LONDON (AP) — Fantastic fibbers vied at a remote pub in northwestern England on Thursday for the title of world's biggest liar.
Judges were deliberating into the night after two hours of competition at the Bridge Inn in the Lake District hamlet of Santon Bridge.

Definite RINGERS
My entry:
I Tuesday November 6, I appeared before all the media wire-services and announced that Barak Obama had won re-election.
See, there’s 2 lies; a lie within a lie. How could I lose?
Worthless story. It doesn’t re-tell any of the tall tales.
Sure, I was with my girlfriend, ah, Morgan Fairchild - yea, that’s the ticket....
“This is my friend, Barney Coopersmith, the inventor of the rotary engine.”
You bet your wankle....
Too easy, too easy....
Of course last year the crown went to my ex.
They might as well award the crown to Obama, even before he does anything. You know, like they did the Nobel prize.
The Liar
I was born about ten thousand years ago, In a castle in the County of Mayo; It was me that chased the vermin, while St. Patrick preached the sermon, And I'll whoop the man that says it isn't so
Chorus
Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee There is no one who can tell a lie like me; You can search until you tire, you won't find a bigger liar, I've been lying since the dawn of history!
I saw Eve go pickin' apples off a tree, She came over and she offered one to me; I said, "No thank you madam, go and try your luck with Adam, I'm going home for fish and chips and tea."
Chorus
I saw Delilah cuttin' Samson's hair, She snipped away until his head was bare, When he couldn't run away, well she married him next day, And they opened up a barber shop in Clare
Chorus
I helped Jonah when he was within the whale, He thought he'd never live to tell the tale, I gave old Jonah garlic, and he gave the whale the colic, So he coughed him up and let him out of jail
Chorus
With King Billy at the Boyne I head him call On his followers to follow ‘til they fall, He said “we’ll win quite easy, and we’ll canonize young Paisley”, Then he up and sang a verse of Derry’s Walls!
Chorus
It was during World War Two I met them all, there was Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle, Once I very nearly fainted, I was havin’ my house painted, There was Hitler hangin’ paper in the hall! (with Stalin helpin’!)
Chorus
Queen Elizabeth, she fell in love with me, We were married up in Newark, secretly; When I schemed a bit and shook her, she went with Corey Booker, to shoot mosquitoes down in South Jer-seee!
Chorus
This is the minor league championship - the real pros are in DC.
