No Loitering



This is what I saw beneath the new "No Loitering" signs outside the strip mall (in St. Paul) as I drove past yesterday. This is common everyday, and the scene continued under each of the other signs posted.

and I was being great?

CuTRis was back in the news in another of his many scandals--this one involving a soap dispenser. Apparently CuTRis pressed it twice, and ended up getting two portions of soap. Will he ever learn?

Winter 5.0

I know it is supposed to be Spring, but each snowfall seems more beautiful than the one before. Last week Larry said we were on our fourth winter, so I think this must be at least version 5.0. I took these photos this morning.

CuTRis is apparently involved in another of his many scandals! Today the Teapot Police are questioning CuTRis about filling his wife's new teapot past the maximum fill line! CuTRis said his wife (who also disobeys the rules) told him to do it because she wanted extra hot water.

Borg Epilogue

CuTRis came out with an extra $75 due to his lottery scratch off winnings. Larry came out $50 ahead because he got the government bailout on his $87 Billion loan and he also got $50 for scrap metal when he recycled the Borg cube. Everyone was happy!

Larry was fired today as CEO of AIG International Group. His salary was $200 Million per minute, and he apparently didn't know what to do with all of that money so he opened a savings account. When the (AIG) Board of Directors heard about this, they immediately fired Larry for showing financial responsibility.

CEO Larry
Larry's total mismanagement of money has landed him a job as CEO of AIG International Group. His borrowing of $87 Billion to pay CuTRis for the Borg cube he totaled, was "the gutsiest financial move ever!" according to the (AIG) Board of Directors. Larry's new position also made possible for him to receive a government bailout resulting in him no longer having any financial responsibility for his $87 Billion loan.

Larry's Cube

Apparently Larry had some "great" idea to use the Borg Cube to go back in time and deposit ten dollars and change into a bank millions of years ago so he would have the money to pay for the $87 Billion he gave CuTRis to buy it. Not only didn't his plan work, but he also crashed into Past Larry's Borg Cube that was parked in his spot! He totalled them both!

Recent reports from numerous sources regarding Borg activity have all been similar--and seem to indicate that CuTRis has most likely assimilated them!

Arden Hills Tire & Service Center Review

I bought new tires at Arden Hills Tire & Service Center today and I was quite pleased. The quality of the tires was good and the prices were also good. In fact, I recognized the brand--which was a change from most of the shops I got quotes from. There were no hidden charges and my quote was right on. Tim the manager showed me my alignment specs and said everything looked good. With their pick-up/delivery service, this was extremely convenient.

CuTRis Has Escaped to South Korea!

CuTRis has escaped from North Korea and is currently in South Korea, where he has given this account of his escape,

    "After that stupid dragon dropped me in North Korea, I had to try to find food and get back out of the country. I found Kim Jong-un's house where there was lots of food. Kim Jong-un was always looking at things, so I had to be careful not to get caught. Some military guy in a stupid over-sized hat and Soviet WWII uniform saw me and launched a missile at me. I'm pretty fast, so I ended up outrunning it! Eventually they shot a faster missile at me and I grabbed it by the nose cone and rode it across the border into South Korea! The missile was apparently a dud--just like the North Korean leader! So that's how I got back! It was pretty easy; now that I think about it.

Nothing has been heard from CuTRis in the last 24 hours. The State Department has been reluctant to get involved because of the tense relations with North Korea; and because CuTRis' dragon pooped on Kim Jong-un. CuTRis' has been up against some tough situations before and managed somehow to get through it. We can only hope!

A radio message was intercepted from North Korea this morning that was attributed to CuTRis. He is believed to be in the communist country after his former dragon dropped him there. The message is as follows,

     "I managed to find food at Kim Jong-un's house. There was a lot of food there! People are poor and starving--but not at their dear leader's house! I was discovered by a guy in a large stupid hat and WWII era uniform. He launched a missile at me but I outran it! I thought that if somehow I could make it chase me, it would no doubt fail. Instead I found that North Korean missiles aren't very fast!"

CuTRis and his dragon have apparently had a disagreement about what they should do next, and have discontinued their campaign over North Korea. In fact, it is thought that the dragon dropped CuTRis somewhere inside of the communist country. When asked about it, Yosemite Sam said, "Dragons is so stupid!" Just how or if CuTRis will be able to escape from North Korea is the question right now.

CuTRis Riding Dragon
CuTRis was seen riding a flying dragon this morning through the capitol city of St. Paul.

When asked about this, Cutris said, "I'm not sure why more people don't ride dragons. Sure once-in-a-while one will eat somebody; and sometimes they don't want to go to the same place that you do--but that is a small price to pay for flying over rush-hour traffic!"

Hmmm... says this reporter... Cutris may have something there...

End of the Banana Republic

What? Carl's last day is Friday?
If you happen to be one of the people who follow my blog, you might remember my coworker Carl--who loves overripe bananas. Well Carl is leaving for a new job--so today I let him have my banana. My banana was very ripe. I think Carl is the only man I've ever given my banana to. He was eating my banana when I told him so--and he started laughing so hard that I had to tell him not to choke on my banana. So long Carl, I hope there are bananas at your new programming job.

How to Stop North Korea

Give the people of North Korea food, access to the outside world, jobs and medical care and they will see that their well-fed leader is wuss and a tyrant and a photocopy of his dad and grandpa. Then they will kick his butt and join the rest of the world. Even China thinks Kim Jong-un is a dork.

CuTRis Accidentally Destroys Phone Plans

CuTRis Accidentally Destroys Phone Plans
UnAssociated Press
April 2, 2013


In a devastating blow to the world of technology, CuTRis has accidentally destroyed the plans for his super-great Smartphone that can do anything!

CuTRis said that he was eating an extra giant hamburger with everything on it, when he noticed that the ketchup, grease and "special sauce" began dripping down his face. Quickly, CuTRis reached for a napkin--and inadvertently grabbed the one that his complicated plans for the new Smartphone were scribbled on! Before he knew it, said CuTRis, he had completely covered the napkin with the hamburger slop and destroyed the plans!

When asked if he could recreate the design, CuTRis said that he doubted it--as it had been created during a "moment of brilliance" he had while using the bathroom after eating all that pizza in the sinkhole.

When asked what he would do now, after the disaster, CuTRis said that the hamburger had made him thirsty and he was going to go get something to drink.

CuTRis emerged from the sinkhole in his backyard this morning looking rested and well-fed. He said that the jam session with EFS went very well and that he had also designed a new kind of Smartphone that can do everything.

"Some phones can do a lot of stuff," said CuTRis; "but this one can do everything."

Phone expert Hiroshi "Alex" G. Bell, of the SuperPhone Institute saw the design when he tried to steal it; and he said it was absolutely brilliant and "should leave all other phones behind as if they were dinosaurs!"

Fortunately CuTRis was able to escape with the napkin that he had scribbled the intricate plans on--before his invention could be stolen.

Pizza Delivered to Sinkhole

Pizza Delivered to Sinkhole

News this morning of pizza being delivered to the sinkhole in CuTRis' backyard has got people talking. Apparently the three "Everything" pizzas have been attributed to CuTRis himself--while the order for "extra mushrooms" speaks loudly that Dave, (AKA. The Butt) is probably down there too. Because drums can be heard, it is widely thought that Pete is also in the sinkhole, along with Tony--which would explain the funky bass sound emanating from CuTRis' hole... in his backyard. It is now thought that the entire Electric Frog Syrup Band (EFS) has setup a studio within the depths of the sinkhole.
