Seems about right. If he won he proves he was a man and gets to keep his name. If he lost, well he would get what he deserved.

Who gets the balls?

So what's the over/under on how long this marriage lasts? I've got 6 months.

The only way I would take the woman's name is if it was really cool like Steel or Dragonov

submitter: Engaged couple play 18 holes of minigolf to decide which one of them would take the other's name gets to wear the pen0r

FTFY.

I'd consider taking my wife's last name if she was a Kowalski. I like the idea of naming my first born "Killer."

Who gets the balls?

Well, if they get married, she gets them in a glass jar.

In any future contests, however, Mr Marshall would have to watch out, she said. "Next time, it's pool - or something more even."

Some kind of cooking or menstruation contest perhaps?

I kinda understand this. Hubby, of 30 yrs., burned himself out proving himself to me, I took up the slack. Our furure is stable. Guess at this time and juncture, balls in my court, so to speak.

Why don't couples both take a new name? They get equal input, and neither's family is slighted moreso.

trust me, when the balls go into the clowns mouth, it'll be the last time

It makes about as much sense as any other system of determining who takes what last name, only more fun. More power to 'em.

minigolf is just a mindgame. should not be a problem for the guy to win.

/wife refuses to play with me
//seriously

I really wish I hadn't taken my wife's last name.

C'mon, people - I come into a thread like this hoping that someone will have already pointed out the grammatical flaw in the headline. That should be "engaged couple plays".

The guy has already chosen his name: Douchebag.

StillH2O said it best. It seems like a kind of cute thing to do.

Me, I would just take the damn guy's name if I were her. There are no members of Kids in the Hall with the last name Marshall, now are there?

/um no I'm not a geek

I think both people should change their names... Blahblah Marshall Foley or whatever. Or combo name. Marley. Folshall. Marsfo. Hallley. MaForshey.

If I ever get conned into marrying someone I'm going to have a tough time of it... my name wouldn't make a good combo. I think I'll have to keep it unless my spouse has a really sweet name. I'd be happy with taking my spouse's name as a middle name, though.

Obviously you have mistaken fark for an intellectual site.

what a biatch, question is, which one?

giffin

Yeah, I had originally written the headline with the subject being the two of them, then went back and changed it without checking to make sure the predicate still made sense. My bad. I've asked for a link submission preview option before, along with several other people, but our proposals have all been shot down.

Why not keep your own name. The Chinese do. And there are more of them than us, so they must be right.

My wife's last name is six syllables. I wasn't going anywhere near that sucker. And I was happy to let her keep it.

Please. No real man would ever take a woman's name. A woman takes the man's name because she is no longer her father's and is now is his property.

"Obviously you have mistaken fark for an intellectual site."

Oh no, he just knows that people nitpick meaninglessly here. The internet is, afterall, serious business.

Nice trolling attepmt, Tallow'nbits.

Was it really fair if she had to play in a dress and heels?

.....No real man would ever take a woman's name.

What if your name was Vin McGillicuddy, and you married a chick named Denise Diesel?

Change would be good. You could get high-paying action roles while looking like a cancer patient and without being able to act.

Amen!

*runs*

:P

Trolling is so 06... That was "ironolling"

/women can't do math
//ironoll my shirt!

My friends did this to see if she would take his name. He had a cool sounding name and she did not. They played Croquet after the wedding, Bride's family against Groom's family. She told me later she never worked so hard to lose a game in her life.

Show me a cancer patient with guns like that. And it doesn't matter that he can't act. Do I pick on Denise Richards' acting abilities? (OK, I do, but that's besides the point.)

Would I ever! But sadly I don't live in New Paltz.

Every time I meet a married man with a hyphenated name, all I can think of is "what a p-u-s-s-y". It's bad enough to hand over your balls to the wife in private. It's quite humiliating to do it in front of everyone who can see your name.

Next, shall we hear from all the ladies complaining that there are no "real" men left in the world?

montex

Tell me about it! It's like on the one hand, there's no "real men" left, and then they get their panties all twisted if you smack em around a little! I only ask that dinner be on the table when I get home. What's so hard about that???

FTFA,,Greg Marshall and Adrienne Foley,
------

at least they have decent names, hopefully they wont give there kids farked up names like, Justice, Essence, or Dakota,(I guess thats what they were drivin')

Keep it simple,,,being original ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Why can't they just hyphenate their names like normal hippies?

My wife and I did the same thing before we got hitched, and sadly I lost to Miss Valerie Von Stunko Buttershines. Now I can't get a credit card.

.....I only ask that dinner be on the table when I get home. What's so hard about that???

Well, the fact that a table won't fit in your trailer for a start.

giffin: That should be "engaged couple plays".

couple is a collective noun

My wife's maiden name was Lopez. She practically BEGGED me to give her my name. She kept complaing about the sheer amount of Lopez's, and the people she kept getting compared to.

It still feels weird to say I'm married.

Nuh uh. This here a double wide. And I want it spic an span cause we're havin company.

If I ever get married there's no way in hell I'm changing my name. I'm used to my name, I've had it all my life, and I'm keeping it. By that same token, if she doesn't want to change hers I completely understand and really don't care. It's up to her. As far as I'm concerned that's about the fairest way to do it.

Admittedly we might run into problems if we decided to have kids. Not sure what we'd do then but I guess we'd cross that bridge when we came to it. The one thing I am sure of is that I absolutely would not saddle a kid with a hyphenated last name so that option is out no matter what.

Never, ever shoot a straight shot. Always shoot a bank shot.

Pussy.

C'mon, people - I come into a thread like this hoping that someone will have already pointed out the grammatical flaw in the headline. That should be "engaged couple plays".

Technically, both are correct. The brits refer to collective nouns like subby did.

//but your way is better

refer to = treat

And everytime you see a womens hypenated name, all you can think is how she's not a real women . 'll tell you what is lame, is people that lack maturity. If someone wants to change their name, or hypenate it, let them.

Well, we're totally screwed either way; my last name is that of a famous Greek philosopher that always gets mispronounced and then has to be explained (along with the requisite jokes from people who probably have never read a single one of the works of the philosopher in question) or his which is in English a pronoun that also causes great confusion (was translated from Gaelic and now people think it's funny). I think I like being common-law for the moment, but since one is just as bad as the other, I guess I'll just take his...

/any guesses?

specialkae

ow. my brain. you should change both of your names to "Runon"

specialkae: I think I like being common-law for the moment, but since one is just as bad as the other, I guess I'll just take his...

Why not just decide on a new name together?
