Jason Permenter is a figment of our imagination
A few pals and I finally came to this realization over the weekend of sftu: JASON PERMENTER IS A FIGMENT OF OUR IMAGINATION. Yes, we’ve met him, stroked his hair, heard wonderfully clever things coming out of his mouth, even met his insanely-more-beautiful-in-person bride-to-be Anna and witnessed how magically in love they are together. [swallowing my bile.] But he doesn’t have us fooled. HE’S NOT REAL. We realized that no one individual can have all of the fantastical aspects of one’s life as he does.
The prior career as a volcanologist? The amazing things he makes now as a ridiculously talented designer? The *multiple* corduroy suits? The beautiful french bride? And of course the most recently revealed conceit, that these two met via an email sent a year ago that was titled “This is not spam”?
FICTION! It’s too perfect. He’s like Griffin & Sabine. He’s been written by some eccentric writer somewhere. HE IS A CHARACTER OUT OF ONE OF HIS OWN DESIGN PROJECTS. Don’t try and deny it PERMENTER! In fact, once we finally realized the enormity of this charade, some of us were a little upset. So Jason, while we all consider you a dear and special friend and wish nothing but the best for “you” and “Anna”, DO NOT TRY AND CONVINCE US FURTHER THAT YOU EXIST.
