Once you earn a nickname, it can stick with you for years.  Long after the genesis of the nickname is forgotten by all involved, the name can linger on.  Such is the case with Dr. Pasty-Smasher Omelette, a 27-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales.  After a workplace food fight with his fellow Asda employees earned Greg Lewis the nickname Dr. Pasty-Smasher Omelette, he decided to do his co-workers one better.  Greg Lewis changed his name to Dr. Pasty-Smasher Omelette via deed poll.

“Nigel and I are the jokers at work and I could not believe it when he actually threw a pasty at me across the canteen.  Everyone found it hilarious and started comparing me to Omelette out of Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show.  Some of the lads at work had remembered seeing the Big Brother episode where some of the housemates had changed their names by deed poll and suggested that I do the same,” said the newly-minted Dr. Omelette.  “I have to be honest, I thought because I was changing it on some website it wouldn’t be real, but then I got a letter confirming it.”

The 27-year-old former Greg Lewis’s girlfriend and children will not be using the new moniker; his family will continue to use the former, normal name.  That said, Dr. Pasty-Smasher Omelette has updated his work ID badge.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]
