I’m actually **CairoCarol** , but I made a grave mistake whilst signing up: should have been **CairoCARL**. Rather than make a huge fuss, I broke serious protocol and adopted the **burpo** persona and let **Carol** go fallow. How it gets/answers posts beats the Shinola outta me! ---

I’m less successful than **boson** , since only _two_ of my books are on the best seller lists. This angers me so much that I am setting out tonight on a mission to put itching powder into boson’s closets, sheets, shoes, couch, and anywhere else that boson might possibly come into contact with. ---

I am in possession of a Super 8 film (no sound) of a little girl (age approx 6) in a Petting Zoo, petting a Llama & eating a candy bar. Suddenly, the head of the llama comes off, & the front unzips, revealing itself as a cunning crafted costume. The man inside the Llama suit is Richard Milhaus Nixon. Looking around swiftly, Nixon does not seem to notice that he is being filmed. He forcibly takes the candy from the little girl (a Zagnut Bar), kicks the child, & swiftly walks away. The little girl throws Llama Poo at him. He chases her with a stick. The film ends. ---

I was hired to ghost write a Chuck Tingle cookbook. The project was shut down after the publisher conducted a focus group. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lie-about-yourself/987965.md?page=33) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lie-about-yourself/987965.md?page=35)
