# a long time ago,
i used to be 'friends' with this dude called ben. never really liked him, but he always hanged out with me and my other friend gary. one day we thought we would test how gullible he was...

ben was a big metallica fan, as was i and gary, so we told ben we went to see metallica and that we had snake pit passes too. snake pit was a hole in the middle of the stage where a few lucky fans fans could watch. we also said that the band pulled us up on stage.

he didnt even bat an eye lid.

so a couple of days later, we said we went to see em again and that they recognised us from the previous gig. so they invited us backstage, and we hung out for a bit before watching em live from the sidelines and again invited us on stage.

ben was lapping this up and not even suspecting this was a fib.

we then told him that the band took our numbers and wanted to get in contact cuz they wanted us to go on tour with them and hang out. problem with this was we were still at school, so we told ben we had to turn em down. however, we did say that metallica came back to england just to hang out with us, and we did so for a few days. partying gettin leathered and gettin laid by some hot girls.

still, no suspicion came from this boy.

so we told him that metallica wanted us to go to the states to meet them, and that they were gonna send their private jet to pick us up, and we coujld live out there with em for a week. (this was good for us cuz it meant we didnt have to hang out with ben over half term). when we 'got back' we told him that we went to some massive awards ceromony and we were there hangin out with all the stars. we told him we went hunting with james hetfield, we went drivin monster trucks in his back garden... christ, the list is endless.

oh, i for got a bit, sometime ealier, we also roped in another guy called stu who was now friends with the band too. and that we went on tour with them and and performed live too. also metallica's entire fan base were now our dedicated followers too. and whenever metallica released a single with live tracks, we played them over the phone to ben sayin it was a recording of us performing.

at this point, you're all probably thinking that no man can believe all this blatant bullshit, but i havce proof. seeing as ben wanted to meet the band too, we told him that the metallica would be willing to meet him if he took a picture of himself and made a tape recording so they could see and hear what he looked like. i lost the photo, which i regret to this day cuz it was amazing, but i still have the tape recording buried in my room somewhere. i'll make an mp3 out of it and send it here if some tells me how, or what address to send it too.

its pure worth it
