Karate Kid

Do you remember the poetic moment in John Avildsen's 1984 classic film, The Karate Kid, when Daniel Laruso (Ralph Macchio) stands on one leg on a post protruding from the sand at the beach? You know, where he's practicing the coup-de-grace that he will later deliver upon the unsuspecting Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in the karate kid finals? (I love the IMDB.) Here's the image to remind you:


Okay, now imagine a ten-month-old baby standing at his Extreme Jungle Stimulation Unit (image below), holding the two cross bars with his hands while simultaneously jingling the hanging elephant jingly-doll with his right foot and you will have a mental image that is very difficult to stop chuckling over.

This kid has got skills. Look out Johnny.
