remember the plot? it was SAID she met a football player at UCLA - but you saw what happened - she crashed his car - wrecked his wheels. Champion or not, no man is a man in Cali without his wheels [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ------------------------- A lot of kids thought they were Karate experts after that movie....but you know what was even worse? Kids who rode skateboards that tried grabbing onto cars for a ride after "Back to the Future" came out - amazed more kids didn't die in my town. RB [/ QUOTE ] Don't forget to throw Gleaming the Cube in there as well. Slater was much cooler than Fox was. I didn't remember her meeting a man at UCLA. Well, he never catches a break, first he kills himself saving kids in a fire ("Lets do it for Johnny") and then this. Poor guy! Well, at least nobody else in The Outsiders went on to make any movies. Well, except for Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Maverick, Soul Man. I think that is it. And the director never made anything good either. So, I guess The Outsiders movie is a big jynx on careers. craig |

Thomas Howell) ended up doing a hell of a lot of direct to video stuff. Tom Cruise has had the best luck of them all - well, up until recently - he appears have been able to place a bullet in a foot or two recently careerwise - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] RB |

Born in northern California on June 28, 1932, the son of migrant fruit pickers, Morita spent most of his early years in the hospital with spinal tuberculosis. He later recovered only to be sent to a Japanese-American internment camp in Arizona during World War II.
"One day I was an invalid," he recalled in a 1989 AP interview. "The next day I was public enemy No. 1 being escorted to an internment camp by an FBI agent wearing a piece." After the war, Morita's family tried to repair their finances by operating a Sacramento restaurant. It was there that Morita first tried his comedy on patrons. Because prospects for a Japanese-American standup comic seemed poor, Morita found steady work in computers at Aerojet General. But at age 30 he entered show business full time. "Only in America could you get away with the kind of comedy I did," he commented. "If I tried it in Japan before the war, it would have been considered blasphemy, and I would have ended in leg irons. " pretty interesting early life. |

I will always remember you teaching me that, "Karate here (point at heart), not here (point at fist)." Of course, you left out "Run pssy, because you will lose this fight, no matter how tough you think you are with your tattoos."
