the name game
full discloser. i have been aching to anoint myself and ashley's blissful union with some really cool amalgamation of both our names ala tomkat, bennifer, brangelina. i mean if you could tell people you just got done posting on petman's blog or you just blew up roshley's cell, people would think you were the cat's meow. well, all my well laid plans were blow to smithereens this weekend, when i found out that there is a new trend among parents to give their children a combination of their respective last names. i mean these people don't have blogs, adopt vietnamese children or even show up in the front row of every boston sporting event like myself, brad, and ben. this is not good and i have scientific proof to prove it:
example
mr. morris + mrs. kerlin = baby kernmorris
baby kernmorris + playing with other kids = baby kernmorris getting ass kicked all over the playground
as you can see, mere mortals should proceed with extreme caution before trying the new age name game!
update: shortly after we went to press with this blog, we were made aware of another (and in the opinion of mfd staffers...much worse) instance of name changing. for anyone who had the fortune/misfortune of attending state high in the early 90's...you are in for a treat! read about the name game gone wild here.

That's wild - I tip my hat to you for your ability to dig up these delightful nuggets of trivia. Jess used to be best friends with me former gf. And as for Pete Buck....let's just leave it at that.
One more notw - I am quite partial to "Rashley" - learn it, use it, do it, and learn it.
hey anonymous-
"learn it, use, do it, and then learn it".
Who are you, and what have you done with my Andy Dick Reference??? I love that skit. Nailed you with the burn.
Moving forward, we will only respond to our new "couple name" as...JIM
I strongly vote for Rashley. All good combo names should sound sort of like a skin condition.
