OK...kind of stange to say...but I look like a Carradine
Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 06:55 PM by darkstar
I'm 52. When Kung Fu was on, I'd always get that I looked like Caine (long hair). Then, when I'd shaved my head for swimming, I heard, the younger, flashback version and even I could see it.

Then, Keith became popular in the late 70s/early 80s, and I look even a bit more like him, to my mind. And I'd hear that I looked like him or could be one of their brothers.

Then, recently, with Kill Bill and all, I stated to hear the David stuff again. Even students, i.e 18 year olds.

And today, a complete stranger at the YMCA sez "You look like that Kung Fu guy who just died."

Not much of a story, really, except that it's odd to have a doppelganger all your life and then have said double end in such a bizarre and high profile way. I wouldn't say it bothers or disturbs me. Not really sure what the word is. Just odd, I suppose.

2. Kung Fu proverbs
Bird in hand will fly away

Catch a fish and eat today

The body is a temple, a house for the soul

A clean heart turns dust into gold

Grasshopper learn how to walk on rice paper

Bend like bamboo tree and jump over skyscrapper



Actually, that's an interesting story.

4. Thanks for the proverbs.
Wondered when the "death" angle would hit home with DC's face plastered all over the news.

Love, love, love your name. One of my Mom's favorites. For real, I got my Carridine looks from her side mostly, especially the eyes.



:hi:
