It's official. My name has been changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows, effective today.

Here's the story of my trip to the courthouse:

The Judge came in about 15 minutes late & apologized, then said that she'd be hearing name changes first, The first lady got up & changed her last name to honor her birth family. Next, a family went up, and the mom & dad both said that their daughter would like her name changed to Jessica, so the judge signed that order.

Then it was my turn... I walked to the front, where she had me raise my right hand to swear that I would tell the truth, whole truth & nothing but the truth. She asked if my name change was to defraud creditors, I said no. She asked if it would be detrimental to anyone else, I said no. She Then asked if I was indeed changing my middle name to that of my childhood hero, I smiled & said "Yes Ma'am." She said, "Then I do order & decree that your name be changed from Jason Michael Burrows to Jason Megatron Burrows" with a HUGE grin. There were quite a few chuckles from the courtroom... I was handed the paperwork & I split. =)


I'd be more impressed if he changed his first name to Megatron.

I'm half tempted to actually add 'Dolphin' to my name... but most people already know me as Dolphin, and I don't really care what pieces of paper say about me :P

Dude, why can't I get a cool judge like that? Most judges I come across (not that I've come across many, but for jury duty and typical stuff like that) have a phobia of smiling.

Or his last name... Middle name is a cop out, it's barely even used!
