Wedding in K-Town




Two hours of fish and whiskey, oh yeah and people teasing me for not getting their Taiwanese jokes. I thought someone told me it was going to be at the Howard, that is why I got a room there.

Kevlar in K-Town





Kaoishung has a pricey hotel called the Howard. Everyone is smiling "Good morning sir.. Good afternoon sir..". At 4 pm "I am here to turn down the bed, sir". Someone came at 8 am to drop off a newspaper.. they rang the door but I couldn't get up. Great breakfast buffet. They had everything.

Went to the zoo. Saw "Love River", it was rainning so I didn't bother with the ferry ride. Went to an 'Expensive' night market, had my first Turkish icecream. went to a wedding.

freudian slip

poor cats, love and marriage

R: Hey Kevlar, what's a poor cat say?

K: I don't know.

R: Mei-you, Mei-you.

K: Ha! oh, you are so funny! I got one.

R: OK.

K: I asked my wife where she wanted to go on our anniversary.

R: What'd she say?

K: She said, "Someplace I've never been!"

R: Uh-huh.

K: So I said, "How about the kitchen?"

R: Har! So how long have you been married?

K: Two years.

R: So you're already counting the years then are you?

K: That's not funny and you're a... You know what kind of ring I got?

R: Um, a wedding ring?

K: No! Suffering!

the cotton anniversary

each wedding anniversary has some kind of material attached to it. the first is the paper anniversary, the second is cotton, leather the third and so on...

suggested gift ideas for kevlar to the wife are, in order of Kayness, a cotton field, a terrycloth towel, a Kevlar Loves the Wife T-shirt, blue jeans or a box of Q-tips, bulk only...

a complete run down on anniversary materials for marriages of all longevities, well til 80 anyway...

Two Years!

happy anniversary to his Kayness and Anne, more affectionately known as The Wife

Thanks to the central weather bureau for getting this up promptly. I was watching the kid take a bath for the 6.4. Pretty scary to think you're leaving the house in under a minute and your half soaked. Well I changed clothes and prepared the kid to go out. Then I hoped another quake won't come while I'm sleeping. I never felt the 5.4. My Wife is watching the December 24, 2004 Tsunami movie on HBO. Think I'd rather watch some silly Japanese cartoons.

Toys R'Us



Is it cheating? I decided to buy "The wife " a new cellphone. She received a coupon from AmrosBank that gives her a free phone valued at 10000 nt if she signs a contract. I paid the cab fair she signed up for the phone. Is it cheating? I don't think so, I'm sure the phone bills will land on my desk. Then a 180 cab ride across town to the toy store. My kid was in heaven. Content to fill her mini-cart with legos and anything else. Not because she wanted the toys.. I think she only picked up and carted what she could lift. Anyway let loose in the pratically empty store she returned several times to this airplane. So Santa thought it a sign and put it in the cart. It whirls and twirls, lights and buzzes. However the curious little girl seems quite taken with the storage capacity of the trunk comparment. This maybe the future hiding place of Da Da's keys.

the marlin comes out at christmas time

you know it's the holiday season when kevlar busts out the christmas marlin. i just learned this today but the christmas marlin is a long standing tradition in the kevlar clan. no one knows why but the marlin is revered by antigonishers and kevlar wouldn't tell me today when i asked him. the only information i could get out of him was that all kevlars must knit one before passing to manhood and a fresh one must be eaten each christmas. if a marlin cannot be acquired, tuna fish is an acceptable substitute. abalone smothered in mayonaisse a distant third. buffet style is preferred.

what's in a name?

R: Hey Kevin, do you know what your name means?

K: Is this a joke?

R: No. Do you know?

K: No. Not really.

R: No idea?

K: OK, "Angel Saint".

R: What?

K: "Angel Saint".

R: You think your name means "Angel Saint"?

K: Well, you asked. Why? What's it mean then?

R: "Handsome". From Irish Gaelic.

K: That's it?

R: Or "Good Looking", if you prefer...

K: Figures.

Monday night wedding


The end of 2006 is forcing couples to tie the knot quick. Monday was his lucky day. Great for me cause I could make the trek to the Hua to see The Hoe and his little Miss Taipei. What a great time! Saw lots of people ate some food, drank some whisky and chased my daughter all over the restaurant.
All my pics were taken thru a high-tech blurred-whisky filter so I scanned the cards I collected.

X-Box is ill


X box won't power up. I left my game of Dragons Lair on pause to take my daughter for a stroll. I return to find the xbox and TV turned off. My daughter of one and a half thinks Dirk the daring is amusing to watch, he makes goofy sounds and jumps like a sissy. I attempt 20 times to get the power back,.. of course for the entertainment of the child and I failed. Some quick trouble shooting google research has led me to believe that I need a new fuse. Where can I take the box to get repaired? I'm affraid the store clerks will laugh at my old X-box and snicker at my foolishness in wanting to repair it.
I will take it to the place I got it chipped. Then I will try NOVA. Then I will try a TV repair shop. I would just like to know if there is a good place. ie"One stop repairing?"

No student gets left behind


Blast from the past guess who I ran into at Hoe's wedding! I am still in shock. After a mild recovery I got an ear full about Bush and the affects of the "No student gets left behind policy". Really interesting evening. Now if I can just get Elliot and Shane to cross paths.

ghosts of viator past...speff jargo

This won't mean anything to anyone other than Kevlar but,...

Go by Caves bookstore at around 2:30 this afternoon and you'll be sure to catch the unique teaching stylings of Aussie Jeff Spargo... on the agenda, 'brooming', a sport which he invented, and the 'look at my eyes while I eat food' game which is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Whatever happens he'll be letting the kids decide what they want to do. Afterwards, he'll lay some newspaper down and have a wee nap at the foot of the stairs...

I have and I want..





I have had a sony trv 340 for about 4 years. It is fine I think I got a fair amount of use out of it. It cost about 22000 nt and never had any serious problems. Christmas is coming and I want a HDR SR1. It cost 50000 and is not apple compatible. The AVCHD has 1080 lines, the trv340 had 500 (sorta). The new one takes video that looks like a mirror reflection.Awesome! I am affraid that with a few shots of tequilla I might be in line at the Sony store

the Inimitable Kevlar

In response to Red A's comment on Ni Howdy as to whether or not Kevlar is on drugs we here at TWK have to say NO, HE'S NOT. Although we've been encouraging Kevlar to become a user, he has declined time and again and we're quite aware that His Kayness has absolutely no need of them. In his mind, he's already gone. Anyone who's fortunate enough to know him, knows this.

So be like Kevlar and trip sober.

Watch this and follow the instructions.



BTW, I've got a rebellious tooth and am currently on painkillers and antibiotics. I'm considering having a glass of wine too.

Hauling rocks and green screen attempts


The rock video is fine. The rest is too screwy.

R R R is not the sound of laughter

R: Why are you so funny?

K: The only thing funny around here is your jerry curl. When are you gonna

"CUT THAT HAIR!"

R: I think it would be better if I cut all of them.

K: So you are going to go get a haircut and do it yourself at the same time.
That is dumb!

R: I want a haircut not an education.. I don't need to learn how to cut hair.

K: Why don't you pay someone to cut your hair?

R: 'Cause I want to get fired.

K: "Fired'? You wanna get drunk and burn off your hair.

R: No. People who work here and cut their own hair get fired! Everybody knows that.

K: Well you have more experience than I do, so I guess you would know.

R: Ke, Si, Won, El all cut their hair. Si even shaves in the head, during break time.

K: Guess there was a lot of hair chit chat.

With all the attention to hair going around..

Why the delay in cutting your hair.

R: I didn't want the students to think I was a BIG Gay Faggot.


K: Too late.

shopping for kevlar

what is 200 m long, 100 m high, can dig holes visible from orbit and putts along at under a km per hr?

A BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR of course...

just what kevlar needs

minutes ago....

K: hey Rye that snake video was kinda creepy..

R: yeah I think that's because it's in black and white...

K: no, no that's not it.

R: it looks more constructed?

K: no. hunh? what's that mean?

R: industrial?

K: i don't know what your talking about.

R: were you rooting for the tiger or the snake?

K: in the black and white video?

R: did you see a snake in the other one?

K: no.

R: then yes, the black and white one.

K: I don't know, snakes and tigers, they're all wild! probably the tiger..

R: so you were happy with the outcome?

K: I don't know, i didn't finish it. it was too hard to watch..

R: because of the quality or because of the lack of color?

K: because why are you posting videos of tigers fighting snakes anyway?

R: I don't know. I guess 'cause I found that tiger leaping out of the grass video again and got so turned on I thought I'd look for more tiger videos...

K: tiger fetishist!

R: fine but tigers are way cooler than pigs!

K: sexier maybe... cooler that's a tough one..

R: i can't believe you said that.

K: i said nothing .... where was that video filmed anyway?

R: India maybe...

K: why was the white guy in the tree?

R: probably so he wouldn't be eaten... tigers and snakes are dangerous you know..

K: enough then... i got class...

R: that's your opinion...

K: crank!

R: let's see how long we can only post in black and white...

K: you won't last too long...

R: how do you know that?

K: 'cause i talked to yer wife the other day and she said so that's why...

R: dick tree!

K: twat waffle!

R: i wanna see a KTV in Black and White...

K: no problem...I wanna stop talking to you making this shit up on your breaks..

R: a student told me a joke today...

K: yeah?

R: what animal makes women full of envy?

K: that's a strange question..

R: that's how he phrased it...

K: i don't know, what animal?

R: Z-Bra!

K: musta been a JR II class!

R: Jia ban! it killed!

K: let's make like a story and end!

Tiger takes on 25 foot Python

Brutal battle in black and white!

Fierce Tiger Attack: Reprise

I posted this before but it was taken down by Wildlife Films India. Someone has managed to put it up again. The video is slowed down but imagine how quickly that tiger appears from the grass to jump on top of the elephant...

Don't fuck with tigers.

Ry joke, Bo trick


Oh yeah and the three dogs..

meanwhile in Kevlar's head...

thoughts are revolving around this ancient video game not played since 1983.

Kevlar be warned that games and shows enjoyed in one's childhood will not necessarily entertain your adult self. For instance I don't think there's any porn in Dragon's Lair... I'm assuming yer Dirk the Daring...I could be wrong but I don't think Princess Daphne's gonna be givin it up any time soon... Does Anne know about Daphne?

I checked it out and found this clip on the Tube... is this swiss or cheddar?

Holy Grail meets Star Wars III1/2

I couldn't resist this, the pull was too strong. I am weak...

Rob Schneider is THE STAPLER!

the south park boys had a nice dig at Rob Schneider... and it fits in pretty well with today's STAPLE theme....

"Rob Schneider is about to find out that being a STAPLER isn't so great..."

out of control children

this is what happens when teachers aren't allowed to staple kids...

eric cartman on maury povich...

"Whatever! I don't go to school and I kill people!

Whatever! I do what I want!"


Staples

"If I don't get some quiet I'm gonna start stapling some tongues to the desks!!!

Can I do that?"


No, Kevlar you can't. Too gory. And you'd have to use those industrial sized ones.

Look what happened to this woman after she stapled some students... most of the parents are cool with it and then WHAM!



Here's an angry Korean teacher. He uses a left-right combination instead of stapling.



Here's how an Arab teacher went about it.



Kevlar is more of a tool guy I'm guessing.

Maybe a nail gun would better to attach tongues to desks. I don't know. It's early...

top ten baseball brawls ever...

at the same game

R: Oh wow another new pitcher for the Italians. this one's called DiRoma...

K: He smells good...

D: (groans)

K: Look! The Italians sure have strange names. A Vagina is batting 6th...

R: That's Av-ig-nina, Kev..

K: Oh, well he'll always be a vagina to me...

D: You two sicken me...
at the Italy-Australia game sunday night...

R: Italy changed their pitcher.

K: Oh.

R: There's a Ferrari on the scoreboard.

K: Oh yeah.

R: He's the pitcher.

Si Ping Kweer Bait

K: I was just at the park and some guy made a pass at me!

R: What?

K: I was sitting on the bench, you know one of those park benches, having a smoke when this guy comes and sits down next to me.

R: Unh-huh...

K: Well then he leaned back and put his arm around me.

R: heh-heh... go on...

K: Well I thought that was strange enough but then he put his hand on my knee and started to move it up my thigh!

R: So what did you do?

K: I stood up and said, "Bu yong la! Wo bu yao LA!

R: What did he say?

K: He just kept on smiling and said "Bu yong she me?" and motioned for me to sit back down.

R: Did you?

K: NO! I walked away got on my bike and came straight to the office. He asked, "Ni yao hui jia ma?". I said yes I was going home. What the fuck?

R: Shit dude. Maybe he was inviting you back to his place...A man can't sit in the park and have a smoke these days, eh?

K: Exactly! And this isn't the first time this has happened near here...

R: Right, right, our readers probably aren't aware of the first incident...
Why don't you fill them in?

K: Right, okay, a few months ago I was on my way to work and I stopped at the Family Mart to get some smokes. When I came out there was this guy standing there...

R: Same guy from the park?

K: No, different guy. This guy had a little poodle with him and asked me if I lived around there...

R: The Si Ping Rd. area?

K: Yeah... anyway he asks me what I'm doing and I say I'm on my way to work and he asks me if I want to go swimming with him back at his place...

R: And did you?

K: No!

R: Okay, okay, I'm only asking for the record Kev...

K: I see, I see... Well since then I've seen that guy around and he's always looking at me... in that way, you know?

R: Christ on a rickshaw Kev! You must have been wearing your SPACE PANTS!

K: Yeah maybe but what the fuck!

R: Some guy hit on me once when I was in living in Korea... same deal, hand on the knee, the stroking of the thigh...

K: What happened?

R: I balked and he bailed. Stuck me with the bill, the bastard.

K: Gawd! Korea!

R: So are you going to be avoiding Si Ping from now on?

K: I can't! I work there! I eat there! I smoke there!

R: Can I call you queer bait?

K: Fuck off!

R: You're kinda the exact opposite of Bread.

K: You're a dick!

R: Maybe the guy was laying groundwork. We've learned that groundwork is really important. He's hoping next time you'll be friendlier...

K: There won't be a next time....

R: I don't know, they say groundwork pays off...

K: YEAH, IF YOU'RE A LANDSCAPER!!!!

Nostalgia drinks

R: Hey D-Wayne, can I get a rum and coke?

D: Sure. You want a tall glass or a short glass?

R: Tall. Your coke isn't flat is it?

D: No. No. I check 'em all to make sure now.

Enter Kevlar...

K: You know what Brit Paul just told me?

R: No, what?

K: He got so drunk Friday night that he went home to the wrong apartment building.

R: That's pretty drunk.

K: Yeah. It was the one he lived in last year... hey what are you drinkin'?

R: Rum and coke.

K: MMM... I want one of those... Hey Dwayne! Can I have what he's having?

D: Sure. You want a tall glass or a short glass?

K: Tall.

R: Nice choice.

K: Well, I can't let you have all the fun... I'm a couple beers in... mmmm... that's good...

K: How much rum is in one of those?

R: A lot I think. At least half rum. I'm a little fuzzy today...

K: Yeah. I had a few and Dean bought me a beer and then I thought I'd have another so I did and then Brit Paul bought me a beer... by 9 I was just silly...

R: Some good though eh?

K: Oh yeah the nostalgia drinks you drinkin the nostalgia drinks I thought I had to have one, then more... yeah... some good...

R: I hit the hay early.

TPB behind the scenes look at the making of their movie...

Effin' Phones!


We'd like to direct everyone to the comments section of the previous post where we received a phone-in comment from Kevlar about his "gay phone". Evidently phoned in on his land line, the K-man has been dealing with damaged goods weeks upon weeks now.
Only "the wife" seems to be able to get through to him these days, much to his chagrin...

Everything reported in the comment box is absolutely true but there was also a prelude to that conversation...

CPG: Did you drop it?

K: No.

CPG: Did you wash it?

K: No!

CPG: Did you burn it?

K: No! I didn't burn it!

CPG: Do you wear around your neck, hugging your hairy, sweaty torso everyday?

K: Next question!!!

CPG: Because your fur water may infect the phone...

K: What else!

CPG: Did you fuck it?

K: What?

CPG: Did you fuck it? You know, stick your penis in it? Did you do that?

K: What!? Why?! No!!!

CPG: All I'm saying is that it looks like it's been fucked. That's all.
