4 Ways to Spot An Internet Bull**** Artist
Cracked.com ^ | September 24, 2014 | C. Coville

Posted on 09/24/2014 9:37:05 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

I've long been fascinated with Internet fakers: the people who hang around forums and social media sites, vomiting lies out of every orifice like a drunken frat boy who's also possessed by a demon.

“Zatamazal”

That’s Lazzy’s pious alter self from the Mirror Universe that Captain Kirk got trapped in. In that universe, Zatamazal is a celibate pastor...his celibacy due in part to an unfortunate incident “with a mechanical rice picker” in his childhood.(another Star trek reference...see “City at the Edge of Forever”)

I knew of a Oliver Wendell Douglas the real 13th president of the United States....lived 300 years, he was last heard of working a farm in Tennessee somewhere with a blond humanoid alien who was only pretending to dumb with an East European accent. As for why no records of the man as being president,,,,well the NSA is REALLY that good!

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!

Why, just the other day when I was playing poker with Warren Buffet, Baron Rothschild, The Queen of England, and the Pope, I proposed the same idea! GMTA!
