors with a high kick, elbow strike or jing?
Do you use a nukite strike to change channels on your TV remote?
Do you kiai when picking up a bag of groceries? Even a small one?
Do you fast forward through the sex scenes in "Busty Karate Babes" to get to the fight scenes - and run them over and over and over...
Do you get hassled by the Fire Inspector on at least a monthly basis for all the candles you have burning, especially in the summer when the air conditioning is on?
Do you go through a series of knife spins and flips before cutting the Thanksgiving Turkey? Extra points if you use a katana.
Did you cut your wedding cake with a wakizashi?
Did your groomsmen tell you that your wrist was bent when you smashed the glass at your (Jewish) wedding?
Do you use a taisabaki move to pull open doors?
Do you constantly gripe about the Shaolin Monks on Kung-fu - the Series and their quoting the Tao?
Do you do a "Mystery Kung-Fu Theater 3000" party at your house on New Year's Day and make snide comments on the really, really, really bad MA flicks you got from Kung-fu Moveis By The Pound?
Do you have a dragon branded into your right arm and a dragon on the left? (or is it the other way around? The real MA junkies will know that, too!)
Do you have dreams of Michelle Yeoh, Angela Mao Ying and Kung-Fu Mamma - together? (if so, you aren't just a MA junkie, you need serious therapy!)
Did you name your kids Shorin and Uechi (I actually know someone who did)?
Do you correct your cat on IT'S style?
You get the idea.
With tongue firmly in cheek,
Lee Darrow, C.Ht.

But to show there are no hard feelings left, 25 years later, I will omit commenting about correcting a cat about "it's" (contraction of "it is") style when it should have been "its" (possessive) style.
I will not state that your grammar was bent.
Isn't that nice of me?
And yes, I did stop the elevator door today with a reverse crescent kick; do open doors with pak saos, tactical S.P.E.A.R.s, shutos, etc.; am able to kick in all my pants and do sometimes stretch in public; and can do (and have done!) Master Po shtick with you at the drop of a pebble.
