FantasistsEddie Spunkbubble says: I used to know a sad case who fancied himself as a bit of a 007 and bragged that he always carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his attache case "just in case". Overheard by an off-duty copper, he was asked to make good on his claim. A packed lunch, red face and a stern warning "not to act the twat" and he never did it again. Tell us of Walter Mitty types.

Nope. It was because he was known as the Incredible Bullshitting Man.

Emperor Nasi GorengSomeone I know is referred to as "Emperor Nasi Goreng" after the Bigpond broadband advert. No matter what the question, he knows what the answer is, often to amusing results. Wish I could nominate some, but my mind seems to just filter them out now.
