Comments on 'Her name was Lola'Monkeys make horrible spouses but James has seen uglier woman. This deal, if he survived the first year of marriage, would leave him a very rich man. James knew the money was the biggest factor in marrying the monkey, but all he could think of was the down sides.
The monkey would not clean the house (most likely would leave even more poop on the floor), would not have a hot meal waiting for him when he returned home from work, and he didn’t even want to think about his sex life.
Her name was Lola, and she was a very cute monkey, as far as monkeys go. She chattered nonstop while James read through the paperwork, and signed away 365 days of his life to the TV producers. He wasn’t only giving up his privacy, self-respect, and any chance of a real marriage on down the road; he was also going to be on reality TV.2007-10-10T17:35:55Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/10317Comment on Her name was Lola<p>Go for, at least for the sake of humor alone.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10317?basename=167782007-10-10T17:35:55ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Her name was Lola<p> THX I LOVE that you knew where that came from…. I’m torn on if I should continue this story…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10317?basename=165142007-10-08T21:08:39Zjesithepoethttp://ficlets.com/authors/jesiloukComment on Her name was Lola<p>“Her name was Lola, she was showgirl…”</p>
<p>“L-o-l-a, Lola, she looked like a woman but talked like a man…”</p>
<p>Why does Lola make such an amusing name for a character? Odd little piece but definitely amusing.</p>
<p>(in case people don’t get the references, the first one is from Barry Manilow’s ‘Copa Cabana’, and the second one is from ‘Lola’ by The Kinks.)</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10317?basename=164522007-10-08T02:25:26ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Her name was Lola<p>It was okay, but I kept wanting it to be <em>more</em> satirical. Not to say that the sarcasm wasn’t there.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10317?basename=156102007-10-02T20:46:50ZLaine the Greyhttp://ficlets.com/authors/lainegreyComment on Her name was Lola<p>Okay, that first sentence…absolutely wonderful. It would be impossible not to read on with a first sentence like that. Great story idea (and honestly, it wouldn’t be shocking if something like this were to really happen on reality TV, lol).</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/10317?basename=145562007-09-27T02:42:28ZFuchsia Devianthttp://ficlets.com/authors/fuchsiadeviant
