I am CuTRis

I believe that if persons in Syria are responsible for killing men, women and children with chemical weapons , they should be tried by an international court. I do not believe the USA should go against the United Nations and act militarily and unilaterally . I do not agree that the USA should start another war--by justifying it was a response to atrocities. I do not want to see the mutilated little bodies of children caught in the middle of a political struggle that they cannot understand. I do not want the people of the USA to have to fund more wars. I oppose action that is not agreed on by the United Nations Security Council . Sincerely, Kevin J. Curtis USA 8/30/2013

I received an email from PublishAmerica, who I have long since parted ways with. It said I sold no books and get no royalties. My response is below. PublishAmerica has no rights to sell my book. In fact, if I find out you are still selling my book I will sue your crap ass company. Our contract has long ago run out. Sincerely, Kevin J. Curtis

Aldo was talking to his neighbor Jeblinka Johnson one day about her son Tyreese. Apparently Tyreese had applied for a job at the hardware store down the street and he wasn't hired. Jeblinka was furious, because their other neighbor, Brian, who was the same age as Tyreese was now working at the hardware store. Jeblinka was sure that Tyreese was discriminated against. About that time, a school bus stopped on the corner and Brian got off of it. Brian waved to Aldo and Jeblinka, and said 'hello' before running into his house. For a moment Aldo wondered why Tyreese wasn't getting off of the bus since he and Brian were about the same age. But then Aldo remembered that he had seen Tyreese downtown earlier in the day. Tyreese had been hanging out with some other young men on a street corner. Aldo knew it was Tyreese, because of the tattoo on his neck. Meanwhile, Jeblinka had begun badmouthing the owner of the hardware store as being a racist. A few moments later, Brian ran out ...

CuTRis Asks Obama to Bomb Robot Mantids UnAssociated Press August 29, 2013 CuTRis means business! Shown in a photo with robot Mantids , CuTRis said he was recently at a banquet to honor a male mantis named Jooney, for helping the poor. At the end of the banquet, apparently Jooney's wife, Milgo ate him! In fact, said CuTRis , all of the female mantids ate their male partners. While the giant robotic mantids maintain that females eating males is part of their culture , CuTRis has asked President Obama to launch an immediate airstrike against the mantids, before the wussies at the United Nations say they can't do that.

CuTRis Challenges Ben Affleck to a Batman Being Contest UnAssociated Press August 29, 2013 CuTRis has issued a challenge to Ben Affleck to a Batman "Being" Contest. CuTRis said that while he respects Affleck's acting skills, he ( CuTRis ) believes that he can better portray the caped crusader in the planned "Man of Steel Sequel" due out in 2015. The UAP is hoping for a reply to the challenge from Ben Affleck soon.

Thanks to Christopher Tozier for helping me to identify this Osmonderma beetle I saw while on my walk today.

CuTRis Accused of Being High-Handed UnAssociated Press August 27, 2013 CuTRis denied allegations today, that he is high-handed . However, after seeing a picture of himself with his hand elevated, he conceded that perhaps there was some truth to it.

I like to check the countries that my blog visitors are in and this morning there was someone from Zimbabwe! Hello! I find it fascinating when I see a country like Kazakhstan represented. Do these people think I am a total goofball or do they take me seriously? Either way would be correct depending on what entry you happened to be reading...

CuTRis To Be Batman UnAssociated Press August 23, 2013 CuTRis is disputing reports that Ben Affleck is to be the new Batman in the planned "Man of Steel Sequel" due out in 2015. CuTRis is maintaining that he will be the next "caped crusader." CuTRis said he has nothing against Ben Affleck , but clearly if there is going to be a new Batman , it is going to be CuTRis ; not Ben Affleck. CuTRis was quick to point out that though he has less acting experience than Affleck, he has watched more of the original Batman TV series than Ben Affleck--so it is really a "no brainer" according to CuTRis . CuTRis also said that he finds it sad when a trusted source like tabloid journalism can get a story so wrong!

I like to walk. Today as a I was crossing at a busy intersection with the crossing signal , a car coming parallel from the other direction honked and the guy on the passenger side yelled something about "jaywalker" . The same thing happened to me and Larry about a month ago. Since I was actually crossing the absolute most legal way possible, the rude people must be either very stupid or have some warped emotional need to give others a hard time. The question that remains for me, is if these same guys are as rude to strangers when they are not in a moving vehicle? I think it is always easier to be rude (and "brave") when you are in a car and the person you are antagonizing is on foot.

I think something is wrong with the microwave oven at work. I wanted to heat up my lunch so I thought maybe 100 second s would be long enough to do the job. I put in 100 seconds and pressed the "start" button. Immediately the digital readout went from 100 seconds to 59 seconds, then 58 and so on! It missed an entire 41 seconds!!! Luckily my lunch was warm enough anyway when the clock got to 0.

Remember the flashy thing in the movie(s) Men in Black ? Here is my impression of Agent J asking Agent K if he used the neuralyzer on him.  

My biggest (blog) commenter starts his new job today. Good Luck Larry!
