“Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.”
I am a teller of lies, a weaver of untruths. I can dance, sing, and in the right weather I can stand on my head. I know seven words of Latin, I have a little magic, and a trick or two. I know the proper way to meet a Dragon, I can fight dirty but not fair, I once swallowed thirty oysters in a minute. I am not domestic, I am a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.
Follow me on an adventure into invention.
Lets just get a few things sorted here, what is a lie exactly?
lie (SPEAK FALSELY)
verb [I] lying, lied, lied
to say or write something which is not true in order to deceive someone:
Are you lying to me?
Don’t trust her – she’s lying.
I suspect he lies about his age.
lie
noun [C]
something that you say which you know is not true:
I told a lie when I said I liked her haircut.
Now there are many types of lie and we can discuss Jacose lies and white lies until we are green in the face and blue with envy but one thing remains constant, we all tell lies, and if anyone tells you different, well there is probably a word for them.
Personally I love lies, lies are the stuff adventure is made out of. Without lies the world would be a very dull place indeed.

I welcome comments like an old friend, with caution. You can never be too sure what they have been up to. However if you really must, and I’m sure you do, feel free to add a comment or two. Please no essays, links to people doing odd things to each other with beetroot or racist propaganda, because if you really think about it a bit, that stuff just isn’t cool.

I currently have no comment to make, which in itself is a lie.
