2. name matt damon's 4 highest grossing movies (US box office)

3. a woman has 7 children and half of them are boys, how is this possible?

love is like a dying ember, and only memories remain

so you thought i had left never to return to this sphere of blogo. i actually thought about calling it quits on the blog, but i thought about all those people who might leap into a pit of vipers or plunge a knife into their significant-other's spine from the shock of no more trivia. and i decided i should press on, not for my sake, but for yours.

i actually have about 5 or 6 blog entries just sitting in my folder......just sitting there. unfinished. for all eternity. here are the topics:

1. pre-wedding shenanigans
2. wedding shenanigans
3. post-wedding shenanigans
4. street fair shenanigans
5. dodgeball shenanigans
6. up-coming-trivia-i-will-be-hosting shenanigans

and i have a few in my head that i want to post about, as well.
and so i would look at all my unfinished posts, think about how much i didnt want to write them, scoff, then go to bed. but ive finally mustarded up the courage and will post about something that resembles anything.......baby fish mouth.

(if you laughed at that last line, i commend you and your vast knowledge of things very important.)

im also kinda disappointed no one got the song title or artist, that would be one sam cooke, twisting the night away. i hope you people do better with this song lyric challenge.

pre-wedding shenanigans:
im only going to tell this one story cause it was one of the most frightening experiences of my life, and im already tired of typing. here goes:

mrs. ktl had flown back to atlanta for her own pre-wedding stuffs, while i had to stay up here in nyc for work. i got a late start on saturday cause tadpolebear needed me to take his golf clubs to atlanta and we had to have a little lunch as well. so i headed out at about 3 pm, which puts me into atlanta at around 5 am if i drove non-stop. i debated whether or not to keep on, keepin on, or stop and rest somewhere in the carolinas. i decided on the holiday in express near charlotte.

now i had intended on stoppin in charlotte but i was engrossed on some program in my xm radio and missed the whole damn city. so i drove about 20 miles south and found holiday inn express. i pulled in at about 2 am, hungary and tired. i asked the hotel guy if he knew of any all-night pizza places or a waffle house near-by. he said that there was a waffle house about 1 mile down the road. excellent, i miss waffle house being up north of the mason-dixon.

i should have realized what i was getting myself into as i pulled into the parking lot. 4-5 beat-up patched-up pick-up trucks, and one 80's black camero.....2am......20 miles outside of charlotte (east bumblefuck). but i have always had pleasant experiences in waffle house, save a few times when there was no coke available. i walked in and immediately thought about turning around and leaving. 5 tables of all whites folks. 2 of the tables filled with camo-clad teenagers back from a night of drinking and cross-burning. 2 tables of big ole country boys also in camo. and 1 table with a couple, the guy had on a wife-beater. also, every....single.....guy.....a shaved head.

now i know what you're thinking. "klt, we white people arent all bad."
i know this. hell, all of my groomsmen were white. i love you crazy crackers.
i went to uga, ive been around country boys. but these were a different breed altogether. at uga, they were at least smart enough to get into college. these guys were backwoods. and backswoods boys dont take well to city folk and especially don't take well to asian ones.

its hard to describe what it feels like to disriminated against. most of yall probably are hopelessly stuck in the majority, and most of the time i feel white. but this particular night i never felt more asian.

after i walked in, i sat at the counter, just wanting to order some take-out, then haul ass back to the hotel. i sat and waited.....and waited......and waited. after 5 minutes of NO ONE talking to me. i said to myself, i'll wait 10 more minutes then ill leave. so i waited and waited. this entire time i was glancing around the restaurant. and that couple that was sitting in the corner. the guy was GLARING at me. it was super creepy. i must have looked in his direction 5-6 times, and every time he was turned toward me just.....glaring. with his shaved head, goatee, stained wife-beater. jean shorts, tatoos running up and down his arms. this dood was scary.

after 14 minutes of waiting, i was almost ready to leave when one of the older server asked a younger girl server "you have someone at the bar, have you taken his order?" now, this girl had been standing in front of me the the entire time. at first she had been doing the dishes, then she rang someone out on the registar, then she had just stood in front of me staring off into space. this whole time, i had been patiently waiting 14 minutes for someone to help me. infuriating. so after she reluctantly took my order, i had to endure another 10 minutes of That Guy glaring at me. im not scared of most people, i may not look like much, but i could hold my own ( i have deceptive slowness (im also a ticking time bomb of nails and teeth and kungfu)). but this guy scared the bejeesus outta me.

FINALLY, my food was done. i paid. then power walked back to my car. silently praying "dear lord, please make me a bird, so i can fly far far away. dear lord, please make me a bird, so i can fly far far away" got in my car and hauled ass back to the hotel.

after i got back, i went back to the hotel guy and informed him that if anyone should come looking for a place to eat at 2 am, and they look like me, dont send them to waffle house.

he said "what do you mean 'look like you?'" and i honestly think he didnt understand.
so i said "ya know....not white"
and i told him my sordid tale. he said he was sorry and that he never had that kind of experience at that waffle house. and i had to explain to him the difference in skin tone between him and me.

so that is my tale of pre-wedding shenanigans.

trivia:

1. in afi's list of top 100 greatest movies, what is the highest ranked movie out of the 90's?

2. "cure for insomnia" is the longest movie ever made, to the closest hour, how long is it?

3. what was the first movie by pixar to have a rating higer than g?

4. what are the 3 largest lakes in the world?

ps - check back soon for the real post

Monday, July 10, 2006

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing

1. public house
2. a partidge in a pear tree, 2 turtle doves, 3 french hens, 4 calling birds, 6 geese a-laying, 7 swans a-swimming
3. usa, england, china, russia, france
4. eyes wide shut
5. farfalle - and im gonna have to give credit to davide and atl-kt, i really didnt think anyone would know this. bravo. bravo.

so it's almost been a months since my last post. man, im lazy . it's the summer i tell you. so i have many stories of boozed filled nights, girls that taste like ashtrays, and trips to mexico to see a woman and a horse. but those are for another lifetime. what i will dazzle yall with right now is my new slang words i've picked up from my co-workers. i've befriended a young teenager from the bronx and have been introduced to his small circle of friends at work. now, this guy is smart and funny, but when he's around his friends his language shifts to include words that are in his vernacular, but not my own. i'm pretty sure he doesnt use these words around me cause he doesnt want to confuse me, and i appreciate that. so after a while i've started to pick up on the meaning of some of these new words, and i present them to you, to expand your knowledge base, to better communicate with urban youths. and to impress any teenagers around (well, the cool ones anyway)

now, you un-hip folks out there might think that the word "tight" in "ghetto" slang means awesome, like "dat superman movie was tight, yo." but it, in fact, does not mean awesome. it means anxious/fustrated/nervous/tense/some-word-in-between-the-rest-of-these. such as "i was out wid mah girl, and my ex shows up and got me all tight and shit". this word took me the longest to figure out because it was thrown around so loosely, but i think this was as close to a definition as i could get.

now other words were easier to understand from context clues and common sense, like dolo. "dolo" pronounced doe-low. meaning, without girlfriend/boyfriend. "so, baby, are you dolo or what?" also the word "slay", which means to reject (as in a social or intimate situation). "after dat nigga bought her 3 drink, she slayed him and took off with his homie"

now your assignment is to teach these words to your friends, so they too can be as cool as you. but remember, with great power, comes great responsibility. only teach the "right" people these words or these sayings will go to the land of "the totally unhip". where words like "bling" and "fo shizzle" have gone.

okay time for everyones favorite triva!

1. name the last 5 states to join the usa.

went to trivia at pete's candy store with davide and LiL. much harder than expected, and went to dumont for a delicious burger and mac and cheese, but the thing i liked the most were these appetizer ribs they had..mmmmmmmm. we decided to go back sometime and just order ribs and the enourmous plate of mac and cheese to split among us. oh and last weekend we went to some crazy japanese tapas thing. where everything is covered in fish flakes. and since LiL dislikes seafood, it was right up her alley. and on the menu they had an octopus rape scene....interesting those japanese.

Wednesday, May 31, 2006

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in memphis

1. nhl
2. moby dick
3. shangri-la
4. playboy
5. boris yeltsin
6. smith, johnson, jones, brown

song: what has 9 arms and sucks? def leopard! and the title of the song pour some sugar on me. also nice call on moby dick, kwh. didnt think anyone would get that, but it seems that those who come to this site read good books. and that is why no one got moby dick except on a guess. that book might be the worst classic ever, second only to war and peace.

so not much new in life. had some delicious margaritas with davide and LiL today. we're a family, only without a mom and dad, and only a little of the bad-touch. but i did manage to finally wrangle a job. its only temp work, but its still work, and im glad to be off mah ass. it has something to do with handling the actual birth certificates for everyone who has ever been born in new york. and some of the rules include: no cell phones, no bulky coats, no bags or purses, and we have to avert our eyes whenever we handle the certificates. so enough about me...onto the trivia!

1. what team called ebbets field their home till their last game there in 1957?

2. based on a 2004 government survey, what are the 5 most populace cities in the US?

3. how many votes from the electoral college does a candidate need to become US president?

4. what band's cd did spin magazine name the best album in the last 20 years?

5. what are the last four words of the orwell's classic 1984?

Thursday, May 25, 2006

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on

1. jacob
2. ethan
3. daniel
4. anthony
5. joseph

6. los angeles
7. costa rica
8. cosmo
9. kentucky
10. norma jean baker

and the song was the who - baba o'reily, nice call mary

so i hope everyone had a fun filled memorial day weekend. i spent the first half of the weekend cellphone-less because i gave it to LiL to use while she was in the a-t-l. so i'll send a lil "sorry :(" to davide and the capn for not returning their calls. but while LiL was away, there was copious amounts of boozin and profuse amounts of whorin. and at the end of it all, a fun picnic.

today me, LiL, and davide had a enchanting and wild trip to a dream world of magic.....staten island. he got measured for his tux and i got the low-down on my so-called "free" roundtrip tickets. now the tickets are in fact free. BUT they are only free if you stay in a hotel of their selection, and you must stay there for a minimum of 1 week. still, the price of the hotel is not terrible, and it does include a all-inclusive package to cancun, where i can become the next american to "dissappear". now onto the dreamworld of magic part. Davide was uneasy in staten island, as it did give off a weird sort of "waking up from a dream into another dream then waking up again" kind of feeling. also the look of the whole place was off. nyc and it's burroughs have a certain city feel, but not this burrough. no sir. LiL pointed out that it had a "ghetto-side of the beach" look to it all. which was a perfect description. so i have declared staten island no longer a burrough, and under davide's suggestion, have declared connecticut the fifth burrough.

so now for the trivia.

1. what was the first sport to cancel an entire season due to a dispute over salaries?

2. starbuck's coffee was named after a character in what book?

3. james hilton's novel "lost horizon" is set in what utopian community?

4. what magazine did shel silverstein write for before penning the children's novel "light in the attic"?

5. what russian leader was the first to be elected democratically?

6. according to a US census, what are the 4 most popular last names in the US?

ps- i might start posting more often, so you might want to check back in with a little more regularity. cause you might miss out on some trivia, and only dirty commies miss out on trivia.

pps- LiL, davide, and i saw colin ferrall in williamsburg when we were dropping davide off. later colin and i made a "home movie" and it will be available on the web in the next few days....enjoy.

Friday, May 19, 2006

The exodus is here, the happy ones are near, let's get together before we get much older.

the names of the ladies:
Emily, Emma, Madison, Abigail, Olivia, Isabella, Hannah, Samantha, Ava and Ashley.
and the song is bonnie tyler - holding out for a hero.

im glad yall have settled thing so amicibly. guns, tea and biscuits, ain't nothing more friendly than that.

so i've started tivo-ing cash cab, and they got some pretty good trivia questions. if you don't know what the show is. it's a game show thats filmed in a nyc cab and you answer trivia questions for money. you only get 3 strikes, then you get kicked to the curb (like all my ex-girlfriends). but if you can make it to your destination without missing 3 questions then you get a choice of taking your money and running, or doubling down and answering one video question. its a pretty cool show. i highly recommend it. so on last nights episode, this retarded midtown woman gets in and misses 3 of 5 questions. she missed "what instrument invented in the 1880s in hawaii is a smaller version of a guitar", AND she didn't know "what ron howard movie is also the name of the encasing that silkworms spin around themselves during metamorphosis". i honestly can't stand people this dumb. but i guess its more of a failure of our public school system.

so LiL is gone this weekend for hot-lanta, leaving me home alone for boozin and whorin. yay! so good tidings to her and a safe journey. now for the trivia!

now ill give you 5 of the top ten boys names, yall guess the other 5:
(and i'll even throw in the first letter of each name)

michael, joshua, matthew, christopher, andrew...
1. j...
2. e...
3. d...
4. a...
5. j...

6. what is the largest city in the US without an NFL team?

7. with no army, what eco-tourist country is the switzerland of south america?

8. for 32 years helen gurley brown was the editor for what fashion magazine?

9. what US state was lincoln born in?

10. before changing her name in 1936 what was marilyn monroe known as?

ps- remember everyone, just use your immense store of worthless facts. no internet searches, it is after all, merely blog trivia. good luck, have fun!

pps- ill give some props to whoever can get this weeks song

Saturday, May 13, 2006

3. war of the worlds
4. the incredibles
5. lord of the rings: return of the king
6. chicago
7. pearl harbor

so ive thought about how i'll award points for the trivia. the person who answers first, gets the luxury of getting the most answers unfetter from seeing other answers, but answers after the first post will have more value and correcting wrong answers will have points too. i think this gives a fair shake for everyone, no matter when i post. if yall have any better ideas, please, post up.

6. american werewolf in london (1981)
7. the thing (1982)
8. night of the living dead (1968)
9. the texas chainsaw massacre (1974)
10. jaws (1975)

these are the years that the rest of the movies came out. good luck.
11. (1960)
12. (1973)
13. (1978)
14. (1980)
15. (1982)
16. (1982)
17. (1984)

Your purple prose just gives you away

the age: 27

the song: the cure - close to me

so it's been a while since i last posted. not my fault. space aliens with long pointy heads and teeth stole my computer chair, then made off with my horse. it's a very long and confusing story. but i should be updating more often. news from the home front. weddings would go much smoother if parents were not involved at all. case in point, orginally my mother had said 50 of her friends were coming to the wedding of 400. so i re-asked to confirm the number, and she broke out with 200 crazy, possibly drunk, definitely judgemental, koreans will be attending. that is half the people at the reception. anyway, im relaxing this weekend with some corona for cinco de mayo (the mexican holiday to commerate mayonaise) and a trip to atlantic city, where i will promptly become a millionaire. and now for the trivia:

movie tag lines! these are like descriptors of movies that the movie company's come up with. i'll give the year the movie came out and the tag line, and yall guess the movie.

1. 2005 - "Ton On The Run"
2. 2004 - "They should have left him alone"
3. 2003 - "Wet Yourself!"
4. 2002 - "It's Not Like They Didn't Warn Us."
5. 2001 - "They're Having So Much Fun It's Illegal."

ps- dont forget the song...its easy.

pps- if you dont watch "the office" start immediately. i have already started stalking jenna fischer. and dont come at me all snotty and say the british version is better. they are both good, oooo FACE!

well, ive been puttin this post off fer a while cause im lazy and such. the week off was great got to see lots of friends and family. but i want to start off with my adventure of gettin to the atl.

first off, LiL LIED to me about when our flight was taking off. she had told me 5 pm, but it was really 6 pm. sneakiness, i gotta start watching her more closely. so our plan was to take the chinatown bus to philly and fly outta there (mush cheaper that way). but she has to drop off something at the bank, so i go on ahead with our luggage up 4 flights of stairs to the train. after i passed out when i reached the top, i regained consciousness and awoke to a homeless woman SCREAMING "just suck my pussy in the morning, baby" (to the tune of "angel of the morning"). so i then had that lovely tune stuck in my head for the rest of the afternoon. we reached chinatown and we were on our way. except that about 20 minutes into our ride the bus pulls off to the side of the road and the driver comes sauntering to the back of the bus. hmmmm, i thought. i wonder who's gonna drive us? the bus broke down, and we had to wait for the next one to pick us up. but since LiL had lied to me and made us leave ungodly early, we had plenty of time to catch our flight. the rest of the trip was uneventful.

so i always wondered why planning a wedding was stressful. i found out.....the parents. so the dilemma her parents want the wedding not in atlanta, my parents only want it in the atl. bastards. we spent a few days pondering this quandary till LiL came up with the best solution. the wedding and reception will be in different spots, BUT the important thing is that alcohol will be served in voluminous quantities at both.

so here's what yall have all been waiting fer....more trivia!

1. lipstick is made out of mostly what?

2. what are the names of the ghosts in the original pacman?
bonus: how many white dots are there in a pac-man round/screen?

3. what islands where named after a prince of spain?

"thank you for playing, should we or should we not follow the advice of the galacticly stupid"

and they aint leavin till 6 in the morn.

sorry for not posting in a while just been busy. not really. good news tho, signed up with a temping agency, so i should be gettin steady work soon. and when i said 8-12 inches of snow, what i meant was 8-12 feet....well more like 2 feet but that's still a lot. so here's my story:

heidi hensley comes into the big apple for a concert. she is supposed to be on stage at 1 am. Live in Lady and i get there at around midnight. at this time, the snow has started to fall, only about 4-5 inches but the wind is the terrible part prolly 20 mph. sucky. so we catch the show. awesomeness. there was another two people that shared the stage with her....athens boys choir and levi kreis. abc was a transgender spoken word dood...really good, funny, and had one poem about waffle house, which makes him alright in my book. levi kreis was amazing. he was like a younger, better harry connick jr. found out that a bunch of labels want to sign him, but they all want him to pretend he's straight and he wouldnt. damn the man! so the show ends around 2. we start home.....this is where the advenure begins.

all live in lady and i have to do is get on the f train, transfer to the r, then boom. we're home. minimal time outside (maybe 2 blocks). so we barely miss one f train, sucky but we can deal. after a while another comes by, we get on and it moves exceedingly slow. but i figured since it was snowing so hard, maybe that's why. safety reasons. at one point we have stopped on the tracks for 30 MINTUES. and to make things worse there's this douchebag on the train that keeps complaining out loud, like his whining and bitching is gonna make the train move. damn i hate people like him. child. anyway, we're supposed to transfer to the f train at 4th ave and 9th st. we get to the stop, we stand at the door, then the train leaves the station. the fucking guy NEVER OPENED THE DOORS! on top of all this, my and lil's bladders are on the verge of exploding (cause i have the bladder of an infant).

so we decided that we would get off at the next stop and trek it back home. we are now at 7th ave and 9th st that's about a mile home. in the snow. in the wind. bladders full. we're on our way. it's now 4 am and we spot an oasis in the artic bleakness....daisy's diner. a 24 hour diner and a haven for wayward travelers. breakfast time. great food, great service, warm, and most important with bathroom.

it was 6 am. once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. but now the wind had picked up. i had heard on the news that it would be about 25-30 mph winds with gusts up to 50. i laughed cause that would be absurd. so when we got outside and felt the wind...i thought "this wind is absurd." we had a long way to get back home. but with full bellies, empty bladders, and renewed vigor. we trugded on.

home. finally. home. we stripped off the cold wetness and exchanged it for the warm awesomeness of the bed. ahhhhh. good times. welcome home, dear friends.

Saturday, February 11, 2006

i got bitches in the livin room gettin it on!

Friday, February 10, 2006

the answer IS:

so i've started dieting again cause ive grown too fat for my own good. i would excersize but where's the fun in that. id like to think that society and medicine has come far enough for me to just sit on my ass and lose weight. my diet is call "the all butter diet". where everything i eat will be coated in butter; thereby, letting the food "slide" out of me without it being digested by my body. i think it'll work.

SO, more trivia.

you coming to the cookout? what cookout? my nuts on yo grill !!!

answer to previous trivia:

lord of the rings: return of the king
finding nemo

and highest fall survived without a parachute......33,330 ft roughly 6.3 miles. that'll leave a mark.

next we have an all female answer:

what two people have the most academy award nominations?

poker in the front, liquer in the back.....wait

i attend a weekly poker game at a friends apt in midtown. it used to be at max's, but now it's permanently moved to "new place". it used to be a fun evening of smoking, drinking, and playing some cards with 6 or 7 friends. it has now become a cesspool of russians jews, loose women, and loose russian jewish women. i have nothing against any of those kinds of people, but when they turn my poker game into a screaming-at-a-drunk-duchebag-for-4-hours and watching-pyscho-throw-her-beefcurtains-at-anything-with-a-penis night. my patience comes to an end.

on a brighter note, Live in Lady and i went to the brooklyn chinatown for some festive decorations for her class about chinese new years. i got to eat some mayalsian food....delicious. AND ride the bus for the first time. i'm all grows-ed up now. ya know, i thought it would take me a while to get used to ny and all the things that comes with living here. but i really like it....maybe i'll stay for a bit. as long as there are no more loose russian jewish women.

Wednesday, January 25, 2006

but i did not shoot the trivia

okay that last one was really hard....i shot the sherriff.
tears in heaven only went to #2 and i would like to add that Live In Lady gave me those two pieces of trivia to use. so a big thanks to her.

i love those fucking retards

so for the past few weeks ive been teaching home-schooled kids, sub-ing, and training to be a kaplan test prep teacher. i feel like this is probably something i could do as a career. so what im thinking about is starting up a tutoring or home-school business. this is still very early stages, and who knows if i'll ever act on it. but give it some thought. it sounds nice in my brain.....that or fireman. im not sure which.

1. tommy boy:
"i was just checking the endline spec on the rotary girder....im retarded."

2. friday:
"oh, you aint catchin no crackhead."

"puff, puff, give. puff, puff, give. you fuckin up the rotation."

"-older the berry, the sweeter the juice.

"what are you going to do...bleed on me?"

"thats the worst fucking sweater ive ever seen. its a cosby sweater...a cosby sweater!"

"no thanks man, don't want you fuckin up my life"

6. swingers
"look at you.....you want to kiss me"
"who's the big winner in the casino tonight? who's the big winner in the casino tonight? it's mikey!"

7. 40 year old virgin
"sweet, that means you dont have chylamydia, and i know that. And that shit is everywhere."

8. princess bride
"that doesn't leave much time for dilly dally"

9. happy gilmore
"-you're in big trouble though pal, i eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast

"eh haha aha. hes laughing. he's having a good time. good for you, yeah laugh it up. enjoy your night. eha ha hahaha!"

10. the 1st 20 minutes of so i married an axe murderer
"oh i hated the colonel with his wee beedy eyes, and that smug look on his face. ooohh you're gonna buy my chicken ooooohohohooooh" "

9. pulp fiction

trivia

what are the 3 highest grossing films of the 90's?

and no cheating cause cheating at blog trivia is about as doucebaggy as it gets.

the ramblings of an old man

so ive been trying to think about what to write down in my blog. funny stories about my cat, the wild adventures i have in my bathroom, or how i followed a thin trail of smoke only to find something unexpected. but none of that stuff ever really happened (except for that last one happened to some freinds of mine). i feel like my blog must be witty and informative, but i am neither witty nor informative. therefore my blog will be about life and love in the new millenium. right now, though, it will be about me gettin too close to 30. lets take a look back into other benchmark years. 15 brought the permit, 16 the camero, and 16.1 the end of the camero. 18 voting, smoking, and college. 21 finally i could drink (but just a coupla shots). and 25 car insurance went down. what now? what does 28 have in store for me? nothing good. i only found out recently that i am no longer eligible for any mtv shows. i can no longer go to the mtv summer beach house. my hopes and dreams....dashed. and i really thought i could have brought an edgey-ness to the "real world", with my rapiers wit and dashing good looks. c'est la vie.

now is the time for new hopes. new dreams. and a burger. for those of you that dont know. ive given up read meat for a year. the reason is that the finace's stomach is a lil too sensitive to the delicious bloodiness. so ive taken a sabbatical of sorts. BUT since today was my birthday, i got to indulge with a canyon burger. mmmmm cow. lover-ly. so i think i will try to post a daily trivia question at about the same time everyday and the first person with the right answer will win my kudos. the chocolate and peanut butter one. it's half eaten. and stale.
