    I thought one of the main purposes of the site was to lie about who we really are.

    I was born and raised in West Philadelphia. Used to spend all of my days in the playground. Played alot of b ball after school while relaxing. A couple of guys who were acting no good turned up in my neighbourhood. I happened to get into a small altercation with them. It scared my mother so much that she sent me to live with my aunt and uncle..



    And that's how I ended up crab fishing in Bolivia...

    Don't worry. Spend enough time around here and it becomes apparent all by itself.

    I retired over 20 years ago in 2012 with a very, very generous pension.

    I'm an asexual, bisexual virgin who doesn't like sex and I'm 19, 20 or 22 depending on my mood.

    I run a successful business and shower 5 times a day, but wear the same underwear for days on end.

    I know lots of famous people and regard many as close friends.

    I might be missing for some time. :p

    Definitely that, with a sprinkling of the dark continent thrown in for exotic flavour. Not a middle-aged flab slumming it in a halfway outside Mullingar.

    Don't forget your hot young wife who you have helped from rags to riches by teaching her your unparalleled financial trading skills, and using your vast wealth to pay for a nanny for your many kids.

    I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive. There was nobody calling me up for favours, and nobody's future to decide. Y'know, I'd go back there tomorrow, but for the work I've taken on, modding the radio forum/ like a modern-day Mao Zedong.

    I was born dark, or a bit tan,
    One night i was requested, to fight like a man,
    Ive a drawer full of medal's
    D'wife likes to see,
    All gotten in Flanders, how nice says she,

    One night I packed up, put on my coat,
    Left this green island, on a shakey old boat.
    I almost came back, Leo put on a show,
    People went crazy, party was no more.

    Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

    My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

    My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we’d make meat helmets.

    When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds – pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe.

    At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. At the age of 18, I went off to evil medical school. At the age of 25, I took up tap dancing. I wanted to be a quadruple threat — an actor, dancer…

    I'm in my 70's.

    I'm a nature enthusiast who worked with wildlife..I know all kinds of famous people including David Attenborough.

    I retired in 2012 or the late 90's, depending on which fabricated post you choose to believe.

    I draw a pension of over €100,000 per year yet I spend my time doing online surveys for a mere fiver a week.

    My story...
    Well I was a cop, and good at my job, but I committed the ultimate sin—and testified against other cops gone bad.
    Cops that tried to kill me but got the woman I loved instead.
    Framed for murder, now I prowls the badlands(Limerick as the locals call it)...
    An outlaw hunting outlaws...a bounty hunter...a renegade.

    Keeps me busy like.

    Everything I've ever posted about myself has been an absolute lie because for the last 12 years, I've been in witness protection for testifying against some of the earth's biggest scum.
    This is my actual only outlet to 'talk' to anyone.
    I may have to close my account soon.

    This thread seems to be all about taking the pìss out of others who some of you think aren't "real".

    There were certainly one or two in recent times who we could write a book about such was the level of fantasy. Some of you though are extremely suspicious and you will only end up having high blood pressure with the madness of it all.

    The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.

At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

    I was once a plumber. I started installing air conditioning about 6 years ago. I stumbled on BMI and how to apply it to business soon after. I started moulding my team based solely on their BMI. Overtime and pay rises and all the good jobs were given to team members with good BMI. I had a crew of 8 people, 3 left the company, the rest honed their BMI to perfect. Sick days stopped completely, the few that smoked gave up, we didnt need to replace the 3 people that left because productivity improved. Boss was so happy he had me implement these changes to the whole install then maintenance and service divisions of the company.
    We now have 70 per cent of the staff but income was up to 160 per cent of original when I got a job offer from a global manufacturer.
    We started last year implementing these changes in the air conditioning product factories with great success, I spent most of last year on the other side of the world and I'm expecting my role to expand across the whole company. Thousands of people around the world having their BMI monitored. It's like a dream for me.
    I'm so busy that I barely have time to check my own BMI, but I make time, I love nothing more than measuring my height then weighing myself, then doing my victory dance when I am to the decimal point perfect. Not a gram out of place. Every calorie accounted for, minimal waste, one poop break a day at 6 am before I get dressed. Comes out like a ghost, spotless tissue, perfect human being, efficient naked pooping. I met a guy a few weeks ago who knew me from my past, he said I look exactly the same what's my secret, BMI.
