I'd gladly be back to work, but since they terminated me.
Did a little research and I see their competitor I'm aiming for doesn't have direct coverage here.
Hard to not contact them yet. Have to wait until I'm healed up and ready to present myself.

Sucks that you need one, but I gotta say I love punny branding.

I'll bet it can be used as a trusty cudgel.

I'll bet it can be used as a trusty cudgel. It could, but it's just light weight aluminum. I could get one get swing before it crumples and I keep beating them with it.
I could probably rip the crumpled part off and with the jagged edge use it more as a sharp tipped whirling scratcher.
Honestly, I thought about getting one of the cool old heavy walking sticks with the cane inside. Kinda of like what the Kingpin used to have I think.
Good call, Danny boy.

Morning people. Other Americans ready for work today? I'm not. Evening, Puma. I wanted today off; it's our anniversary. But my supervisor had already put in for it. With the holiday, we had a 3-day weekend, so we did our anniversary dinner Saturday. And it turned out to be an easy day.

In all fairness, I understand where DC's mind set is on this.
They don't want the "S" to be associated with anything that could be polarizing or negatively construed, even though all of us understand that the poor little boy who died here was a Superman fan.
The point is that a lot of people are going to vaguely remember the "S" but will definitely remember the grandparents starving the child.
The 2 things, abuse and the very prominent "S", become subconsciously linked.
It also sets a dangerous standard for the brand as the next guy in line says, you did it for that kid, why can't I have permission to use the "S" for stem cell research ?
What WB needs is a better spokesperson who can explain it in common sense terms.

I think we're back to the problem created when copyrights continue to be extended beyond their original intended expiration. Superman has long since transcended being a brand name and become a cultural icon; modern day mythology. He's so deeply embedded in our culture (as is Mickey Mouse) that no one should be able to own him and restrict his usage at this late point.

Another morning of waking at 3am... Did the cat loudly ask to be let in, as mine does right before dawn?
