It's Here! Finally!

[CrappieJohn]

People wait for a lot of things in life. Some wait for that big buck or huge walleye. Some are maybe waiting for a tax check to get to their door. It's been almost one week since I was informally notified, but now it is real.

CrappieTom is now a registered trademark.

I am holding the bona fide document from the Secretary of State. This is getting framed for the office wall!

I have worked long and hard to get to this point in life and now, finally, it is like a key has been delivered that can open otherwise closed doors for me. You are dealing with one exuberant individual here. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

[Deitz Dittrich]

LOL.. great for you bud!

Congrats-Tom I hope everything goes well for you.Good things are worth waiting for.

[Dan Thiem]

Congrats! Now you need that R with a circle around it by your name.

[Crickschop04]

Congrats! Does that mean that there will be a little c with a circle around it next to your screen name???

[marine_man]

Congrats Tom! Ah... now what? Are you going to make us pay royalties everytime we mention you in a post?

Good for you Tom! That's something worth waiting for.

[PikeBayCommanche]

Congrats Tom. I am sure its a great feeling! I hope to have that same kind of feeling when we open our doors here at our winery, somethings are worth waiting for.

[Corey Bechtold]

Well done Tom! I didn't know the name Tom was that famous till you put Crappie in front of it. Now I just have to start looking for a catchy name .

Later,

[Chris Haley]

That means Rick will have to a "TM" instead of an "M" next to your name.

[setterguy]

Does this mean that Crappy Tom is still available?

[Matt Johnson]

We have always known you as the one and only CrappieTom!

I showed this to my dad and he said the same thing. Way to go buddy! Very cool!

[juggs]

Is "CrappieJuggs" still available??

[tunrevir]

Can we still call you CrappieTom, or would that be trademark infringement? Congrats to you on the trademark, let those once closed doors be blown wide open!
