I don't normally advertise about other blogs here, but I just read through one that is entirely too hilarious not to mention.
GO TO THIS SITE AND READ THE WHOLE THING
I actually lol-ed when I read through all the archives of this blog. No matter your race, color, creed, religion, and sexual preference, you will find the satirical insight into lefty white culture informative, funny, and a little too close to home. If any of the post apply to you, laugh about it, think to yourself "that's so true", and then move on. Because if you can't laugh at yourself, then you need to get a fucking life.
ps- About 10% of the posts applied to me and about 25% of them to mrs. ktl. I made fun of her and her people till she cried.

quick update: eddie izzard in yo face!
If you have never heard Eddie Izzard, he is a british transvestite stand-up comedian. One of the funniest and smartest comics out there. But recently, he's been trying his hand at acting (the riches, ocean's 12 and 13, etc..), so he's been off the circuit for about 6 years. well, now he's back and doing shows here in nyc. and i got some tickets! orchestra level, middle section, middle of the row. i'm super psyched!
this almost didn't happen bc i heard about it 3rd hand, and he had already started his run of gigs. AND someone, who i thought was a friend(cb), (and who knew i was a GIANT izzard fan) held out on the knowledge for a week that eddie was performing, before he told me. luckily for him, i got some sweet tickets, but now i know where i stand in our friendship. i've heard that revenge is a dish best served cold, and i'll have my revenge. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of my life.
but for now, ill be content with some eddie izzard on march 5th!

chocolate dong!
So here's part of what I did over my Christmas vacation:
The White Dianna Party was a complete success.
But KTL what is a White Dianna Party?
Well, its like a white elephant gift exchange, where gifts are opened one-at-a-time, and subsequently stolen. Our festive take on the event was Max Anger and my idea. But don't take my word for it, here was the invite Max sent out:
Velkomen! You are invited to the 2nd annual White Dianna Christmas Party!
One year ago, succubus ex-girlfriend Dianna requested I host a Christmas/her birthday party at my house, with a White Elephant theme. All sounded like fun, until the Succubus demanded that only her friends could attend! The demands went ignored, and in spectacular fashion, the right people (you!) were invited instead and the party was saved from the maladjusted social mongoloids that were her friends. So, we're doing it again, but this time, there will be no Dianna, only her evil spirit haunting our party like any appropriate Christmas ghost would.
A White Dianna Party is a White Elephant party meaning you need to bring a cheap, wrapped gift, and then we put the gifts in the center of the room. We draw straws to see what order the mystery gifts are chosen, and a gift can either be chosen from the pot or you can take someone else's opened gift whenever it strikes your fancy! But each gift can only be traded twice, and thus the question becomes, "Will you end up with awesome foam swords like I did last year, or with the pointless decorated box that David won last year but was left at my place in disgust?" Come and find out!
and here was the email flyer Max made to accompany the party:
So the presents I like to bring to these kinds of Christmas parties, are ones that get a big laugh but no one would want to trade for them. So that the person who chose my gift is stuck with it for the entire game. Last year I made 2 foam swords (a long sword and a short sword, so that you could floretine), and this year I purchased a 6.5" black dildo. Yes, I'd say my gift was awesome to quite awesome. And I thought that I had succeeded in buying that perfect "big laugh-no trade" gift, because it was picked right off the bat and lasted till near the end of the night, when all of a sudden it got traded 3 times real quickly. I think everyone secretly wanted it, but were too afraid to steal. Anyway, "chocolate dong" was the phrase of the night and for the next few days.
Other gifts that were popular:
a pair padded nunchucks
modded nerf gun
optimus prime mr. potato head
lite-brite
stay tuned for more stories and pics....including Danb's freedom party and my surprise bday party.

2 posts in a week?! ktl have you gone mad!?
indeed, i have. i have just been seeing alot of movies lately, and it's exciting. so we trekked out again and saw the midnight show of cloverfield. while the movie was entertaining to a point, it was still disappointing. i was really expecting more from jj abrams. there were great spots of humor, some very good action sequences and some very bad ones, the plot simple, and the suspense was spotty and cheap. something that i really didn't like about the movie is that half the movie was shot at a 45 degree tilt. now, i know jj was probably going for a more realistic look, but we KNOW its a handheld! you don't have to beat us over the head with it for an hour and a half. at least hold the camera straight up and jostle it around.
anyway, it was entertaining, and it was probably my own fault for hyping it up too much in my mind. so i give it 2.5/5 stars. i won't ever own this movie, but if it's ever on tv, i might not change the channel if i'm eating dinner.
on a more fun note. i am hosting another dodgeball event this weekend. hopefully mrs. ktl will get some good action shots of me hitting max anger, danb, activated charcoal, and a bunch of other folks right in the eye.
ps- name all the states that border the great lakes.
pps- i am a terrible drummer on rock band

thanksgiving
so thanksgiving was like a month ago, but thats okay. this was my first year not spending the holiday with my own family. we usually head off to my uncle's place, who serves up a table full of turkey, ham, steak, lamb, lobster, crab, stuffing, and other accoutrement. cause there is nothing like thanksgiving lobster. he is also the guy who has nothing but corona and blue label for the over 21 crowd, so, of course, i get hammered on blue label.
this year mrs. ktl and i passed on the hassle of flying and driving and family drama, and stayed in nyc for our first thanksgiving away from home. so we decided to have another family dinner without the drunken korean karaoke, but instead replaced one family for another. the people included max anger, mr. and mrs. tadpolebear, myself and mrs ktl, luke, and manhattan wes. and here we all are around our bountiful harvest:
please note that max is eating out of a trough. he only managed one plate, but it was a plate the size of the dinner table. we were later joined by activated charcoal and a friend of mrs. tadpolebear.
we ate, we played video games, we ate, we slept, we ate some more. max decided to make approximately 2 pies per person. mrs. ktl outdid herself and made the beautiful turkey and plenty of other thanksgiving day delights. and everyone chipped in and made it a wonderful first thanksgiving away from home.
