Addendum for "Creeking More in the ATL (with your host Nate Creekmore)" Episode #44

My inbox, for the past week, has been flooded messages that say things like, "Sorry about your diagnosis.  I lost a close friend to the same disease last year" and "hey, my cuzins nephews frind wrks w a grl who is singl and still has most of her teeth.  u should talk 2 her" and one email said, "...you should just order a bride from one of those countries where they have poor central governance and low expectations".

It took me a while to understand why people were sending me such bizarre correspondence, but eventually I realized what was going on.  You all think that "Tate" from last week's episode of "Creeking More in the ATL (with your host Nate Creekmore)" is me, Nate Creekmore.

Ridiculous.

I'm not Tate.

Unlike Tate, I've been in a serious, committed relationship for several years now.

Sure, we've gone through our rough patches, but we've got something special (and don't tell this to my girl, but I also keep a little something on the side.  Sometimes my girl won't take me where I need to go [*wink*] so I step out and see my other girl).

Still not convinced of my Tatelessness?  Take a look at Tate's torso:

I can't possibly be Tate because Tate has no tattoos.

My chest and back are covered with elaborate ink work.  There's the requisite Virgin Mary on my chest and the ubiquitous praying hands (Albrecht Durer) on my stomach:

...the names of all the children I'm going to have are tattooed on my side:

...and my back is blanketed with a large image of the horse Maximus from the film Tangled:

And Tate, from the look of him, can't weigh more than about 180 pounds.  If you'll recall, I weigh a solid and respectable 200 pounds.

So there you have it folks.  I'm not Tate.  But I'll be sure he gets all your emails and well-wishes (but consider any cards you've sent forfeit, especially the ones that had money in them).

Cheers.
