Actually I'm jealous, Barth. I don't have the guts to wear that in public, lol.

Also I haven't forgotten about D-Day, just FYI. I've been working more hours lately because of a bump to a bigger opportunity at work. I still fully intend to send it to you, hopefully before you retire.

Not a problem. It's free so it's not like I can complain.  ;)

Brant, you need to trademark that ASAP. Just putting it up on CafePress is not enough to secure it.

I've no idea of the cost but you could use something like Legalzoom.com: http://www.legalzoom.com/trademarks/trademarks-overview_v1.html.

Perhaps Jarhead might have some insight into the pros and cons of using a trademark attorney vs doing it yourself to save money vs doing nothing at all and relying on how much you would be protected by Common Law Trademark. I personally know bupkas about these things but a googlechop came up with this which hints that you may not have protection outside you home state or 'territory':

First thing is to put the circly C and Copywrite on the image. Do that ASAP.

That's what our photojournalism teacher told us when taking pics.
