| Dear Evel, what are your thoughts on living with someone before marriage? |
| I think that it's an absolute positive. I think that there'd be a lot fewer divorces in this country and all over the world if people spent some time together and learned about each other and made a smart decision, instead of thinking about marriage. A lot of times, people are physically attracted to each other, and they have an affection for each other, but it doesn't last for long — sometimes a couple of weeks, sometimes a couple of months. Then children are brought into the thing. I think it's really a mistake to not live with someone before you would think about marrying them.

Evel: I played Grasshopper on the original TV series, "Kung Fu," and I've been trying to figure out a way to capitalize on this former fame without compromising my integrity as a person, or the integrity of the original character I played. In fact, it is for this very reason that I have not ever used my "Grasshopper card" for personal advantage in my life, and have gone on to have a successful small business designing and installing Home Theaters and sound systems for the past ten years. But now I want to get back to my first love — directing films — and I know that having been Grasshopper could really help me get back "in the door." How do I do this gracefully? -Radames Pera |

First of all, you should be very proud of your background and that you did play Grasshopper on the original TV series "Kung Fu." Secondly, I'd use that in any resume — or any information that I gave to anybody — as I was pursuing a position in the motion picture business. They'll realize then that you have had some first-class experience. I wouldn't be worried about "doing it gracefully." I'd just do it. I think it's a great idea. |

Please note: Tripod, like most citizens of the Spaceship Earth, is in awe of Evel Knievel, his life, and his hard-earned position in American culture. However, neither Tripod nor its parent company, Lycos, Inc., necessarily share, espouse, or agree with the viewpoints expressed by Mr. Knievel, or any other Tripod columnist. (While we're at it, and to be perfectly candid, we are also fairly certain we don't agree with most of the viewpoints expressed by our high school teachers, parents, parole officers, therapists, and career bureaucrats employed by the United Nations.)
