The idea was originally Cubs-related, but it has morphed since then. Booch. <strong>@Andrew</strong> Yeah, there are a lot of hoops to jump through. Getting a name trademarked is $325! I'll keep you in mind when it takes off, naturally. @Dad, @Pistol: Thank you.

Its an exciting time, like being newly in love almost, starting something like this. I recently had an idea that i too deem "dynamite" but fighting through the process of making it real can be more than expected. Mine is more of an invention, so there is patent office stuff to deal with (you have to apply to the patent office to become somebody who can apply for patents, go figure). And, when Google buys you out in a few years, remember the guy who at one point said "crap dude, did you know you can get a domain name for like 10 bucks?!?". I like very fast, shiny cars, grillz (the teeth variety), and unicorns. Just FYI. :-) Good luck. I hate secrets. :-)

I assume you have, but you and I have had sooooooo many! I'm sure when you remind me I'll be like "OH YEAH! booch." Have you ever told me about this idea before???
