I had a friend in college who lied all the time. About stupid stuff. I think just to see if she could get away with it. [Well, in fairness, she was also very depressed and completely undiagnosed.] She eventually dropped out of school after she had alienated all of her friends (one of the things she was lying about was whether or not she was showing up to take tests in her classes). A quick Google search indicates that she went to UK (Kentucky, not England), joined a band there and got married while on air to a dj at the college radio station there. Gotta love the internet.

I will put aside comment regarding Tyrone Slothrop and the Politics board, and instead mention someone I worked with in DC during law school.
He went to George Mason which at the time was seen as the bottom of the DC schools (still good, but below GT, GW, AU and Cath.). Thing is he was very competitive and insecure and his girlfriend was at GT.
we had many dinners/parties that turned to his defense of how god GM really was. no one gave a shit except him, but clearly he really cared.
So one day Washington Post is doing a puff piece on the GW Bike Path, and interviewing riders, and mybuddy gets picked. He gives his name:
John Doe, student at Catholic Law School
it was so pathetic, like at least lie up to GT. but the funniest part was, his dad owned a decent sized NY Boutique firm. he could have went to matchbook school of law; it didn't matter.
