This Sentence Is Not True.

Today's headline is known as The Liar Paradox. Scholars, theologians and philosophers have been trying to make sense of it since the 12th century. Idiots.

Anyway, after a sun-kissed Memorial Day visit to the great green Berkshires, Liar is back on grim grey concrete. This Saturday, please come to beautiful Cornelia Street Café and guess which one of these stellar storytellers is blowing smoke. Have a drink, have dinner, or just have a good time.

RE: The 9th Commandment

Since you've already failed the "Are You A Good Lover?" and "Are You A Good Parent?" style-rag tests, here's one last desperate shot at redemption: "Are You A Good Person?" I took this Ten Commandments quiz and my scores indicate it's too late for me, but if you've lived a good life (and not THE good life), there may be time to save yourself.

Way of the Master is the ministry of Kirk Cameron, of TV's "Growing Pains" fame (clearly, this is not just another a batty, fear-based, apocalyptic manifesto--it's adorable.) So go take the test, then meet me in Hell. (Special thanks to Dave Dickerson for pointing me in the right direction.)

And speaking of bearing false witness, check out the next Liar Show:

Monday, May 7: Three For The Price Of Four

Our next show features a radical departure from the regular Liar format. Follow closely, because this gets complicated. ONE: instead of four storytellers, there will be three. Okay, I guess that's really it. Funny, it doesn't sound as radical as I thought it would. But it will radically increase your chance of picking out the Liar--a full 33% boost. Or something. The math is pretty complex. Also, you'll notice that the show begins at 7:00, not the usual 8:00. At least I hope you'll notice. So, see you there. At 7:00 not 8:00. With 3 not 4.
