So that's where the "grasshopper" thing came from. Now I know its cultural reference the next time somebody calls me by that name. 
TGIF, everyone!!

I saw all the posts and pics about David Carradine and his role in Kung Fu. I really LOVED that show. Does anyone here remember the segment in which he received the nickname "grasshopper"? Nice bit of easy trivia! |

Too late. I am here and know that he got it from almost episode one (even the pilot) from his master. It is a response to Caine's statement that there must be nothing worse in life than to be blind to where Po responds something like "not really, for I can even hear the grasshopper at your feet." Young Caine looks down and there it is...he missed it himself.
There you have it. Ok, gotta run to work. Oh yeah...for strat...HAAAA!!!
