Awesome name change

Douglas Allen Smith Jr., an unemployed cabinet installer in Eugene, Oregon, was granted a request to have his name legally changed to "Captain Awesome." The nickname was inspired by a character on the NBC television show Chuck.

He is also allowed to use a new signature, which consists of "a right arrow, a smiley face, and a left arrow." Not surprisingly, his bank won't accept it because it would be easy to forge.

Despite the legality of the name change, I cannot bring myself to refer to him as anything other than Douglas Smith. I mean, we already have a Captain Awesome...
