I'm sure Hasbro has planes fast enough to pull Morg out of the shower and have him back in time for his supper with his family.

Flight fare possibly be salary deducted.

Nah, just for the interview.

After that I'll sit at home and run it all via remote. Isn't that what all this wonderful technology is for?  ;)

If they are sending planes to pick me up then I want them to have SDCC 2011 stamped on the tail wing and a decepticon logo painted on it somewhere.  That and I get a baby blue flight suit and shiny walther p38 with silencer and stock.

Then I'll think of giving up the day job.  ;D
