I remember once ages ago I was drinking at the social club of the place I used to work... anyway this chick there was telling me how her b/f had changed his name, legally.
I can't remember the exact name, but it was something like Sarno somethingorother. I asked why the fuck he would change it to that, and apparently it was his internet screenname, and seeing as he had more friends online than in real life anyway, he just changed his name to the thing that most people knew him by.
I'm not sure what the moral of this story is. Maybe that that guy was a real g33k.
