Lots of people are wondering why @sassymonkey's husband is called the fake husband. Since I'm the one who started this madness, I should be the one to explain it. It's a long and complicated story and it's a bit of a joke. It's also not something you should feel left out for not knowing. So, now you're going to know.

Way back, years and years ago, @sassymonkey started talking about a cat. Her cat. Her cat named Piper. She talked about this cat constantly. She was beginning to sound like a crazy cat kid (not lady because lord, she was young back then.) She talked about this cat on message boards, on blogs, and possibly in chat rooms.

Some of us (me) asked to see photos of this cat that we heard so much about. No photos appeared. No photos appeared. No photos appeared.

Thus... fake cat.

She was LYING about this cat just because, well, just because people online sometimes lie about stuff. I know, shocking, right?

Finally, after YEARS and YEARS of hearing about this fake cat, she produced a picture or two. Well ya know, anyone can find a picture or two of a cat. We (I) was sure this was just some fake cat she'd made up and found photos of.

No matter that she has since produced dozens and hundreds of pictures of aforementioned fake cat, and some video. The cat remains fake. Once fake - always fake.

Flash forward a few years and suddenly, @sassymonkey starts spewing stories about going away. On vacation. To foreign countries that aren't Canada or the US with some man. Named "L"... who eventually became "Lee".

Well ya know, people make this stuff up all of the time on the internets. And who in their right mind goes on vacation, to foreign countries, with a man named Lee who she'd never met before the day she told us about this trip? Because lord knows, if she had not told us (me!) about this man before announcing this trip, he was not freaking real.

Again, she is making this stuff UP.

No matter that there were photos of @sassymonkey with a man in foreign countries. You can get a guy to do anything, pretty easily, when you're a woman like @sassymonkey (or any woman actually.)

So... this man, obviously a FAKE boyfriend.

And when they bowed to the freaking patriarchy and tried to kill me... he became the FAKE husband.

And so he shall remain.

Once a fake, always a fake.

If she starts spouting stories about fake kids... well that might really kill me. But they'll always be fake, no doubt about it.

alienbody Heh. Keep this in mind yourself -- best to show me a photo early before you end up with a fake something of your own. ;-)

this is hilarious! I agree, Denise, if I never see it, it doesn't exist.
I have a few guys friends with fake wives because they NEVER talk about them or friends with FAKE jobs because they are always on vacation or always at home!
HILARIOUS! :D

Instead of Lee was to avoid confusion between him and @nuthinfancy, the original Lee in my life. ;)

And as for not producing pictures of the fake cat - I was a poor, poor college student who could barely afford internet, let alone means of getting pictures onto the computer. I didn't own a digital camera until 2005. (Seriously, people 2005!)
