You know... this is the first time I really do not know if this should be here, in the OT section or the GAH.com section. Right now, it's staying here because my luck tonight with my Train of Thought, I'd pull an amnesia bit and put it in GAHeroine. Why... don't ask me.

Note I said " Bill," not " bill" But you fluctuate so often. Exhibit A:

He reads, "The Joy of Busts".............

Actually the question is can a liar still be a good guy?
Whe would the green guys give it to Bill if he was bad.... maybe lying was a positive attribute in some ways.
Perhaps they needed someone who was able to stretch the truth. Comes in handy when trying to explain to your boss why your car keeps getting trashed out in the desert. If he wasn't a good liar, you'd have the first conversation with his boss be like this:
Boss: What happened to you last night?
Bill: Uh, gotta be honest here... I had a close encounter....
Boss: Not that Jo chick....
Bill: No... a close encounter... with aliens. John Mackie, you know my partner, was killed, but they got him and took him up into their spaceship. Then they gave me a new partner, a school teacher, instead. Then they gave us this superhero suit, and now my new partner can fly around and bend metal with his bare hands...
Boss: Bill, you know you'd look good in a white coat...
Bill: Like a sports coat?
Boss: Whatever....
OR THIS
Boss: Where's Mackie?
Bill: I don't know!! Geez, I sent him to get some back up, and you know what, he never came back....
I think Bill is supposed to be a good liar... that's why we love him... ALL HAIL BILL MAXWELL!!!

Well, he's NOT good at it. Any idiot (enter Ralph ) can see that most of the times when not paying attention to other things. I think Bill was chosen because of his loner-like abilities...his ability to think well in a crisis most times...and his position. He was in a better position to help than most normal people And as I teach my class: Everyone is a liar...and you see how that affects the relationship badly at times. I think the GG chose him because of his positive attributes rather than his bad ones. I think they realized that when push came to shove, Bill would do what was right...example Tracy Winslow. Lying happens and Bill does WAY too much of it. He is a good guy based on his actions because they speak louder than words, but his forked tongue TRIED to drown them out at times...example THE LOST DIABLO.

Oh brother... Guys, this might have to move to the OT section. (Then again, we're on topic in the OT thread, so it's a conundrum.)

Bill's wife just loved Larry, the used car salesman...........he was a great liar (he had to be in his job) and Bill had lied to her often........why do women always go for the same kind of guy? LOL!! But Bill also lied to her about other things too... like what he was REALLY doing on those stake outs.
Bill: I've gotta go, darlin. See ya in a couple of days...
The X: And you're going to be staked out at the Sleazy Eight Motel again?
Bill: Yeah... it's awful... those bank robbers pick the worst places to hide out in...
The X: Your partner, what's his name... Joe? Is he going with you again....?
Bill: Uh, yeah.... that's his name....

Did you know that talking about a topic being OT is adding to the problem of MAKING it OT? It does and it doesn't because we go in and out on the topic when we're discussing this. (OK, Duck... Duck... Goose sounds good right about now. It makes more sense than my drivel.)

You are so right Jo!!! Bill had to be a great liar to make a great partner for Ralph. Lying is a very positive atrribute in Bill. And one that the Green Guys looked for. They did not want to be found out, their cover blown...nah.....Bill covered things up real well....and he was also very lucky that "Captain Bellybuster" was around when that newspaper guy got a picture of Ralph flying!!
That is one of the things I love about Bill.........he can lie and lie but his lies have a purpose in the scheme of things.
Bill is my hero!!

Hey, I started this with my Shrine to Bill.... just because it's being overrun with the wild hordes.... well, that's no excuse...
Hey, Mac, shouldn't you be in the Match Game section anyway? Don't you have a counselor to track down and beat an answer out of??
Why won't you go about your business?

Lying about the map so he could pocket all the gold does NOT sound very purposeful.

Why won't you go about your business? I don't want to go about my business... that'd involve more picture taking and I'm tired instead of MelMac. As far as chasing our favorite counselor for her answer... I haven't seen her yet. She must've had a way to get the suit away from Ralph and is using invisibility right now.

Bill: Forget the news! Break the window!!
