    Have you ever had a really delicious meal and then wished you could find some way to properly honor the glorious food you’ve just consumed? Well, this man in the U.K. apparently once ate a bacon double cheeseburger so delicious that he decided to honor it by literally changing his own name to Bacon Double Cheeseburger.

    That’s dedication.

    As amusing as it is, I thought there was laws against changing ones name to things like that? Seems like something you'd end up regretting.

    I love Burger King but BDC's are not even nice. The bacon is incinerated.

    I suppose if he had either two sons or daughters; he would have called them Coke & Pepsi.

    Ah man. I'm not usually one for those famous, global fast food chains but a bacon double cheeseburger gets me every time.

    A man walks in to a library and, at the top of his voice, roars "A BACON DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER, NOW".

    The stunned librarian points at the ""Quite Please" sign and responds, "Sir, this is a library!"

    The man whispers, "Oh sorry, a bacon double cheesburger, when you're ready"

    When I lived in england there was some fella running for the university council who changed his name to 'Free Beer' . He got elected and that years prospectus listed Free Beer as a council member. That would have pissed off a few toffs.

    Crazyhorse Invincible

    The 30-year-old marketing consultant changed his name by deed poll to "Yorkshire Bank plc are Fascist Bastards", the name the bank had to use on a cheque repaying the residue of his account.

    If he was in Scotland all he needed to do was declare and use a new name. When I asked a solicitor there before changing mine he said " All you need to do is say you want to be called Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse you are." I think he was miffed because it meant he got no fee and no I am not called Mickey Mouse...;) But I did change my name by Declaration and DSS and the passport folk were fine with that.
