Submariner's wife carries 1:1-scale simulacra of her husband while he's overseas.

I dunno, if I was stuck on a sub, knowing my SO was making do with a RealMudd[sup]tm[/sup] might help with the morale – if I was prone to worrying about Bob next-door.

The photo album was cute and all, until you get to the ‘intimate’ section.

They showed one of the ‘intimate’ photos on CNN last night – her in tacky synthetic lingerie and the simulacrum (dammit!) dressed up in his usual Japanese school-girl sailor-suit fetish gear, and the both of them sprawled on a bed, arms and legs akimbo.

That woman has some balls on her.

I went through two marriages, in my 23 years in the Navy. I say good for her. Being a military spouse is tough, if she can create some humor that cheers up herself and hubby, as well as others, it can only be a good thing.
