You know what would be cool? Legally changing my name to Constant Variable and then contradicting myself whenever I have the chance.

It's spelled "Luxury Yacht".

I knew this kind of shiat would happen when PHISH stopped touring.

I wonder what the ruling would have been if the guy wanted to change his name to "Magnificent Asshole."
The judges would have had to agree it would have been accurate.

I like this guy. He's silly.

FTFA: But once he seeks court approval for a name change, the court has the authority to turn him down on several grounds, including if the name is offensive to common decency and good taste, the judges ruled.

Then why do are so many people, especially of certain cultures, allowed to give their kids names like Levitra?

/seriously knew someone with that name

Did he ride to the court on a Horse with No Name?

 
Fuzzyshrimp 2008-06-28 09:58:14 AM  
I'd like to change my name to "I Don't Know". That would be cool to write on credit applications, etc. I can hear them in the office now...

"What's the man's name?"

"I Don't Know"

RIP Bud and Lou.

After all the name changes I doubt that even he knows who he is.

So anyone know the back story, and for that matter, the back story to the back story? Is he a performance artist named Steve Jones, who chageings his name every couple of years to make a point?

Or someone serving time in the penn who files frivolous lawsuits, or what?

How many name changes has he had, and does he offer to change his name to whatever Golden Palace.com will pay him for, or has he ever changed his name to Ronpaul F. O. R. Prezident?

Makes it easier for everyone else to immediately realize that you're a self-important douchewhistle, I guess.

What a self-important douchewhistle.

I couldn't believe it when I saw that headline. I used to work as a cashier at the hippie Organic Co-OP in Albuquerque, where he used to shop. Just your average kid with facial tattoos, who thought that signing random phrases ( fark censorship being one of them) as his signature on his debit receipt was a good way of sticking it to the man. I thought Slaphappy was his nickname at first. Awesome, my manager hated this kid because he would NEVER sign his name on receipts.

I used to know this guy, I met him through a friend and we used to chat on AIM a few years ago. He once sent me a pair of sharpie-chuks. Two sharpies with the caps connected via a chain. Yes, I am getting a kick out of these replies.

I wonder if his parents named him Snaphappy Fishsuit Mokiligon, or if he changed his name to that later in life.

If my parents named me that, I would change my name too.

In grade school I had a teacher who once told me how he had a student once and her name was
shiat h e a d . And they pronounced it Sh·i·thead.
In all fairness both of her parents where born in another country and I am sure they didnt know any better.
But you would think someone whould have told them.

As opposed to "Unremarkable Asshole"

He has every right to say "fark" or even "fark the government". He can have it tattooed on his face and march up and down in front of the White House playing a banjo and yelling it out. What he can't do is change his name to fark.

This a$$clown is the reason why someone famous once said, "a fool and his money are soon parted." Or something like that.

Anyway, Lord Farkwad shoud just get a Second Life account and name it anygoddamthing he wants and put it on his freakin' business card. Nobody really cares.
