I, of course would rule at this game, as this accurate caricature of myself clearly shows…

Moving to more of a molecular theme… this is a mod for guitar hero that already exists. It’s called Transcription Hero!

That’s great! Tell Rob he needs to TM or (C) or whatever that design, put it on a t-shirt that can be purchased online (there are lots of services that do this), sell it to the thousands of members of the nerd brigade around the country, and make some scratch!
Question you might know the answer to: since it is a take-off from ‘Guitar Hero’, would something like this run into its own TM or (C) issues? I’m only asking because I’m curious…
thanks!
I would actually buy that as a shirt.
