Lies You've Told on ilxor.com

out with it -- what half-truths, tall tales, or outright fibs have you spun? socks don't count - under your primary profile only pls.

while we're at it, if i can also get everyone's SSNs and mother's maiden names we should be about set here

;) just joking. but yeah, most people are hesitant to ever admit any sort of wrongdoing so some tumbleweeds might drift by at any moment. i was going to admit that i was KARL MALONE on the ASK KARL MALONE thread, but forgot about the no socks rule.

b-b-but you just did!

no, no i was going to admit it, but then i stopped myself just short. i don't make the rules, i just follow 'em

no outright lies but hello embellishments of rl exp

I am actually registered.

i'm american

i'm really Cro Magnon

I'm a Marmite sock

The story that I shared a jacuzzi with Claire Grogan, proved to be untrue.

That whole story about me being a tipsy neer-do-well who lives at the rubbish tip with coteries of pet rats, that I concocted on Ask A Drunk? Nothing but a sordid lie from beginning to end! In fact, most of my posts on AAD have been deviations from the strictest truth.

Very sad to hear about this.

I'm Marker's senior by a dozen or so years. When he was a young journalist on Esprit magazine Chris wrote to me expressing admiration for the cat mosaics I was making at the time, and asking for advice on how to get established as a cat mosaicist himself. My response was that he should pose as a Maoist, then slowly work more and more cats and mosaics into his work.

I also suggested that Christian should change his name and make up some juicy lies about his past in order to make himself sound more mysterious, while at the same time refusing to confirm or deny anything. For instance, Chris was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, which is a pretty boring and bourgeois suburb of Paris. This would never do for a Maoist-mosaicist, so I told him to spread the rumour that he came from Ulan-Bator in Mongolia. This he did, although not quite as consistently as I would have liked. He also claimed to have been a NASA parachutist, to have saved Fidel Castro's life on three occasions, to come from the future, and to suffer from a rare medical condition for which the only treatment was to drink a litre of boiling hot flamingo blood each week.

Only last week I emailed Chris suggesting he tell people he was suffering from a case of Morgellons picked up from Joni Mitchell, and had coloured threads in the shape of cats' whiskers growing on his upper lip. Unfortunately, Chris stopped responding to any of my communications in 1962. I think the success of La Jetée went to his head a bit, to be honest.

Oh well, see you back in the future, Chris!
