Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

So, "Comfy Testicles" Would Be OK?


Citing "vulgarity," the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has denied a trademark application by the maker of "ComfyBalls" men's underwear.  

In its statement, the PTO said:  " 'ComfyBalls' means only one thing -- that a man's testicles, or 'balls,' will be comfortable in the applicant's underwear.  It is not a double entendre or idiomatic expression.  It is a straightforward use of the word 'balls' instead of testicles."

Since I doubt a trademark would really be granted for the literal "ComfyTesticles" brand name, Buster suggests the following perfectly acceptable (non-vulgar?) alternatives:

ComfyNuts
ComfySack
ComfyBerries
ComfyNuggets
ComfyBag
ComfyNads
ComfyBoys
ComfyBits
ComfyJewels
ComfyTwins
ComfyClappers
ComfyStones
ComfyJunk
ComfyScrotum
ComfyMarbles
ComfyBollocks
ComfyDanglies
