Lying Liars and the People They Lie To


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So in the light of the Manti Te'o debacle, I'm wondering how many people on here have a story of someone in their past who attempted to perpetrate a colossal deception and failed...or succeeded.

Have you ever known a big fat liar? If so, what did they lie about?

Ex wife was/ is an all pro liar

I got divorced from her close to 30 years ago - havent seen nor talked to her since - from time to time I still have her creditors call me looking for her

Biggest one I ever knew was a lady I worked with on a prior job.

Anytime someone had a major illness or a death in the family, she'd go around the entire office - I'd estimate about two to three hundred employees - and take up a collection for them. I generally contributed something myself, depending on how much I had in my pocket (like a lot of folks, I hardly ever carry cash these days).

Heard one day that she had been fired, and shortly thereafter learned that all that money she had collected never actually made it to the people it was supposedly for. She was keeping it herself :unsure:

That wasn't the reason she was fired though. She had been let go because she kept going out on funeral leave, and apparently one of her "family members" died a couple of times :blink:

Given that record, it wouldn't surprise me if she turned out to be Manti Te'o's girlfriend.

There's the old military addage:

If the story starts, "This is no bullshit," or "This is a no-shitter...," odds are it's not the truth.

And I play a lot of golf and rarely listen to guys telling golf stories because the 3-foot putt soon becomes the 16-footer downhill with a hard left to right break...blah, blah, blah...

Golf cheaters are worse than golf liars, and I've been paired with golf cheaters- not fun in the least.

If you know fishermen and golfers, you likely know liars :lol:

A guy at my dad's country club growing up was an insane liar when it came to golf. The club would track everyone's handicap and everyone knew this guy sucked but he was always in the single digits. I never understood it, he was one of the richest guys there, drove a Ferrari, huge house, trophy wife, etc, he simply HAD to cheat when playing golf.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
