Ha ha ha, nice one, and it s always a fun sport if done correctly, but there are few times that playing along the dumb role a bit is quite fun too if you can make a total dumb of the liar. I bet it wouldn't be easy on you :).
I used to have a roommate that lied about EVERYTHING. I don't think it was recreational though. I think it was just that he didn't know how to tell the truth. We called him "Joel the Liar". Totally outrageous stuff too, like "One time I raced this NASCAR car and beat it in my Pontiac Grand Am." Or, "One time I jumped my car OVER this other car." He also claimed to have been an alternate in the '96 Olympics (when he was 15). We were all pretty sure his event was the 100 meter bullshit.
I used to practice this as well. I convinced a friend of mine that I was a "Type B" Diabetic, and that I needed to maintain my blood-sugar level. To do so, I needed to take sugar pills every four to six hours. In essence, I needed a placebo perscription. I did get her to believe me. She was a nursing student.
Truly, lying is the sport of kings. My past successes include convincing people that:
- Part of China had fallen into the sea, and 18 million Chinese people were looking for somewhere else to live. - One of my friends had lost a buttock in a 'pig related incident'. - Steven Hawking genuinely has retractable helicopter rotors hidden in his wheelchair.
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility - you risk people no longer believing you when you tell the truth (For example, no one will listen to me when I tell them that there wasn't a single human born worldwide during 1927.)

hahaha, I do this all the time. I like to tell people I am a Chinese National but my foster parents moved to the US when I was a young boy. The funny thing is I have gotten some people to actually believe me because I learned a few phrases in Mandarin. Both of my parents are actually from South America and I was born and raised in California.

I love the development of the Jenkins character. Keep putting him in your stip.
It was funny until Kegels. Then it was hilarious!
What's a kegel and how do I order a crate of them? I am so tried of today's outrageous toilet paper prices! No more!
Especially the toilet paper that they made to be like CHUCK NORRIS . . . It's rough, tough, and won't take shit off of nobody.
Hoo-man, an LOL in every panel, starting right from the first! "That's what I like to hear." "Yeah, I know." Kegels. Priceless.
screw you, what. Leave this place and never return, if you wish you soul intact.

BWAHAHAHA! Freaking awesome! Kegels?!?! ROFL!
Um, Jeremy B., look it up. I'm sure as heck not explaining that one.
I read this while going to the bathroom.
HHahahahahahaha
Just...brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Gumbercules: Oddly enough, my prescription are chewables which look just like M&Ms. They're working so far.
Thanks to your cartoon and Google I am far more educated than I usually would be by this time of day! Excellent work as always.
