Of Clowns and Balloons, Tuak and Buffoons...
posted by The ComeBackKings at 06:00
Not much is known about our latest member, King Jon, so here is a brief introduction. Jon has been working as a professional clown for many years now. He does balloon sculpting, juggling, stilt-walking, sword swallowing and fire-eating! He brings all these physical comedy elements to the group thus creating a wealth of diverse talent.






Did i mention he's into S&M balloon sculpting?





King Jon teaching King Matt the art of sword swallowing
(not to be confused with any other swallowing)

















But here is a very important fact that sets him apart from the rest of us...


King Jon is actually THE most hard working member in the group!
Besides running a family business and clowning and performing with us, his full time job is; a qualified Medication Quality Control Officer under the Sleeping Disorder Department (SDD)!! His job is to test sleeping medicine so that it will be safe for millions around the world to consume! Truly a noble deed, befit for a King! Below you will see prove of his sacrifice for man/womankind! (he brings his work where ever he goes! his duty never stops!)









How does he do it? We'll never know! Till then, let there be no sleepless nights for rest assured, King Jon is on the job!

Of Friends and Foes, Brothers and Hoe's...

Dearest

CBK,

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for a raise thank you guys for an awesome surprise birthday party! I think the best surprises are usually unplanned...just like my birth. In the spirit of being mushy and the constant demand for juicy soap-opera-like stories from our readers, I would also like to thank you for being my friends, brothers, fellow performers, car-poolers, money lenders/borrowers, alcoholics, perverts, footballers, pricks, Spartans, and so on!

It has been an honor to share the limelight/parcan/follow-spot/moving heads/Jiggee's cheap ass "lights" but however it would be nice to have personal changing rooms...

Turning 23 has made me realise i need to start acting my age how blessed I am to have wonderful people around me and this has made me cherish our friendship even more...

*pause for "Awww.."

So here's a toast to better things, less crappy shows, Asia Cafe meetings, William's Meatballs, late-night-attempts to practice, Niggy getting a bigger car, and more money.

Not forgetting Jesters Inc., Mass Effect Positive Calamity, Karla Spice, Jon's outstation roadshows, Chi Ho's expanding waistline and MJ's rims... I wish you all the best in your individual interests and careers for I know at the end of the day, we are still the CBKay!

And to Rishaad if you find it in your busy schedule to stumble upon this blog, you are still part of this family and will forever have a spot on stage (wages might vary).

And to Jon, a big welcome into the family and most importantly, always always always remember to place your hands on your hips for the linedance!

Not forgeting our ComeBack Queens, thank you for your patience, time, sweat and constant loving. You girls will be happy to know that part of the CBK fund will go into your future therapy sessions for we understand its not easy being our better halfs.

Since I'm in a thanking mood might as well thank Samy V for constantly supporting us by inspiring a lot of our materials.

Wow didn't expect to write so much, this is longer than Jac Victor's speech at Ikon! Oh congrats to her and OAG too! Support your local artists! (we might be them one day)

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed crapping writing it.

Lotsa love,hugs and brotherly-macho-masculine kisses,
Matthew Ho

p.s. - Special thanks to Armitage Shanks for giving me some of the best times in my life.

p.p.s - This is meant to be a serious emotionally driven post just in case some jism.com finds it not amusing.
