03.11.04 How do you patent something?

Would someone tell me how this happened? When I was about 11 I typed up something titled "The Calvin & Hobbes Directory" which...well, is exactly what it sounds like. Lets say you wanted to read a strip where Calvin was playing with Susie...in the book Scientific Progress Going Boink? Well, that's on page 19. Or what about the very first time Calvin is the superhero Stupendous Man? Well that's in Weirdos From Another Planet on page 115. I worked damn hard on it, and I was the toast of the town! But *now* I've stumbled across a page that's stolen my entire operation! The Calvin and Hobbes Extensive Strip Search (is that supposed to be funny? Am I supposed to laugh at their little double entendre? Cause that ain't hap'nin slick!) is a searchable database of every Calvin & Hobbes strip, including it's original publication date. Now I'm standing around with my cock in my hand, holding a little 20 page booklet that was typed on an Apple LCII, and Table of Contents or not, suddenly I'm the chump. Well, fuck it. I'm going to create an even better Calvin & Hobbes search site! You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, I'm going to be the leader in this little comic searching game! They think they're hot stuff because they have an interview with Bill Watterson? Fuck no. I got the passion baby! What part of this don't you understand? I'm going to make the best fucking Calvin & Hobbes search site that ever existed. Comprende? I know what you're thinking now: What'll people say? Mew mew mew. Oh, no, what will people say?! Grow the fuck up. When you're on top, people talk. That's the price you pay for being on top. Which my Calvin & Hobbes search site will be! Amen, Calvin & Hobbes, sweet Jesus in heaven. God damnit! I've got to start patenting my ideas.
