Super Ruddy Ruddy

"Ruddy Ruddy" has been variously prefixed by the honorifics "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Miss", and even "Dr". But never before have I seen anything addressed to "Super Ruddy Ruddy". Until now, that is.

Shell Motorsport has sent a bunch of stickers of its Ferrari racing team. I'm not sure why. Maybe they believe Super Ruddy Ruddy to be the thinly disguised superpowered alter ego of the regular Ruddy Ruddy, kind of like how Grover would occasionally become Super Grover on Sesame Street. And maybe they figure that, being a superhero, Super Ruddy Ruddy might be looking to purchase some kind of Batmobile-like high-performance automobile. And in that case, won't Super Ruddy Ruddy please keep Ferrari in mind for his vehicular crimefighting needs?

But wherever did they hear about Super Ruddy Ruddy in the first place? And how is it that this particular piece of mail comes all the way from England?

I wonder if I don't detect the hand of one of my English Ruddy Buddies in this one. Not only do they live in England (not that that's that important in the scheme, since one can order the stickers off Shell's website), but they also know my home mailing address. I particularly suspect that Ruddy Buddy #1, a charming little lady whom I've christened "Dr. Jr." for the purposes of her own potential Ruddy-esque mail-fraud adventures, might be behind this little caper. After all, if anyone thinks Ruddy Ruddy is super, it's her. And the feeling is mutual.

HahahAHAhaAHahahAH! SUPER Ruddy Ruddy. That makes me laugh regardless of any suspicious involvement.

I love Ruddy Packages too... How can you stand not opening ANY piece of Ruddy Mail let alone a Ruddy Package?

From now on, I'm going to cross out "Mrs" and "Miss" on administrative forms and fill in "Super." What would be the abbreviation? Sr? Su? Sp?

I'd go with "Spr." "Sr." looks like "senior", while "Sp." looks like "special". I'm not sure what "Su" look like, but I'm worried it might be "sucks".
