Nobody bothers me, either!

[Carol]

I'm in the Baltimore-Washington area for a short time working on a project. A lady that I'm working with in my lab mentioned breaking one of her toes at a martial arts test. I chuckled and said I think that's how I broke mine, the time I did it, except I wasn't testing at the time.

I asked how she did on the test, she said fine, and giggled "Nobody bothers me."

I said "Nobody bothers me, either" and gave her a wink.

We the busted out laughing, and started singing Jhoon Rhee's jingle. Good times, good times.

I have Nils Lofgren's "No Mercy" on my iPod. (Same singer as the Jhoon Rhee jingle.) I think of this ad every time the song comes on my iPod.

Someone recently turned me on to this tune, also by Lofgren. I have never seen the TV show, but I dug the song as soon as I heard it

I grew up in Baltimore, so I still remember those commercials from 35 years ago.

Here's a nice article about the commercial: The surprising rock source behind D.C. s Nobody bothers me TV jingle - The Washington Post

Dammit. Now I've got that jingle stuck in my head.

Here you go Tony, my son and I made this music video a while back. Maybe this will help.

Cheater. I could do 100 pushups too if I only went down that far.

Still, pretty good for his 80th birthday.

Thanks for posting. Can I hear inspiration.

I personally like Mel Farr Superstar's ad for the self defense method of flying away. Because "they can't fly either!"
