Well here is the answer -

42. Talk about the anal hobbit and how that changed your life. - The Anal Hobbit was a character created by Boneprone at the Portland AWE show in 2001. Boneprone, Tanker, SixNine, and I were all sitting around in the afterhours suite when a newbie came up to us and said "I have 200 uniques a day, and I want to know how to make some money!" Boneprone loves to fuck with people. And he was in rare form that night! He said, "Well, you're lucky you asked us. We'll tell you the truth, not like all these other guys!" We spent the next couple hours telling the biggest, most elaborate bullshit story I have ever witnessed, all centered around "Jesuscash" and their best converting site "TheAnalHobbit.com". He told the guy that the Anal Hobbit was actually the midget from Austin Powers, but he couldn't get more work, so he turned to gay midget hobbit porn to make a living. I kept thinking the guy would realize we were feeding him bullshit, but he never did. I also thought we should let him off the hook before he left, but no one did that either. The story got so complicated and elaborate, with subplots and minor characters, I wish we had video taped the whole thing. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. When one person would run out of ideas, he'd pass it to the next guy, and so forth. We even pulled random people from the crowd, giving them a wink and asking them to verify pieces of the story. We've since adopted this into a convention game we call "Liar Liar" where the challenge is to see how long you can go without saying even ONE true thing. Another classic round happened last March in Cancun. We had a woman believing that I owned the internet, but I was getting bored with it and was considering closing it down. "But won't that affect millions of people?" "Well, yeah, but FUCK THEM, its MY internet!" The day of the Anal Hobbit story was a turning point for me. It was the debut of the "Lightspeed and Tanker" comedy show, where we first realized what a good team we would be. It was also the first show I attended where I felt invited to hang out with the "cool kids", instead of sitting in the lobby at 11pm, wondering where the hell everyone went! .
