I knew two kids on my street like this. Well, the second one told those kinds of stories when I happened to catch back up with him in high school.
The first kid, I remember him telling me there was this R-rated version of Xanadu that was more like a very weird, and dark, sci-fi scheme. (His dad had bootleg connections, and we saw all kinds of movies on beta before cable even came to town. Xanadu was one of them, and we were apeshit for it, the soundtrack, everything.) It was really cool his ability to imagine these things and in such detail.
The kid in high school would tell me stuff about partying and his girlfriend and her car that she'd let him drive, and how they'd.....you know.....and I loved all of it. I figured he was full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, but the entertainment value was so worth it.
Even more so with the first kid, cos it was an instrumental component in developing my own imagination and vision.

it was over 25 years ago that's why i say he may have troubles remembering, he said it was after 100 frames of space invaders and the last 10 or so they stop moving down and you had to kill them from top to bottom, he even said the strategy used to do it, since the invaders move 1 row at a time you either had to shoot in front of them and let them move into it, or shoot at the rear as they dodge out the way, and what he says makes sense...
and he still remembers what it would look like the cocktail is sitting in my room atm i used to sue it as a desk for homework for school.
he did it late one night after closing, between 12am and 4am after closing the pizza bar he had, thus no one was around.

She used to tell us that she can't sleep at night because of all the nightmares she had from serving in Israeli army. Found out later she immigrated to US when she was almost 17. Then she started crap about having blood cancer and she will die soon. Next, that she was a private investigator, etc. etc. She was about 21 and in college then. :banghead:

i knew a girl like this too! not the same stories but they kept escalating to the point she had to split cause people starting asking questions...
her biggest whopper was:
"her family got kicked out of colorado and can never return becuase they filled their whole house with snow to escape from the mob..."

Gnateye, most likely they had couple of unpaid speeding tickets in that state, so after moving out they don't want to go there anymore :lol
