And yet every time I challenge you on these claims and give you a chance to make us look like fools, you stammer and yammer and never produce.

Friend of mine in high school was always picked on because he always boasted how good of a baseball player he was, but never made the high school team. He walked on in college and played a couple of years of A league ball in the Reds organization.
It wasn't a lie, but that story made me think of it. No idea why he never made the high school team as we weren't very good.

I had a guy tell me he jumped out of a 20ft stand and stabbed a deer in the throat when landed. Same guy also claimed his uncle had 3 67-69 Camaros sitting in a barn out in the middle of some woods. One day a group of us happened by him in said woods and he showed us the cars. Got me thinking about the deer story lol.

High school friend who was a habitual, almost compulsive, liar.
He showed us a Dodge Viper in the school parking lot and told us that it was his.
"No it isn't."
"Yes, it is."
"Brah, that's Michelle's car. She's had it for a year. I saw her pull up in it this morning."
"No, hers is a different one. This one is mine."
We never saw him drive anywhere in a Dodge Viper.
He once told us that his uncle knew a word that rhymed with Orange. Like his uncle knew this on word that no one else knows, but won't share it with anyone.

Went to high school with a habitual liar
I used to work with one. But the thing is, his lies were fairly believable. Nobody ever called him on it until one day he got caught in a lie and then we started looking into it and his entire life was a lie.
He was a tech for the company I worked for, an oilfield service company in Houston. He had been working on his engineering degree from UH and one day he announced that he had graduated. He was going to get a promotion to engineer so HR asked him to submit a copy of his transcript. He never did so after asking several times, they finally called the school. No one with his name had ever been a student at UH.
They fired him.
After that, everybody started comparing notes. He claimed his dad was a big executive for Exxon and lived in Bellaire or West U. That was a lie. One guy who had gotten married recently said that he sent a wedding invitation to him that had come back un-deliverable. We drove down to that address and sure enough, it was a non-existent address. Apparently, his entire life was made up. The really shitty thing is that he was a smart guy who could've gotten an engineering degree if he had tried to.

Apparently HS baseball is very political. Kids that were heavily involved with travel ball got preferential treatment on our HS team, while some more talented kids who weren't involved with travel ball got very little playing time and treated poorly by the coaches on the HS team.

I knew a kid we called "B team Bobby." Never played a meaningful snap in high school for us. Was a Division II All Conference team member at receiver. Caught more passes his first college game than he did all of high school.
Looking back, it wasn't a lack of talent. Coach hated the kid's family and gave him a hard time. Kid went to camp at West Alabama and they gave him a shot.

I had a friend who never played football in Jr. High or High School...wound up walking on at Dartmouth as a WR. He only played one season...graduated and went on to Med School. He just said he did it because he wanted to see if he could do it.

There was a kid at our school that pulled the same crap. Don't remember him ever saying he had a scholarship offer, but he would talk a big game and "get injured" right before spring ball or during the summer. Ended up in the military as well.

So there was a guy at our high school that was extremely tall. He was 6-5 in 7th grade. But he was one of those tall guys that had zero coordination but if he caught the ball cleanly, it was 2 points.
Anyway, he obviously had no trouble making our junior high team, but he would always say how he was being recruited by Arkansas and UCLA (This was the mid-90s, those were the teams). This went on for a couple years and I started dating his sister. I was over at his house one day and mentioned his recruitment.
His dad was a Pentecostal preacher and heard me. The guy got in a lot of trouble for lying. I mean, the dad took his belt off right in front of me and beat the kid. I felt bad and I actually had no doubt at the time that he was being truthful.
He begged me not to say anything and I didn't. He ended up transferring to a religious private school after he got dog cussed in practice. I think he played at a Christian college eventually.

Played flag football with a guy that claimed he could run a 4.2, but would never race.
He also claimed Jerry Rice would go home in the offseason and would come out a play with them during their spring practices. He would routinely shutdown Rice, but could never cover anyone in flag. I Assumed they went to the same HS because he claimed to be from the same area as Rice. Never cared enough to look.
The best was when he would tell me he could run a sub 4 minute mile, and his 800m time was around 2.10. Even if he could run a 2.10 800m, that would be a 4.05ish mile if he kept the same pace.

Maybe so, but travel ball wasn't really a thing in the late 80's in my hometown.

I've worked offshore for 25 years I've heard one or two. Worked with a guy we were talking deer hunting, comparing deer in Louisiana and Mississippi. He says well the only reason there are even deer in Louisiana is because some of my uncles and people in my family rounded up some deer from Mississippi and drove them into Louisiana. Weird enough as a statement, I mean I am thinking with dogs?? But then he went into details about how on horseback, they rounded up deer from Mississippi and literally drove them like a heard of cows into Louisiana. He was serious.....
Another I was talking with a Mud Logger, he would tell me how he was in Army special forces (he was a cook in the Army) but one day he was telling me how good he was at football and even made it to the pros where he was RED SHIRTED for the Miami Dolphins. I said what?? They don't redshirt people in the pro's, what, did they put you on the practice squad or something?? He said no, I was redshirted. Begins to explain to me the process of redshirtting and it is exactly like in college. I tell him again you don't redshirt in the pros. He said oh, so you know because you played pro ball? I said no, so that makes 2 people in here that never have. He got up and walked out.
Worked with a guy told me one night that he met this widow woman, they had sex and afterwards she grabbed his junk and held it and clicked for like she was calling a dog. This little dog jumped up on the bed and began to clean off his junk. I said WHAT!?!?! was it at least a female dog?? He said I don't know but I dated her for 2 years just because of the dog. I still don't believe it was a female dog.
