As a SEAL with 25,412 confirmed kills and three Medals of Honor who currently suffers from stage 6 cancer of the fingernails, let me say I hate Internet BS artists.

Wait, now it’s 25,413...got one while I was typing.

Did I mention I served alongside Jesse Macbeth?

Ive encountered a fellow who claims to ahve been a SEAL. He also claims to have been an Annapolis grad. He claims a lot of things that, while possible, seem to be a bit improbable in one lifetime.

Is there a site where I could refer a name and get a simple yes or no? I don’t want to go public here; he could be telling the truth and I would not want any suggestion of fraud to attach to a genuine SEAL.

I knew back then that there was something off about DITHF dude. His stories were just too emotional...too perfect. I didn't frequent the threads because if God forbid you questioned one aspect you would get set upon.

Most people get caught up in these things because they think that nobody would do something like that.

Back in 1992, I was the first US astronaut slated to land on the sun. But when my marriage to Kim Bassinger started falling apart I was kicked out of the program. So I sold penny stocks on a huge basis, bilking millions out of unwitting investors. Then I got convicted of money laundering and spent 2 years in federal prison. Now I am a well known TV evangelist that does TV ads for Sham Wow under a different name with a different wig. I also started facebook and Zuckerburg is just a puppet front man. I’m worth trillions of dollars. I don’t know why people make up stuff about themselves online. Just be honest folks.

It's easy to tell if you know what to look for...

I know it wasn’t Free Republic or Jim Robinson that zotted Quix. The aliens finally got him!

[mdmathis6]

You know...your posting and thread gives me an idea. You know how every year in Texas(I think) they have an “International””Tall Tales “ contest.

It would be fun for Free Republic to have it’s own yearly tall tales contest. You pay a 10 dollar or more donation to enter and Freepers can vote on the best stories. The winner simply has bragging rights for a year or maybe could be awarded some corny poster autographed by JR himself.

A fund raising Tall tales contest...could be fun!
