Wikipedia says it's a successful gospel group. Never heard of them, which isn't really surprising. Given their (relative) obscurity, why is subby so confident that it was a lie?

I often work with a voice talent who was a backup singer for Roy Orbison.
But I'm actually more impressed that she was in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

This reminds me of the scene in "The Untouchables" where Elliot Ness is all bummed out on the bridge and Sean Connery comes up to him and gives him the once over and then taps his nightstick on Ness's chest to discover that he is carrying a gun. Ness tells him that he is a federal agent and Connery starts to walk off. Ness gives him a ration of shiat about turning his back on a man with a gun and Connery replies "Who would say he was such a thing if he weren't?"

I was driving over a really high over-pass that goes across railroad tracks on my way to work.

There's a giant billboard that says "PREGNANT? CONFUSED? FIND HELP!"

I thought it was kind of ironic in some bizarre way.

Put a giant billboard about being terrified of babby on top of a giant bridge. S-M-R-T.

Dear God.

If you had believed her and bought her a drink you could have been posting about sleeping with a backup singer from SWV.

One of my staff tries to spend all day on FB. Coincidentally, whenever I need something that she's been "working" on, she was *JUST* about to get to it, according to her. She also likes to print random e-mails whenever I go to the printer to try to show me that she's working on something. Some folks need micromanagement but I've got too much to do to sit over her as. She'd be dipping into my Fark time.

/just had to write her up

Not recent, but a year or two ago my wife's friend came to visit with her BF. He told me he was a retired NYC cop. I saw no reason to doubt him. But as the visit wore on, he kept giving me bigger and bigger stories, that he was ex-SWAT, he was on the federal terrorism task force, he was an expert in car theft crime, etc, etc. He said he was getting $90k/yr in retirement, and yet he said he just bought a used minivan for $300. My wife's friend told her that she had never been to visit the guy's place, and he spent all his time at her place, eating her food, etc.

\The guy obviously never learned to shut up

A friend of mine was dating a girl who said she she was almost signed to be "Lady Gaga". It was between her and Stephanie Germanotta (sp?) and they picked Stephanie. She also says she was a back up singer for Lady Gaga.

However, I've never heard this girl sing in the year+ I've known her nor have I met any of her "music industry" friends.

/he broke up with her, haven't seen her in a while

You won't believe what I did last weekend. I put on a bunch of spray tan and a little dress, and got a weave. Went to the bar and told everyone I was a backup singer for the group SWV in the '90s. I got so many free drinks.
