Just a suggestion. I think it would be much easier to see peoples lies if you go back and Quote your original post. That way when people come to see we can just go to view first unread post.
1. I once worked as a shopping mall Santa Claus and they had to install me a fake belly so i can fit into the costume. I was 300 at that time

1. i did worked as Santa's in a shopping mall and yes the pants were way too large. They must have been made for people with 60 inches waist. They installed me a pillow to fill in the gap!
2. My very affectionate cat Poutine was named after this Quebec's traditionnal meal because he had the same brownish color
3. My good buddy Fred was indeed ticket office manager for the expos.
4. A few years ago, i was working as car jockey for a big shot hotel downtown Montreal. Jacques Villeneuve was staying there during the Grand Prix. He was sponsored by Honda at that time. At some point, Honda employees brought his promotional vehicle, a Honda S2000 that i had the privilege to park. When Villeneuve requested his car, i brought it up hotel entrance and stopped the engine as Villeneuve was not ready to take off. The HOnda S2000 had the following particularity. The start the engine, we had of course to turn on the ignition but also press a big red "start" button located on the lower left dashboard. Villeneuve didn't knew this and when he finally took his car, he was stuck in the middle of hotel entrance and i had to show him everything.

I was a student at that time but wanted to get close to university. Now, i cannot wait to buy a nice country house....To much noise, pollution and stress in the city. That was the big lie....

You had me fooled frenchie.
Looks like I got everyone. I did quit school in the 10 grade. I went back for my GED and then my Associates Degree. I did smoke a pipe for awhile. Never did get hooked on smoking though. Food was always my addiction.
My lie was that I met Peter Breck. I did get to see him in a play but never met him.
Well, I'm batting zero so far Hopefully I'll do better with the women!
Here's mine:
#1 - I ran into Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Laura Dern and Angelica Houston one year at the Toronto Film Festival. TRUE - Brad was cute, but quite scruffy. Bruce was surprisingly short (Angelica towered over him) and Laura was sulking because she couldn't find Jeff Goldblum - I believe they were an item at the time and I heard later he was busy chatting up a waitress.
#2 - I'm distantly related to a former Prime Minister. TRUE - We even got a Christmas card one year, but the signature wasn't real - it was obviously a pre-inked stamp!
#3 - My undergraduate degree is in Anthropology. TRUE - Upon discovering few desirable career opportunities for female Indiana Jones types, I settled for the legal profession and now dig up caselaw instead of artifacts and remains.
#4 - In a previous career I was a public relations representative for Taco Bell and McDonalds. BIG FAT LIE - I see some of you recognized this was a reference to all my disparaging remarks here about those particular fast food outlets - I doubt I'd even get an interview in their public relations department!
1. As part of my radio internship, I recorded, edited, and produced commercials that were run on-air for three different radio stations (that's right, as much as I dislike country music, my voice could be heard during a country station's commercial breaks).--TRUE, and loved every minute of it! Wish I could get a job in radio promotions now...
2. I auditioned for American Idol in DC, but I didn't even make it through the preliminaries because I didn't have "the look" and wasn't interesting enough to be on tv [all that waiting in line and I didn't even get to meet Simon, Paula, and Randy!--FYI for any Idol fans that watched the auditions, Mary Roach (the one who heard voices in her head) is from the same town as me and is actually an aspiring comedian].--LIE, Mary Roach really is from Manassas, VA, though, and I read somewhere that she was either an aspiring comedian or actress...I never auditioned, though
3. When I was little, I broke the growth plate in my ankle, so now one of my legs is slightly longer than the other.--TRUE, but it's not a noticable difference (thank God!)
4. When I was in high school, I failed miserably at my All State choir auditions but passed the All New England choir auditions with flying colors (go figure!).--TRUE, I scored something like a 68 on All State but a 94 for All New England!

3. My sense of direction is so bad that I rely on my legally blind husband to get us where we’re going when I’m driving in a new area. TRUE, frightening, isn’t it?
4. When I was a toddler my brother accidentally chopped the end of my finger off and I had to have it sewn back on. TRUE, my brother slammed the door with my poor little middle finger caught in it. Thank goodness I was just a toddler, I don’t remember a thing about it. Though my fingernail has never quite grown the same since!!
5. I once won $30,000 in a Las Vegas slot machine just to gamble it all away in the very same night, ending up 20 bucks down! FALSE! Are you kidding?! If I ever won that kind of money, I’d gather up the loot and run outta there so fast they’d have to replay the security tape to see which way I went.

2. I met Clint Eastwoods make-up artist TRUE- My cousin knows him personally

TRUE I work for federal criminal defense attorney, and one of his clients before I started at this job was a young man who was accused and convicted of conspiring to plant a nail bomb in a NYC subway.
