HubCap: Jared knows too much about The Karate Kid

Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 7/12/2006

Here at YourHub.com, we're all familiar with a guy named Jared Keller. Jared lives in Littleton and posts pieces about what's going on in his life, and they appear in the YourHub.com print editions as his column, "But hey ... What do I know?"

Jared's a funny guy and writes about the situations he gets into as a parent, an 80s fanatic, and getting a satellite dish installed; all places we have found ourselves and can imagine finding ourselves. He's kind of a local Dave Barry, if you will, without being completely off-the-wall nuts. Also, Dave Barry makes a lot more money with his writing.

Jared breaks down and decides to ditch the rabbit ears on his TV in this column, titled " Crossing over to the dark side." He reminisces about the summers he spent at the water park (no running!) in this one, " Chlorine and concrete." He writes about his personal war with nature in " All quiet on the backyard front."

Jared seems like a nice guy -- the kind of person you wouldn't mind joining for a round of golf, or, if you've ever had nice neighbors, he seems like he'd be just that: a pretty nice neighbor.

But, before we decide we like Jared, there's one more thing to consider: His obsession with the movie The Karate Kid. That's right. 1984. Daniel-san. Mr. Miyagi. The Cobra Kai. Wax on, wax off. Sweep the leg. The crane. You know what I'm talking about.

We all have our guilty pleasure movies, the ones we bring up in conversation this way: "You're going to think I'm weird, but I always liked Three Men and a Baby." (For the record, that is not my guilty pleasure movie.)

But Jared knows an awful lot about The Karate Kid. Is it too much? Check out his blog about Karate Kid Friday and see what you think.

Okay, you know what? It's not that weird. I have actually seen almost every Chuck Norris movie ever made, including Breaker! Breaker! I've also gone back and rented a few of them, gasp, in the past two years. My hands are not clean! Judge not, lest ye be judged!

Oh ya...I think Patrick Dempsey is HOT. Not in Can't Buy Me Love, but NOW on Grey's Anatomy...and I suppose that makes Brendan HOT, too. But you didn't hear it from me.

This is supposed to be guilty pleasures. Everybody loves a River Runs Through It and Mel Brooks.
