I added my own twist which makes it even easier by using a protocol to determine where to place the label. This will obviously depend on the type of label you're using but works perfectly with the box of labels I got with The Hoard.
Second letter vowel: Left-justify A .. O Centre E .. U Right-justify I .. Y
Second letter consonant: Left-justify A-H Centre I-Q Right-justify R-Z
You can see here how much easier this system works.

I'm with Jan-Simon - what's up with the ketchup? Is it like fake blood from working so hard on the hoard? LOL
Keep these posts coming! This is like documenting an archaeological dig!

OK, maybe my wife is right. When she saw me taking the pictures she said, "Your sense is humor is so "F-DUP" that your pal ikeyPikey is the only one who will get it". As applied to us, I believe she meant "sophisticated" and "uber-intelligent".
I thought it was an obvious (and might I say brilliant) take-off on those stupid Sham-Wow type commercials (without that dude's sense of humor). You know, where they first show some poor schlemiel mopping a floor while knocking over children, spreading the mess even further, and other exaggerated catastrophes (with a voice-over, "tired of mopping the old fashioned way?") then scene-change to the same guy now with a decent haircut, smiling face, and rippling biceps effortlessly gliding a mop over a scene from a slaughterhouse - making the floor shine like a diamond with a voice-over "then try our new, improved Trump Mop - it will clear your home of unwanted dust, dirt, blood, and even illegal aliens".
I might have to rethink professional comedy as a post-retirement career.
Cheers.
