Okay, I dont start threads often (so please be gentle ) But i know everyone knows this guy.... Im just curious as to what hes been telling other folks! The guy i knew who was so full of shit, Troy M, used to come around to where we jam and start in on handing out the craziest bullshit stories! They were so far out, there was no way they were true, but he would swear that they happened! This is the kind of thing that he would go on about.... out of the blue he would say "man, this past weekend I couldnt come to see ya'll play cause I was deep sea fishing with Paul Stanley" Idk why, but he thought that was gonna make him cool! Oooh-kay Troy, Paul Stanley huh? "yeah man, gene simmons was gonna come with us but he was late and we just left without him". Troy had a boatload of bullshit, and would spout that kind of thing pretty regularly - I cant remember any specific lies, after deep sea fishing with KISS i stopped listening! So yeah, dude was full of shit! If he sees this thread, he will know its about him cause how many people would lie about that? Fast forward five years.... I thought it was just Troy till a few years later I run across this completely other guy who said almost the same shit! Jim was way younger, and when i first heard him say "man i spent last month hunting with Dave Mustaine" i thought he knew the other guy and was making fun of him! He swore he didnt know Troy, and that he had been with mustaine hunting between recording sessions... So in retrospect I found the lies pretty entertaining and wondered what crazy shit that liar guy you know was saying? Anyone else know someone who comes up with that kind of crazy line all the time? It wasnt like a one time thing, they both made up things along that kinda line pretty often.
I know a guy like this but his lies are not so obvious...its the amount of them that he tells that is really annoying
Next time tell the liars that you find it amazing they were on these fabulous trips with celebrities and took no photos...
I have one friend who has what I call selective recall. She never seems to remember her part in any of the incidents. I have to say she does not lie but she sure does not recall the whole event or incident. Sometimes it is amusing but to be honest most times it is something we all ignore. We ignore it as she has many other qualities that are great, so a selective memory you just let go.
Sounds like some of the politicians who testify at Congress. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/221105/alberto_gonzales_testifies_to_congress.html?cat=9 Excerpt: "One person held up a particularly illuminating running count of how many times (74) Gonzales said "I can't recall." It seems obvious to almost everyone-except maybe Gonzales and Mr. Bush-that the service of Alberto Gonzales as attorney general is about to come to an end." .
i think some people are so desperate for attention they fail to see that no one is buying their bullshit. it's almost like they don't care that you don't believe and that's why their stories get more and more outrageous.

You never know sometimes. (may have posted this somewhere here before) There was this crackhead that used to come around. Always looking for something from us. He would ask for a loan and said he would pay us back (with interest) with the first big check from his lawsuit win. We blew him off as a liar. He told of how he was going to get a brand new 4x4 and some ostridge skin boots, etc, etc, and move to Vegas. bla bla Well guess what. One day a brand new 4x4 pulls up, and out comes some ostrige skin boots with the crackhead standing in them, lol. He said; "Nice knowing you all, got my first check, I'm on my way to Vegas now -bye." He just had to rub it in I guess. We all wished we had believed him then!
^^^ Then again, if you had loaned him all your money, he might have lied about paying it back and took off for Vegas even more wealthy. .
He never asked for much. A ten, or a twenty maybe at most. He was just read wrong by people because of his looks, and the way he dressed. A common mistake made by people who judge I suppose. He was dressed well the last day we saw him though..cha ching. He was set for lifetime payments (settlement). Lucky sob!
what goes around comes around. Be careful what you send around the corner. Most people don't even know why they sent it, leading to something, much much worse than imaginable.
One time, me and this kid were playing guitar, and I was showing him a chord progression for some song. (I don't remember what) and when I told him to play Bmi, he played B7. The conversation went pretty much like this, "that's not Bmi, that's B7, this is how you play Bmi" "UH...NO. This is Bmi" (^^this was said like I was the biggest idiot in the world^^) "yeah, I'm pretty much positive that's B7, notice how it sounds like a 7 chord, and isn't minory at all" "ok kid, who did you learn guitar from?" "a professor at a guitar school.." "ok, well I took lessons from slash, who do you think knows more about guitar??" "um.. As cool as slash is, he is a high school dropout who spent most of his career doing heroin, not getting a masters degree in music, so probably the guitar teacher. But none of that really matters, because you didn't take lessons from slash." "yes I did! My dad works at the studio where they recorded the last velvet revolver album, and I helped mix, and the whole time he gave me guitar lessons!" "that's cool and stuff, but I'm pretty sure that slash knows how to play Bmi.. You're aware that you're a fucking retard right?" Needless to say, we didn't go on to become bfff's
