Bullshit and Bullshitters
We've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

Which one of these is bullshit?
1) Magnus Magnusson once asked me for my autograph;
2) I once woke up and found that, overnight, my skin had turned to scales, all over my body - so that I looked like a reptile;
3) My ex-girlfriend was a stripper, but I had to break up with her because she kept doing her act in front of my mates
4) My dad is a minister in the Church of Scientology
?

No, just for a change, three of these are actually true
It's a game I like to play with people, eg at parties, but it's only fun if you use true things - and convince them that they are BS

Right, having a bit of eczema on your arm does make you a fucking lizard
A stripper for a girlfriend is one of QOTW's oldest lies, to impress the other liars who've never touched a girl in real life either. Magnus Magnusson would recognise you as a cunt straight off, so would hardly be after your autograph. Your old man whilst being a cunt as well, was never waki enough to join the Scientologists, so that resolves that.

Obviously you are free to doubt
But a little later I will reveal the answer, and give details of the others.

It's a safe bet that if you have someone on ignore you won't be able to read their spiteful gazzes either

I agree
4.
If so, then moon monkey would most likely be under Scientology control and therefore wouldn't be posting on here.

Ah, you have me there, sir
Luckily neither of those were in the list.
Strangely, it seems that half the active B3tans have "Monkey" in their moniker - something I only noticed AFTER I'd signed up... What's THAT about?

And the truth is....
as follows:
1) TRUE. I was a guest on a Johnny Vaughan TV program, "Live At Jonny's", in a Mastermind spoof. Magnus Magnusson - an all round top bloke, it turns out - was in the habit of getting anyone he worked with to sign his script. So I did.
2) TRUE. It was a rare form of Psoriasis, called Guttate Psoriasis. Little scales all over my body, and a bed like a snow storm every morning. And it really did appear overnight, which was something of a shock on a messy come-down, I can tell you.
3) FALSE. Well actually I DID go out with a stripper (that was a cunning double-bluff to make you think it was too obvious), but she was too shy (!) to actually do her act in front of anyone who wasn't a complete stranger. Yes, she was a crazy, messed up girl, but she was fit, shagged like a bunnyrabbit and drank like a sailor, so I didn't mind too much.
4) TRUE. I spent a lot of my childhood at Saint Hill, the UK Scientology headquarters. But despite what you read, I never saw anything dodgy - it was more like a bunch of hippies than an evil cult. And my folks are not ones to force their kids to believe something just because they do - we were taught to work it out for ourselves.

and now rory is speechless
Because he really is a useless twat. But he livens things up a bit, so I like him. The AB alter ego he is.

Oh, I expect he'll have something to say
Something positive and constructive, as usual

Fair play.
Some decent mini-anecdotes, nicely told, and the eventual bullshit is well-executed.
Worth the microscopic effort involved in navigating my mouse cursor to the relevant area of the screen and left-clicking, if you ask me.

If you condense a bunch of incidents into one post it does seem a trifle unlikely
but if they're actually spread out over a number of years then less so. If you add all the things I've managed to do over the last 20 years into a single paragraph it sounds like the stuff of a BS artist, and yet it aren'tn't.
