I visited "Master" Bristol's website and came upon this little gem:

"Fantasy Island was an ingenuiously [his spelling, not mine] created series that reveals the true workings of real life. The character of Tattoo (played by the legendary Herve Villechaize) was an icon that embodies the true nature of Awakening. Though it was Mr. Roarke who was shown to possess all the magical powers to make his guests' fantasies come true, it was Tattoo, his midget sidekick, who was the true powerful being."--Eric Bristol

This came as a great reassurance to me since, for many years now, I have been modeling my own martial-arts self-development after Tattoo. I shadowbox on my knees to approximate the height of the diminutive grandmaster. As I kick and punch, I repeatedly shout the powerful ki-ai "the plane, boss, the plane!" which energizes my technique. O, Grandmaster Tattoo, why did you have to pass on into the realm of Chi and leave your followers all alone?!?

My Tattoo-style Kung-Fu, coupled with Master Bristol's technique of opening a folding knife with the buttocks, has made me invincible! I challenge you all to a death-match!

P.S.: Hey, armlok, do you mind if I borrow your Chris Reeve Sebenza to demonstrate the "kangaroo's pouch" on the next video?
