Bonnie, Kendall tells stories, many of which are, I hope, untrue. Legally, none of these are lies, because they are told to entertain, with no actual intent to deceive. (or is it "decieve?" I before E except after C and all that crap...Max, when are you going to build a spell checker into Mudcat?)

Anyway, notwithstanding the above, in the Northeast, at least, tellers of tall tales refer to themselves as "liars" with great pride, and sometimes claim to be "Champion liars."
