Sue Denim was born in 1966 to her parents, Roscoe and Farina
Martina. She was named "Sue" after her
grandfather, "Jennifer Jr.".
In 1968, when Sue was just five years old, her
parents took her on an African safari to India. One day,
while pushing through the densely forested desert, they
stopped for lunch at one of the many Taco Bells in the
area. Sues parents each got a Big Mac™ then
continued their journey on to Jerusalem. Unfortunately,
they forgot something very important: Sue.
"I was accidentally left behind
and discovered by a small herd of Icelandic Rainbow
Trout. The gentle, friendly fish comforted and nurtured
me. They taught me their primitive language, and made me
feel like one of the pack. During this time, I learned to
survive by my instincts, and discovered the most
important law of the jungle trout: Try not to eat
anything with a hook in it."
Shortly after Sues parents had
left her behind on that fateful day, they realized that
they had forgotten something very important. "My
Coupons!!!" screamed Sues mother as she dashed
back to the restaurant in a panicked frenzy. When they
returned to the restaurant, they noticed Sue flipping
around in a pond with some very frightened fish.
Although Sue had only spent about
fifteen minutes with the strange tribe of Icelandic
Rainbow Trout, they made a very lasting impression on her
life. This may explain why, even to this day, Sue Denim
still waxes her kitchen floor every time she sees a mime
eating corned beef.
The rest of Sues life has been
pretty boring. She attended "Our Lady of the Really
Big Miracle High School", which is located at the base of the
Appalachian Mountains near San Francisco, CA, and
graduated in the top 100 of her class. All sixty-three of
her fellow graduates were mightily impressed!
Then, while attending a major
university (Big Jims Spaghetti House and College),
she met her husband, Darryl Faye, who was a rabbi at a
local Presbyterian church. They got married and had
identical twin sons, Abraham (age 6) and Zippy (age 4).
Shortly after the birth of their daughter, Rover, the
family moved to Walla-Walla, Washington, so they could be
near Sues parents, who live in Maine.
