    For me $15K is not enough for a lifetime of jokes. Maybe for a million bucks.:D

    Woman Sells Her Name on EBay for $15K

    Tue Mar 29, 7:04 PM ET Strange News - AP



    SEYMOUR, Tenn. - A mother of five put her name up for bid on eBay and got an offer. Terri Iligan, 33, sold her name to Internet site Golden Palace Casino, and she will officially be named goldenpalace.com once the legal work is complete.



    The casino paid $15,199 for the name.


    Iligan said she got the idea when she found out how much it would cost to send one of her children, ages 4 to 10, to a golf school Tiger Woods attended.


    "To my kids and to my husband, I will always be Terri. My husband is real supportive," she told WATE-TV in Knoxville. "He thinks it's funny. As long as they get to call me mom, they don't care."

    If her kid plays like Tiger, he doesn't need to go to college.

    Guess she didn't check the probablity of another Tiger with the Vegas odds makers.

    I hope she doesn't decide to run for school board or any other elected office.

    I wonder if that violates election laws if the candidates name was bought and paid for by a for profit company.

    Of for that matter if she gets arrested. The trial would be The People V Goldenpalace.com.
