BG> But we don't need Lord Wog Rollo, we already have Paul Edwards! |-) BL> ROFL! What Paul really needs is a funny name. How about: BL> Paul Asian Slope Hitler. BG> Funny that everybody baulks at people named Hitler, yet nobody gives BG> a stuff about people named Schickelgruber, which was Adolf's real BG> name. Funnier still that some people still hate Germans, yet don't BG> mind Austrians. Old Adolf set quite a precedent, you know. 50 years BG> later, Qld had their very own dictator who was neither born here, nor BG> was he even a naturalised Australian. Where else in the world can a BG> NZ-born Dane become a State Premier (and aspire to become PM as well) ?? Quite a few places actually. One of the South American countrys actually has a Japanese running it. Chile ? Forget, Fujimore certainly. And the poms had german kings and various other flavors too. BL> I'm not sure how you'd go renaming yourself Kentucky BL> Fried Chicken Grimsley, but I guess you could do it. BG> Dunno, Collins Food International hold the copyright to that name, and BG> I strongly doubt they'd let you get away with copyright infringement. BL> Not as a *personal* name, though, Bill. They have it registered BL> as a commercial name. It's an interesting point. Presumably, I BL> could change my name to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and then go into BL> business trading on my own name. BG> I think you'd find that was about the time you'd cop a BG> lawsuit (and possibly a couple of broken legs as well). I doubt it, bet you could do it actually, atleast have that as a personal name. You occasionally see someone play silly buggers with a politicians name in an election campaign. I knew one dork who renamed himself Z, that was his entire name, when he was running as a candidate in an election. --- PQWK202* Origin: afswlw rjfilepwq (3:711/934.2) SEEN-BY: 690/718 711/809 934 @PATH: 711/934 |
