Cranberry Song "E" version

I had quotes for this one.

Lyrics:
Mr. Cranberry, Mr. Cranberry
Mr. Cranberry likes to drink Cranberry juice
Mr.cranberry likes to drink cranberry juice
( Why WON'T you drink a beer?)
It's hot here. It's so hot here.
( Smoking cig's and having fun!)
How did I live here for four years?

Mr. Cranberry how did you do it?
Mr. Cranberry how did you do it?

Cranberry song first version


Lyrics:
What to write?
What to right?
Up and down I search all day. Looking for the cranberry.
Here and there you tell your lines.
No no no I can't say
No no no He ain't gay
No he...
Mr. Cranberry Mr.Cranberry
Why don't you drink beer?
Oh Mr. Cranberry

its quiet here. Nobody drinks a beer
and i'm smoking all my cig's
and having so much fun
Yeah..

Water ways

Pouring rain outside. 9am knock at the door. Kevlar awake, nude and watching CNN. Puts on jeans goes to door.

Old Gwan Li Fae Woman: Chinese chinese CHINESE.

Kevlar: (Scratches belly) says hello??

OGLFW: Wants to know what Kevlar did to make her "bathroom celing rain".

K: I got a new bathtub last weak... It is raining outside and my ceiling is leaking come in and look.

OGLFW: Did you install the bathtub yourself?

K: No, a guy that does poor work did it.

OGLFW: someone has to pay for the damage to my bathroom ceiling.

K: Call my land lord

OGLFW: The whole building is leaking and people can't sleep at night. When you shower my ceiling leaks. Did you choose the person to fix the tub?

K: Ahh.. my tub is leaking because the stupid tub installer didn't attach the drain correctly.

OGLFW: Are you going to fix my bathroom?

K: Here is the landlord's number. (she looks at my topless body suspiciously).

OGLFW: Someone has to pay. What am I going to do about the leaking ceiling?

K: Here is the number, bye bye.

OGLFW: leaves grumpily.

Kevlar: ( goes to roof to clear debris from clogged drains, in the hopes it will slow the leak in his computer room)

Cause the bit fits


Hammer drill for anyone that wants it. After years of cursing at this little black Skill drill I went to B&Q. I purchased a new drill for 999 nt$. I bought some big bits and took it home to knock holes in the walls. " Like butter", no cut fingers, broken bits or profanity. Last time I looked there was nothing under 2500nt$. Now for 3000 I could get a cordless hole knocker... but 999 and a year guarntee I can't go wrong. I don't use it daily so there is no need to go pro.
I realize that my efforts to drill big holes with a small drill ruined the chuck. The new one has a bigger chuck (not keyless). It performs as it should, and the price can't be beat for a drill with all the basic features.

What?

K: I need a vacation.
R: Well you got "FIRED" so why don't you just take one.
K: I didn't get fired "exactly" My yearly contract was not renewed.. my department was downsized and my position was eliminated. I stepped on the toes of a son of a banker
R: That is such bullshit, you worked so hard.
K: I try to make classes interesting for everyone.
R: Don't work harder work smarter. Get a better schedule. Make friends with the students.
K: Some students just don't respond to honey or sour grapes... well not in a productive way. Some kids are just way too starved for attention.
R: Make them behave.
K: Barking at students who don't care, caused more problems for me. "The customer is always right".
r: why don't you apply at Dean's school?
K: I did. But the in 30 seconds of chit chat I said " my school eliminated classes, and reduced the number of teachers. so I was leaving.
R: Why would you tell that lie?
K: I didn't want to complain that my bosses are both "nutters" who have to watch their own backs and by letting me go they can cover their asses.
K: Saw Pimp and Dean at Fuber and they looked at me funny?
R: Fuber? well they are looking at you funny because you went to their school and told their supervisor you got "fired"
K: oh fuck that! that is bullshit interpetation.
R: don't you know you are supposed to recycle the old pile of bull and feed it to future employers.
K: I can teach.
R: Yeah but you think D.I.Y. projects are fun, and you say weird things.
K: I feel stressed.
R: Why don't you just go make babies?
K: Did you loose your mind?
R: No I didn't need it to teach English so I just left it, at a beautiful lake cottage in Canada.
K: ummm

hockey night in taichung or geography pt 2

last night at fubar watching the stanley cup finals, game 2, ottawa senators at anaheim ducks...

dean: why are they called the senators? are there senators in ottawa?

rye: yeah...

kev: ummm, dean, it's only the provincial capital.

bread: i think you're wrong there kev, it's the national capital!

rye: yeah, the national, kev. jesus!

kev: oh, right.

bread: what's wrong with you?

kev: i meant to say national, it just came out wrong!

dean: that's ok , kev. i know, i know, here lemme buy you another beer...

kev: no, no, this one's good, i wouldn't want it to get jealous.

rye: we have parliament and the senate in ottawa, dean.

dean: ok, then. makes sense.

rye: remember the old washington baseball team, the senators?

dean: oh, yeah.

rye: they became the rangers? maybe?

dean: they've got a new team there now.

rye: yeah, the nationals.

bread: they suck!

dean: do they? the nats?

rye: yeah, the nats. i always thought they should have been called the monuments.

dean: yeah, but when you think about sports teams' names, they're usually something that moves, you know?

rye: yeah, i guess you're right. we're the monuments! ha! ha!

dean: we stand straight and tall. we don't move! ha!

rye: hit it to me! hit it to me!

later...

none of it

bread, kev and rye eating thai food monday...

K: wow, that was a great story bread. maybe i'll go get a starbucks coffee later too. but i wanna talk about nunavut.

B: OK.

K: well, nunavut is big. and not many people...

B: yep.

K: but quebec is the biggest province, so how's that work? it's the biggest with the less people...not country, but a ....

B: territory. it's a territory, kev. it broke off from the northwest territories in '99...

K: but not many people live there. why did i think it was a province?

B: i don't know. but it's not.

R: it was given to the natives for autonomous rule. first time ever. they got all of it.

B: yeah. so canada had two territories before and now there are three...

K: wait, now... if nunavut's not a province, then what's that make the yukon?

B: a territory! jesus, kevin! 35 years old and you're trying to figure out canadian geography?

K: well, i just thought that if there were less people in such a big place, it had to be a country or a province, you know?

B: no. so, it's sparsely populated. that's got nothing to do with it. listen, the yukon and northwest territories have been canadian territories for a long time. in '99, the canadian government granted the inuit self rule in their own territory, called nunavut, which was carved from the northwest territories.

R: so the northwest territories aren't as big as they used to be. the eastern side is now called nunavut.

K: OK...

B: got it?

K: some of it. so where's yellowknife?

R: didn't your brother live up there?

K: yeah, he was a chainsaw chucker!

R: yellowknife is in the northwest territories. whitehorse is in the yukon. what's the capital of nunavut? brett?

B: umm, gimmmee a minute...

K: up-tuk-be-yuk-fuk! ha-ha-ha-ha...hehheh..

B: jesus, kevlar!

R: your back hair just can't quite cover up your red neck, can it?

K: nope!

B: iqaluit!

R: yeah! and before it was...

K: fisherman's bay!

R: nice try...frobisher bay! christ, brett's a yank and he knows more about than you do...

K: well,...shut up!

Pet pink Pig, piggy bank named Penny from Brett


The big pig went over very well with the little one. She combines her musical interests with her love of sorting things into containers. Guess I'm just saying putting coins in the pig makes it sing.

Tin foil

R: Are you prepped for your interview on wednesday?
K: You mean the one at the place I have been working for almost three years?
R: No dumbass the one at work!

R: you said "Anal - gee".
K: Will you stop thinking about ass. You are so assine.
R: oh a three syllable word. woo
K: Shut up terd smoker!
R: So what are you going to say when they ask you to improve the program.
K: I'm going to talk about food
R: What?
K: They are Taiwanese, I think they wanna ask about teaching English and listen to me talk about food.
R: How is that going to work, dicktree?
K: I am gonna say school is like a buffet. Our program is great. Immagine "English conversation class" is like eating lunch. a bowl of rice is like a book. a pen is like chopsticks. some of "die hard dick (or D.H.D. variation of A.D.D" students. like to eat rice with out chopsticks i.e. with their fingers. and some students are J.A.H ( Just ain't hungry). They had pudding in Chinese class. Cake in P.E. class. Steak in Chemistry class.
R: you are weird.
K: I'm just saying when some students get t o " English converstion class" they are just not hungry! I offer ice cream and they are just too full. They got no bowl and no spoon.
R: Have you tried offering them something to drink?
K: Now yer' pulling your brain out of your ass. You get what I'm saying.
R: Yer makin' me cranky
K: Yer' always cranky cranky. I apologize for not sanding your rocking chair, splinter buttocks guy.
R: I think in your interview you should focus more on the nips and less on the ass.
K: God your racist. You marry one American, have two Canadian children and then get creepy weepy. Didn't I tell you to squeeze with your cheeks not with your fingers!
R: I like to touch my poop.
K: And you think I am the strange one?@$!%??
R: I hope you blow your interview and get fired.
K: I hope I don't so I still get a chance to listen to your stupid cold jokes.
R: If you get fired I will see you at Fubar.
K: Oh yeah I will be a stay at home dad and spend my allowance at the bar.
R: How is diarehea hereitary?
K: Ahh.. umm your wife cooks poorly for your children.
R: Nope. It runs in your jeans.
K: who needs A/C with you around.
R: You will when you get fired for comparing A.D.D. children to bad apples.
K: I heard Tinfoil is not going back to be a "REAL teacher". She is going to work in the main office.
R: What ?
K: She is going to push play on the cassette player when there is a listening test.
R: What if it eats the tape?
K: Will you stop talking?

kevlar quote of the day

"I used sandalwood shampoo in my hair this morning. Do you think it makes my ass look big?"

jeans auction!

by the way, if you like the look of kevlar's new denim duds, he's auctioning them off to raise money for mother's day. the miaoli tradition demands the son-in-law be responsible for the mother-in-law, hence the sale of his beloved jeans to help with the cost of a generous money gift, a cake, dinner at a fancy seafood joint and varnish for her wooden leg.

bids open now!

kevlar in jeans



long rumoured but never published pics of kevlar in jeans.

he's so proud!

it's getting too hot for beards

Poker

Ok. so fast willy nilly Bbbread is coming around. Do you think a card game will break out? Perhaps we could all book some banquet room/ conference room... cause i just don't think j-hole is going to host.
