CAUTION: This email has originated from a source outside of USPTO. PLEASE CONSIDER THE SOURCE before responding, clicking on links, or opening attachments. Need to solve a problem in the middle of the night? Call Lars! Unsure how policy will come to light? Just tell Lars to take a flight.... To LA that is. Which conference room in LA bears his name? We can't say yet but just the same, That day will come - cause he's not dumb. So put up your thumb and vote for Lars. Are you feeling off, man? Call the Hoff Man. He'll cheer you up, he'll fill your cup with Positivity. He's got a proclivity - for sensitivity. So calm your fears, dry up those tears, Cause the Hoff Man always hears you. Although we know he's going away, Let's kill our pride and beg him to stay Because there's bound to come a day When the SPIRT needs the Hoff Man To lead the way! Alas this change came too soon. Feels like it happened at high noon - Like watching a shootout in a bloody saloon. Feels like we're sending Lars off to the moon... Yes, let me tell you honey, We've all been relying on this Energizer Bunny. Now he's moving up and that ain't funny. Still, Lars, we trust your future is bright and sunny! But don't be a stranger Lars - (that is, no stranger than you already are.)
