Cheers,
Mojo

They have changed that to Thursday not Wednesday. How could anybody talk about bonsai on a populist forum without mentioning the most powerful and compelling media influence in history "karate kid"
Our community is tiny. It would be even smaller without Karate Kid. In fact, I would suggest that this very community would be 20% of it's size without Karate Kid.

Woah woah WOAH! You mean the "Karate Kid" has to do with Bonsai? Here I was thinking it was about a skinny white kid, gettin' his but whooped till Miagi gave him the car wax. :lol: ;)

Hi Lindsay,
'twas said in jest, I'm actually quite fond of my telly and of the Karate Kid trilogy. We need a smilie that expresses "tongue in cheek".
But I'd like to think that those practicing bonsai pre 1984 might have contributed to more than 20% of it's current day popularity even in our little bonsai community.


Cheers,
Mojo

The first thing mentioned by the Circle was Karate Kid and bonsai. Over the years I have contributed to numerous tv segments based around Karate kid and bonsai. I realize that they are Hollywood B movies but they introduced a generation of kids to bonsai at an early age. The outcomes have clearly demonstrated that A Hollywood B movie can be more inspiring than a battalion of preening officials enforcing "the right way".
Long Live Karate Kid.
Cheers
Lindsay
