Judging elitists isn't elitism, its smart practice. Besides, this is so yesterday. I don't care.

On another note, I don't know if you're playing or being serious in post #77, but I assure you, if anyone is openly calling you stupid in a harmful manner, know full well I have your back.

Methinks she is still doing quotes from A Fish Called Wanda.

Hello dudes and dudettes!

At work today, I saw a memo in which one of my male coworkers who had married a few months back notified our boss and the HR department that he had changed his last name so that it was hyphenated as hisname [hyphen] hername.

Now, I know it's pretty common for women who marry these days to hyphenate their names, but it is more rare for a man to do this when marrying. What are your thoughts on this?

If things go right, I will have created a poll...

That's interesting. I personally won't hyphenate my last name once Mrs. Wilson comes along, but to each their own.
On the other end of the spectrum, I have a couple of married friends who took on a completely different and new last name when they married.

Wanda: [after Otto breaks in on Wanda and Archie in Archie's flat and hangs him out the window] I was dealing with something delicate, Otto. I'm setting up a guy who's incredibly important to us, who's going to tell me where the loot is and if they're going to come and arrest you. And you come loping in like Rambo without a jockstrap and you dangle him out a fifth-floor window. Now, was that smart? Was it shrewd? Was it good tactics? Or was it stupid?
Otto West: Don't call me stupid.
Wanda: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
Otto West: Apes don't read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don't understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

Such a great movie. Thanks for sharing. :)

Last night I watched Total Recall (1990) and cracked up at the following line:

"Cohaagen's big secret is buried in that black hole you call a brain." LOL!!!! :cool:

Don't have my Bible here at work but I'm thinking it's the fifth chapter of Genesis that says God called them Adam. Can't be off to a good start if the wife is trying to find a way to keep a part of her former identity.
