Title: I would like to file a frivolous lawsuit
Post by: captainspud on October 14, 2007, 12:19:46 PM
I am being infringed upon!

SpudWare (http://www.inhabitat.com/2007/10/13/spudware-cutlery-made-from-potatoes/)

They're clearly trading on the brand recognition of Captain Spud to sell their cutlery. Everybody knows I already have a line of SpudWare erotic rain galoshes... did they think I just wouldn't notice?

I need a volunteer to present my case. Preferably one who's seen at least 100 hours of TV court dramas.

I bet they do meathooks too. They're in for it now.

I'm afraid, Spud, that you would need to move to a nearby country before you become eligible to file a frivolous lawsuit.

In most cases, "frivolous lawsuit" is a redundant phrase.

Now you know how I felt when Pirates of the Carribean soiled my good name.  If you find a decent lawyer, see if he/she can help me with that one too.  Package deal!

You know that this is just begging the makers of the old spudgun to come right after you.

Let me guess, they're called "rubbers"?

No, that's his line of novelty pencil erasers.
