So. A question:
Jan. 9th, 2003 08:50 amWhich five lies would you find it most amusing to tell somebody who didn't know me? They don't have to be mere lies - they can be slanders or libels if you prefer. And you don't have to stop at five, either, if you don't want to.
NB: Do tell me if you actually use these. I wouldn't want to accidentally deny them to someone you'd fooled. I shall forever regret correcting someone who'd come to the conclusion that my friend Tom and I were brothers.

I'm curious what people would say about me. The truth seems to wierd enough people out, without anyone lying.

I'm sure there's the potential for starting a rumour that you are actually him in disguise.
In your secret lair in the caverns under Blyswood House you are building an army worthy of Mordor....

2. His interest in hand-to-hand fighting was kindled when he was caught up, as a teenager, in a tribal uprising against the Burmese government. To this day he is unable to travel safely in south-east Asia, although he still makes clandestine visits every couple of years to help morale.
3. He insists on cleaning the outside of all his own windows at least every three months. He did this even when living in a fourth-floor flat.
4. During his brief stay in London he became an enthusiastic urban potholer, exploring abandoned tube tunnels, storm drains, bunker systems and victorian sewers.
5. He once bought a secondhand book with what purports to be a treasure map folded inside the endpapers. He has located the island in question on a map, but is fairly sure that it's just a Victorian joke.
