Robert Parsons
My pet bullshitter was called Robert Parsons. All through High school, his lies were legendary. Just *some* of the many highlights are :

- He shot a bald eagle off his roof (this is in Staffordshire, England) with his dad's shotgun.
- He got it on with his girlfriend's mum regularly
- His girlfriend was pregnant (this was a monthly lie, bear in mind he was only about 12 at this point)
- He was a champion fighter, so much so that he used to go fighting in Moss Side, Manchester with a snooker ball in a sock
- He stole his girfriend's dad's car and drove it down the motorway at 100mph, got caught by the Police but outran them. When one car did catch up with him. he reversed into it, setting off the airbag so he could escape.
- He had caught his dad having a bong in the garage (his dad was the most straight laced man you could ever meet)
- He parked his dad's car on the roof of the garage (how?)
- He had Streetfighter 3 on the Amiga in 1991 (when we were all waiting for Streetfighter 2)
- His grandma used to buy porno mags for him

When I left school in 1996 I thought that was the end of it. Oh, no. I saw him again about 2 years ago when he told me a fabulous tale about how he had put a v8 5 litre engine into his Nissan Micra, had a crash in in and was looking at jail time for not being insured, but he somehow managed to bribe the insurance company to say he was insured with them when he wasn't. Utter bullshit!

I was in a band at the time of the last outburst, so we wrote a song about him called "Son Of Ray".

Here's the YouTube video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=F43cYhFQFLE

Here's the lyrics :

Son Of Ray
Written by Gavin Craddock, ©2005

[Verse 1]
Twelve years old, he pulled his girlfriend's mum
Shot a bald eagle with his father's gun
Plays the games before they're even made
Makes his living out of fighting and getting paid

[Chorus]
Everything you've got to say
He did it yesterday
Oh boy your lies'll catch you one day

[Verse 2]
Count the times his girlfriend's in the club
Crackly phones and bullshit I've had enough
Caught his dad red handed ready to blow
Stole and drove a Jaguar, how fast could it go?

[Chorus x 2]

[Outro]
They'll catch you one day
They'll catch you one day
They'll catch you one day

Songs about liars
Anyone know "Preposterous Tales in the Life of Ken McKenzie" by I, Ludicrous?

It's really rather good.

What did you do in the band?
*musicians curiosity*

EDIT: Wait, I'm assuming vocals, seeing as though you wrote the lyrics. Could be wrong though.

What did I do in the band?
I played guitar (badly). On the video I'm the guy on the left with the Epiphone Sheraton. I wrote the lyrics / music as well. My vocal skills are even worse than my guitar playing so the guy singing is Chris Nelson, a mate.
