lies, you liar! Here it is, in the flesh, so to speak.
Haha. I wish I could claim it was me living up to my Tumblr URL. But in fact, it was just me being stupid.
Hm. I wonder if the owner of the ‘stupid’ Tumblr URL would consider trading…
In any event, my apologies.

You know what? You happen to have caught me in just the right frame of mind. Sure. You can totally have the ‘lies’ Tumblr URL. It’s yours.
Not sure if you’re aware of this, but you’re actually not the first person to ask for it — just the luckiest! :-) But don’t worry; I’ll make sure it only goes to you, not to one of those other losers.
Hm. How can we do that?

Haha. Followers, meet The Male Offspring (henceforth TMO). Because that has to be you.
Now I’m torn between the desire to try to discover your secret Tumblr by using that trick I’ve read about where I block the anon and then check my account’s blocked users list, or staying true to the spirit of the thing by respecting your anonymity.
Also, clearly I need to pay more attention to what you and your buddies are doing with the Netflix account.

Probably not. Almost certainly not.
But ever so slightly maybe.
If you were willing to explain more about why you want it, and what you would do with it if you had it, I would be very interested in hearing that.
I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. The answer will still be “almost certainly not” even if you take the time to send those details. But you will only be losing the time it takes to write and submit your response, and you apparently already thought it was worth doing that for your initial request, and even thought it was worth typing three ordinary “pleases” plus a special elongated one. And I can see that for the elongated one you didn’t just mash down the ‘e’ key and hold it down to type multiple letters; you took the time to duplicate the ‘s’ as well. I appreciate the extra effort that required. You’ve already made me think more highly of you than I do of a number of previous URL suitors.
Regardless of whether we continue our correspondence, thank you for asking so nicely, and for making me feel like the possession of the ‘lies’ Tumblr URL makes me a tiny bit special.
Everyone is special, of course. But it’s nice to have a specific thing, even something that, honestly, is no real indication of my actual worth as a person, that I can reflect on in the darkness when I’ve woken from a nightmare and need that sort of reassurance.
It’s okay. I still have the ‘lies’ Tumblr URL. Somewhere out there, someone wishes they were me, if only for long enough to transfer the URL to them so they could then resume their previous existence, only now with the benefit of a cooler, or at least shorter, URL.

since you are not giving him the “lies” URL, I hope you are taking him to this!!! I am cheering for the male offspring!
Of course you are. Of course you are.

Just give it to him!
See, I figured this is how I’d discover his secret Tumblr URL: The one who takes his side must be him.
I never in a thousand and one nights would have guessed it was you, though.

“Oh my god, just give it to me already.”

do you know what literally drives me up the fucking wall?
Fun fact: Tumblr user cringing is a ‘lies’ URL suitor. And therefore, just barely possibly, my son.
What a time to be alive.

#what is this awesomeness?
According to my male offspring, who has a Tumblr the URL of which he refuses to tell me, though he also has told me (persistently) that I should give him the ‘lies’ tumblr URL, because I am totally squandering it with my creepy old-guy usage, so it’s possible he’s one of the ones who’ve already pestered me for it:
This is from the Adult Swim show Rick and Morty, specifically, from the preview for the yet-to-be aired episode Lawnmower Dog.

Apologies if you’ve seen this before, but the standard response I typically give is:
* thank you for asking so nicely,
* but no, probably not, at least for now,
* but if you’d like to be in the running on the chance that I do decide to give up the URL, please let me know 1) why you want it, and 2) what you would do with it if you had it, and 3) what makes you more deserving than the other URL-suitors who covet it.
Thanks, and good luck!

This question kind of makes my brain hurt, because I’m using the ‘lies’ Tumblr URL as we speak. I’m using it right now! By answering this question!
Ta da!

Probably not. But if you would be willing to explain in more detail why you want it and what you would do with it, my followers and I will enjoy reading it. And I’ll reply publicly (if that’s okay with you), like I did here, so in that sense, at least, your words will actually be appearing as part of the much-coveted ‘lies’ Tumblr URL.
It’s a small sort of accomplishment, I realize. But who knows what it might lead to. The journey of a thousand li, and all that.

High-confidence “no” on that one. I keep trying to use twitter, and keep failing. I know some people find it super compelling, but that has yet to click for me.

Empirical data to date suggests no, but I keep saying yes. What could it mean?
Reposted from http://lies.tumblr.com/post/62645341968.
Ooh, that’s a new twist: You want it for a friend. Donating the url to make someone else happy, rather than making the person actually asking for it happy, does actually resonate with me more than I would have expected.
Why does your friend deserve this gift? And what makes you think she’d appreciate it?

Explain why you want it, but explain it so compellingly that:
Really, that’s all it will take. I’m kinda surprised no one has bothered yet.

My followers are extremely fickle. If I were to switch to another url I bet most of them would leave in a heartbeat (probably to start following you). I don’t think I should risk it.
