Woot! Bald Eagle badge!

is Uncle Slam taken as a name yet?

I am not using these names.

I was just making up some fun stuff to help me memorize materials on the 14 known types of problem solving. Instead of having patriotic heroes I thought it would be amusing to have some patriotic themed bad guys.
